Nice weather we've got, huh? Haven't seen anything like what's up in the sky in a long time.

[90% encrypted to Iorveth, Fenris, and Castiel]

[He's thought about this for a few days; Dean's sitting on some information that more people need to know about, but there are kids on this turtle and he'd rather avoid freaking them out if he can. Plus, there are people here who might think the Emperor is weird, but that she's a pretty okay person overall, and he's not up to changing people's minds at the moment.

So he wants to share things with people he trusts, except he doesn't trust anybody here who isn't Cas. Fortunately (?), the turtle is casting off some awesome chill-out vibes, so Dean decides to extend a friendly hand to Fenris and an olive branch to Iorveth.]

Found some info while the Emperor was on shore leave you two might be interested in, some kind of history about this place and not the modified bullshit they've been feeding us. This comes straight from her library and I don't think it was meant to be found.

These are our allies.

[bro one of them does not like you v. much]

[notamachine]

[yeah but that is kind of the story of dean's life when it comes to allies]

Well, no, they're-- [Dean you are failing at this] They're friends, okay? You can trust them.

[bondsprofoundly]

You know I trust your judgment, Dean.

[Especially after uh, that mess. He'll trust Dean's judgment with moral issues, at least. Dean's compass seems to be a little more accurate than Castiel's, after all.

Most of the time. Dean's still pals with him, after all. Sometimes he'll meet people, and they'll dazzle him somehow and he'll just shove every ounce of trust onto them in an almost heartbreaking way.

...Yeah okay Cas is vanishing from view, he'll be back in a minute.]

[notamachine]

[wait

what

what Cas no

CAS NO]

Cas! Goddammit, Cas, get back here!

[bondsprofoundly]

[Cas comes back after a minute and his shirt is all bloody. Dude don't have a cow ok chill out]

What?

[notamachine]

[. . .]

The fuck did you do?!

[bondsprofoundly]

I met one of our allies. [Isn't that obvious? Look see there's blood on his shirt, obviously he introduced himself to someone.]

[notamachine]

Yeah, I can see that. What'd you do, just...show up in his house? You can't do that!

[bondsprofoundly]

Why? [Let's just fix that mess, there, that's better. Cas flaps out his coat lapels.]

[notamachine]

Cas. [Dean rubs his face. Speaking slowly won't help here.] You can't just appear in people's houses. They don't like it. Especially not people like me or...or them. [Probably. It's just a hunch but IT LOOKS LIKE THAT HUNCH IS CORRECT]

[bondsprofoundly]

It was the quickest and most convenient way to meet him. [Dean time is of the essence here. If the Emperor notices her shit missing she is going to be PISSED and possibly looking for it. They should form alliances immediately.]

[notamachine]

So you decided appearing in the middle of his room would be the best idea. Yeah, clearly that worked out great, because he stabbed you in the chest!

[Ah, isn't it delightful when Dean gets angry and his voice starts rising with every word? And isn't Cas glad he gets to hear such a thing?]

[bondsprofoundly]

You've stabbed me in the chest. [it doesn't even hurt man]

[notamachine]

Because you appeared out of nowhere when I didn't even know what angels were please tell me you're seeing what the problem is here!

[bondsprofoundly]

I noticed the similarities. [still don't see the problem tho

not his fault you shacked up with buds who are like your little elvish clones]

[notamachine]

[what

they are not]

You are going to freak people out. Freaking people out is less than ideal. Don't do that. And try not to get stabbed again.

[bondsprofoundly]

It was fine after he finished stabbing me, Dean. [dude it's cool it all worked out this is how cas communicates]

[notamachine]

[Cas' way of communicating sucks.] If by fine you mean he didn't lop your head off then yeah, fine. Please don't do that again. I value my balls.

[bondsprofoundly]

Fine, fine. [If you're gonna get all worked up by it.]

[notamachine]

[yes he is

okay, he's over it.]

So I take it you're not bestest buddies yet.

[bondsprofoundly]

It could be better. [It's still not bad. Cas has worse relationships with a few choice people out there.]

[notamachine]

[So does Dean, though to be fair, that isn't saying much for either of them.] He's a straightforward guy, though. Gotta respect that.

[bondsprofoundly]

Yes. He is that. [Cas should pop in on that other guy at some point too, but maybe after Dean meets up with him. Might piss him off less if he waits first.]
