16: [Action] Separate Ways

Jan 12, 2011 23:00

An extremely heavy, loud bass-beat is thumping down the hallways and spewing out of the library.

Dean has acquired a boombox.

He's also legitimately doing research, for once in his life, plucking books here and there and stacking them in a rather haphazard fashion on the nearest table, all the while singing along to Separate Ways by one of the ( Read more... )

pent-up energy, dean winchester is cocky, c: rogue, c: finn, c: tim, you can't say that this isn't hot, c: mark meltzer, break those chains that bind you, c: philip, denial, the smooth operator, fuckin' research, everyone has more sex than me, c: naoto, someday love will find you, c: chev

[ Guess who comes striding around the corner, book under his arm, muttering unhappily to himself. ]

You have got to be kidding me.

[ If you guessed 'the guy who doesn't want to deal with this shit because he already has a permanent headache on account of THE FUCKING DEMON ALIEN VIRUS THING LIVING IN HIS BODY' then you get the full score. Congratulations! ]

Excuse me, could you please turn that off?

[ The words are there, but his tone is distinctly lacking any form of politeness. ]

[Dean glances up, raising an eyebrow. Oh Jesus, not another one. These assholes have no lives. That, and the way this guy is speaking is just...it reminds him too much of his brother, and he can't help but push back.]

Sure, dude.

[...which is why Dean leans over to the CD-player, turns the volume up higher, and flashes another grin before returning to his book in his lap, tapping his fingers along with the beat.]

[ My God, it's been so long since Brit!Sam Philip had the opportunity to enjoy condescending!professor times, he's almost out of practice. Almost. ]

Wow. That is just... incredibly mature, really.

dashboardlite January 14 2011, 06:12:53 UTC

[Cue the eyeroll. Dean turns down the volume enough for a normal tone of voice to be heard, and states matter-of-factly:]

All work and no play makes- ...what's your name, again?

sadfreezingbrit January 14 2011, 06:21:37 UTC

All work and no play gets work done.

[ Crossed arms. Glare at boombox. ]

dashboardlite January 14 2011, 06:37:21 UTC

[Chuckle. Oh, you're funny. He likes you.]

Answer the question. If you don't, you're just gonna be "Limey Fruitcake" in my book.

sadfreezingbrit January 14 2011, 07:00:22 UTC

[ More glare. Not a sentiment Philip shares, apparently. ]

{ See? Now I feel bad I never thought of that. Never even thought of thinking of that! Guess it didn't occur to me to look for something other than monkey. }

[ ...Not Philip himself, at least. Cue moment of grudging silence before he finally forks over the requested information. ]

...Philip.

[ Did he pass? Will there be rewarding silence now? ]

dashboardlite January 14 2011, 07:21:27 UTC

That was easy. [Dean nods with a faint, vaguely-satisfied smile.]

All work and no play makes Philip a dull boy. [He amends with a small amount of smugness.] Are you always this grumpy, dude?

sadfreezingbrit January 14 2011, 07:31:13 UTC

[ No comment on how he can't believe you actually finished that sentence. GAWD. ]

When the occasion calls for it. [ Deadpan. OH AND STILL GLARE. ] Are you going to turn that off now?

dashboardlite January 14 2011, 14:00:07 UTC

I dunno, are you gonna pull that stick outta your ass, Philip?

More complementary eyebrow goodness at your service sadfreezingbrit January 14 2011, 17:28:22 UTC

{ Ha. Fat chance. }

Why? Does my stick impede your "research"?

[ He doesn't actually do the airquote thing, but with that tone of voice he might as well have.

He also tries to take a peek at Dean's book selection, anticipating the subject to be nothing short of utterly ridiculous. ]

MY FAVORITE. *rolls happily* dashboardlite January 14 2011, 17:39:29 UTC

Nah, but it's messin' with my groove.

[Dean quips, laughing. Oh man, he is just like Sam. This is beautiful.

He snaps his book shut, tossing it to one side and grabbing another. The only possibilities he has on The Operator right now relate to lore about pagan gods, but Dean really can't remember anything about tons of noodly arms.

He does notice, however, that his new pal Phil appears interested in what he's doing, if only vaguely. Dean raises an eyebrow at him.]

...you wanna help? It's for the welfare of mankind. Consider it your civic duty.

sadfreezingbrit January 14 2011, 18:14:31 UTC

[ Crap. Dean's got him now. ]

The welfare of mankind.

[ If that's true then it would give him huge bonus in the 'I'm not actually a massive dick who uses people for ritual sacrifices' sector, but so far he sounds suspicious.

That guy and the welfare of mankind? He finds that hard to believe. ]

dashboardlite January 14 2011, 18:23:16 UTC

Your skepticism aside, Phil, where I come from we have demons. And other stuff. I kill 'em for a living.

[Oh-so nonchalant. By now, Dean really doesn't bother explaining too much to people unless they ask, because it's a hassle.]

Saving people, hunting things. [He shrugs.] The family business.

sadfreezingbrit January 14 2011, 18:58:37 UTC

[ Now there's a sudden change of heart. Philip's posture loses the tensity of RIGHTEOUS LIBRARY PATRON OUTRAGE (TM). His glare is abandoned and his look is no longer angry or even sceptical, but hopeful... and maybe just a little bit awestruck. ]

You--

[ He drops the book he was holding, flinches and hurriedly scrambles to pick it up and focus on Dean again. ]

Are you-- Are you serious?

{ Don't be ridiculous, monkey. Just look at the guy! What do you think he can do, exorcise evil with the power of godawful 80s rock?

You know I'm all for you makin' more monkey friends so I can watch you screw things up royally, just don't get your hopes up thinkin' he or any of you could stand the lick of a chance against me. }

dashboardlite January 14 2011, 22:14:39 UTC

[Oh, now he shakes a leg. For a minute there Dean thought he was going to have to bribe the guy with his best whiskey.]

Yeeeeah.

[Dean replies slowly, furrowing his brow. What the Hell is wrong with Philip? Aside from the obvious.]

Why? You know anything, dude? 'Cause if you got information on the tentacular-spectacular freak-show wonder living in the creepy woods outside the house, I'd be grateful.
