deadly_nedI didn't make it home in time for Halloween. A...twenty-year-old tradition. Broken just like that.
I don't know if that's a sign to move on or a sign I've been here too long or not a sign at all, just an odd and unfortunate coincidence.
[Private to Alpha]
Checking in.
[Private to Dean]
I'm going to go...pick up Digby and then. Come to your room.
I'm death-tolling. For the first time. I'm death-tolling.

Date: 2013-11-03 03:07 am (UTC)There's another crash, some muffled movement, and then Dean trying to catch his breath. It's the cold shock of him catching up to himself as much as it is the fucking death toll.]
I'm sorry. Ned, I'm sorry.

Date: 2013-11-03 04:57 am (UTC)It was a bad flood. That's all.
[ Private : Voice ]
Date: 2013-11-03 05:00 am (UTC)I'm sorry.

Date: 2013-11-03 05:03 am (UTC)You're not a jackass. You're my friend. You're not...at fault, here.
Terrible things happen sometimes and there's no way for some of it to be prevented. If you really...really need something to do to feel better, I only need for you to be there when the terrible thing stops happening.

I'm sorry I yelled. Are you still coming here?
I hate this room. I can't be alone in this room right now.
[ Private : Voice ]
Date: 2013-11-03 05:12 am (UTC)It was a yelling sort of situation.
[ Private : Voice ]
Date: 2013-11-03 05:19 am (UTC)Okay. You want help with that?

Date: 2013-11-03 05:30 am (UTC)Don't fuck around with death tolls, Ned. This is my fourth.
[ Private : Voice ]
Date: 2013-11-03 05:31 am (UTC)Fourth..?
[ Private : Voice ]
Date: 2013-11-03 05:33 am (UTC)Death toll. Fourth death toll. I know what I'm talking about.
[ Private : Voice ]
Date: 2013-11-03 05:35 am (UTC)Besides, I. I think he likes me.
Or at least doesn't mind me.
[ Private : Voice ]
Date: 2013-11-03 05:37 am (UTC)[He doesn't say "And I will shoot him in his face if he doesn't give you the damn dog without hassle." That seems to upset Ned, no matter how true it always will be.]
[ Private : Voice ]
Date: 2013-11-03 05:38 am (UTC)And I need someone who knows where I am when I go.
[ Private : Voice ]
Date: 2013-11-03 06:25 am (UTC)You're good for more than that, Ned.
Do I bother pointing out that I know where Hannibal's room is, and I can just go there whether you want me to or not? I'll know where you are if I'm there.

Date: 2013-11-03 04:06 pm (UTC)I don't want him to make you a target. You have this...way about you. Which I like. But it also involves, and excuse my language..pissing off people you shouldn't.
[ Private : Voice ]
Date: 2013-11-13 08:02 am (UTC)I piss off exactly who I mean to piss off. Most of the time. I...
[He doesn't point out that he's probably already a target, mostly because he's not sure whether that's actually true or if it's just the fact that he's so used to being one that he assumes it's always true.]
Fine. You have half an hour.
