“why haven’t you been more active?”
@shinyblackchevrolet:
‘ i’m just floating in this ocean of nothing and i wonder if this is it , this is what death is . ’
Every hunter had their own way of coping with a loss, hell, even with repeated losses. Sometimes all you got out with was your life and the knowledge that a bad thing had lost its chance to hurt anyone else. Even so, all that silver lining crap that seemed so sane from a distance rarely held up when push came to shove.
When they lost people, when it was close enough and hit hard enough to bleed, Claire went running. And, sometimes, Im drank.
Now that they were back in the room and more-or-less burnt out, it should have been over. Claire, for one, had fallen into bed without bothering to shower after Im was safely inside and the door was locked and bolted. Another couple minutes and she would have been dead to the world until dawn, but her friend spoke up before that, words slightly slurred but clearly audible and bare in a way that immediately planted a wedge of unease in Claire’s weary mind.
It was like seeing her naked, like breaking the lock on a diary and seeing something horribly personal on the pages. More significantly, it was a weight a sober Im would have gone to hell and back before revealing to the girl she loved and cared for as if she were her own.
With arms and legs seemingly shackled with lead weights, the blonde pushed herself up to sit on the corner of Im’s hotel bed. Her hand settled gently on the older woman’s forehead as if she were feeling for a fever, chilled fingers brushing back Im’s bangs before she leaned down to touch a chaste kiss to the exposed skin.
"Hey,” she tried to affect softness through her exhaustion, to give back just a fraction of what Im or her own mother would have offered if their places were switched. “It’ll look better in the morning, m’kay?”
It took no great effort to sink into bed beside Im, head resting on a strong shoulder that had been offered for comfort more times than she could ever hope to count. She breathed deep there despite the mingling smell of alcohol on Im and sweat lingering in her own unwashed hair and when she spoke it was as much in prayer as in promise.
“It’ll get better than this. I know it will.”
‘ the world out there has teeth and it is hungry and it is stupid and it eats and eats mindlessly . ’
Their pace was slow, steps metered out in the lagging succession of those to whom direction came as an afterthought, if thought of it came about at all. Exhaustion had long since numbed Claire’s awareness, the edges of the waking world’s truths blurred like smudged pencil lines in this stinging darkness. The words, coming from one the world viewed with such admiration and optimism and hope, rang through in her hearing without reflection or opinion. After a couple days in the trenches, there was little else to say about the usual tragedies aside from ‘huh.’
The steady ache that had long since settled behind her eyes pulsed absently, marking increments of hours in the cold, timeless place that was a 3AM city street.
"It used to hurt more, I guess...” The aftertaste of the sugars she’d stirred into her last coffee cloyed her tongue like spoiled fruit, a draw of the crisp night air offering a reprieve she was too weary to enjoy. “—When I thought all that pain had to mean something. ‘Everything happens for a reason’ and all that.” A weak shrug formed under her jacket, hands not shifting from the refuge of her pockets.
“I guess it’s the simplest things that are supposed to be true, right? That none of it is as personal as we think. More shit hitting a fan than a goal and a gun.”

Starter Summons // @stardvstdaughter
He recognized her from somewhere. Some bell was ringing in the back of his mind as he tried to recall where he had seen her face before. The ring continued on but he couldn’t quite put his finger on it, not yet anyway. Rogers shifted where he stood, moved closer in hopes that a better view might jog his memory a bit more. Something else caught his attention though; the fact that she was picking a lock earned a small sigh from him. His own curiosity had to be put on the back burner for now as he drew closer. Hand smacked loudly upon the door she was working on as he stared down at her.
“So, what’s going on here, hm?” Where had he seen her face before? Brows knit closer together as he tried to hear that ringing bell once more.
To be fair, she’d been working off a side door, blocked from the view beyond the alley by a dumpster that had seen more knife fights than the counselor at a camp for troubled teens; a place as suitable for her target as it was for her. The sound broke her steady-handed concentration with a start, one shoulder striking the door with a heavy THUNK! that did more than a little to nudge a short tumble from a crouch flat onto her ass.
“Crap!” The half-curse was startled and sharp, the blonde’s gaze snapping up even as she scrambled back a few feet. Grey-blue eyes blinked, taking in a face she’d seen in the flesh once before, even if it had then been beneath the cover of a gaudy helmet.
"―God, you again?” The similarity to the first time, at least from her perspective, was almost jarring. Claire’s palms grated against the coarse asphalt, stinging slightly with grit and the tingling aftereffects of surprise. She could feel the gun tucked into the back of her jeans, hard and heavy and not nearly as comforting as it normally was in the light of getting caught red-handed. She couldn’t imagine going to jail. Couldn’t imagine the noise.
Seemingly on cue, the sound of a woman’s half-muffled scream sounded from beyond the door. The girl blinked, the selfish fear she’d felt falling from her face as quickly as if she’d been shocked by cold water. Just as quickly, she found herself speaking, almost begging.
“Break it down. Please. I saw you do it before.” Her gaze flickered between the man and the door, panic itching in her fingers and making each second stretch like hot taffy. “―Please!”

SHE WAS IN HER SHOES ONCE. and samantha felt even more lost than claire, and if it weren’t from her own experiences, samantha might have turned a shoulder and looked out for herself. instead, she offered a small smile as she gently spoke, ‘ if you ever need a friend, or just wanna talk – you can call me. ‘
@stardvstdaughter / sc
There was no doubt that the older woman’s words were intended as a kindness, an invaluable gesture of solidarity in a world where people like them could afford to count on so little. Claire knew this, of course, knew the appropriate reaction as easily as if she could read it from a script. Yet something inside her rankled at the hollowness these gestures always seemed to hold, her involuntary desire to lean into the comfort only bolstering the bitterness brought on by a stubborn weakness in her that felt like self-betrayal.
When Claire spoke, it was with an ugly thing in her heart smothering any desire for help beneath a barbed fence of cynicism.
"―You really think that’s a good idea?”
“i steer clear of that little rat like he had the bubonic plague. what the hell did you do?”
Claire’s gaze was downcast as hands worked in the familiar task of cleaning her disassembled handgun. The question, laden with disapproval as it was, seemed to affect her as little as an idle discussion of the weather. Or, at least, that was the effect of outward nonchalance she was going for.
"―Look, we needed an in, alright?”

❝Was that not the reaction you were expecting? Darlin’, you’ll have to do better than that if you want to get a rise out of me.❞
The force that held Claire in place like a doll in the grasp of invisible hands held fast, the gun that she’d brandished against the witch beginning to weigh heavily on extended arms that were unable to do so much as twitch. This discomfort registered only fleetingly on the girl’s face, her mocking grin slipping into a practiced mask of cool contempt as her attempt to rattle Rowena into faltering her concentration fell flat.
"Fine,” she responded in the clipped tone of forced conversation, “―What do you want? There must be something, or you’d have killed me already.”
castiel took in the scene and frowned. "i heard your prayer. sorry i couldn’t get here sooner. i’m glad you’re alright… well… somewhat alright, anyway.” a quick twist of the cuffs and they shattered, freeing her hand from the radiator. he noticed the way she massaged her arm and he pressed two fingers to her forehead, healing whatever was bothering her with a flash of grace.
“is that better?” he asked, cocking his head to the side. he really wasn’t sure how to deal with her just yet. he hadn’t mastered the whole interacting with a former vessel who was the daughter of his current vessel thing. “are there others?”
For him it was all so simple, the cuffs falling away with one touch and the cuts and bruises of the past months melting away with another. And for that short moment, the touch of grace made her feel safe and whole. She was weary to her bones, part of her wanted nothing more than to curl up under that light and sleep.
Claire barely felt the motion of her right arm, sharp and rattlesnake quick, as it thrust the knife deep into her father’s chest.
The expression that came to her face was one of unprepared horror, a gasp in place of an answer snagging in her chest. Just as quickly her expression hardened, eyes glaring hate and lips peeling back in an animal snarl as she pulled back the knife and plunged it towards him again, again, again.
@stardvstdaughter
“are you okay? you look… not okay…”
"No fucking shit!” Hissed through bared teeth, the girl’s long hair loosing from its bun in the aftermath of what all surrounding signs pointed to being quite the struggle. Two bodies, one collapsed over the other, lay between them in what posters on the wall seemed to suggest was a young man’s messy bedroom. The first of the bodies, laying prostrate on the floor, was that of a middle aged woman. The second, doubled over the other with all the grace of a sack of flour, was a teenage boy. Both had clothes torn and marred with red from the slits of numerous stab wounds on their backs, a piece of the puzzle fitting cleanly with the blood-drenched knife clasped with white-knuckle determination in Claire’s right hand... A hand which was bound to the radiator with one end of a set of handcuffs.
Upon Castiel’s arrival the blonde had straightened, but with a shaky breath she now sunk back to sit beside the radiator, left hand lifting to massage her right arm in distracted agitation.
"―Sorry. Sorry. Any of your phenomenal cosmic powers good for busting curses?”
