[She starts to respond via text then decides this is probably a conversation best had without stupid things like post limitations. So video it is. Even if video does come with its own special brand of difficulties considering how young she looks.
But she'll cross that bridge when she gets to it. For now she wants information and she isn't going to be deterred if she can help it.
The feed barely has time to flicker to life before she's stating what she needs.]
I need information on how to kill Lilith. [a pause] Please.
[ a slightly, maybe sorta creepy kid, but a kid nonetheless. and dean's just raising a brow, right until the moment she mentions one of his favorite demons. screw her being a kid, lilith means trouble. ]
You been talkin' to that bitch? You need to stay the hell away from her, y'understand?
[Abby isn't surprised when he assumes she's a child. That very assumption is partially why she's survived as long as she has. People tend to let their guards down around children much more easily than adults, after all.
The question she has now is whether or not to correct him. On one hand, it could cause him to turn against her rather than give her the information she needs. On the other hand, though, she doesn't like the idea of someone fighting her battles for her and he seems like the type who might do just that if he really believes she's a child being targeted by a demon.
Ultimately, it's a question of taking the easy way out or doing the right thing and dealing with whatever follows. It only takes her a second to decide what she's going to do.]
I'm not a child. I just look like one. I have for a very long time. [a pause, a vague hope he won't press her for anything more than that, and she focuses back on her reason for contacting him] And I can't stay away from her. She's [her lip curls a bit] trying to seduce someone I care about. I can't let that happen.
[ well, this just took a turn from shit to even worse. dean knows all about the kinda claws lilith has, how she's basically designed for seducing people, to bid them to her will. but before he can get into that -- which is all old news -- he has this... not-a-little-girl to deal with.
you really thought he wasn't gonna press? ]
You wanna clarify the whole Happy Meal look then?
[ he's not moving past that until she does. for all he knows this thing is working with lilith. ]
[Does she want to clarify? No. No she does not. She might not know Dean in any capacity, but she's seen him around enough, and heard plenty of stories, to know that ousting herself to someone like him could very easily end with her demise or his. She doesn't want to see either of those things happen.
But she brought it up and she knows she can't just avoid it. Especially if she wants his help with Lilith. Best to just get it over with, then.]
I'm a vampire. [She still loathes using that term but just saying 'I need blood to live' doesn't exactly cut it in a place where all kinds of creatures exist. So vampire it is.] I'm not evil, though. I drink bagged blood and I don't hurt people. [She also has a deal with Hannibal Lecter that provides her with free, fresh blood, but no way is she telling him that.]
[ oh there it is, the few words which have dean considering ending this conversation right away. yet he doesn't, just grumbles something or other under his breath about freaking people drinking creeps... still. benny does cross his mind though, and maybe, just maybe it's because of his friendship with him that dean decides to just go forth with this. ]
I don't hurt people is a thing I've heard way too many times, kid.
[ jsyk. ]
How do I know you're not actually buddies with Lilith, and this is all some-- fancy-ass trick?
[Abby doesn't hesitate to respond. She just gives a slight shrug and goes with what they both know is the truth.]
You don't. You don't know that I'm not working with her anymore than I know for sure that you're really Dean Winchester. [a pause; she continues in the same calm, virtually emotionless, tone] But if you'll think about it, you'll see it would be a pretty stupid trick. Because I'm not asking you to go after her. I'm not even asking to use any of your weapons. I'm just looking for information on how to do it myself.
[ ....it would be a stupid trick, one dean thinks he could see right through and even lilith isn't that incapable. but he still hesitates, wanting to find some loophole or angle that he's missing here, something that would shed some true light on abby. eventually though he sighs some, though that stern expression remains. ]
....Right, and say I believe you? What makes you think I'd send you after Lilith? Alone, at that? 'Cause you know, the bitch might not look much more than a toothpick Barbie, but she packs a mean punch.
[And this. This is why Abby tends to avoid dealing with adults. Rarely do they get past the fact that she looks like a child but isn't one. Even if they think they can accept it, there's always a part of them that still treats her like she's actually twelve-years-old.
She supposes, in some way, she should probably be grateful. The guy seems to be trying to protect her in some way - or protect the peace in Wonderland, instead, maybe - but she doesn't really appreciate it right now. She's concerned about Lindsey. No one else. Not even herself.
To her credit, though, she manages to keep her temper under control and her tone even as she tries to reason with him some more.]
I know she's dangerous. I know killing her might even be impossible for me. But she's giving someone I care about her blood and it's changing him. I can't convince him to leave her alone and she isn't going to leave him alone willingly. [She shrugs.] What other choice do I have?
[She pauses and raises her chin a notch.]
I'm not afraid to die, Dean. Not if it's for the right reasons.
[And that's not true, not even a little, but she sounds sincere enough.]
You get help. You get help that'll do the hard bits for you. And I know you've done that with me, sorta, but I'm telling you... it's tough goin' up against her. I can't just-- send you to your death, kiddo. [ not a kid? looks like that's been forgotten. but her appearance doesn't help him feel any better about this. ]
But maybe I can help your friend-- or help you with that, demon traps and all, and then find a way to deal with her. She's kinda on my off list, and all.
[ a lot of people are, but it's slow going in a place like this where death isn't permanent. ]
Dyin' for the right reasons is good and all, but with Lilith-- you can find another way.
[her lips press together into a thin line and her eyes flash with something, a promise of there being far more to her than what you see at first glance; her voice comes out tight sounding]
I was born before America became a country. Please don't call me that.
[and moving on because at least he's agreeing to help. that's something.]
What will it take to stop her? [stop. not kill. if there's another way, she'll listen, but she's not making any promises.]
First off, we'd wanna start with simply trapping her. After that... well, there's a whole lot we can do to make her understand that she needs to back off.
