Black Water

[rambles_on]

[There's a moment of muttering and fiddling as Dean tries to figure out how to broadcast himself.]

So, uh, those Night-things were more hurt by holy crap than anything else, right?

We got water, and there're containers all around the cavern. Anyone got a rosary or some kinda holy relic? Because we could all start stocking up on holy water in case those things come back. I don't know how, uh, everyones... conditions... would react to that--

[Dean has spent the majority of his time so far deliberately ignoring any mention of being a shifter or a bloodsucker and he ain't about to stop now.]

--But I figure it's better than nothing, right?

Just head towards the pond with some kind fo sealed container. I'm gonna be camped out there for a while trying to make this work. I can teach people how to do it themselves, too, if you want. 'S probably a useful thing to know.

[There's an awkward pause, as if he doesn't know how to end the message.]

Uh, yeah. Let me know if you have stuff, or want stuff, or whatever.

No worries dude, I think I am immune to holy water.

[ Kevin's tone is perfectly relaxed and cheerful as he runs roughshod over Dean's attempt to ignore him. ]

[rambles_on]

Uh- cool. Happy for you, I guess.

[Dean is clearly uncomfortable, but he's trying really hard not to show it.]

[likeits1999]

...Is this weird for you?

[ And here's Kevin, just going for it. ]

You're not the first hunter I've met, dude, it's alright. You haven't even tried to light me on fire one time yet.

[rambles_on]

Kind of.

[This is very weird for Dean.]

Where I'm from vampires aren't even a thing, so I guess it's not as weird as it could be.

[likeits1999]

....Wait, really?

[ This is now very weird for Kevin too. ]

[rambles_on]

Uh, yeah. We got ghosts, werewolves, skinwalkers, and all sorts of nasties, but no vampires.

[likeits1999]

Maybe they're just hiding real good?

If there's one thing vampires are insane at it's probably hiding from living people.

That and fucking each other over, but... [ Kevin makes a wavey hand motion as if he can blow this fact aside for the moment. ]

[rambles_on]

[Dean... doesn't love that idea, but he'll admit it's a possibility.]

Maybe. There's plenty of shit out there that we don't hear about because of how good at blending in they are.

[The 'fucking each other over' comment sounds like it has a backstory, but Dean's not gonna pry.]

[likeits1999]

I didn't know werewolves were real until like, a couple months ago.

I mean, back home.

[ Kevin breaks eye contact, apparently a little embarrassed. ]

Thought the older vampires just made 'em up to scare us.

[rambles_on]

[Dean has no desire to touch the werewolf thing with a ten-foot pole, so he talks around it.]

There's no way to know what's real and what's a fairytale in my line of work, not until you or someone else has run into one.

[likeits1999]

Sounds like it would be easy for them to make things up just to scare you.

[ Kevin thinks monster hunter seniority must be a bitch to earn. ]

[rambles_on]

[Dean laughs, thinking of some of the stories he used to tell Sam to get him to brush his teeth and shit.]

Maybe, but that's what fact-checking's for. Most things you run into have some kinda lore, so there's usually a place to start.
