(no subject)

WHO: The Shifter & You. Yes, you.
WHEN: An ambiguous time that feels like a few hours but will, in fact, be the 24-ish hours 'til plot's end.
WHERE: [See NOTES]
WHAT: The house chases The Shifter.
WARNINGS: Language, violence, disturbing images, etc.

NOTES: Everyone in the house (including Castiel and Annie) has perhaps fallen asleep. The dream resembles reality, or vice-versa. You're not entirely sure. Wounds sustained in whatever this is will hurt and act as real wounds; weapons used will work properly, etc. People can form one large group or multiple smaller groups.

You will be encountering nightmares. These will be of your own devising and not The Shifter's direct creation, so please play them out within your group(s) and try to balance and mix multiple peoples' nightmares together (ie Owen might appear alongside Alastair in an empty school hallway, or you might find yourselves in Hell alongside Michael with key!Dawn trying to help you out). Please recall there are other monsters if you care to use them.

The Shifter will enter when he is found (yes, he will be found).. but that means that it's up to the players to get through at least one round of nightmares. A tip: work together! Please also be mindful of other peoples' activity and either break into groups based on that OR be patient. No one should be left out. If you break into groups, every group will get a Shifter and it will be up to you guys to figure out which is The Shifter.


tl;dr Work together, have fun, create your own nightmares and I'll torment you near the end with The Shifter.

Sam, too, had been in the middle of another dream. Something far more dangerous than this, but the same ominous overtones were humming in the air.

He approached the crossroads quietly, worry etched across his face. This journey had begun at a crossroads, and now it seemed the nightmare was returning full circle.

Quietly, and with a touch of hesitation, the hunter pulled the small bullet out of his pocket - rolling it's small surface with his thumb and forefinger. He had the feeling that it might come in useful, and at the very least the repetitive motions kept his anxiety at bay, and his hand busy.

Rose and Castiel were before him, each having traveled from their own direction, but there was no conclusion as of yet. No signs nor explanation as to what would happen next. And yet, there was nowhere else to go, either. the other roads seemed wrong, and the notion of turning around seemed equally bleak. So they were at an impasse, waiting for something. Anything.

Rose had to resist the urge to go to Sam. Choosing him automatically had become a reflex. Now, though, she'd seen his nightmares. A resentment was stewing inside of her, born of all of the things about himself that Sam had apparently hidden. Some friend. It likely meant he was after The Doctor, or the TARDIS, or similar... just like everyone before. Rose frowned, staying in place. Little girls weren't supposed to talk to strangers.

...Of course, Rose Tyler's mind never settled that easily. A few silent moments passed, and she found herself watching Sam from the corner of her eye. He looked tired, anxious. The blonde bit her bottom lip. Sam could be just another liar, chasing a Time Lord... or maybe he just had issues like hers. Cursing her gullibility, she made a decision.

"'ey!" Rose called out to Sam. "You. Me. After this. Serious sit-down." She didn't expect or need a reply. The order was left to hang in the air.

She turned, at last acknowledging the other person at the crossroads. Rose had seen him earlier. With Dean. Right away, she labeled their introduction doomed. Any friend of Dean's probably got a (totally ridiculous and unjustifiable) warning about her. Trying to hide her worries, the blonde put on a friendly smile. "'lo," she greeted, taking a few steps forward. "I'm Rose."

Castiel spotted the pair and began to walk toward them briskly. He was glad to see Sam, but his blue eyes searched the area for the other Winchester brother. Dean would be sent here with them as well, wouldn't he? Cas just hoped Dean wasn't in any trouble.

When Rose introduced herself, the man in the trenchcoat looked straight at her. He didn't sneer, but he didn't smile either. "I'm Castiel." He answered simply and looked between her and Sam. It was more of a curious look than a disapproving one.
