Dean?

[Sam is looking a little befuddled, but not like he just now arrived. It's merely the face of concentration as he tries to work out what's happened. And how this thing works; he's managed not to lock it to Dean alone, because he's still thinking of it as a phone.]

Look, I don't know what's going on here, and I'm not sure exactly what I'm looking at, but it looks like you're here and have been for awhile. Not sure what that means, but if you're out there, I'd really like to know, man.

[He bites his lip.]

Oh and I can't find your car.

[At this point Mary just thinks that he's one of Dean's friends from their world because she's never see Sammy all grown up. So here's mom, smiling warmly at him.]

Dean's here and you're right, he has been here a while. They call this place the City and there are some deities who run the place.

[Sam just stares. He's seen the photos. As a child, he'd studied them. His eyes go big and uncertain, even as he tries to remind himself: it might be a trick. Right? A trap. But all he can manage right now is a tiny,]

Mom?

[Well that wasn't what she was expecting to come out of the stranger's mouth and the surprise shows on her face. Thankfully Mary is better prepared for this than Sam might be so she recovers quickly. This wasn't like the last time when little Sammy had shown up when he would only be around for the weekend - this time he was here to stay. The smile she gives him is filled with love.]

Hello Sammy.

[totallyinaband]

Sam!

Hey man, good to have you-

[wait a second. Back up. Shit.]

You don't remember where you are?

[Video]

[iwatchtjhooker]

[He's never heard her call him that. He's never heard her say anything. His brow furrows and he swallows again. It doesn't make any sense. She can't be here, and he doesn't know where "here" is. The City. Deities.]

Mom, am I dead?

[iwatchtjhooker]

No. Do I know you? [Obviously, the guy knows him. This is officially the weirdest phone call ever.]

[totallyinaband]

Fuck. Uh, you must be one of the ones who doesn't remember.

Sorry, not really that helpful. Uh, hi? This is The City. You're stuck here. Your brother's aroind, he'll probably come to get you as soon as he sees this.

[a tiny pixie-ish face with a mess of short pink hair is totally filling screen now, bouncing with excitement. Prepare to be squeed at, Sam Winchester.]

OH MY GOSH! It's Sam! You're Sam Winchester!

We didn't really talk that much before you left but OMG your brother was so worried and pissed off and I promised him you'd come back and now you're HERE! Everyone's goin to be so amazingly happy to see you!

[Maybe insensitive, but -]

Dude, where's your car?

[rehymenator]

Sam.

[rehymenator]

[ Well. Okay, maybe not the right one. Wow, buddy, you're way far behind! You can't even know Castiel yet. What is up with the City and bringing in everyone from previous time lines right now? ]

[rehymenator]

Your brother might be...a little hung over. He lives at [ insert some bogus address here! ] if you'd like to go find him.

Action;

[dude-imbatman.livejournal.com]

[Dean wakes up to someone pounding on his door. He gets out of bed, pulls on a pair of jeans and a tee shirt. His hair is crazy, he's incredibly hung over and cranky at the moment. He'd planned on sleeping most of the day. He throws open the door and barks out a cranky]

What?

[And then he sees who it is and his expression is shocked.]

[synanthrope]

Finding cars is more of a challenge than most people anticipate, here.

[iwatchtjhooker]

The city. Well, that's specific. And what, exactly, am I supposed to remember?

[video]

[iwatchtjhooker]

[Sam backs away slightly, despite the fact it's just a screen.]

Okay, seriously. Never been here before in my life.

[You're all creeping him out.]

audio )

[iwatchtjhooker]

You're hilarious.

Who are you?

[iwatchtjhooker]

I guess. I just left it--

Never mind. So people lose cars a lot, then?

[iwatchtjhooker]

[Sam stares at Flat-Affect Trenchcoat Guy for a second. He doesn't look like who would be privy to Dean's state of intoxication or its after-effects. And right now, Sam's getting a little peeved at Dean for being hung over in the first place. Just like him, to get drunk the night before Sam arrives in a weird place called "the city" (maybe in caps, he's not sure yet) and his phone goes all batshit.]

Uh. And you are?

Action forever;

[iwatchtjhooker]

[Sam stands there, a slightly mulish expression on his face.]

Seriously, Dean? I can't--no, I can totally believe it, this is so you.

[synanthrope]

Lose isn't the word I would use.

Re: Action Sorry notifs suck

[dude-imbatman.livejournal.com]

[Dean's just going to gape for a second. It's been a long time since he's seen Sam and it hurts. When he finally says something, his voice cracks a little.][And now he's just going to hug his giant brother. It's just too much. He can't even argue with him. Not right now. Maybe in a second.]

[iwatchtjhooker]

So... what is?

[synanthrope]

Not many cars come through.

they suck for everyone, it's cool

[iwatchtjhooker]

[Also, Dean's so touchy-feely, Sam thinks. Well. When he's not being stand-offish and refusing to talk about anything. It's always all or nothing with him, and it pisses Sam off. And whenever he's called on it, either way, Dean protests ignorance. It's always 'we're not gonna talk about our feelings like little girls' until Dean wants to talk. Sam loves him, he does, but seriously.]

Dude.

[He hugs him back, because he's Sam, and Dean's Dean, but he's not nearly as enthused.]

What happened to just answering your phone?
