Hey. My name is Sam and I've been here for about a month now. [ Give or take a few days. ]

So, it's been requested of me and my brother Dean to help out a little where we can, using the skills we have. [ Not a problem there. But here's where it gets a little dicey ... it's no secret that he and Dean hunt the supernatural, but it doesn't exactly bring him great comfort having to publicly out themselves, especially given some of their experiences with the FBI in the past. Thing is, if it gains them a little credit to their offer, Sam sees no other choice in this matter. And hey, maybe they won't have to go undercover as agents and health inspectors anymore.

Here goes: ] I'd say we're both pretty experienced in combat and defence. Back home we're hunters so dealing with spirits like this is kind of our M.O. Haven't really figured out what manner of spirit this is yet, but Rastus thought it wouldn't do anyone harm to learn a little defence training, so we're opening that up to anyone interested in maybe getting a few tips from us.

Right now we wanna get a headcount for interest. More details to follow. If anyone's got any questions, we're here to answer them too.

Oh and one more thing: my brother and I are gonna be out of town for a few days if anyone's looking to see us in person. If all goes well, we'll be back soon.

Thanks for your time.

dude i thought we agreed on CAMP WINCHESTER

( when did they agree to this, dean. when.

regardless, the next messages are directed at the network at large: )

anyway no we're not ghostbusters but u can call us if somethin goes bump in the night

nobody should want to be a hunter but if u wanna learn we'll teach

( attached below is something dean scribbled up real fast on his tablet, which will eventually make its way around town in the form of poorly written flyers, like so: )

There is already defense training twice a week. Multiple teachers. Can combine with those if you have different things to teach

[Soldat isn't sure if they're confused that these two people didn't see the notices on the bulletin about Javert's classes, offended that these two people did see them and thought they weren't enough, or curious if these two people did see them and thought they weren't enough because they have something different to teach.]

[necromantiae]

spirits the only thing you hunt? seems like a pretty small market.

( aka do you hunt other supernatural things, boys? )

@lonk; voice

[sublimebeast]

What kinda weapons do you guys use?

[cained]

it'd be easier to ask us what we don't hunt and use your imagination
but warlocks ain't off the table if that's what u really mean

( at least, assuming the username is as on the nose as dean thinks it is. )

[necromantiae]

i'd just like to make sure i'm not going to be unfairly targeted if i do decide to take your little class.

i've been a teacher's pet before but i've never been the opposite. whatever that might be called.

[cained]

alright i'll make it real simple for u then
don't kill anyone and we'll be square

( he's still not a fan of witches or warlocks or whatever the hell they want to call themselves, but he's known rowena long enough now he can at least tolerate them. )

but if u wanna talk magic or w/e that's more up sam's alley

[necromantiae]

see, that's such a broad statement. what if they're trying to kill me? do i get to kill them, in that situation?

( he might be fucking with you, dean. just because. )

[cained]

( ambrose pls. he's old and tired. )

well ain't that a pickle
it's almost like there's a difference between murder and self-defense
if u can't tell the difference u might not wanna be cozying up to hunters

@missprincessmary, audio

[withsadness]

Will there be s'mores? Camps are supposed to have those!

[In which case, count her in.]

[cained]

( holy hell how old is this child. )

Uh. ( how to let her down... ) This ain't that kinda camp, kid.

( though a s'more does sound really good. damn. )

[withsadness]

Oh.

[That's incredibly disappointing. Snacks are always a top priority.]

Well, I still want to know when a rock becomes a classic. Is it because of a special shape?

[helled]

Hey Soldier, sorry about that. We're not trying to step on anyone's toes or anything.

We just figured we'd put it out there that there are a couple of things we could probably share with whoever was interested. In my experience, there aren't a hell of a lot of hunters out there in numbers and less with the kind of knowledge we've picked up over the years.

[ And the Winchester brothers have a ... (completely one-sided) complicated relationship where Rastus is concerned, where they're grateful for the items procured to them, but still unsure whether Rastus might mean them harm in the long-run. Kind of run of the mill Winchester stuff, really. ]

My brother ... came up with the name.

[helled]

I don't think we did, Dean.

[ It makes him feel a little uncomfortable, the formality of it all, but he kind of likes the poster.

You know, secretly. ]

audio;

[helled]

Hi — uh, Lonk.

Depends on what we're hunting. Blades and guns mostly, though; they seem to be pretty handy in a majority of situations.

audio;

[sublimebeast]

[Ugh, this username will end him.]

It's Link.

I hit a wrong button when I got here and something happened.

[helled]

Come on, Dean. Go easy on them.

The point does stand though. No one's going to be targeted and no one training with us is going to be in danger of being killed so long as we all agree to civil.

[ Step out of line, however, and hey — Sam's still a hunter. So. ]

[worthallthis]

[Soldat, completely unaware of any weirdness with Rastus, currently has no idea there's any reason behind this but a suggestion and two people just deciding to help out. It just seems... silly.

And also a little rude, sure, but eh.]

Yes that's great. We should definitely help each other. Just seems inefficient to have two different sets of defense classes. We could all learn from each other

[Pause. Question:]

What is the difference between a hunter and anyone else who kills

[He'd said in another message they mostly use guns and blades. Sounds familiar enough.]

[necromantiae]

( sorry dean, it's been a long few weeks, he needs a little fun. )

right right, i had my vocabulary mixed up. thanks for setting me straight.

so neither of you are magical but you know magic?

[cained]

( damn, it was worth a shot. )

fine but at least admit it's a good name
i don't wanna do this anymore than u do but there ain't no sense in making it boring

[cained]

something like that

sam's practically witchypoo's little apprentice, it's just fucking adorable

( but how rowena came to be one of their closest allies is a long and, frankly, very complicated story, so he won't get into it. )

[necromantiae]

so, he's got some magical ability? do i have some competition now? oh no, i might have to practice.

( wouldn't want to lose his spot as cutest magic user. )

Text @ SuprNerd

[moderatelymaladjusted]

Alright, Ledzeppelin. Are there's any guns in that arsenal and would you know how to teach someone how to use it? When you mention lore, is it information about this place?

Why plaid?

Why ghost hunting? There are no ghosts here.

[cained]

u picked that username urself huh

( he just calls 'em as he sees 'em. )

no i hunt with my fists
of course there are guns
if u got hands u can learn to shoot

we don't know anymore about the lore of this place than you do so no, mostly we deal in supernatural lore
there ain't ghosts YET

hunters wear plaid just think of it like a camp uniform

( DON'T QUESTION IT. )

I'm assuming you'll leave out wardings regarding certain celestial beings. For hopefully obvious reasons.
