I don't even know what in Merlin's name...


I got sent to a world where Steph was my mum and she wasn't a bad one at that, really. Er.....how much did I miss here? Seems like it might have been a lot.

[Michael]
Oi, did you get sent to some mad place too? You all right?

[Weasley/Potter Family Filter]
All right, you lot?

This is a hell of a lot more like it. If I'm gonna be stuck in this crappy little reality that could, I'm gonna live in a bigass house. I worked too damn hard to end up in some crappy little apartment with all that kid shit all over the place. Shame about the previous owners having to skedaddle, but when you cheat on your taxes, sometimes you get caught. I'd bet money they're down Mexico way right now. Ah, well. Their loss, my gain. Who wants to come to my housewarming party? I can promise a night you'll be trying to remember for weeks.

[Simon]
So sorry I missed your message yesterday, doc. I'd say I was busy but honestly, you're barely worth my time on a bad day, let alone a good one, so I'll make this short and sweet. You keep that little freak away from me and I won't have to introduce you to the chewy taste of your own throat. Are we exceedingly clear on this point, doctor? Because you'd really hate it if I had to repeat myself.

Well, since it seems some people are returning to themselves while others are taking their place in this round of insanity I thought I'd check in and see if you were back to yourself yet. Since if you are you've probably noticed that your brother is missing by now, and if you aren't we can have another fun-filled conversation about how we should all fear your wrath

Wow. Must be a pretty inept kidnapper that steals a celebrity's kid after they're dead. Who do you think is gonna pay the ransom, douchebag?

I've got some weed for sale, if any of you want some. Quality is decent. I've had better, but the dude who's handing it out is being a prick about superiority getting dibs on the good shit, so it's been a bitch getting the top of the line stuff.

To spite him, I'm halfing the price. Who's down?

...hey, so when we say that people have been sucked through a seal to a world where they're sometimes fictional we mean people from other places right? We don't mean that Lawrence itself was sucked through a seal and anyone who comes here becomes fictional? Because I was in book store today and I saw the weirdest books, I swear, the names of the ghost hunting brothers were actually Sam and Dean. There was even one that took place in my hometown, but, uh, at that point I got freaked out and hopped on the network to ask this.

So...we should probably talk. About the other night, I mean.

But really, though. Really. What the crap? I only know how to work a stupid blog thingy because of stupid stupid Fang but I'm told it'll help so, well, here I am. Now. Where is 'here'? And how did I get here? Typically, when I'm kidnapped and taken to a strange location without knowing it, it involves a cage or at least a locked room. Not an open street near an internet cafe.

Which has amazing cookies, by the way. Apparently I look 'pitiful'. If it gets me free chocolate chip cookies, whatever, bring it.

And yes, I say all of that like it's true because it is. So...yeah.

I managed to scrounge up enough money to buy everything I'll need for school. They have some financial aid government thing I was able to sign up for, but it won't last for long. I swear you have no idea how excited I am for school. I'm going to be a Sophmore!

I don't care if I don't know what hell is like, I'm still
Can't even help my own goddamn brother just because "I don't know what it's like"
No one should know what it's like, it's not
I don't need to know what it's like to want to help. I hate feeling so useless, it's not
He and Dean wouldn't be in this mess if it weren't for
I can't believe I have to go as far as to try and get their memories erased. It shouldn't have to be this way, they shouldn't

I need my punching bag. Should probably get one for Bobby's place -- some people might want it for training anyway.

(Filtered to all camp attendees)
Camp is starting up later today with a pretty heavy handed introductory speech to the supernatural delivered by Bobby, so don't be late. He'll grumble and threaten to shoot you in the ass with rock salt if you are and I really don't think any of you wanna deal with the guy running the show giving you a hard time on your first day.

If you're a member of group one (list is posted below), be out back near the shed in the salvage yard at five o' clock sharp. The fun begins then.

( GROUP ONE. )

(Filtered to those who are 18+)
If you're not at camp and if you've got the experience to take on a hunt or two, I've put together a couple new lists of cases that need to be handled. Like before, I'd rather you guys did these in groups. The more help you've got, the less likely you'll be to get one upped. Let me know if you're interested.

I need a favor.

How are those potions coming along?

IM HUNGRY AN I LOST MY CUP BLOODY HELL WHERE DID MY CUP GO I WANT IT BACK! AND THE BLOODY CAPSAMATHINGY IS ON!

I wasn't sure I'd ever think this, but I'm glad I got pulled from Heaven.

I know some people don't like it here, but it really isn't so bad if you give it a chance and settle in.

I'm happy, and in a pretty good mood today. Kind of makes me want to make cupcakes or something, actually.

ALSO

I don't know who left eh purse, but it's pretty. Should I be worried Brady can't get into the complex Thank you!

[Ruby]
Haven't talked to you in a while, how are you? And how's Sam doing with Adam being back?

[Michael Barrett]
Hope you're adjusting to Lawrence and everything. I just wanted to let you know that if you need anything I'm around. I'm an experienced babysitter and everything. I know everyone needs a break from things sometimes, don't forget to take care of yourself too.

[Kyle]
How are you, grumpy? I've been busy and haven't gotten to pester you as much lately.

Since they're cruelly making some of you learn stuff I feel very strongly that we should go and be immensely silly before school term starts. Call it a getting to know you.

I'm inviting grown-up Lily. Cause she's still Lils and should be littler. And is awesome.

For those who don't know I'm Roxanne Weasley. Lets go be teenagers

Someone on here mentioned something about High School! Oh my god. I would be so excited if I could go, but I don't have any formal education so how hard do you think it would be for me to get in? I can read and write and my Dad taught me math, science and history so I'm not a total idiot.

It looks like there were no objections to me expanding the medical facilities here so I'll be outlining a plan and costs over the next few days and then reporting it back here. In the meantime don't forget about physicals and vaccinations, as well as your annual dental and eye exams. I don't have you on a schedule if you've never been to visit me so you'll have to remember to be the one to contact me. Though none of us like to think about it, if you ever do have a medical emergency I'll be able to treat you more effectively if I have a medical for you.

And, yes, Mal, I am being official. How charming of you to comment
...it became such a habit to assume the captain would mock me that I'd almost forgotten

If you and your brother are set up I'd like you to start on Monday. I'll be at the clinic or hospital for the morning, but I'll leave you instructions for the cleaning/paperwork, and when I get back I might ask you to research prices on some equipment we'll be needing for the renovations. I care that the work is done, not about your hours. I assume your brother will need a break from being cooped up in an office while he's with you all day for the time that remains until school starts for him. When my sister was that age no room stood a chance against her when she felt cooped up, and I rather like my office in a state as far from demolition as possible.

Michael Barrett is going to be joining us in the infirmary in a paid, administrative position. I'd appreciate it if you could do whatever it is you do with the smiling and/or other facial expressions that enables you to be direct and get people to listen rather than wanting to punch you. I don't generally have much patience with teenagers. It seems wisest to have a buffer. Also, he apparently plans on dropping out of school. As much as every child dreams of growing up to employ high school dropouts under the table so that they can support their family you might want to attempt to be convincing about that as well if you have time.

(OOC: So basically, if your character is old enough to go to the camp, they can't see this post. Yep, it's gonna be that kind of post. YAY TEENAGE REBELLION!)


I really hope sticking my neck out like this doesn't come back to bite me in the a Hi. My name’s Michael Barrett. I’m a native of this world, like Sam and Dean, but unlike Sam and Dean, I’m not a hunter.

Yet.

I’m sixteen. That means I’ve got two years to go before I can go to that camp Sam was posting about. That’s all fine and well, I get why they don’t want to teach kids stuff that could potentially lead to an unmarked grave on the side of some crappy backwoods road, but I don’t have the two years to wait. I need to know how to fight the things that go bump in the night now. I’m sure some of you feel the same way. I don’t really care why, I know I have my reasons and you all probably have your own, and they’re nobody’s business but yours unless you want them to be. So while I respect that eighteen-or-older rule, I don’t really plan on abiding by it. They don’t have to teach me, but that doesn’t mean I can’t teach myself, y’know? Which was my plan originally, before I saw the camp post. But that post got me thinking.

It got me thinking that I’m not the only one that wants to learn. So here’s what I’m proposing: All of us that don’t qualify for the camp work together to try and learn the hard way. Now before we go any further, please understand that I don’t have the resources for a camp. I actually don’t have any money just yet. So that means that if we do this, it’s going to be all live fire exercises, which for people who haven’t played enough military video games to pick up a couple terms means that since we don’t have the resources to train in a contained, controlled environment, we’re just gonna have to put our boots on the ground and learn with the real thing. That means it’s gonna be dangerous, we’ll probably take some hits, and I won’t lie, it’s possible we might bite the dust along the way. I’m not trying to scare people, but if you sign up for this I need you all to know exactly what you’re getting into.

Those of you that are interested, here’s how I’m envisioning this working: We keep our eyes peeled for anything weird. I know that’s pretty broad, but until I actually do some learning, I can’t really narrow it down that much. That said, if you happen to catch a Youtube video of Bigfoot, you can probably give that one a pass, but reports of people seeing shit inside a haunted house are probably worth a little more credibility right out of the gate. A lot of this probably isn’t going to be pleasant, considering the kinds of supernatural we’ll be looking for are the types that hurt people, but if you want to learn and don’t want to wait for the camp, this is how we do it. So what happens once you find something you think is worth checking? You bring it to the rest of the group. We can do some preliminary research via the ‘net, and if it seems worth it, whoever found it can go out with one or two of the rest of us and see what there is to see. Obviously it’ll be more difficult for us considering we won’t be able to fake being authority figures (unless some of you magic types have a way to magically convince people to believe us, or look the other way, which would be really awesome if you do) but if we can, we’ll work around it. If not, we leave it for the adults to look into. We’ll each have spiral notebooks. I have a little brother I’m planning on enrolling in school, so I can probably snag enough extra for us if I mutter something about back to school sales or wanting to plan ahead or whatever. We use these as our case notebooks, filling them up with facts about cases and information about supernatural things we run into. I’m sure there are plenty of hunters out there who had to learn exactly the same way, so I’m thinking that as long as we’re carefully we might actually be able to pull this off. That said, I want to stress again that this is going to be unpleasant and some of us might get hurt. I know I’m harping on this, but I don’t want anyone coming at me later all, “YOU DIDN’T WARN ME AHEAD OF TIME!” Stupid, I know, but in a world where you can sue a fast food company for getting fat on their food and win, I gotta cover my ass. So having said all that, if you’re interested, I need names. You don’t have to share your capabilities if you don’t want to, but if you’re comfortable with it, it’ll help figure out who’s best suited for what when we actually do go out on stuff. I’ll be doing that in a reply myself, solely because this is already a huge freaking post and I don’t want to make it any longer than it needs to be.

If you’re not interested, that’s fine too. All I ask is that you pretend you never saw this post. If Sam, Dean, or one of the other adults asks you outright, you do what you feel you have to, I’m not asking anyone to lie for me or anyone else. Just don’t volunteer the information, yeah?

On August 14th (that'd be the Sunday after next), Camp Bobby is officially going to be open for business. As a reminder, this is a week long Hunting 101 Guide designed to help those of you who are interested in learning more about the supernatural aspects of this world (though it's mostly, for the time being, centered on demons and spirits -- like ghosts, for example). Room and board will be provided to each new group, so long as each group chips in to help provide food for the week, as Bobby's only got but so much he can give and, according to him, "it ain't nowhere near enough, so you idjits had better find a way to feed yourselves."

Similar to the last time we ran this training event, you have to be at least eighteen or older to participate. I know it sucks for those of you who are younger and want to get your hands dirty with experience, but none of us are comfortable teaching minors at this point, due to both personal preference and past experience, so you're just gonna have to hang tight and wait until you're eighteen before being involved with this one.

Because a lot happened between the last time I posted about this -- which I want to apologize for again, I really intended to get the ball rolling on this a lot sooner I just couldn't -- I'm gonna ask that, if you're interested, that you post your name here. I'll write up a list in the order of those of you who commented to be fair, splitting everyone up into groups set for each week of training. In addition to your name, I'm gonna need info on whether or not you've got the means to get to South Dakota on your own. If you don't have transportation, I'll find you some, but I need to know ahead of time.

If any of you have experience with the supernatural or combat training and want to help out a little at camp with your own courses, let me know. We're all for giving everyone who's headed to South Dakota the opportunity to learn whatever they can.

You don't have to jump into this right away, if you don't want to.

Anybody know any places that might hire a kid full time? Less concerned about the money than the insurance, here. I got a little brother I need to make sure is covered. It hurts to even type this, b It's money. Money I need to take care of Also, does anybody know how to check if someone had life insurance? God. I never thought I'd have to I feel like a fucking gh
