[ Mako's breath stopped somewhere near "we have a problem," and it hasn't restarted. ]

What'd you see?

[ Or not see, as it were: there are quite a few names missing from that, names Mako has inscribed into his journal so he doesn't forget. ]

[righthemisphere]

There are two Sam Winchesters

1 / 2

[arclightning]

[ ... ]

2 / 2

[arclightning]

Error? Or something with timelines? Is that a common name on Earth?

[righthemisphere]

Sam is pretty common but not Winchester.

I don't think the list makes errors?

I mean maybe given the state of this place but I don't know. He's got a brother here in town called Dean. His name was listed twice as well. If anyone knows where Sam is it's him but he won't give up his brother.

In any case I think he's hiding. I had the weirdest dream about him. I didn't think much of it but if you had one two then maybe it means something. I wonder if they're connected.

[arclightning]

[ Not good news at all. Two Sam Winchesters makes it entirely possible that one Sam Winchester traded seeds with Raleigh and an entirely different one murdered Wu in cold blood because he was too nice. It's an easy excuse to hide behind. It would be so easy to lie, to point fingers at the other.

Fuck. ]

We're just going to have to figure out which Sam Winchester is the wolf in sheepgoat's clothing. One of them will crack. One of them did this.

What happened in yours?

[righthemisphere]

[Fuck is right. It's just too easy.]

I'm gonna try Dean, I'll let you know what he says.


I asked Sam why he did it. And he told me.

Yours?

[arclightning]

Thank you, Raleigh.

Basically the same. He looked like Wu at first, and then. Showed himself. I asked the same thing. He told me it was because Wu was so nice and defenseless.

[ It's very lucky that this is over text because Raleigh does not have to hear what would be the venom in Mako's voice, or see the look on his face. ]

[righthemisphere]

[It's not much of a stretch to imagine. There's a similar vitriol in the back of his throat.]

That's what he said to me, too. I woke up before we got much further.

Maybe these weren't just dreams.

[arclightning]

It felt different.

I don't know how to explain what I mean by that but it didn't feel like a regular dream. Everything else around it seemed like a dream and he seemed real.

He said he did it to punish somebody. It wasn't clear if he meant Wu.

[righthemisphere]

He seemed real to me, too.

And I think he did it for fun because he could.

[arclightning]

Yeah.

The worst reason.

What do we do when we find him? Killing him isn't going to solve anything.

[righthemisphere]

I mean, it would make me feel better. That's something.

[arclightning]

He'll just come back. We need a permanent solution, or at least one that lasts longer.

[righthemisphere]

We could bury him alive

[arclightning]

Raleigh

2 /2 oops forgot

[arclightning]

Not an option.

[righthemisphere]

Why?

You got something better?

[arclightning]

Not exactly but burying someone alive is just

We can't do that. Prison, maybe. There are special prisons back home for powerful people like him.

[righthemisphere]

[Look Raleigh never said he wasn't a dark horse.]

I guess.

There are special cells in FEAR. I bet Chuck would know more or Vira-Lorr.

[arclightning]

Right, the ones Ramona had us helping build. The ones that broke.

I just don't think killing him solves anything. Not really. Unless we're willing to do it over and over whenever he comes back.

It could still be Deerington making him do this.

[righthemisphere]

I don't think so.

Maybe if we killed him enough he'd forget he's an evil son of a bitch and we can call it even.

Spoke to Dean, he's not helpful but the way he was talking sounded like they're hiding out together.

[arclightning]

Did Dean act like he knew his brother was a murderer? Did you tell him?

[righthemisphere]

No, and no I didn't. I asked him about running and the seed bank. He sounded guarded but that isn't new for Dean. He doesn't remember me so the relationship I was banking on fell short.

[arclightning]

He woke up and came back, you think?

This is a lot more complicated than I thought. Thanks for the information. I'll try and make sense of it.

[ That's what he does best, after all. ]
