Well, that was fun! I now have a whole new perspective on the saying "sleeping with the fishes." It was much more comfortable than anybody could expect, given the usual context of that saying, hee hee! I don't suppose there's research available on how merfolk sleep. Did I do it like a dolphin, I wonder? Half of the brain awake and vigilant at all times, that's how they don't drown while they're getting shuteye, you know. All of us should aspire to be so on the ball.

It did lack company, but I don't mind taking a day or two here and there to stop and smell the anemones. That joke would go over better if there was actually a sea creature named after a flower that I could reference. Is there a marine biologist in the house? Help a brother out. [Another giggle.]

In conclusion, the only serious disappointment was the lack of singing, dancing, choreographed wildlife bursting into song and dance at random. Maybe one of these days we can look forward to a whaddyacallem where everyone is changed into some form of fluffy woodland creature, singing his or her little heart out - dancing if you can't sing, obviously. The choreography there would really be something to watch, I'm sure. Or maybe that's happened already? Somebody tell me if it has. I'll be so sad to have missed it, but I'll make do with hand-me-down stories anyhow.

[Somebody was transformed to mer...folk during that Flood! He spent his days beneath the glassy waves, observing other people with interest. Now in retrospect it is equal parts fun to remember, and annoying.]

Nothing much. Drinks, games. Some people fight and murder each other, but I'm not really into that.

Perish the thought, hee hee. What kind of games?

Pool, cards. That kind of stuff. There's a library too.

I did find the library... [Lovely place.] What card games?

Poker, blackjack. Your normal bunch of shady guys in a room games.

Let's play sometime.

Sure thing. But I warn you, I'm pretty good. Got a good poker face.

A challenge is more fun anyway! Do you have some other friends you play with?

Dean Winchester is normally a pretty good bet. Wanda as well.

Excellent. Maybe I'll see if I can't scare up some other contenders. There's no harm in changing up the game, is there?

None at all. It keeps things exciting.

Speaking of excitement, do you lot play for anything in particular? Money isn't much use around these parts, is it.

We don't tend to play for anything. Wardens don't see the point in playing for booze and money isn't worth anything.

Maybe a little imagination can heighten the stakes, hm? Which of your friends are the Wardens?

Dean Winchester is our resident actually fairly cool warden.

Oh, he's cool, is he. He doesn't get sanctimonious while rubbing elbows with the damned?

Not that I know of?

Good to hear. Maybe we can see about a game, then.

We should. If nothing else, it'll burn a few hours.

It's a date. [And he giggles.]

Oh, what's your name again?

Barron Sharpe, although I'm not actually a baron. You?

Friends call me Joshua. Pleased to meet you.

Good to meet you too, man. Sometimes it's hard to run into people that aren't completely nuts around here.

Really? Most of the people I've spoken to so far seem at least halfway tolerable. Not that I'd want to be trapped on a deserted island with any of them... but they'll do.

[A put-upon little sigh.]

Most people seem fine until they try to kill you. I'm just saying.
