Eeeee! It's awesome to just have this randomly pop up when I was least expecting it.
“It’s like the magic here is cold. Your monsters are all on TV.” Gah! Poor Dean, with no idea what to do. And: Jeff takes the money--it’s a matter of Dean’s pride. Yes. On both their sides: that it would matter to Dean, and that Jeff would accept it because it matters to Dean, not because he cares about the money.
I did a big old double take, seeing this here. wow!
“I tried ‘working.’ There’s nothing out there. I tried finding the patterns, tracking the trouble, but there wasn’t anything. I found some people, but no monsters. Nothing works. Not séances, not summoning. There’s nothing at your crossroads. Nothing in your pauper’s graveyards.” His voice sounds so lost. “It’s like the magic here is cold. Your monsters are all on TV.”
I loved that. Sent a chill through me, imagining what that must have felt like to Dean, finding it all gone.
I love that 'our' world isn't just different, it's utterly devoid of magic. Dean's list is creepy and also a little sad, because if there are no ghosts there are also no fairies, no mermaids, no angels.
Lovely stuff, i love Jeff *wanting* but trying not to, and Dean needing him as a point of stability and familiarity in his so-uncertain world.
