[ Ping! Suddenly you receive a photo of.. a piece of paper with text on it? Apparently someone wanted to send you something, but didn't want to bother finding out where everyone lives..

It's a photo of a card that has text on it in perfect yet somehow also still legible calligraphy. It looks ridiculously fancy for what's written on it, which is-- ]

You are hereby cordially invited to:

ADAINE AND FABIAN'S BREATHTAKING BIRTHDAY BASH!

It will be held today, June 3rd, in the rec room of the apartment building. Presents are not necessary, but a good attitude is most definitely required! There will be drinks, dancing and general merriment, because we all deserve something good after that labyrinth!

Trust me - it will be the party of the century here, and you DO NOT want to miss it!

- Fabian Aramais Seacaster

P.S. If you do not know my good friend Adaine yet, make sure to get to know her at the party. She is an absolute delight, and I want her to have the best birthday party possible!

P.P.S. If you do attend, you will be able to see I most certainly AM cool and VERY popular, alright!

[ For all characters who would attend, there is a log right over here! ]

[venatoris]

Hey, kid. You good? You got a place to crash, all that?

un: 🔪

[onlychildsyndrome]

yeah i moved right back under my park bench where i have a mattress made out of crumpled newspaper

(i sleep in the farm with all the other kids. a couple of superpowered kids run it, it's fine)

[venatoris]

you're a real smartass, you know that?

oh, okay. was gonna see if you wanted a room at the bunker, but you've got some real lost boys shit going on

[onlychildsyndrome]

wait, maybe i do want a room at the bunker. the summer camp vibes are cool and all but i gotta stop eating corner store food

move up to like... microwaveable meals.

[venatoris]

screw that, I make real people food. i'm done with gas station burritos and minimart garbage.

[onlychildsyndrome]

i havent eaten anything but garbage since i got here

please give me real food

[venatoris]

yeah no more of that.

bunker's kind of a bitch to get to and it ain't glamorous, but you got a room and food here if you want it.

[ he can send directions. ]

kinda out on it's own. just knock when you get here, it's pretty locked down

[onlychildsyndrome]

I'll be over for lunch.

[venatoris]

sounds good I'll have burgers on the menu

[onlychildsyndrome]

[ the next response comes like 20 minutes later ]

thanks. not to get all lame about it, but everything's fucked up and it's cool to have, fuck, i don't know, a government-assigned adult or whatever

[venatoris]

[ look, dean likes kids and he'll never admit it or talk about it but he violently misses ben. ]

well, even now we're back home I'm still happy to be your state appointed tired old man

[onlychildsyndrome]

im saving ur number as gramps

[venatoris]

well, that's better than 'dead'

[onlychildsyndrome]

not as funny tho

text - un; nightmoves (backdated to around the ship falling)

[venatoris]

Hey, kid -

if you hit up the bunker and I'm not there it's because i'm still in the hospital, swing by room 20B and i'll just give you a key

[onlychildsyndrome]

how did u get hurt? u can't get hurt, think of my mental health dude

[venatoris]

i was on that stupid ship when it came down. broke my stupid leg

i'll buy you a twinkie when i'm out, will that help?

[onlychildsyndrome]

twinkies are free. you can't use treats to bribe me.

i'll bring you lunch. what do you want?

[venatoris]

i'll let you sit in the impala

burger. lots of bacon

[onlychildsyndrome]

Fries? a milkshake?

[venatoris]

yes and yes. you're a lifesaver

[onlychildsyndrome]

i'll be there in a bit. and also im very disappointed in you, young man. you can't just go and break your bones

[venatoris]

trust me these youthful bones are in open protest against my choices

2/2

[venatoris]

also bring pie

→ action

[ he does show up at Dean's room with take out like forty minutes later. ]

If I'm gonna be the adult in this relationship you gotta start calling me sir.

[venatoris]

[ hell yes. hospital food only takes you so far. ]

Ha, ha. [ He's tired but decidedly grumpy he's still here, leg with a cast up to his knee resting on top of the sheet. He's pissed about it, but what can you do when your wayward angel is indeed wayward? ]

Is there pie? I think I smell pie.

[onlychildsyndrome]

Yeah, but I'm pretty sure you should eat the burger first.

[ it's apple pie too. ]

Where's your angel? Can't he heal you? Healing sounds like the kinda thing angels should be able to do.

[venatoris]

Not a clue. He’s kinda wayward. Does what he wants most of the time.

[ Dean does not have a clue where Cas is at any given moment, and frankly that is not all that unusual. ]

True. Don’t want the burger to get cold. Hand it over. [ He’s reaching for it like Oliver Twist, please sir can I have some more ]

I’m ravenous.

[onlychildsyndrome]

[ He hands the burgers over and then looks around, knowing there should be one of those bed trays somewhere. ]

He's not your guardian angel?

[ Are guardian angels even a thing? ]

[venatoris]

[ Definitely a tray, shoved in a corner. Dean isn’t waiting for it though, he’s tearing into the box and taking a huge bite. ]

Mmph.

[ Chew, swallow. ]

Not in the way people think. [ He takes another bite. ] There’s another version of him here now. Different timeline.

[onlychildsyndrome]

[ He brings the tray over, unfolding it and setting it over Dean's lap. Then, after a moment of consideration, he climbs on the side of the bed Dean's occupying less.

Scoot over. So, which one's from the worse timeline?

[ He knows marvel movies, he understands the concept. ]

[venatoris]

[ He scoots over to make room with a little grunt, holding his food up until the tray is safely in his lap. ]

Hard to say, if I'm being honest. In one, the apocalypse happens. Lucifer wins, the whole shebang. In another, the Darkness, God's sister gets let out, and Cas accidentally caused all the angels to fall from heaven and their wings burned off.

[ He takes a bit bite of his burger. ]

You tell me.

[onlychildsyndrome]

[ That's a lot of metaphysical information for him to process so he's simply not going to try. ]

Okay, in which version is he less fucked up?

[venatoris]

[ He offers him a pickle from his burger, a significant thing, because pickles are amazing. ]

That's another good question. They're both a mess in different ways, but they're good.

[onlychildsyndrome]

[ He accepts the pickle, understanding this is an important bonding moment. Like sharing your food with a cat. ]

Congratulations on your two boyfriends, I guess.

[ He'll offer a milkshake right after saying that :) ]

[venatoris]

You're funny, kid.

[ Hilarious, and Dean would flick something at him if his dinner wasn't so precious.

That milkshake though, oh God that is divine, blasphemy intended. ]

Damn this is good. You hit the diner?

[onlychildsyndrome]

Yeah. That's why it's all so greasy.

[ Terrible diner burgers are the best burgers. He's eating his own just as quickly. ]

Healthy food is for nerds.

[venatoris]

You are the perfect fake child, you know that?

[ Peas in a pod, these two. ]

Oh, yeah. My brother? Total health nut, huge nerd. [ He's going for some fries now, chowing down, happy as a clam with his milkshake. ] He'd got those salads you put in a cup and shake, know what I mean?

[onlychildsyndrome]

Yeah, my dad was like that. Had me measuring my protein intake.

[ He's 14 and skinny. But his dad wanted him to be a pro athlete. ]

I hate those salads.

[venatoris]

Sounds like Sam. Always doing pull ups and crap.

[ Sam was so weird. ]

Me too. Why have that when you can have this? [ He wiggles a fry, shoves it in his mouth. ] Life's too short for healthy crap.

[onlychildsyndrome]

Plus, you probably get enough cardio doing monster hunting.
