Who: Sam Winchester
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: SS Bloodsport
When: Now-ish!

[Man, he had the nicest dream. And yeah, he knows it's just a dream, because it's nice. That's literally the criteria the dude works with most nights. His brother and mother and Cas, they were all sitting in the bunker enjoying a movie, or something. He couldn't remember the movie exactly, but there were people who were definitely supposed to be dead there. And they had retired, and it was all good, and they were talking about fishing nearby where it's really abandoned —

When he peels his eyes open he feels like he has the biggest hangover of his life — and is more than a little uneasy (that dream didn't help), and before long he's shuffling through the halls of the Bloodsport like a full month of being missing didn't happen. He knows something's off for sure, but, um. He's also half-awake, hair askew and palm pressing into the socket of one eye to stave off a migraine.]

Man, where'd this even come from...

[Don't worry, it'll go away eventually. He'll just. Make some coffee. Yes.

He sits down with his cup of coffee and turns on his comm device, and nearly spits his drink on it.]

I've been out a month!?

[AW MAN, NOT LOST TIME AGAIN.

Sam Winchester and lost time, not buddies, thanks.

A little while later, after he catches up with his buddies:]

[VOICE.]

Hey, uh. So. I've been out a while. Sorry about that — It's been a hell of a... time... I guess. To be honest, I can't really say it feels like it's been that long. I might as well pick up right where I left off, though — right. Blood drives are at the Iskaulit; I'll be available throughout the next few days for that, if you're interested in donating blood.

You do have some paperwork to fill out, and I'm keeping the cut-off at 16, but for those who qualify, it can be a matter of life or death around here when things go crazy.

For anyone new, hey — I'm Sam Winchester, employee at The Space Bar. I also loan out books from my personal stash if you're feeling bored. If you're a new face to me, I'd love to learn more about you, especially what kind of earth or universe you're from. We all seem to have pretty interesting diverging paths at some point, even if the rest of our Earths match up pretty well.

... Like for example, imaginary friends are real in my world, and Snooki is a demon.

Comments

action!!!

[axi]

[Kaname's on her way from the lounge when she hears a (weirdly) familiar yell, causing her to drop the book she's holding. With a quick swipe, she grabs it and heads to the kitchen, still shocked to see him despite the inkling he was back.]

Sam! Are you okay?

[collegedropout]

[He coughs and has to reorient himself after nearly shooting coffee out his nose, thanks. And really, he shouldn't be surprised that this kind of thing happens to him. He's a Winchester, they lose time like nobody's business.]

Kaname, h-hey. I'm good, I'm — It's been a while? I guess?

[... How've you been?]

voice

[passingthrough]

[Kitty is relieved to hear the familiar voice over the network again and more relieved that he remembers the place. Okay, technically it might be less awkward around the edges if he didn't, but she figures this is for the best. She's also happy for Castiel who was extremely worried about him and really went above and beyond for him. She had some lingering symptoms to prove it.]

Look at you coming back with a full agenda.

Also, [before anything else can happen] if the imaginary friends are real wouldn't that just make them friends?

voice

[collegedropout]

Oh, you know me. Gotta make up for lost time.

[Also, he's just a busybody in general. But anyway.]

Funny thing about imaginary friends — nobody else can see them or know they're there.

The official title is Zanna, though.

voice

[therewerefifty]

Are you all right?

voice

[collegedropout]

Oh, I'm great. I mean, I feel like I overslept so much it's turned into a hangover.

Has everything been alright?

[voice]

[hollystrike]

Oh, you're back. I didn't even notice you were gone.

[Breezily.]

[voice]

[collegedropout]

Katie, the coat hanging on the coat hanger in the corner wasn't me.

[It's okay, he can breezily reply, too.

You gotta learn how, with her around.]

[sylphid]

[Fie peers into the camera actually looking a little interested.]

How much do you charge for the blood?

video;

[collegedropout]

... It's for medical or dietary needs.

Are you a vampire, or do you just want to own a vial of blood?

voice

[monolike]

Hey, we've got a bunch of books too. Mikleo and I do, I mean; maybe we can do some short-term trades? [hi my name is sorey and i've read everything in this fleet four times]

voice

[collegedropout]

That sounds good to me. I honestly could use new reading material. As much as I like alien soap operas, the books from different planets are getting a little stale. What kind of stories are you interested in?

voice

[moseyin]

I'd just like to point out that with how often you and Nami disappear, it would be so incredibly easy for me to stage a coup. If I ever wanted to, I'm just saying.

voice

[collegedropout]

What, you'd really want to deal with a ship by yourself?

[It's nice to see you too, buddy.]

text

[expellerhead]

You really took that 'take a rest' advice to heart.

text

[collegedropout]

To be honest, it didn't feel much like a rest.

I'm exhausted. How's everyone else doing? Nothing bad happened while I was out?

action

[angelofthevored]

[NOPE not bothering with a phone, just going right over to the Bloodsport to hunt Sam down and immediately examine him. Don't mind Cas he just sniffed you out (literally) and- wait does he look feverish? His palms are definitely clammy when he takes Sam's face in his hands to look into his eyes and then try to tilt his head back to stare up into his nose.]

action

[collegedropout]

Cas-

[Oh my god, dude, what are you doing. Oh my lord.

He pats away the lingering hands, wrinkling his brow and studying him with some measure of both fond exasperation and concern. Of course Cas would be here to do a once-over. But other than some signs of weariness (it was not as restful as sleeping should be, not that he was even on the ship, but it's not like he knows that-), he's entirely fine.]

Cas, I'm good. Really.

... You look a little worse for wear, though. Are you alright?

Video

[meowbel]

Well! It's very nice to meet you, Sam! I don't think I've seen you around here just yet so therefore, I must be new here according to you!

Video

[collegedropout]

[Oh no, not a kid. That's the last thing the fleet should be having, and yet it happens way too often. But he's pleasant, used to addressing kids with a usual brand of politeness.]

Nice to meet you, too. How long ago did you arrive here?

Voice

[onlyanapple]

Sully, right?

[He remembers from Sam's calibration. It's something that stuck in his mind- well, honestly all of it stuck in his mind, but that...that he remembers. ]

Anyway, welcome back. As is custom, I shoved all your shit out of the airlock.

[He didn't. As is custom.]

Voice

[collegedropout]

Oh, yeah, that'd be him. Sully.

[Darn those calibrations. Well, as long as Sully's the topic and not... all that other awful shit.]

And you definitely didn't. I'm onto you and your need to keep up the bad boy image.

... Also Nami would be pissed off that you're not selling the stuff and wasting potential credits.

voice.

[rebuildyourruins]

I'm glad to hear you're back. You were 'out' in more than one way.

[Enough to inspire some crazy shenanigans, dude.]

voice.

[collegedropout]

Yyyeah, so I've heard. Completely vanished from the ship, right?

It happens, sometimes, but we have no idea what actually causes it.

[wingenvy]

[Zack's doing a morning jog through the hallway and making a pit stop in the kitchen for a drink when he stumbles upon the unexpectedly de-coma'd crew.]

Whoa, hey! Look who's still alive!

action;

[collegedropout]

[He holds up a hand and does a friendly little wave. Totally normal morning, hey.]

I am. I think at this point, death wouldn't want to deal with me anyway.

[Hardy harrrrr.]

I'm kind of a pain in the ass like that.

voice; this one too

[tsunergy]

Welcome back, I'm glad you're alright.

Your friend is kind of a jerk, by the way.

voice;

[collegedropout]

.....................

You mean Cas?

[Cas what the fuck did you do, I already have a bad enough rep with the seraph types.]

voice;

[oratorical]

[While she has some questions about that last comment (like, what's a Snooki), what Leia is more focused on it--]

It's a bit strange how many people come from a galaxy with a planet called Earth.

[but that aside--]

I'd be interested in donating blood whenever the next blood drive happens.

voice;

[collegedropout]

[He gives a slight nod.]

Sure thing, you can drop by any time the next two days — I can take you to the lab area we've got set up aboard the Iskaulit. [Nothing too fancy about it, either. Just a quick in and out, and the medical supplies here are a bit better off than those from Earth.] And yeah, my planet is usually kind of an over-saturation here. Where might you be from?
