The angel of the Lord quickly looked up in surprise, his expression serious, without being too concerned. "I must admit, I agree with Halbrek. Eve is dangerous, but she is not truly an old thing. She may not have been around, and may be a new factor in this great game, whatever it may be. But for us, she is hardly new, hardly surprising. Anybody could become dangerous, given the opportunity, the motivation, the cunning. but we have been around before Eve and have few reasons to worry about her.

?

There are so many ancient creatures out there that could be problematic, should she find a way to release them, but that is a concern for another time. I was far more concerned about Uriel's actions myself. HIs motifs might be pure, for all I know, might be indirectly aligned with ours, but he at least can pack a punch, him I have seen in action. Eve, I believe our chances of surviving her are fairly good, unless we are badly outnumbered, distracted or trapped at the time of the battle," Castiel somberly reassured, his eyes sparkling with interest at the next statement.

"Four white trees? Such an intriguing message. I was told there was some arcane metaphysical wisdom depicted in the Book of Revelation, in a decoded form of course. And also some vested reason that could motivate Lucifer to either counteract or harness their energy. My understanding is that each one of them is infinitely dangerous, Death most of all, but while together, there is some hold...well never mind. We shall talk to Lucifer about that, and in the mean time, yes, I see no reason not to play, whatever game you had in mind Halbrek dear, it seems in everybody's best interest, currently," the angel slowly considered, trying to evaluate if he missed anything and not being able to locate any faulty logic in his plan.?

I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed.
I get along with the voices inside of my head.

Jenica doubted anything would come of the letter she mailed weeks ago given the odds against his being anything other than a man who developed a fixation with either her brother or the writings of a drunken Irishman. Either way it was a long shot she’d been willing to take as all the time spent listening to friends and even strangers talking about family brought back a sense of loss one that never truly faded away no matter how hard she fought to keep it buried.

?

She drew a breath trying to keep her emotions concealed as turned away from the sisters who being new to all this no doubt expected her to have all the answers. Her brown eyes went to the phone still in her hand wondering if certain ‘roadhouse connections’ should be made use of but thought better of it as the fewer people who knew about this venture the greater the odds of their success.

?

Carefully tucking the small device back into her pocket as eyes drifted from one sister to the other. “For now…sit tight.” One appeared to be having a little more trouble with the idea than the other who continued pouring over the pages of old journals.?

“Kinda hoping that call to her friends is part that plan.” Abby leaned back in her chair leaving Corbin’s journal laying open on the table as she carefully considered what she and her sister might be walking into. Shaking her head to clear away thoughts of all the ways going up against the first demon could go sideways.

Jenica leaned back against one of the tables filled with books. “If you guys want to back out…” One eyebrow lifted as her gaze drifted between the sisters deciding given the circumstances that offering the two women an ‘out’ before they got in too deep would be far better than having them get cold feet when mixing it up with a demon, especially one of Eve’s caliber.?

“I wonder how much of that old story is true?” Jo knew the two likely had very little in common but it was hard not to think back on the animated movie that her teachers used to let them watch every single year at Halloween when she was a little girl. It was one of the highlights of elementary school…that and recounting every single detail to her father when he returned from ‘working a job’.

?

She walked outside headed toward the impala with a duffel bag slung over her should once they had finished checking out of the hotel. “If Jenica is right and there's a weapon out there that could kill Eve…what are the odds of us getting to it first?” It had become a nearly instinctive reaction for her thoughts to turn to all the ways things could go sideways after two years on the road learning everything that she could from hunting with Sam.

(ooc: feel free to move it along if you wish.)

The yellow haired demon had to wonder if the whole thing was a ploy. The only reason he was still listening was because the tormented soul of an ancient Goetes went through the trouble of escaping the fiery pit, and not being able to get to any senior demons settled on him. The fires of Hell were beginning to take their toll, the Goetes was beginning to assume a fiery semblance himself, only his eyes remained steady as they?have been, through the millennia, if rumors were true.

?

"So you are telling me that an entire chunk of Hell is gone all of a sudden?" Rudolph incredulously wondered, his mind set on his previous dreams of the lovely Salome. "And if it is gone, how is this a threat to anyone, instead of an advantage? Where would it go, what would it do that could hurt us?" Yerbler added, but the man once named Tantalos was not to be swayed. "You must tell your superiors it is an emergency. It wasn't just any part of Hell, it was the Pit of Treachery. You know who dwelled there, don't you," Tantalos demanded and Rudolph began to feel less at ease.

?

It was just like in his dream, minus the pleasant parts. The hills were moving, some figures were rising, surrounding him and only that three part glyph?that he was inspired to draw, deflected and diffused?their oppressive presence. He was able to protect himself and Salome too, with another gift?from his mysterious benefactor, but only with some considerable luck. After all, the man who became the embodiment of treachery did not even bother with the likes of him, using his might to fly upward, ever upward, with the?dark terrain itself?exploding under the pressure of his overwhelming flight. ?

?

Rudolph?never met him, but heard of him. Heard of his never ceasing movement underneath,?that made Hell itself quake. He had considered him merely a dark legend, was half intrigued by?him, as?part of Hell's darker lore that was no longer taught to new demons. But seeing him?even in a dream, defied all expectations. Perhaps, it was the feel of his unfamiliar might, the?sense of treachery that spread its wings in every direction and hurt his very innards. Only Crowley's happy song combined with the glyph allowed him to shake off the memory of the disturbing dream. And now what, what was he to do now, he wondered and repeated the three part glyph that may have once represented the convergence of the rays of the sun, but appeared to protect demons?despite such unusual affiliation.

?

"So, where would Judas go, if unchecked? To prey on what exactly?" Rudolph patiently wondered,?almost certain that his dream happened to be true. Tantalos nodded his approval of the guess and began fervently whispering into Rudolph's grudgingly presented ear.?"Never thought I would witness such miracles in my day," the yellow haired demon admitted with a small smile, wondering what Crowley would make of this nonsense. ? ? ?

"So where seems fun," he asked.

?

Felix was going to be pissed because he'd taken the car, but it was his car,?and shit needed to be handled and that was the bigger picture. Besides, the guy had tons of money and could buy another damn car exactly like this one if it was that big a deal.

Max listened to Katherine as she spoke.??He said “well you may think it my mistake but I do not believe it is.”??he frowned slightly when she spoke about??people calling her a backstabbing bitch.??He said “I think those people are wrong.??They do not see what I see.??Your strong I can see it.??you’re a fighter and a survivor. True I do not know your past.??If you would like to share I would love to listen. No one is truly good nor evil.??people have their own path.??Yours is a survivor and warriors.??You do what is necessary to protect you and those that mean something??to you. Perhaps you will say this is my third mistake.??This is just how I read you and feel.??I cant explain it.??you can try and push me way. Though you nor anyone else can change that.”

?

He was firm on what he said. He was standing by her no matter how evil she might have been. He would honor his word and stand by her.??he said “Fridge what is that.??though I guess it shouldn’t surprise me everything surprises me. though I do not mind hunting and cooking for you.”
