So, uh. It's come to my attention that whenever events roll around, everybody's usually running through the halls like chickens with their friggin' heads cut off. So today we're gonna fix that, 'cause this is what I do for a living.

[ A solemn voice, undeniably interested. ] Does this stuff work here? Or just where you come from?

[ Because if it works here, even a little of it, then he is signing up for this class with the speed of a smashing rock. ]

It all seems to work here so far, yeah. Unless the lore's different. But the methods change when lore changes, so it's easy to adapt.

[audio] What delightful service. Do you charge for salt? 40410 October 10 2011, 02:56:31 UTC
[ That sounds almost too good to be true. And this guy is a total stranger. And yet Alex really wants to trust him in this. Someone who can teach him to fight back? ]

So you've fought stuff here. Monsters.

[ It occurs to him that maybe 'I fight monsters for a living' should be a wild claim - but after more than a year in Wonderland, it's the most reasonable thing in the world. ]

Yeah. You want a résumé, or somethin'?

[Because buddy, he can tell you some stories.]

[ "I want to know this stuff works, because I want to use it." Man, why does everything he might say feel like he'd be saying too much? ]

I want to know I'm learning stuff that's been tested here. There're monsters from all over, I don't want to use something in the middle of a - an event and find out it doesn't work.

[ If he has a chance to check, it only makes sense to! ]

[audio] Ahhhthank you, thank you very much. dashboardlite October 10 2011, 03:44:26 UTC
Look, dude. You gotta be ready for everything. Where I'm from, vampires have a mouthful of teeth and won't die unless you cut their heads off. Almost everywhere else it's wooden stakes and garlic and Bela Lugosi voices.

[A beat.]

Or those douchebags that sparkle.

Right.

[ Right, that does make sense.

Wait. ]

...Oh god, don't tell me those are here as well.

[ DON'T MAKE HIS LIFE ANY MORE RIDICULOUS. ]

[A groan.]

I know, right? It was only a couple, but that was a few events back when everyone turned into every kind of vampire. The mansion oughta stick to the basics now.

[ Sparkling vampires would just be too ridiculous, even for this place. Alex and Amy once rented out one of those movies and laughed and laughed. He's seen a lot of weird shit here, but some things he just can't imagine in the real world and take them seriously.

He's surprised to find that thinking of Amy doesn't make him want to lock himself in the closet and gouge his own heart out. It's just saddening; an ordinary, hollow kind of saddening.

He's surprised to realise that that's the first time he's thought of her in a while.

All this thinking, on the outside, only takes a moment. ]

I stayed human for that, [ he says with a small amount of relief. Alex counts himself lucky there, even if it did mean half the mansion was drooling over his papercuts. ]

I know the obvious stuff didn't work on all of them. There aren't any vampires where I come from, so I went off legends. [ With Tim van Helsing and his hat. Oh god, the hat. ]

Same here. But a friend of mine got a little bitey, and desperate times called for desperate measures.

[Not that he cut off Philip's head, or anything. Just wounded him a little.]

One thing the suckers can't stand? Dead man's blood. If they get that in their system, it paralyzes 'em. Just for future reference.

[ Alex didn't mean that he killed anyone, so probably Dean didn't mean that either. That's not what he meant, right? ]

Blood from a dead guy? [ Getting that would... so not be the worst thing he's ever done, so it doesn't faze him. ] What kinda vampires is that for?

[ Since he doesn't remember that from Nosferatu. And yes, he's totally writing this down. ]

The ones from my universe. They've got retractable fangs that push out over their human teeth, and it's not just two - I mean it when I saw it's a whole damn mouthful.

[Sexy vampires? What are those, anyway? There's nothing sexy about gargling blood while someone chews on your jugular.

...or is there?]

Werewolves aren't actually hairy, either, in case you were wondering.

[Dean chuckles.]

You've got a fun world.

You've got no idea, dude. Wouldn't trade it for anything, though.

[And honestly? He wouldn't. Even though it would mean a normal life, even though it would mean having a whole family instead of a broken one.

It wouldn't be the same.]

[ Alex didn't see that episode, but he does know a little about having people you wouldn't trade. Or he thought he did, anyway.

But apart from general spook-repelling lessons, he has a definite goal for this conversation. ]

What about ghosts? Spirits? What if there aren't any remains?

[ Not that he knows exactly what the 0perator is, but let's start with possible basics. ]

Genetic material. Anything they've left behind. Even if it's a lock of hair or a fingernail.
