[ When Dean lands in the lobby, he's initially impressed. He gives the little flicker of a grin as he looks around, because damn, talk about fancy. Nice digs. Except ... the part where he teleported into them. His gaze narrows a bit as he starts to look around, going for his gun. It takes a minute, but he puts it together. Or ... he thinks he

[So Max is wandering by and finds Dean standing in the lobby. She holds off for a bit because she figures that Sam will be along shortly to collect his wayward brother, but when after ten minutes Sam doesn't show ...

... well, if she's not going to get trampled by the moose -- ]

Uh. Gabriel didn't do this. I can explain, but you're gonna want a drink.

[ ... they can do introductions later.]

[huntersdaughter]

[Do you know what is really close to the lobby? THE LUX. Do you know who works in the Lux? JO. Do you know that when Dean BELLOWS it also echoes, because the lobby has amazing acoustics.

So this is Jo, confused and slightly curious if the castle did this to them... again. She'll be wandering out, with the tray of drinks that she was supposed to bring to table ten. Yeah... it does sort of look like someone sent Jo to Dean with a tray of beers. It'd almost be dream-like, if only she was in a dress. NOPE. Not gonna happen.]

Dean?

[obiwanning]

[ As Max approaches, Dean sizes her up. Well, shit. Not that Gabe's got a history of having bad choice in women, but hell. He raises an eyebrow, then hears his name said and glances over to -- oh, hello hot blonde with beer. klajeg oh my god it's like his dreams are coming true. He responds before his brain processes that it's Jo. ]

You sure about that? 'Cause, sweetheart, all we need now's a redhead, and I'm -- [ But, he finally really looks at Jo and realizes oh god it's Jo. Oh god he feels dirty and wrong. Fuck you, Gabriel. Just ... fuck you. This just went from fantasy to watching Luke and Leia kiss. And his face shows it. ] Wait a minute. Jo? The hell are you doing here?

[whatialways_do]

[Oh, yeah. That's definitely Dean. She smirks a bit, before glancing over at Jo]

Do you want to break the news to him, or should I? Cuz I'm pretty sure he's gonna want something stronger than a beer.

[Hey, Spike's in the lobby because he never says hello to new people, he hates playing tour guide. So instead, he'll just look kinda amused about the gun thing.]

What exactly are you planning on shooting, mate?

[obiwanning]

Short guy. Big nose, kinda looks like a sleazy car salesman?

[breakmychest]

Doesn't ring a bell. What'd he do to you?

[obiwanning]

You tell me. [ He gestures around the lobby with his gun to indicate ... this whole crazy shit. ]

dictated

[batfail]

[That's loud, ow. Be considerate. Some people sleep in super late, okay.]

Daddy issues right off the bat, that's new.

[obiwanning]

[ Dean looks around briefly because WHAT THE HELL DISEMBODIED VOICE. ] The hell is -- [ Journal. Picking it up now. Gruffly, disbelievingly; ] ... Hello?

[batfail]

[Oh. She said that aloud.]

Hi. Suddenly find yourself in a castle, I'm guessing?

[obiwanning]

With a talking book to boot. Gotta say, this one's going pretty high up there on the list of weird crap I've seen. So, what the hell are you supposed to be? [ Yes, he thinks Stephanie is the journal. ]

[formersocialite]

[Vivian is on her way back to her room when she hears a lot of shouting from the lobby. A lot of angry shouting at that. Her initial thought was that someone had just arrived and wasn't taking the whole being stuck in a castle thing so well.

Not that she blamed them as she felt that way sometimes.

She steps into the lobby to investigate and her eyes fall upon the source of all the shouting. A man with a gun. This could get bad really fast.]

Shouting won't do you any good.

[It was said calmly.]

[obiwanning]

What the -- Bela?

[formersocialite]

[Oh, wonderful...]

Not quite.

[obiwanning]

Demon riding Bela's skin it is, then. [ Annoyed huff. ] Of all the times for that kid to go AWOL. Dammit, Sam.

[painhumbles]

Ohhh the sound of blame. It's like music to my friggin' ears. Too bad I've heard this song way too many times. Are you stuck in a revolving door with a brick or what, Winchester?

[obiwanning]

And I buy that because you've got such a long track record of not turning our lives into a living hell, and being so helpful and harmless.

[painhumbles]

Believe me, bucko. If this was me? You'd know.

[obiwanning]

Well, here's your sign. 'Cause, I know.
