24: [Video] Traveling Riverside Blues
May. 23rd, 2011 12:21 am[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
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.]

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?

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

I saw this when I was six, man.
[Dean is quiet.]
...You don't see many sunsets like this one.
