Blackout, blackout!

Who: The residents of Cape Kore
Where: The center of town, near the ruined fountain
When: Day 100
What: Stane gathered some supplies for a community fire. Consider this a party-style post reacting to the lack of power and the loss of the communicators.

After the power goes out, Stane spends a few minutes standing stock still in the room, holding his breath and waiting for it to come back, but he doesn't waste too much time lingering in that kind of hopefulness. People are going to need things; they're going to need fire to cook and boil water, and they're going to need to do something about the food that's going to spoil.

It's so important that he helps them. It's so important that he helps them stay alive. Maybe the dream sharing is getting to him, maybe it's made his nightmares... feel real, but...

They're going to survive this. He's determined.

He gathers some wood that can be used for firewood and kindling, and he leaves them in the center of the town; he has no way of announcing that the things are there, really, but he cups his hands around his mouth and shouts a general Go to the fountain! Maybe someone will hear him.

[Dean is so missing out on the soft cheesy deliciousness.] It's been refrigerated most of the time I've been here. I took it out for a day. I find it to be a handy portable snack.

[Honestly, Dean, how do you not know what Brie is. It's like he's spent his whole life eating at truck stop diners or something. Dirk nods to Dean's warning as he takes the cup, then peels away the edge of the plastic wrap from his parcel and shows it to Dean. It smells pretty delicious if you've got a thing for soft cheeses.] Cheese.

[ Cheese is an odd food group for Dean. It's good covered in burger grease, accompanied by the burger, but Sam also likes to eat this stuff as a snack and it's healthy or something, and Dean doesn't know how he feels about that. But maybe he shouldn't turn down food when it's offered; they're running low and this blackout won't really help matters much.

He gathers up his courage and takes a piece of the cheese, and he slowly eats it, his nose wrinkling the longer it's in his mouth.

It's not good or bad though. It's not quite what he was expecting. ]


The hell kind of cheese... Is this one of those fancy ones? What's with that hard part there?
zen_navigator: (welp)

[personal profile] zen_navigator 2013-08-12 08:53 pm (UTC)(link)
You eat the hard part too. It's good. And full of beneficial cultures. [Okay, so maybe 'it's good for you and full of bacteria' isn't the best tack to take with Dean. If it helps, the soft part is pretty much entirely fat?]

[But whatever, Dean, he's not going to make him eat the cheese if he doesn't want it. He awkwardly breaks off a portion for himself and takes a bite. Mouth half full, he adds,] Fancy is subjective. It's widely available.
venatical: (? i totally know what that means...)

[ "Full of cultures?" Dean's perfectly fine with not upping his cultural intake; he doesn't go to art museums for a reason, okay. He's allergic to mindnumbing boredom. ]

Yeah, well, I'm happy with good ol' American cheese. The more it tastes like plastic, the better it is.

[Lol, Dean, wrong kind of cultures.] I don't mind either variety. I have and hopefully will once more eat cheese that comes out of a can. [He just likes food in general, really. The worse for you the better, generally. Don't get him started on pizza.]

[He finally takes a sip from his glass and immediately makes a face.] Jeezus.

That's the stuff. Directly from can to mouth, don't pass Go, don't collect unnecessary shit like bread and crackers.

[ He can't help but be a little amused at his reaction to the moonshine though. And hey, he's not a demon; this is the holy water moonshine. Always nice to have that confirmation. ]

Moonshine. Pretty fresh. This is the weaker of the batches, so... [ He hides his -- no, he doesn't hide his smirk at all, nevermind. ] Hey, guaranteed not to make you blind, though, so there's something.

I am brimming with joy at that information, truly. So many good things in life have nothing to recommend them but that they do not cause sudden blindness. [Feeeel the sarcasm. He takes another sip, though. This time he's prepared, so doesn't make a face at the taste.] Thank you.
venatical: (:) :| hmmm?)

[ Rude. Dean gives him a look. ] Remind me to tell Ellen to let you try the next batch and see if it's safe.

[ You know... If they're even talking. But he doesn't have to know that. ]
