@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.

Private text, @ Soldier, late on 3/13

Are you okay

[Yes, Soldat just came back from dying a couple hours ago, found this, and is asking if she's okay. She doesn't know he died, right? She doesn't follow his patrol routes and whether he's on them, right? It's fine.]

i'm not hurt.

[Okay is debatable.]

[worthallthis]

[Uh huh. That's not what they asked. It's an answer to what they asked anyway, though. Nobody dodges like that if they're actually okay.]

Do you need anything

[knifecollecting]

[Jo has lost a lot of people, she's no stranger to death, but actually seeing it with someone she cares about is something completely new.]

Sleep.

[She probably should eat too, but that feels pointless.]

[worthallthis]

Okay. Let me know if you need anything else. I make a mean grilled cheese sandwich.

[knifecollecting]

[If she were less drained, it would make her smile. As it is, she'll just have to remember for a future occasion.]

you might not wanna brag about that, you'll have everyone asking

[worthallthis]

That's okay I like feeding people

[knifecollecting]

i'll take one in a few days.

thanks

[worthallthis]

Just tell me when.

[Mun is sad he doesn't use emoticons. There would be a smiley face here.]

[knifecollecting]

thanks
