[staggers into the apartment, covered in blood & slime]

That is the last fucking time I go prancing off in the middle of the night.

[looks around, surprised that Fay isn't trying to lick the gunk off his boots]

Dean? Fay? ... Rose?

[disconnectedly]

Sam!

What happened?

[zombie_pen]

My dead ex-girlfriend showed up, kidnapped me, hid me in the sewers, & um, tried to bleed me to death when I was escaping.

[crooked smile]

Do I really look that bad?

[disconnectedly]

... No, not at all.

Nothing a hot shower won't fix, I'm sure.

[a smile]

You're not hurt too badly, right?

[zombie_pen]

Well, I've got this black eye... [gestures]

& then I have these... [shows his left arm, coated in slime & blood -- underneath lie four deep gashes still oozing blood]

[chipsandtea]

...

[zombie_pen]

...Rose? Is that you?

[can only see out of one eye -- left eye is swollen shut]

[chipsandtea]

*Tacklehugs*

's me, yeah.

[zombie_pen]

Oh you're going to get slimed...

[hugs her back regardless, wincing slightly as the gashes on his arm brush her back]

[amoralthief]

You look terrible.

[zombie_pen]

I see you're still as sweet as always.

[amoralthief]

Honesty is the best policy.

[zombie_pen]

Fair enough, I suppose.

[belligerency]

SAM.

Where the -- shit, man, you look like hell.

[zombie_pen]

Dean! Oh thank God you're here. You wouldn't believe what happened to me.

& um, thanks.

[belligerency]

Try me. What the hell happened? Where were you?

[zombie_pen]

Woke up in the middle of the night from a nightmare, & Jessica's sitting on the foot of the bed. Long story short, she kidnapped me, dragged my ass to the sewers, & drugged me to keep me there.

She sucks at tying knots, by the way. & seems to be dumber than I remember.

While I was trying to escape, she slugged me in the face, & tore open my arm. I shot her in the face with rock-salt, & she, um, died? I'm not even sure she was a ghost.
