paradisa | First Temptation ♆ Not in Kansas anymore [accidentally dictated/action]

[Meg suddenly feels a jolt and finds herself spiraling through a vortex that seems impossibly large, yet claustrophobic at the same time. It is pitch black, cold, and dry. Thin, odorless air whips past her in all directions at varying breakneck speeds. She imagines that if she could lose consciousness, she would certainly be knocked out by now, but instead she just tenses, waiting. After what could very well have been seconds or years, she feels another jolt and the void is replaced instaneously with a softly lit, lavishly decorated ballroom - the cool parquet floor of which she is now face down on. She rolls her eyes and pushes herself up.]

Nice, Crowley. What in the actual fuck is this supposed to be? Miss Scarlet in the ballroom with the candlestick? Come on, you can do better than- what?!

[Meg sniffs and wrinkles her nose. No sulfur?]

This... this isn't hell. [Her voice drops to a low whisper and her eyes widen as she runs her hand along the wall.] This isn't even earth. [She chuckles to herself] And there's no damn way I'm in heaven.

[Meg cautiously approaches an open door and hears voices from down the hall. Curiosity gets the best of her and she calls out.]

Hello?

Depends on your perspective. From the standpoint of humanity, definitely. But once the apocalypse is short circuited, it's pretty hard to tell the difference.

Well, that doesn't sound vaguely ominous at all.

And that doesn't sound sarcastic at all.

I'm sixteen. Sarcasm is my only language.

I'm a bit older, but I too am fluent.

How do you feel about witty banter?

Can't get enough. If I had to guess I'd say you enjoy it as well.

Yeah, I'd have to agree with that. Witty banter is totally a valid fighting technique.

Indeed, especially when you're dealing with idiots.

That happens a lot.

Story of my life too, kiddo. I can't even imagine if the guys I was working with before ever landed here. They'd lose their precious little minds.

The closed mind type?

Eh, they're the hunters I mentioned before, so you could say that, but I was more referring to what pansies they are about being separated from each other.

...Right. That makes sense.

Eh, probably just as well. The last hunter I met here was a complete jerk.

That doesn't surprise me. I've never met anyone worse than the Winchesters, but they're all a pain in the ass in my experience.

Winchester? Like Den Winchester? Mr. 'Your completely justified teen angst will make you turn evil'?

[Meg bursts out laughing.] Hold on, you've had the pleasure as well? And he thought a little flair for the dramatic would make you go vengeful? Makes sense. Grade A douchebag, that one.

Unfortunately. I only met him twice, but that was enough.

We've had our fair share of run-ins. Technically speaking, it used to be my job to screw with him.

I thought you said you were a demon.

I am. We've got jobs, too, you know. At least I did, until the new management took over.

Wow, that kind of sounds like it sucks.

You have no idea.

I always figured being evil paid better than that.

You would think, right? Anyhow, that's how I ended up re-evaluating my position on things. I'm pretty neutral at this point, but I keep sticking my neck out to save people. It's weird.
