@cuttingedge; A swamp warning [OPEN AUDIO] late on March 12th

[knifecollecting]

[It starts with Jo clearing her throat. Somehow even that sounds tired and dejected.]

I went with a group I trust, looking for Dr. Solis' lab. We headed toward the mountains past the scrapyard and found a swamp instead. [She pauses here, searching for words to explain the seriousness of the situation.]

I don't know how far out it is because we were gone for days but it didn't feel like that. [An edge creeps into her voice and she lets out an annoyed huff of air.]

Whoever you see in there, you can't save them. Two of the group tried, and they were ready for a fight right up until they just gave up and sank. We had a rope. We couldn't pull them out.

[There's a shaky sound, almost a stifled sob. Don't comment on it. She'll deny it. She doesn't know what made them stop, but she knows Castiel went in ready for a fight.]

If you had any business with Dean Winchester, you can talk to me until he's back. [There's a rustling of fabric as she moves to end the call, but pauses.]

Castiel too.

Sorry to hear that about Castiel (and Dean I suppose, though I didn't know him nearly as well).

It sounds like the same sort of luck my group met with when we went in search of the medical center. Was it the swamp itself or a spirit?

I've been keeping a rough map on paper. If you're feeling up to it, I'd like to get more details about the route you took.

i didn't see anything but i was distracted

the spirit with the masks?

[dadandgone]

Yeah...that one.

[knifecollecting]

like i said, i didn't see anything.

i can try to help with your map.

[dadandgone]

It would be appreciated. I've been keeping a paper copy as up to date as possible instead of always relying on the digital version on the tablet. I can make notes for myself for one.

nothing wrong with paper, but why do you do it?
