Phone Call ☏ [Closed to The Hunter Bar in Chicago]

[littledhampir]

[Whoever should be unfortunate enough to answer Rose's call will be subjected to this lovely greeting.]

I'm looking for Dean Winchester. [A beat.] He's probably there, just look for the guy wearing flannel with six empty beer bottles in front of him.

Comments

[principal]

[ a wis check of 15+ might help her recognize robin's voice from her last visit. ] Sounds like more than a lucky guess to me. Friend of yours?

[littledhampir]

[No idea who she's talking to ;; (Wisdom 5).] Yeah I wouldn't go that far.

We... Worked together on a... project a while back. [IDEK why she's trying to be vague she's about as transparent as cling wrap. (Great big fat crit fail on the bluff).]

[principal]

A "project". Riight. [ uh huh, he knows what kind of "projects" the regulars get up to at THE HUNTER BAR ] Who should I tell him is calling?

[littledhampir]

[Of course now she gets a good Wisdom Check (Wisdom 18).]

Just... tell him it's Lila. [(Bluff 25). She just wants to get him to the phone okay. She's not entirely convinced he'll do that for her.] If he tries to get you to say he's not there, tell him there's money in it for him.

[principal]

Lila, right. [ HE DOESN'T SOUND CONVINCED OF THAT EITHER but also... doesn't care. she hears a muffled: "Hey, Winchester! Got a girl on the line for you. Sounds like a job. Says you worked a case for her before, or with her. Name's Lila." ]

[littledhampir]

[Rose is just going to wait for Dean to pick up and seeing as we've established that she automatically crit fails anything remotely diplo with him, she comes out with this gem.]

Don't hang up. [Ominous much.] I swear to god if you do I will fly to Chicago and shoot you in the face. [Archer you're such an influence.

And in case it wasn't already painfully obvious.] It's Rose, by the way.

[likedillinger]

That name supposed to mean something to me? [ look rose, there have been a lot of beers between then and now, and it's not like he expected to ever hear from you again. ]

[littledhampir]

[Do not be offended that he didn't find you memorable you ass.]

Corsone. Dead bodies. Brains missing. [She waits a moment.] Ringing any bells?

[likedillinger]

[ sjaklfaj sudden nat 20 wisdom check wow dean ] That Rose? The hell do you want?

[littledhampir]

[That Rose... She may hear that so often she does in fact answer to it :| ] Glad we got that out of the way.

[Because yeah that's what normal people call greetings you two.]

What are you doing? [LMMFAO ;; (Wisdom - Crit Fail).] Other than ordering your next beer?

[likedillinger]

Having a conversation I'm not sure I wanna be having yet.

Why?

[littledhampir]

So we're even on that score at least.

[Dear Wynn. Why did you think Rose would be a good person to send in? Love Brooke.]

Depends. What do you know about tracking Doppelgangers?

[likedillinger]

You have a doppelganger problem?

[littledhampir]

[A beat.] What's the plural of Doppelganger?

[likedillinger]

Did you break a bunch of mirrors as a kid or something, but that is some seriously bad juju.

[littledhampir]

[...] Beginning think so, trust me... Can you help?

[likedillinger]

So long as this doesn't end with my mug making another appearance on America's Most Wanted, then maybe, yeah.

Where's the case?

[littledhampir]

He seems to like my face better for that. [So. Much. Bitterness.] If I have any say in things he won't be alive long enough to try again.

[Things Wynn may not have told her to say...]

London. Ish. [A beat.] If you can get yourself to an airport the people I work with can hook you up with flights, somewhere to stay.

[likedillinger]

Waitaminute. Did you say London?

[littledhampir]

No you've just gone conveniently deaf. [ :| ] London. England. Home of... [Knowledge... 6] English people.

[likedillinger]

Hopefully for you, one of those English people is a hunter then, because I do not work... internationally.

[littledhampir]

[It was all fun and games until he actually said that.]

Yeah I - No. [Because apparently Rose thinks that's going to work.] You can't say no okay?! In the last few hours I have had my face stolen, my mentor murdered, my brain raped... twice so they could try and get me to kill myself. I just saw a bunch of people walk to their deaths and one of the only friends I have in this world - my best friend...

[Nope. That's enough to win Rose the 'My day sucks more than yours' award she can't even begin to get started on Elena.]

I don't care if you don't work internationally. You do now.

[She was going for aggressive but it actually sounded a little more desperate than she would have liked.]

[likedillinger]

[ well... shit. ]



You're already dealing with all that, I'm not really sure I'm the one you want as your go-to guy. You're not the only one who's busted their share of mirrors.

[littledhampir]

My day really can't get much worse. [She sighs.] I need your help. [She pauses a moment then continues.] My boss asked me to get in contact with you but - I - need your help.

[If you make her repeat that Dean, she will punch you in the face for good measure next time she sees you.]

[likedillinger]

[ GOD FUCKING DAMMIT he can't... say no to that.

ugh so reluctant: ] ... Any chance that boss of yours'll spring for a boat?

[littledhampir]

Any chance you're... actually joking?

[No but really she's totally not clicked that he's scared of flying because Wisdom 7... Sleep Deprivation IDEK.]

I mean, if you don't like regular flights we have a jet? I could talk to Wynn about us coming through Chicago. We're in New York right now.

[likedillinger]

... [ mumbled ] I ain't... big on flying.

1/2 Prolly just 2

[littledhampir]

I lied 2/3

[littledhampir]

Oh...

Ok done, sorry Dean <3

[littledhampir]

[Look she's trying okay because, he was maybe not an ass when she word-vomited heavy stuff on him.]

Really?! I just - you're a Hunter.

[likedillinger]

Last I checked, the two were mutually exclusive.

[littledhampir]

Yeah but... I've seen you take on a Minotaur like it was no big deal but you're... scared of flying?

[She at least earns a gold star for not laughing.

Out loud.]

[likedillinger]

I didn't say scared.

[littledhampir]

[She crit failed her Will Save to not keep going. The die ship Boozy Dhampir okay.]

Isn't that kind of the same as not being... big on flying?

[likedillinger]

Preferring to keep both feet on the ground the way nature freaking intended isn't the same as being scared.

[littledhampir]

[Phew. (WS 19). No more poking the bear. The big, cuddly, scaredy bear.]

Okay then. [At least she's not the only one with issues.

Maybe she shouldn't point out that a boat isn't really on the ground either... Then again, this is Rose she probably hadn't thought about that.]

Yeah I... I'm thinking by the time you get there by boat there'll be, ya know... No hope of tracking them.

[likedillinger]

Yeah, figures. [ SIGH ] Can we at least get my ride shipped overseas? If I've gotta drive ass-backward on the road I wanna at least do it in something I feel at home in.

[littledhampir]

[...]

This is another one of those things where, I think you're joking and you're really not, huh.

[She's learning to speak Dean.]

I'll see what they can do. If need be I'll... handle it myself.

[Yeah Rose just never spends her money pretty much. At least she's stopped stuffing it into shoeboxes under her bed.]

[likedillinger]

Someone you can trust to bring her over. My baby gets dropped in the drink and you're gonna be digging yourself out of your doppelgang-bang over there.

[littledhampir]

[Oh. Wow. Such an unfortunate choice of words on so many hideous levels there Dean.]

I'll take care of it. [You were so going to get a heartfelt thank you which, ftr, never happens with Rose but then you had to go and be the funny guy.]

Did you want me to see about us stopping over in Chicago to pick you up?

[likedillinger]

Might as well. I can meet you at O'Hare.

How'm I supposed to get my other goodies overseas? [ doppelhunting goodies. ]

[littledhampir]

Yeah... Welcome to the Karthur Institute. I'll send you directions to the air strip we'll be landing at and just bring whatever you need with you. It won't be an issue.

[likedillinger]

Yeah, whatever, MI-6. I'll be there.

[littledhampir]

[Wow apparently we finally hit on something Rose had heard of. (Knowledge 16).]

We have better weapons. [And enough time has passed since the (accidentally) worst joke ever for Rose to add.] And Dean... Thanks.

[likedillinger]

Don't mention it.
