[ it's a day he'd take, even if he knows what she's saying is true enough. he doesn't bother admitting as much though, is only running a hand over his face and into his hair before sighing some.
however, her warning about dying has him paying attention again soon enough. ]
A death limit. [ death not being permanent? old news. but a limit? that's... not something that's been mentioned to him, and has him raising a brow in question even if she can't see it. ]
What, like some nerdy-ass Mario game? Game over once you run outta lives?
[ she owes stiles and isaac a thanks for that, since she is much more versed in the ways of video game lives thanks to the two of them. ]
The first time you die it takes a day for you to come back. Second time, two days. There aren't any other side effects until the fifth time, and when you come back then... [ it's weird explaining this all to him, after what happened around christmas. how he came back after christmas.
but allison can adapt. she can't blame this dean for what he can't control, can she? ]
It hasn't happened yet, from what I know. But we had an...event. We have those a lot, but during Christmas there was a weird one- anyway. It doesn't really matter, but we found out that way. That when you die five times you lose something about yourself. Your mind, your conscious, your sense of empathy or sympathy or loyalty. It's weird, but it's like Wonderland has to keep something about you that you can't get back.
No one knows why, or how, or if what it picks has any special meaning, but it's...scary. To see. [ she trails off a little there, thinking about stiles. about how he shook just looking at her. ] And there are some places where you won't come back at all.
[ she speaks, and dean's only left to rub a hand over his face, the absurdity of it all piling on him slowly... ]
How can someone kick it five times around here? I mean, what do you people like live without any care? [ says the guy whose death toll is over one hundred. ]
S'just another leash designed by this place. [ but he won't prod for more. this time.
except... ]
Those places, where you don't come back-- do you know... do you know if you're still around back home? Even after kicking it like that.
[ just wait, dean. time will fly and suddenly you'll realize just how much of this you simply accept. ]
A lot of us have been here a while. I've been here...almost ten months, and have died twice. It's possible, especially when the events gets dangerous.
[ there's a tight smile on her end that he can't see when he mentions the leash. that's definitely one way of putting it, personal opinions aside. ]
I don't. [ as honest an answer as she can give. ] I hope so, considering... [ it happens to me is what she means to say, but can't really bring herself to verbalize. ] But I still don't really know how this place deals with back home. All I know is that while you're here, time doesn't move back home, not until you go back. But since no one here has died in one of those places, or died five times, no one's been able to figure out how it affects you back home.
No one's counting on it, Dean. But when you're best friend is going to die and you have a way to stop it, it's a nice thing to have.
[ not worth mentioning the time she had absolutely no say in it, and just ended up in an incinerator right as isaac opened the door/flipped the switch. not when he's being like this. ]
Oh, if you're already annoyed, you're going to have a rough time here.
Right. [ and only right because dean has to agree, that yeah, it probably is nice when your friend is dying. but he's not about to say that, more than pissed with wonderland and its residents still. ]
Good to know. Guess no one will be surprised if I don't play best buds with everyone around here.
No one is friends with everyone, unless you're Torhu or Mary Margaret or someone. You pick and choose your allies, just like anywhere else, but there are a bunch of good people here that you should give a chance.
The whole point of this call was saying that last time, we trusted each other. I'm not expecting you to trust me now, but I am here if you need anything. That was it.
[ dean wants to argue, could probably spend hours at it if he really wanted to. lucky for both of them, he doesn't. there's only a resigned sigh before he mutters a; ]
Well... message received. [ or something. whateverrrr, you punk-ass kid.

Another mystery, then. This place is just burstin' with 'em.
