28: [Video] Hot For Teacher
Oct. 9th, 2011 09:37 pmSo, uh. It's come to my attention that whenever events roll around, everybody's usually running through the halls like chickens with their friggin' heads cut off. So today we're gonna fix that, 'cause this is what I do for a living.
[It appears that Dean is in the kitchen, and has covered an entire countertop with assorted objets d'hunting.]
Got a coupla basics here. Salt. [He lifts up a canister of the stuff.] Purifying chemical compound. Burns ghosts, but won't keep 'em away for long. You can protect yourself by drawing a circle with it and stayin' inside. Iron- [Dean gestures to the crowbar.] Also purifying, harms malevolent spirits.
[With a click, he's got a Zippo lighter out and lit.] Whole bunch of stuff is gonna hafta be burned. [Out goes the lighter.] Usually the remains of a dead person, so you might get your hands dirty, fair warning.
[Dean pockets the Zippo and leans in for a dramatic close-up on the camera.]
Where I come from, monsters are real. And they're not about to go away - especially not in Wonderland. You can either sit here with your thumbs up your asses, or be ready. I'm gonna take questions about whatever stuff you wanna throw at me, so knock yourselves out. Class is in session.

Wait, you sound sort of skeptical. So ghosts get to be real, but witches and wizards are too out there for you?

How's your magic workin' in this place, anyway? I know the mansion tempers stuff for some people.

That aside, I haven't come across anything. I haven't really tried to push the limits of it though, so who knows? My broom works, and so have all the spells I've tried so far, but there might be something.

You guys must be different from the ones we got where I'm from. Witches and warlocks are kind of douchebags. Selling their souls to Satan, killing people. Stuff like that.

Oh, I see. That's a bit rough. There's nothing Satanic about being magical where I'm from, but that doesn't really stop Muggles from assuming so - oh, that's non-magic folk, by the way. So you, in other words.

Anyhow, most of us are just fine. We have our share of horrible people though. [] We have some wizards obsessed with how magical their blood is, and they think Muggles are sort of lesser beings because they aren't magical at all. They also think Muggle-born witches and wizards are somehow not as good as purebloods, but that's just ridiculous. Most of the time, bigots like that will just be snobby and irritating, but unfortunately some of them use the Dark Arts to go out and hurt Muggles and Muggle-borns.

That sounds like it sucks.
