Case 69 [Video]

[manofgnee]

--It's just an old mess I've been meaning to clean up...by the way, 1,000 of these guys are supposed to grant a wish, so let's make a bunch!

[Hanna is sitting on the edge of the big fountain, hunched over and smiling, concentrating on something. He's folding a piece of paper, and he doesn't seem to realize he's no longer at home. After a minute, he grins and finally looks up, holding up a small paper crane.]

Not a bad idea, right, Oscar?

[He blinks, smile fading to be replaced with a look of confusion. Wait, this isn't his apartment.]

Oscar?

[Hanna blinks, looking around in confusion.]

Oscar, where'd you go?
...wait. Where did I go...? This isn't my apartment...

[After a minute or two of looking around and wondering what exactly what's going on, Hanna suddenly realizes where he is, and a wave of relief washes over him, and he smiles.]

Ohhh...I thought I was done with this place! Man, I can't believe I forgot...
Hey, I'm back in the City!!

[He grins and stands up, still holding the crane and looking around.]

Hey, Oscar, Sam, Billy, everybody, I think I'm back! Wonder how long I've been gone for...Hope I didn't miss too much...


Sorry, I left, Oscar...I'll be right home soon!

[He grins, still talking to himself, before he rushes off, going to try and find a zombie that's no longer here in a house that's basically empty (save for a sheep and a grouchy pregnant dog).]


[ooc: Screw it, I came back early because I didn't end up going away. Ah well...pretend that this lasted 3 days instead of 2. Anyway, Hanna is back from his canon update!! He's now been updated to the beginning of chapter 3, which can again be found here: http://hanna.aftertorque.com/?p=605]

It felt like I was a lot longer...I think I was gone for a while, as far as home was concerned...

Did I miss anything big?

And...hm...oh! Are you doing ok? I feel terrible not having remembered you and the others at home...

[srsbusinessk.livejournal.com]

You're not supposed to remember all of this when you go home. That's kinda the point of this place existing outside of existence.

I'm...not exactly fine, but I'm doing okay. Better now that, well...The craziest thing happened. You'll never believe it.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Still, feel sort of bad anyway.

I'm glad you're better....tell me what happened, though!! Crazy should be my middle name, I wanna hear!!

[srsbusinessk.livejournal.com]

Dean's a ghost, Hanna.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

That's awes...wait.

He's a...a ghost.

Well...at least you two are able to communicate, right...?

Just tell him that I say hi...since I'm not supposed to be near ghosts...

Do you think that it's permanent?

[srsbusinessk.livejournal.com]

I have no idea, but honestly? I'm just happy to know he's okay. Well, not okay, but not...y'know, gone.

Why aren't you allowed around ghosts?

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

I'm glad he's still here too, even if he is now made of plasma.

Doctor's orders. Not like I really listen to them, but with Worth not being here to deal with me when I inevitably don't listen, I can't take the risk and end up in a legitimate hospital...again...

[srsbusinessk.livejournal.com]

I don't know about plasma, but the sentiment still stands.

Huh. That's odd. So, what? Bad experience or does something happen every time you come in contact with one?

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Hey, is he the invisible sort of ghost that can communicate by moving stuff, or the wailey ooh kinda ghost?

...Something bad happens. And like I said, without Worth here, I don't really wanna see a doctor.

[srsbusinessk.livejournal.com]

The invisible kind. Though with Dean, he could very well end up being the wailey oooh kind.

That makes sense. I'll be sure to let him know.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

I bet he'd do it just to annoy you too. That is so Dean.

Thanks. Tell him it's not personal or anything.

[srsbusinessk.livejournal.com]

The first thing he said to me was "bitch". That's how I know it's really him.

If I tell him that, he might haunt you just for the hell of it.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Oh, Dean...that does sound like him.

Pfft, fine. Just tell him not to touch me then, or he'll feel pretty bad when he's solid again.

[srsbusinessk.livejournal.com]

My brother will be my brother, right?

Alright. Threats for the future, that should work.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Exactly. Good to know he's back in some form, though. When he's solid again, we should all celebrate with food.

They always do!!

[srsbusinessk.livejournal.com]

Definitely. He's gonna be craving all things deep fried and smothered in grease. Oh, and pie.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

I like pie! And despite the fact that I can somehow burn water when trying to cook, I can actually make pie. Somehow. I don't get it.

When he gets over his incorporeal-ness, I'll make pie.

...It's definitely a step in the right direction, isn't it?

[srsbusinessk.livejournal.com]

Definitely.

Thanks, Hanna.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

No problem, man. It's what friends do!

[srsbusinessk.livejournal.com]

I guess so.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

[Hanna's not used to it either, don't worry. Zombie was his first real friend, you know?]

...I think it's what they do, anyway. Still getting used to having more than one friend.

[srsbusinessk.livejournal.com]

Same here. I'm more used to having a...surrogate family that's more inclined to kick my ass than save it.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Before Gallahad, I just had Worth...and he's not really the family type...

[srsbusinessk.livejournal.com]

Well, we can be your crazy surrogate family then. At least while we're all still here to remember it.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Really?

Sam, you're the best, you know that?
