[Dee has a look of quiet contemplation on her face as she turns on the Pokegear, but her trademark smile is back soon enough.]

Things have been a bit slow-going for me; turns out I twisted my ankle a bit last time. You know, I can't really say I like pain that much. Still, at least Ronmeer has been helping.

[The screen turns around, showing that she's sitting down against a tree. As it focuses on her ankle, a Magikarp just stares at the screen. Endlessly. Without blinking. Into your soul. Oh, and it's just kind of laying on her ankle.]

He makes a handy ice pack. Are all Magikarp supposed to be this cold?

[The screen turns away from the soul-staring devil fish (who may or may not be in a coma) and back to Dee.]

I think I'm getting close to the next town, so that's a plus! It'll be great to have a bed again. I wonder if this is what Heather was thinking about before?

((ooc: This is my excuse and I'm stickin' to it.))

Then you don't trust me. That narrows the field.

[video]

[oldestfriend.livejournal.com]

I do, actually.

I'm just having fun. I don't get a chance to, most of the time.

[video]

[conscionably.livejournal.com]

[Just this face.]

Then this is all for your entertainment. [Half a question, half a statement.]

[video]

[oldestfriend.livejournal.com]

Have you ever thought about smiling more?

Tell you what: if you smile, I'll tell you who I am.

[video] 1/2

[conscionably.livejournal.com]

[What even.]

[video] 2/3, I lied

[conscionably.livejournal.com]

[Just. Trying to process that logic.]

[video]

[conscionably.livejournal.com]

[Have an extremely brief and extremely awkward smile.

What even are you.]

[video] can't... stop... giggling.

[oldestfriend.livejournal.com]

I'm Death. <sub>[Oh hey that was quick.

And apparently not important, because-]</sub>

But see, you looked approachable for, what was that, two seconds? It's really handy, try practicing that more. People like smiles!

[video] ngl, I actually lol'd when she told him to smile

[conscionably.livejournal.com]

Death. [Have a stare. 'sup, Cas has seen reapers, but he's assuming you're more than 'just a reaper', and possibly more along the lines of 'the four horseman, Death'. Particularly as he hasn't met you yet. This is totally more important than him looking approachable, so he's just going to frown at that comment, and then completely ignore it.]

You're more than just a reaper, aren't you? Lucifer's using the Four Horsemen, Death included--. [Pause. Because actually, that's slightly less important than--] How can Death be trapped?

[video] They're going to be ~*best friends*~, you can tell.

[oldestfriend.livejournal.com]

It is a bit of a strange thing, and I'm pretty curious myself as to how they called me to this place. Of course, it's not impossible; just very hard to do.

_{[Like when they trapped her brother. Stupid, stubborn Dream, who never went to her for help.]}

Still, I wouldn't say I'm trapped. That would mean I'd have no way of getting out.

But still, ah, the Horsemen! I know the ones you're speaking of. How are they doing?

[video] oh, ttly

[conscionably.livejournal.com]

[Lineface.] They're under the control of Lucifer. War has been stopped, as has Famine. Famine was weakened after meeting the Winchesters. I wouldn't know about Pestilence [...]. If the Winchesters' luck continues, I believe his fate will be much the same.

[video]

[oldestfriend.livejournal.com]

Winchesters... Dean and Sam. _{[Smile smile smile. You couldn't stop her from doing it if you tried, Cas.]} Stubborn boys.

A shame about those three. I imagine they're so disappointed. My youngest sister was so fond of War, too, or at least what he could do. Famine made my sister-brother laugh... Although that's really not a good thing.

But things end. _{[She shrugs.]} That's how it is. _{[Despite her previous words, she doesn't seem particularly worried for the Horsemen.]}

[video]

[conscionably.livejournal.com]

Yes.

Eventually. But you know as well as I do that whatever the fate of the Four Horsemen is, it's not that simple. As for the Apocalypse; if it can be started, it can be stopped. Fate isn't quite as ...rigid as some might say. [He might be trying to convince himself more than simply having a conversation.]

[video]

[oldestfriend.livejournal.com]

It's amazing how simple things become if you stare at them from a far enough distance.

_{[The comment about fate has her smirking, but she doesn't say anything.]} This conversation is becoming depressing. What adorable and-slash-or horrifying bite-sized animal companion do you have with you?

[video]

[conscionably.livejournal.com]

An "Igglybuff".

[video]

[oldestfriend.livejournal.com]

_{[Cue the rustling as she digs through her pack to find her Pokedex. One minute of listening to the robot voice later...]}

...I think it's a great fit. Girls are going to love you.

[video]

[conscionably.livejournal.com]

I'm not--. I don't think that's the point.

[video]

[oldestfriend.livejournal.com]

The point is you need to smile more.

Although I am serious. Without powers here, other people will be important. Your adorable ball of fluff is important too, so treat her, or him, right.

[video]

[conscionably.livejournal.com]

[Sigh :c Yes, he's already discovered that the lack of teleporting? Means he has to have actual conversations that don't just end with him buggering off somewhere. It's all very awkward. He doesn't really get what smiling has to do with anything though; no-one's mentioned his lack-of-smiling before.

His expression may or may not give away some of these thoughts.]

[oldestfriend.livejournal.com]

_{[Oh, Cas. Silly angel.]}

...Need help with this 'being human' business?

[video]

[conscionably.livejournal.com]

[No. Maybe. Yes.]

There's a lot I'm still [...] unaware of. [It's mostly the 'emotions' thing, really.]

[video]

[oldestfriend.livejournal.com]

Then shoot. I have a bit more experience with this than you do.

[video]

[conscionably.livejournal.com]

...Another time.

[video]

[oldestfriend.livejournal.com]

Ever gone hiking, Cas?

[video]

[conscionably.livejournal.com]

[Frown.] No.
