dashboardlite: (HEEEYYY)
[personal profile] dashboardlite

[At first, Dean had thought that the dream he had a couple nights before was just weird.  Clockwork dolls, inky-black demon eyes - it was bad mojo.  Things are changing around him, and for the most part it doesn't bother him too much.  He expects it, now, because this mansion is screwed to Hell and back and there's very little that surprises Dean anymore.

Except for when he takes a walk outside, and his tranquility is promptly ruptured by the sight of
his car.  Sure, he's been dwelling on the lack of transportation recently, but still.

His car.

An excited video message from a Dean Winchester that hasn't genuinely smiled in months is being broadcasted, and he'd love to share his obsession one true love beautiful lady with all of you.
]

Dude.  Dude.  My- guys, I can't even...seriously, it's just- it's my baby.  She's here, and she's beautiful, and she's so goddamn perfect.  You all gotta come down and see her.

[He suddenly wonders if he can project miles of endless highway if he thinks about it hard enough.  It's worth a shot.

Dean is so ecstatic that he doesn't even know who he's advertising this information to.

He whistles, and sets his hand on the hood. That's quite a bit faster than anything the Crew has available to them, and he knows it. You have to memorize these things. The speed of the getaway vehicle can factor in to a heist plan, or a hit.
Dean might catch the distant sound of police sirens.

[...well. They're gone now.

Anyway. Where was he?

He nods and puts out his cigarette.

[AWESOME.

He hops into the front seat like it's his job, key in the ignition, just sitting for a moment to revel in the feeling of being home.

It's glorious.

Feel free to sit in the front, Droogsy.

He hesitates when he sees the key go into the ignition, but...oh hell. There's no way that Dean's a worse driver than Slick. Or Boxcars.

He gets in the flivver car.

[DEAN IS THE BEST DRIVER WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT.

The key turns, the engine revs, and the Impala rumbles to life. Dean soaks up the vibrations like it's a Magic Fingers bed.

Then he imagines the highway.

It's long and barely has any hills. Grassy fields flank both sides, and a lone power line runs parallel to the tarmac. The light is subdued - not too bright, but reminiscent of the early start of dusk. The air is clear and clean, and to feel it better Dean rolls down a window.

You ready?

[Dean grins.

Can you say zero to sixty in under ten seconds? Because that's how fast you're going now, tearing across the asphalt like a bat out of Hell.

He has to hang on to his hat so it doesn't fly out the open window, but that's all right. He's a bit of a speed junkie, provided that the ride is smooth. It more than makes up for the inconvenience.

She ain't got the best turning radius- [Or mileage.] -but she drives smooth.

[Just watch as he imagine a curve and handles it perfectly. Dean then leans over to turn on some music (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h44LIiaZhHE).]

What what what are you playing Dean.
Droog thinks you meant to play this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n6jCJZEFIto).

[Dean frowns. What. What the Hell is this. No. You don't change Dean's music. That's like a sin against God.

But maybe Droog just doesn't know. Now he will. Dean changes it to something else (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IyhJ69mD7xI).

Better!
And if Droog had diegetic access to the music video he'd appreciate the sheer amount of badass pool being played. Not to mention the saxophone.

But there's always room for improvement (http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/liquid-negrocity)

[Okay. Okay, fine. Clearly Droog does not understand the "driver picks the music" rule. But there's some sax in there, so Dean can tell he's the jazzy type.

Blues (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJCoUxim2bA) is close enough.

By this point this is just entertainment to him--the event is letting him bicker without lifting a finger. This is so much fun. (http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/hearts-flush)

[Dean's cracks up and raises the volume.

He imagines some coolkid shades.

Now he's wearing them.

Droog lacks the cartilage necessary to wear sunglasses, but hey, he's a pretty cool guy even without them. He smiles and settles back in his seat.
He can't make it fully dark outside, but the daylight might get a little dimmer, nearer to the purples and golds of evening.

[And then they drove into the sunset.

By which the narration means that they drove until Dean's imaginary Midwestern hills turned into scraggly desert brush and cliff edges, and he pulls over on the side of one to stare at a permanently-fixed sunset.
]

I saw this when I was six, man.

[Dean is quiet.]

...You don't see many sunsets like this one.
