Sweet Dreams Ω Open Post

[ it's some dingy motel set out in the middle of ass-fuck nowhere, set against the rolling backdrop of the hillbilly countryside. Seriously, this was some major Hills Have Eyes crap going on, and if it weren't for the fact that he didn't want to risk pushing his baby girl through another thunderstorm-slash-tropical-storm-slash-typhoon, he wouldn't have holed him and Sam up here.

but he did, and Sam and he had been forced into separate rooms due to the constraints of living space (seriously, the room wasn't even big enough for a bed, let alone two). Bad enough they had to come in during a thunderstorm, but being separated, too? Yeah, Dean was not liking this at all. ]

You all right there, Sammy? [ he calls out, adding a thump to the wall for good measure. A muffled grumble that sounds a lot like "don't call me that" is his only response and, grinning, Dean settles down for bed.

it's not long before he's knocked out, sprawled out on his stomach as the storm rages outside. ]

[ because the hotel was ratty enough to not warrant closet-checking?

he doesn't like rats, okay.

which is what he would have thought the noise coming from his closet was, if not for the fact that rats don't normally talk. maybe if they were six feet tall -- and a huge, unwanted maybe, knocking on wood, here -- but that wasn't something that's likely to happen. hopefully.

whatever the case, he's rousing in under a few seconds, and his grip on the knife reasserts itself even as he flips on the lamp. ]

... little early for Halloween, don't you think?

[ Certainly sounds like there're two in this room who need to get their heads checked. From his coat, the Joker pulls a knife and twirls it between his fingers. ]

Early? Oh no no, tsk, you misunderstand. It's always halloween, see. Now, you know precisely what that means, hmm? Precisely what I'm about to ask you? Oh, you're the smart type, do fill in the blanks, you know what to say...

Trick or treat?

[ there's a pause and he's giving the Joker a look, like did he really just ask that. he's dealt with fewer corrupt humans than demons, but it's enough for him to recognize the signs.

and boy is this clown emanating all waves of crazy. ]

Not really a big fan of treats. Well, not candy, anyway. [ he lets a grin slide onto his face. ] And I really don't think you wanna give me that kind of treat. Hell, even I don't want you to. More of a meat and potatoes kind of guy.

So I guess that means I'll go with trick.
