[ someone has big balls for such a pointy guy. dean is quiet for a long beat, doing his best to hide any anger he might feel, and to hold himself back from lashing out. ]

There, feel better? Now how 'bout you get lost before something bad happens.

[improvident]

[Really? You sure, buddy? Bill could go on!]

[ disgust rolls in his stomach at the triangle's words, and what doesn't help is that all of it's true. ]

And get out of my head-- [ that disgust melts into anger quicker than anything, and has dean striking out with a clenched fist. first time he's ever thrown a punch at whatever the hell bill claims to be, but it's deserved. ]

[improvident]

[Bill, who doesn't move a single muscle (does he have any to move, really?) as the human lunges, waits patiently while Dean Winchester's fist goes through his body and takes an extra three seconds to come out the other side of him.]

[ganking]

[ dean's seen and experience trippy, but something about punching a floating triangle and watching his fist disappear tops it all.

he's still staring at his now withdrawn hand -- it's all there, right? no missing fingers? -- and then slowly back to bill. naturally he wouldn't just be here to rile dean up. demons never are. ]

What, not just here to be a pain in my ass? Thought that's all demons cared about.

[improvident]

[There's time to be impressed by Bill later. Stop gawking, Winchester.]

YӨЦ'D KПӨЩ, ЯIGΉƬ?

[Yeah, let's not go there, buddy. The hovering triangle hovers around Dean, as if appraising him from every...angle.]

[ganking]

How do you know about the Mark? [ he asks as if bill hasn't already been in his head a few times. but there's something about mentioning the mark has him even more on edge. ]

'Cause last time I checked, we ain't from the same world.

[improvident]

[You'd think Bill would get tired of leaving cryptic comments with Wonderland's resident peanut gallery, but you'd be dead wrong.]

[ rrrhg. ]

I know. [ god does he know. hannibal had made easy work of him a year ago-- and now, if it were to happen again, the consequences would be so much worse. ] But that still doesn't explain how you know anything-- any of this. Or what you're tryin' to get at here.

[improvident]

[Bill is already thrilled by the prospect of unleashing holy Hell upon these sad sacks, and what better way to do it than with someone who has already fucked up above and beyond the norm? Dean Winchester, always the disappointment. Nobody would be surprised.]

[ganking]

[ okay, so the guy knows how to be spooky. dean braces himself, but is instead met with bill as he'd appeared seconds earlier once more. for a guy shaped like a triangle, he's awfully dramatic... which is definitely a demon thing.

dean crosses his arm. ]

... Alright. How?

[ see? simple. spit it out. ]

[improvident]

[And just think! You haven't even seen his true form!]

[Tit for tat, Dean-o.]

[ganking]

[ his eyes narrow as he tilts his head just slightly to the side. ]

You'd need a heart to do that for starters... So what's it gonna take? Help in world domination? Unleashin' hell? My soul?

[ ahahah wouldn't the last one be funny. but alas, he's not surprised by this. of course there'd be a catch. ]

[improvident]

[God, no, anything but the trademarked Angry Winchester™ look! Bill is shaking in his custom-made beaver skin top hat!]

[ganking]

[ it does put dean at ease, knowing his friends and family would be out of this. of course, trusting a demon is only someone without a brain would do, so he's not entirely convinced... but right now, this is starting to look like his best option. ]

...What from who?

[ 'cause if it's someone's soul, then... ]

[improvident]

[ganking]

[ brow raise. ]

A book... [ wow unimpressed. ] What's stopping you from getting it yourself? Seem pretty sure of your nifty skills there.

[improvident]

[A BOOK. SO CRAZY, RIGHT? PRETTY CRAZY BECAUSE YOU'RE TOO STUPID TO READ, RIGHT? Yeah. He thought so.

Bill hovers in a circle around Dean before putting a hand through Dean's head.]

[ganking]

[ his job is to be pretty, not smart tyvm. ]

You know... I don't know 'bout this. Something tells me if I get you that book, your whole... nagging ghost thing is gonna turn a whole lot more dangerous than just runnin' your mouth and reading minds.

[ even if this means turning down an offer to help with the mark. ]

[improvident]

[It's a marvel Dean got so far in life, when in Bill's opinion he is neither pretty nor smart. Bill swirls around the human again, manifesting his cane and twirling it.]

[But it's not like he's a professional at this, or anything. Oh wait.]

jesus what a late tag from me

[ganking]

[ it might all the true what bill says, and he might end up repeating his horrible mistakes over and over by denying himself this offer.... but then dean can see the disappointment in sam's eyes already, if he did accept a demon's deal.

he can't have that. ]

Then I'll deal with that when the time comes-- or they will. They know how to stop me now, if I end up a demon again. And it doesn't involve a flying cone. [ his voice turns definite then, not leaving much room for chit-chat. ]

So get outta here.

wOMP WOMP

[improvident]

[A cone? Really?]
