1 [Accidental Video]

[dancewithedevil]

[Sam woke up to the sound of creaking in an old building and the steady drip-drip-drip of water hitting the ground right next to him. He jumped up from his spot on the floor, quickly drawing his knife and edging along the wall. Waking up in a strange, dark place was never a good thing. He needed to get out of here before whoever, or whatever,

Sam.

[Greatly mixed feelings here on Sam's arrival, but mostly he's just really missed his friend.]

Where are you?

[Video--Private]

[dancewithedevil]

Cas?
[Oh thank God. Maybe he wasn't losing his mind.]
I don't know. Some strange place, the buildings are falling apart. I one second I was talking with Dean at Bobby's and now...What's going on Cas?

I'll explain in a moment. Look on your device; there's a button that will send your coordinates to me. Press it and I will come find you.

[dancewithedevil]

Okay.
[It doesn't take him long to figure it out and push the button, but it's still weird getting instructions on technology from Castiel.]
What does it do?

[wingsandwill]

[Here, have an angel.]

As I said, it sends your coordinates to me so that I can find you.

[He really is glad to see Sam, even though he's now trying to figure out what's the best thing to do first. Probably figure out what Sam knows.]

What's the last thing you remember before arriving here?

[dancewithedevil]

[Even if he was expecting it, Cas materializing out of nowhere always made him jump a little.]

Jeez! [He sighs.] Hi Cas.

The last thing I remember was sitting in Bobby's garage with Dean and talking. Then I wake up here and Dean is nowhere to be found. What happened Cas?

[Castiel studies him for a moment, both from simply having not seen him for so long and because he's trying to pinpoint farther what time he's from. Whatever point it was, exactly, he seemed to have his soul and that was definitely a good thing.]

Hello, Sam.

We have been pulled into another dimension.

[dancewithedevil]

[The quiet plus the stare made him fidget just a little bit, but that was Cas for you. He wouldn't be the same if you could tell what he was thinking just by looking at him.]

I think that is one of the most straight-forward answers I've gotten so far.

[You and Dean both. Good job guys.]

Do you know how?
[So they could find a way back?]

[wingsandwill]

Being concise has many benefits.

[Besides he has no idea how to sugarcoat anything anyway, even if Sam would appreciate it, which he doubted. Not to mention that if he did so, it would take forever to explain everything that Sam needed to be told quickly.]

No. We're not entirely certain how we were brought here, and have yet to find a way to leave.

Sam, not only are beings here from different worlds, but from different times. There are many from our world who are from earlier points in time than we are.

[A brief pause, before he continues seriously.]

Lucifer is among them.

[dancewithedevil]

[Listening, nodding. Alright, it sucks but it all makes a sort of sense. As much as an alternate dimension can make.]

So these Animus, they-
[And his question dies in his throat. He stares at Castiel, a range of emotions washing over his face as he tries to process what he just said.]

You're saying the guy I risked my soul for, the guy I just got away from is here?

[wingsandwill]

[He knows it's an unpleasant shock, and he gives a nod in response to the question, but he fixes Sam with an intent look that is far more confident than he feels.]

Yes. But we've won once, Sam, and it can be done again.

[offline] Cas T_T Sam's gonna lose it.

[dancewithedevil]

[You know that kicked puppy look Sam is so good at? Yeah, well, that's the look he's giving you right now before slowly nodding.]

Yeah, alright.
[He takes a deep breath and lets it out.]
So are there any connections between our world and this one aside from the things that brought us here?

[offline] He'll understand T_T

[wingsandwill]

[Yes, he knows that look, but he only looks more certain in return. There's no way in Hell, Adstringendum, or anywhere else that he's letting Lucifer near Sam.

At the question, he tilts his head slightly.]

There doesn't seem to be in particular. However a great many from our world in particular have been brought here, so there may be one that I'm not aware of.

[dancewithedevil]

[And that is reassuring. It really is. Don't worry Cas, Sam will do his best to stay as far away from Lucifer as he needs to.]

Alright. If I find one I'll let you know.
[So no excuse to try and drag Lucifer back into his cage either.]
Who all is here?

[offline]

[wingsandwill]

[Indeed, there was no great pressing need in regards to the Apocalypse, but Lucifer was wearing through Nick. He would need a new vessel, and the best match had just arrived.

At the question, he rattles off a list.]

You and I, Dean, Jo, Anna, Gabriel, Lucifer, Raphael, and Michael.

[dancewithedevil]

[He doesn't even want to think about that, not right now. He was still wrapping his head around all this alternate dimension stuff.]

Alright. What do people do about living arrangements around here? I haven't seen any buildings so far fit to house people, let alone more than one.
