Who'll make his mark
The captain cried
To the devil drink a toast
We'll glut the hold
With cups of gold
And we'll feed the sea with ghosts
I see your hunger for a fortune
Could be better
Served beneath my flag
If you've the stomach
For a broadside
Come aboard my pretty boys
I will take you and make you
Everything you've ever dreamed.

Obscenely loud music is blaring from one of the first floor parlors, and it possesses a remarkable nautical quality that borders on the fucking epic.  You might be wondering the reason for these festive tunes, curious resident.  If you happen to be peering through your communicator or walking down the hall, venturing into the nearest open door, your vision is assaulted by a swath of colorful fabrics draped over the furniture, from the ceilings, along the walls.  The alluring glitter of gold winks up at you from piles on the floor, and a bust of someone who looks suspiciously like Edward Teach is bedecked in jewelry and scarves.

The captain rose from a silk divan
With a pistol in his fist
And shot the lock from an iron box
And a blood red ruby kissed
I give you jewelry of turquoise
A crucifix of solid gold
One hundred thousand silver pieces
It is just as I foretold
You, you see there before you
Everything you've ever dreamed.

You might even see Dean Winchester, sporting an eyepatch and a large, plumed hat, lounging on a silk divan.  His jeans are tucked into heavy leather boots and he's wielding a flintlock pistol, cleaning the barrel with a chamois rag.  Pausing for one moment, he sets the gun aside and reaches over to pick up one of the gold doubloons scattered across the floor.  He then peels away the leafing and pops the chocolate money into his mouth, enjoying it with obvious relish.  Turning the music down as soon as it breaks to an instrumental interlude, Dean crosses his legs on the divan, getting comfortable.

He pulls out a hip flask, taking a swig and saluting the camera with his left hand - observant residents might notice that he appears to have only four fingers now.  Then he spreads his arms to welcome the adoring audience.

"All aboard, bitches."

[ooc; This is just gonna be reserved for The Operator, Dean, and Castiel to write in. But if you enjoy disembowelment, feel free to read~]

There are a lot worse things that Dean Winchester could be doing with his time than hunting down something that he isn't completely, one-hundred percent knowledgeable about.

Vampires are easy.  Cut the head off.

Werewolves shot with a silver bullet.

Ghosts?  Salt and burn the remains.

But reapers...the last time Dean's seen a reaper, he was hanging in limbo, waiting to die in a hospital.  It wasn't so bad, then.  It had taken the form of a young woman named Tessa, startlingly pretty and unfailingly sympathetic to the mortality of humans.  Infinitely wise.  His first experience had been less pleasant.  Dean's first real brush with death was a little over a year ago: heart attack thanks to a fuck-up with a 10,000 Volt stun-gun trying to kill something on the job, and he landed an all-expenses-paid trip to the Great Beyond.  Prognosis wasn't good: Six weeks, at best.  But a local faith healer had cured him, at the price of someone else's life.  Someone controlled a reaper.

Someone was playing God.

In those last moments of consciousness when Faith Healer Roy Le Grange had laid hands upon him, Dean saw a tall, pale man in a dark suit.

The Operator obviously isn't going to play nice.  Dean can't reason with it, like he did with Tessa.  There's the chance that it could be controlled by someone, the way Le Grange's reaper was, but everyone in this godforsaken place is scared of the damn thing, so that's outta the cards.  Maybe it just went rogue.

"Aaaaand I don't even know how the Hell I'm s'posed to kill it," Dean mutters to himself, snapping his father's journal shut and tucking it into his duffel bag.  He's armed with a decent amount of weapons, ranging from salt-rounded shotguns to silver knives - because you can't take any chances with Death - and an angel.

Dean takes a deep breath, staring up at the forbidding woods with a tight frown on his face.

"You ready, Cas?"
dashboardlite: (Ohhh that's nice.)
A fast-paced guitar riff is playing, and the comm unit appears to be placed in its usual spot - the hulking desk by the window.  A little light is streaming in, and the room would be fairly dim if not for the tall floor lamp in the corner.  The music, a less-popular piece by Foreigner, thrums around the room and is soon accompanied by a heavy roll of steam from one side of the frame.  It's coming from the bathroom.  Once the lyrics start, though, the vocals are not those of American-born-and-bred singer, Lou Gramm, but Dean Winchester's low, throaty, almost-crooning voice.

"Hey baby, if you're feeeeeeeling down, I know what's good for you all day," The man hop-skips out of the bathroom, steam swirling around his head, clad in nothing more than a towel.  He's got a hairbrush in one hand and is singing into it pretty soulfully.  "Are you worried what your friends see?  Will it ruin your reputation lovin' me?  'Cause I'm a dirty white boy - dirty white boy!"  Dean slides along the wall, still wet, feet squeaking on the polished wood floor.  "Dirty white boy - dirty white boy!  Diiiiirty white booooy!"

He manages to make it through the second verse passably well, tossing clothes out of his bag here and there in search of, no doubt, a particular flannel shirt.  "I've been in trouble since I don't know when, I'm in trouble now, and I know - somehow, I'll find trouble again!  'Cause I'm a dirty white boy, diiiiiiiiiiirty whiiiite boyYeeeaaaaaah!"

Once the instrumental break hits, so does the air-guitaring.

He appears to have noticed nothing at all aside from his singing and fairly poor excuse for dancing, but the show must be amusing.  Dean slides to a finish, whipping his head to one side and wiping his brow, tossing the hairbrush on the bed.  Panting, he glances casually over to the comm unit and realizes that the red RECORDING button is on.

Eyes widening to exponential proportions, he bolts to the camera with a muffled laugh and a well-placed "Shit", offering a broad expanse of chest before switching the camera off with a near-deafening click.
