(ooc: postdated about an hour after Chuck's post)

You guys see the latest from Chuck?

I just got done making sure he didn't give himself alcohol poisoning. He kept saying everyone's getting possessed. Sounds like we better stock up on the salt and holy water.

Alright people, this hiatus has lasted for long enough. I'm breaking my absence in this regard: now that things seem to be back to normal... or as normal as it gets around here - I am calling for a rooftop training session game of tag tomorrow night. Anyone who wants to or is able to join, can. This will take place after dark, working to hone reflexes, agility and of course basic skill sets.

Ops teams are requested to report to the Security Room for tac and observational training. This will last one hour, no more, no less. If it is raining we will do stealth exercises within the building. Thank you.

Oracle Out.

Anyone up for a couple beers?

You think we should get Mom set up at the apartments? Or would she be more comfortable at Bobby's place?

[Filtered to Martha]
I'm gonna go see Ruby. I know it's not something you're gonna advise and I can feel the lecture coming on already, but I'm taking Jo with me. She's volunteered to, uh, babysit. I guarantee there won't be a drop of blood spilled.

[Filtered to Bobby]
You hear about my Mom?

[Filtered to Castiel]
Hey, anything new on the angel front?

[Text to Jo]

[Text to Cas]

We need to talk.

[Text to Chuck]

Couldn't tell me about this too? Would it have killed you to say, Hey Dean. Don't even bother. Things are fucked anyway. Go to Maui and Fuck this shit

[Text to Dawn]

When you were sobbing your eyes out after I got my ass handed to me by Alastor. It looks like you forgot to share something. Funny how that works.

I'm going to Bobby's in a couple of days. After I

Hate to do it, but going to have to suspend boot camp for a while, group 3, you're still on the roster, and you'll be the first to know when I get it started again.

Rubs his hand over his face as he leans his head back against the head of the Impala's car seat. There was a hell of a lot going through Dean's mind right now but as typical he was pushing it all down. He had plans, for when this was all over -- if he wasn't dead from it (God, it would just be easier ... Actually it wouldn't but at least he would have a couple of less things to worry about), to saturate his liver in alcohol. Preferably whiskey. Now though he was focusing his energy, with that hard-edge Winchester state of viewing things, on Sam.

He had just dialed Bobby's number and was waiting for the older man to pick up.

He checks the the rear view to see that Sam isn't on his way back yet.

"Bobby? Hey. I know you're busy with the camp and all of that, but I need your help with something real important." Dean says when Bobby answers

So, I've got this friend who told me that you're the man to go to if you're looking do some reading up on demons. I haven't been here long and haven't gotten the chance to get training, so I figure I need to do something useful. I know we don't know each other, but it shouldn't take me that long to get in and out if you agree. A few hours at most.

Right, those of you who signed up for boot camp, I'm going to just bring all of you in at once, seven instead of five will be close quarters, but nothing unbearable, and you're all adults, I expect you can work any problems out like adults.

It's going to run a week at a time at the Singer Salvage Yard in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Meals and beds will be provided, and weapons for practice when needed, if you've got your own, bring 'em, people work better with their own weapons.

I've got:
Group 1 - Feb 1st thru Feb 7th
Sarah Connor
Sawyer
Jaz Parks
Cassie Chan
Kate Austen

Group 2 - Feb 8th thru Feb 14th
Connor MacManus
Murphy MacManus
Rupert Giles
Malcolm Reynolds

If you could all check in, let me know you're still interested we'll get this going.

Been a while since I've thrown this out there, and we've got some new faces since then.

Name's Bobby Singer, and from time to time I run a boot camp, week-long, intensive training sort of thing to get the out-of-towners more familiar with the sorts of critters they're dealing with here. Theory is that if you can't learn it from me in a week you can't learn it at all.

If you're interested, drop me a line, 18 and up only please. Usually do this in groups of five and if anybody who's already done it needs a refresher? You're welcome to sign up again.

You know, I always hated being a Hunter when I was a kid. Was toting guns around and shooting at targets before I could recite the alphabet the whole way through. Don't get why people would wanna throw away their childhood for blood and chaos. It's a real waste. And I know, trust me - sometimes it is forced on you, but I always figured that if you guys were staying at the apartments you'd have the choice to decide. Can't imagine choosing the hard life when there's the option of something so much more safe, simple, and as close normal as you can get around here lined up right there for you to take.

Yeah, yeah. Shut up, Sam. I know. Just an opinion. Take it for what you will.

Day after Christmas, Dean and I are leaving.

...and don't comment to any of these people talking to me. I don't want you to argue with them.

[Bobby]
Doing all right?

Nice to see everybody's back to normal, or as normal as this lot gets.

Obviously we missed some time for training, but now that we're all ourselves again, boot camp is going to resume as usual with Group 7 going from December 10th to 16th, followed by group 8 going from the 17th to the 23rd, then a skip week for Christmas, since I know you people are going to want to do the holiday thing, and then picking back up again with group 9 from January 2nd through 8th.

Anybody who's got any problems with it can just suck it up and deal. Or if it's actually a valid concern, let me know.

Any newcomers who are interested, let me know, we'll add groups on as necessary.

This is one of those days when I can't help wondering why I bothered to leave my house. Who knew numbers could be so exhausting? As soon as I get home, I'm going to take a nice, long shower and then an even nicer nap and then maybe I'll stop seeing things. Here's hoping that I'll feel better once I wake up.

Maybe my masseuse will see me a week early. I don't think she'll mind if I tip well enough, do you? People are so strange about things like that sometimes, but I've found that most trespasses can be forgiven if you're willing to part with some cash. It's a funny world we live in.

I'm just waiting for the day that: "Well, your honor, I believe it's because he's a damned idjit" becomes a valid argument in a court of law. Been a long week already and it's only Tuesday.

No camp this week, having the week off for Thanksgiving. Going to start back up again next week on the 29th with group 7.

In the meantime I figure I better throw the invitation out again since we've had some new arrivals since I first brought it up, so here's the deal:
I know that some of you don't have any sort of basic training, and some of you do, but I know for a fact you ain't all on the same page for what's going down here.

What I've got is a week-long hunter-skills boot camp. Because if y'all can't learn it from me in a week, you can't learn it at all. 18 and over only, please, just to cover my own ass if local law enforcement shows up to see what all the hubbub's about. Leave me a note here if you're interested.

You are in charge of these camps?

I realize some of you are in the wrong bodies, nothin' I can do about it until we find out what's causing it. In the meantime, those of you signed up for group four are still showing up, wrong body or not, got to keep this thing rolling.

Anyone who hasn't signed up for boot camp and wants to, let me know, 18 and over only please. Anyone who's missed their session (and I think it's just been three of you) I've got a catch-up session after the first round, just going to keep it all in the same post (here) to keep things tidy.

Sorry about the abrupt departure yesterday, but I was needed back home. Another victim of that hell goddess. I should be back in a few hours. I want to check on the patient before I do. Again I am sorry. and no, Demons did not get me.

I want to thank those of you that helped me the other day. I've been healed somehow, thanks to Wyatt, and things are a little better. So thank you.

I was meant to be out there with the group at camp now but am not long out of hospital. Is there any way I can rejoin at some other point? I really want to know these things.
