I've tried everything. Every trick to see if I'm dreaming, stoned or whatever -- Either I've finally gone out of my mind, or I'm not in Kansas City anymore.

[ He huffs a laugh, pressing a wad of white something as a makeshift bandage against his palm and it's quickly staining red. This certainly wouldn't have been the first time Castiel has woken up

Kansas City is a long way from here, I'm afraid. Welcome to Anatole.

[A brief pause as he studies the screen.]

You should probably get that looked at.

[He's also pretty sure being high wouldn't even begin to explain this place.]

[Video]

[buryindecadence]

[He laughs.] So I hear.

It's good though; I heard there's a free clinic somewhere.

So where's Anatole? I'm... kinda in a hurry to get back.

[Video]

[threedoctorates]

There is. I've been there more then once.

No one seems to be quite sure. The Door brings you here and as far as I've surmised, there's no way to return home. I've been here over nine months myself.

[buryindecadence]

[Nine months?! Yeah, that's... not going to fly for him. It's the end of the world, he's not going to sit around in wannabe-London until the inevitable blast wave.]

That's the second time I've heard some door referred to with some significance. Care to go into a little detail regarding this thing?

[Video]

[threedoctorates]

It's what brings us here.

[Switches to Text]

This should give you some more information.

[Video]

[buryindecadence]

[Excuse him -- The most experience he's had with handheld devices was a cellphone. Hell, he didn't even bother with any texting features.]

How'd you--

[There's a longer pause as the ex-angel skims over the guide. The Forge's controls are somewhat intuitive, so he picks up on how to navigate his way through the guide fairly quickly.]

...Seriously?

[Video]

[threedoctorates]

Yes. It takes a little time to get used to it.

And even then, there are times when I'm still not used to the things that happen around here.

[Video]

[buryindecadence]

Am I even on earth anymore?

And what the hell do you mean by things?

[Video]

[threedoctorates]

You're certainly not in the United States. I've been all over the country and this place doesn't even remotely remind me of any of the places I've been to on a case.

Last month we were invaded by cannibalistic elves?

[Video]

[buryindecadence]

Cannibalistic elves.

[Maybe he was wrong about all this. Maybe this wasn't just some bizarre or unusual dream or alternate universe.

...Maybe he shouldn't mix alcohol with amphetamines after all.]

Okay, yeah. I'm definitely tripping my balls off.

[Video]

[threedoctorates]

[Tripping? He's heard that phrasing before.]

Oh, no, trust me, you're certainly not under the influence of drugs. Or, if you are, they certainly didn't help create this place.
