SCENARIOS
i WHERE:
001 PLAYGROUND | Well, you can try to hide under the slide or maybe in the jungle gym... at least you're some place fun?
002 PARK | Always happens, caught outside trying to take advantage of the weather... and it ends up pulling a fast one on you.
003 STORE FRONT | Better hope they have an awning you can take advantage of.
004 BEACH | Not exactly the best place to be during a rainstorm, however it is possible to get caught in a sudden storm.
005 FOREST | Mud, bugs and all the rambler's paths are washed away so you don't know how to get out.
006 SKY | On a plane? A pegasus? You were there when the first drop fell.
007 EMPTY CITY | Maybe it was a zombie apocalypse or WW3. It's safer outside when all the nasties take refuge indoors.
008 AT SEA | Nothing is worse than an unexpected freak storm here. Except sea monsters.
009 TEMPLE | It's beautiful, but leaky.
010 WILD CARD | Your call.

ii HOW:
001 TREE | Not the best cover, but it'll have to do, stay close to the roots and you won't get too wet.
002 UMBRELLA | Most conventional... Kinda boring. But it works.
003 NEWSPAPER | Not permanent, but it'll have to do. Good luck.
004 SHIRT | Well... y'gotta do what you gotta do.
005 MAGIC | Wave that wand or chant a spell.
006 CARDBOARD | Out of a dumpster. Nice.
007 LEAVES | Not under a tree: just one really huge leaf.

009 NONE | You don't need cover, screw convention.
010 WILD CARD | Your call.

iii WHY:
001 REJECTED | Welp. Rejection sucks. And no one will see you crying in the rain.
002 WAITING | For the bus? For someone else? For some revelation? What are you waiting for.
003 MELANCHOLY | Sometimes the best place to feel a bit down is out in the rain.
004 HAPPINESS | Is everything going your way? Are you singing a refrain while walking down the lane? Just singin. Singin' in the rain.
005 ANGER | WELL YOU KNOW WHAT. SCREW YOU TOO, RAIN.
006 ACCEPTANCE | You had to be here anyway, it wasn't a choice.
007 SCIENCE | Everyone else is inside but you've got work to do.
008 ACCIDENTAL | Lost track of time? Forgot your coat? Oops. Now you look like a wet rat.

1/8/usual Dean irritation?

[impala_is_my_baby]

He hated hunts that required him to go into the forest. Any form of camping or hiking were always low on his list of things to do, especially after that last wendigo hunt. But if there was a werewolf on the loose hunting down people, he had no other choice. And it was still higher on his list of things to do than handling the end of the world.

So he went out into the woods, taking a 'break' from Sam--he had no idea what the hell his brother was going through with the demon blood, and he was tired of it--and was hot on its trail when a thunderstorm rolled in over the mountains and caught him without shelter. Fortunately (he guessed) there was a small cave he was able to dive into, shaking off his jacket and muttering angrily to himself.

The rain showed no signs of slowing after half an hour, so he pulled out his cell phone, and by some miracle, was able to pick up a signal. So he dialed a number and waited for a familiar voice to answer it.

"Hey. Pick up anything on the angel waves about Lilith?"

[featheryassbutt]

Haven's got the best cell reception! And Castiel picks up the phone without any hesitation. While the angels try to prevent or prepare for the pending apocalypse, Castiel remains hopeful the Winchesters are more than capable of bringing down Lilith.

"Hello." His voice was flat. And he does indeed have news to bring to Dean. "We are doing everything possible to stop her. We managed to capture a few demons, and Uriel is busy tending to them. As for you?" Castiel asks without much concern about the well being for the two brothers. It is all about business that needs to be done. Business that needs to be done at any cost regardless of who gets caught up in it in the end.

Small talk isn't one of Castiel's stronger points. Talk about the weather, porn, or beer is just not on the angel's radar. He's a soldier preparing for an important mission, one he's been preparing for all of his life.

[impala_is_my_baby]

Dean snorts at the business-like tone of Castiel's voice. Great first choice of talking-buddy to call here. And he can only imagine just how chuckles was "tending" to the demons.

"Oh, you know, huntin' monsters, savin' people, freezing my ass off in the middle of the woods," he says as cheerfully as possible through chattering teeth. "Doing what I can for the greater good."

[featheryassbutt]

Castiel furrows his brow, and he steps aside as another angel walks past him to another part of Angel HQ. He listens to Dean, he got the hunting monsters part and the rest well... "I'm sorry about the state of your frozen ass that has detached itself from your body."

He lowers his head, grumbles to himself, and wonders why of all humans it had to be those two. He sighs. "Fine. Tell me where you are, and I can see about reattaching your ass back to your body. Really how do you humans get into these situations?"

[impala_is_my_baby]

That earns him a snort, and Dean shakes his head as he usually does when Castiel is being obviously obtuse about human references.

"Not actually detached, Cas," he says, "But fast gettin' frozen here. Middle of the woods somewhere in Appalachia...hell if I know exactly where."

[featheryassbutt]

"In other words, you need my help." Castiel knows there is a reason behind the call, and it can't be for a little idle chatter. He's sure Heaven's squad of angels won't miss him much if he steps out for a little bit. And perhaps, there can be something that can bring them closer to finding Lilith.

He stops to think. "Tell me where you are, and I'll come to help." It seems like a good idea, and even if Zachariah won't be happy if he deserts his post.

[impala_is_my_baby]

"C'mon now, I didn't say that, exactly," Dean sputters, although he wasn't totally arguing the point, not when he has to crowd closer to the cave wall to avoid a drip that had made its way in. "Told you. Mountains. Near a small town in West Virginia called Laurens."

[featheryassbutt]

Castiel wastes no time in leaving the comforts of Heaven for Dean's location. Almost exact location, as he finds himself standing outside of the cave and in the rain. He looks unbothered as his trench coat becomes saturated from the heavy down pour. He didn't get the idea that Dean may have just wanted to talk with him on the phone, and suspecting the call was a one asking him for help.

"Then why did you call?" Castiel's voice is firm, and he had work back upstairs that needs tending to. "If you weren't in some sort of trouble." He finally steps inside of the cave, and he looks back over his shoulder at the rain. "If it was to stop the rain, I'm afraid that is not my department."

[impala_is_my_baby]

Dean blinks at the sudden appearance, phone still against his ear and he puts it away.

"Huh, didn't expect you'd actually show, Cas," he says, pushing away from the wall a little. "I was just...tryin' to pass the time. Couldn't exactly call Sam. You were the next guy on the speed dial."

[featheryassbutt]

"I thought you might have been in trouble." Castiel still thinks Dean still needs his help, especially with an excuse like he was next on speed dial. With a raise of an eyebrow, Castiel looks a little confused.

"What about your friend Bobby or your brother?" Those two seem like an obvious choice than him. "Perhaps I can help you with whatever it is you are hunting.

[impala_is_my_baby]

"Well, Cas, don't really feel much like talkin' to Sam right now," he mutters with a shrug, then seems honestly surprised by the offer to help. Because since when has Castiel offered to help with anything not Halo Squad related?

"Uh, you can...not that big a deal. Just a wendigo makin' trouble in this neck of the woods and I'm trying to track down its cave. Had to put a hold on that thanks to the monsoon."

[featheryassbutt]

He doesn't know why the two brothers aren't talking to one another, but Castiel knows having them both working together is important. "The two of you should talk." Castiel points out, even if he has an understanding of the need for personal space. But to him the mission is far more important than the need of space.

But here he is taking time away from his brothers. "I can help with the wendigo, but I'm sorry, Heaven does not control the weather." A break he himself needs to clear his mind, so he can better focus at how to prevent Lucifer from breaking out of his cage.
