[That's mildly horrifying. Ten years had felt a lifetime to John. A few thousand is just... impossible to even imagine.]

Did you have any dreams, yourself? Separate from him?

[godsspeed]

Uh. [ He pauses, thinking. ] A lot, I think, but I don't remember them all that well. Probably just means they weren't vision-dreams like the rest of you. Plus it kind of... got difficult, telling what was a dream and what wasn't after the first few. Decades.

[jumpthegun]

[This is... awkward. John decides to get off the topic. He's not really interested in small-talk, but he feels sorry for the man. And there's really nothing better to do apart from sulk in misery.]

Right. Um... so you're about for a while, then. Anything you're planning to do, particularly?

[godsspeed]

Castiel was headed towards the school when the anomaly got us, and I'm pretty close to a maintenance tunnel entrance, so I was thinking about going down there to see just how much faster it is.

[ Don't think he doesn't notice that hesitation though, John. ]

If this is a bad time I can, uh. Call you back?

[jumpthegun]

No, it's not. I just... it's been a hard day. Sorry. I do want to talk to you.

[Just not right now.]

You mean the high school, right? Why was he heading there?

[godsspeed]

I think he thought he could do the most good helping explore the new areas as they opened up, or at least bringing supplies down so other people could. He found a tent a while back that looks like it.... might hold up to the elements?

[ Jimmy sounds pretty unsure of that, honestly. ]

And if that's the case [ ssssomehow ] it'd make heading into unmapped areas a lot less risky.

[jumpthegun]

Hold onto that, then. It doesn't make any sense, but those tents are life-savers, mate. And, uh... good luck. I hope we can open up the new area soon. Feels like we've been circling for a long time now.
