my friend billy is possessed i helped him push the creature back but i couldn't make it leave it isnt a demon or an angel or a spirit and he's covered in black veins like this
[ jack sends a picture that shows the side of billy's face, and the black veins that spider out under his skin. ]
does it look like anything you know? it's from his home dimension so it's probably new
is this the same billy that your friend shreve sucks at flirting with I'm starting to have some serious questions about the people we let this kid hang around First of all, the 80s called and they want that haircut back
Looks a lot like Cas's vessel did when it had the leviathans in it
yes, that one and he's actually from the 80s so i think the 80s will get it back next time he goes home
[ except, he won't go home again, because he told jack he died there. wow, there's so much going on with the billy situation that he's just not okay with. ]
i promised him we wouldn't let him die billy doesn't really know anything about the thing in him, except that it likes to be cold steve and his kids are from the same world, so maybe they do?
also, i thought castiel's vessel didn't have a you know person in it anymore
Not a bad idea We can run the drill on him Put him through the usual tests, see if anything comes up You're gonna wanna get Cas here too, he can do his whole, you know Angelic diagnostic machine thing
[The vessel business is just a sensitive issue for Claire, she doesn't take offense so much as she doesn't want to discuss it. Very long story, not many good parts, the ending remains to be seen.]
We need to know what we're dealing with before we bring him here. So reaching out to Steve and the rest should probably be our first priority.
His hair really is terrible though. What if we cut it while we were exorcising him?
i can talk to steve i don't want to leave billy by himself for long, though and we're not cutting his hair, it makes him happy and it bounces when he walks, it's fun to watch
you're like a bored house cat if that's your idea of a good time. i was just kidding anyway i'd hate to touch that grease trap even with the added inches of some good scissors.
let me know what the 411 is when steve gets back to you. and oh- just for the sake of asking, how long has this shit just been riding co-pilot and crew with him?
[ the only house cat he has had is the dream guide lion cub that follows him around the house most days. raja does not watch things bounce. raja gnaws on the stairs. ]
i don't know for sure he went home for a little while, like i did, late last month, i think it came back with him, but a smaller part of it
[ jack is not one who often breaks into fits of uncontrollable laughter. he's a quiet snickering sort of laugher, or ducking his head or covering his face or does the silent, not sure if they're still breathing laugh.
that's not what happens when he watches this wholesome gif. from somewhere upstairs in the townhouse, whoever is around will hear him full on cackling as he takes his first adventure into funny cat gifs on the internet.
give him a couple minutes to be able to type again before he replies ]
it was dark, and cold and hungry no, not completely billy's been fighting it for a while, i think, and he prayed to me right when he was about to lose when i got there, i had to hold him down, and then push into his mind, like i did with you he said
[ he hates this, god, he's so angry and heartbroken and helpless feeling about this part ]
he said it killed him, back home for it to die, he had to die with it
but they didn't have us back home, right? so we could still save him here, like they saved will byers
And I hate to bring this up but who's going to be posted at the door to make sure Billy doesn't die? Are we going to have shift changes to watch Billy Ray Cyrus in there, or what?
there's an update Even if we get it out of him, we don't know how to kill it And once it's out if billy it can possess someone else Maybe someone stronger He doesn't want it taken out of him until we know how to kill it
sam's right, dean, they just named it after something in a game it isn't actually a mind flayer it's nothing from our dimension, and not even anything from their normal one it came through some kind of dimensional rift

But I'll tap out on any discussion re: Castiel's "vessel,"
not my deal, let me know when we're actually thinking plans.

Just
Not here
no subject
i'm sorry
[ sometimes jack's an idiot. woops. but at least he knows when to let it go, and he does, moving on. ]
should i bring billy to the house?

I'll introduce you to some pretty cool corners of the internet.
OK
well, wouldn't that mean it's less powerful?

where do i get more
no subject
What was it like before you pushed it back? Was this thing controlling him completely?
no subject
i'm talking with will and mike now
it was dark, and cold
and hungry
no, not completely
billy's been fighting it for a while, i think, and he prayed to me right when he was about to lose
when i got there, i had to hold him down, and then push into his mind, like i did with you

no subject
We've got a lot of help here, Jack. A lot of resources too, if there's any way to save him we're going to find it.
I'd say that the first thing to try would be to sweat this thing out like they did with Will. He'll just have to be locked down so he can't break out.
Whatever we do, if you're there can you keep an eye on him and make sure that it's not taking Billy with it?
no subject
We're not doing that crap at the house, I for one don't feel like cleaning up that fire hazard after we're done
We can use Sam's Regret Cabin
no subject
And I hate to bring this up but who's going to be posted at the door to make sure Billy doesn't die?
Are we going to have shift changes to watch Billy Ray Cyrus in there, or what?
no subject
Even if we get it out of him, we don't know how to kill it
And once it's out if billy it can possess someone else
Maybe someone stronger
He doesn't want it taken out of him until we know how to kill it
no subject
We're not calling it my regret cabin.
That's gonna be hard to do when we still don't know much about this thing, but I get where he's coming from.
We have to learn more about this thing. Where it came from and exactly what it is.
no subject
They're all mage no melee
We recruit Margo to polymorph that bitch and we're golden

[ Who's the nerd now? ]
no subject
[ ya boi really just wanted to gank a mind flayer....... ]
no subject
and you did have regrets in it
[ jussayin ]
sam's right, dean, they just named it after something in a game
it isn't actually a mind flayer
it's nothing from our dimension, and not even anything from their normal one
it came through some kind of dimensional rift
no subject
Yeah, it is, and every time you call it that I remember how much fun it was for me to be stuck in there. For all of us.
Now I'm getting a Cthulhu vibe. Which is even worse than mind flayers.
no subject
Dean playing D&D
and a pissed off octopus end-of-times god.
Where's Ripley's believe it or not when they're needed?
no subject
shut up
no subject
and in that one, you don't have to identify as a character you're not.
so....
anything else nerdy you might be into while we're on the topic?
no subject
also, i like star wars
the internet told me that's nerdy
[ is he playing the game right??? ]
no subject
all bets are made by way of clothing.
the winner is the one that has the most clothes on at the end of a hand.
and star wars isn't nerdy
it's good storytelling
plain & simple.
no subject
and if you win, you get someone else's clothes?
do people come to the game wearing a lot of their best clothes?
oh
this is a sex thing, isn't it
[ SOMETIMES IT TAKES HIM A WHILE, OKAY. ]
i guess i'm not a nerd then
sorry, dean, it's just you
no subject
It can also be a prank thing and a power thing.
The whole point is to just be better at it than the other person.
I mean if it was strictly for sex it's the only game where there'd be no losers.
Be nice to Dean. In his old age, he's prone to bouts of senility.
no subject
i don't think i want to play
i feel like i'd be really bad at this game and i don't have a lot of good clothes left because i had to cut a lot of them
but you're not nice to dean
and dean's not nice to anyone
no subject
no subject
sorry
no subject
no subject
but i'm not sure that has to do with age.
