Ain't No Grave Can Hold My Body Down [Closed]

[notadamnangel.livejournal.com]

Dean had made sure to keep himself to the house. He was too worried about the next time he'd lose more memories to do much on the house expansions for now. It meant he spent his time pacing around like a caged tiger.

And then things shifted again. His hair became more mussed up, and his hands looked abraded and bleeding, like somebody who had to claw out of a coffin and the ground. He glanced around, trying to realize where he was. It wasn't Bobby's, and yet it seemed familiar. Everything was mixed up.

Sammy, he had to find his brother. Had to see him again after so long.

(ooc: closed, but open to anybody who'd be by the house or know the Winchesters well.)

"You barely have to do anything at all," Rhiow reassured him. She jumped up onto Dean's bed, rubbing her head against his hand, trying to make him feel a little better about this crazy situation.

Then she sat back on her haunches and flexed her claws in a nearby tangle of hyperstrings, opening her claudication. She fished in it for a moment - to Sam and Dean it would look like her paw simply disappeared - and then flipped the thamaturgical battery out onto the bed. It glowed a soft greenish-blue. "All you have to do is drop this in the spot Arhu marked. D'hean, this is Arhu, by the way. He works with me at Grand Central."

"Dai stiho, D'hean." He looked around, and then carefully crouched and leaped up to the end of the bed. Sitting down, he made himself comfortable.

Sam picked up the battery, looking it over and nodding. "All right, I can do that. Might be best to leave this outside, so I can drop it in quickly."

The fact of the matter was, when Dean went back, there wasn't likely to be a lot of time before they needed to get that barrier up. "When I want to bring it down, do I basically do the reverse? Take the battery out and it stops working?" He reached over, trailing his fingers over Rhiow's back, taking a little comfort himself.

"Uh, Dai'stiho Arhu. Thanks for your help," Dean replied, stumbling slightly on the pronciation. He appreciated Rhiow being close by, and had reached out to pet her lightly. He even moved his fingers to scritch at her cheeks and under her chin when she let him.

Oh, that was wonderful - this is why she hung around ehhif so much. She threw Arhu a sideways glance, her whiskers forward, as if she was telling him to take a hint. "If you need to drop the barrier, taking the battery out will work. And let us know if it drops before you're ready, we'll come through and pour some more power into it."

By which I mean I'll ask you to put some power into it, she said to Arhu in the mental dialect of the Speech. You're a lot younger than I am.

He glanced away nonchalantly, having caught that look from her and not willing to acknowledge the idea just yet. She could indulge herself with the ehhif if she wanted to.

I can do that, he replied. He wasn't a powerhouse like Sif, but he was still a tom, and a damn fine wizard.

"Well, I was just thinking about the best way to bring it down when we don't need it anymore." Sam shoved his hands into his pockets, considering. "Of course, it might just be easier if I message you to come and bring it down normally unless there's a major issue."

Dean thinking he was being chased by Hellhounds, for example. Trapping him in the house wouldn't help if that was the case.
