[A long pause, almost like a prank call. There's just... soft breathing for a little while.]

Hey. It's...Tom.

[socius]

[The silence is almost as long on her side.]

.. Hey Tom.

[tom-hanniger.livejournal.com]

[Shit, this was stupid. He shouldn't have called.]

So. They let me out.

[socius]

[Don't be silly. It might not be the greatest timing but.]

They did? What happened? [And hey, she's genuinely curious. Had he gotten help?]

[tom-hanniger.livejournal.com]

[As if it's no big deal. BUT IT REALLY IS, but you don't need to know that.] I'm in a program, thing. They're gonna fix me.

I thought I... should probably let you know. In case we bump into each other or something.

[He doesn't want to scare her 8( ]

[socius]

[..Yeah to be honest she might have thought he was Dean (again) if he hadn't told her he'd been let out.]

That's- That's good. I mean. ..How've you been?

[tom-hanniger.livejournal.com]

Fine. I guess. [The remnants of an empty half-laugh]

Went on a cruise, saw The Pyramids, you know.

[gotbackupagain.livejournal.com]

[A laugh that's vaguely imitated.]

Are you okay?

[tom-hanniger.livejournal.com]

I think so, yeah. For the first time in a long time, actually.

...

Are you?

[socius]

Good! That's good. [And then silence on her end.]

Yeah. I'm. Kinda. I'm okay.

[tom-hanniger.livejournal.com]

What's wrong?

[socius]

... Just a lot of things from home popping up. [You know. Like the Devil. And Sam. Who is being very frustrating.]

[tom-hanniger.livejournal.com]

[Winchesters have that bad habit.]

Do you want to talk about it?

[socius]

[More lengthy pauses.]

You don't really need to listen to my woes when you just. Got out of jail. It's okay.

[tom-hanniger.livejournal.com]

Nah. C'mon, I'm sick of thinking about my problems.

[socius]

So you'd rather think about someone else's? I don't think that's how it's supposed to work. [Just a little laugh.]

It's just... Finding out a lot about myself. [...] And Lucifer is here. From.. My world. [And I think we're related.]

[tom-hanniger.livejournal.com]

Lucifer? Like, The Devil? Or..

[socius]

Like The Devil.

[tom-hanniger.livejournal.com]

... Wow. That's...special.

[socius]

I wouldn't call it that..

[tom-hanniger.livejournal.com]

I was thinking "Pretty fucked up" but, you know.

What's his deal?

[socius]

I don't.. Know what it is here. If it's the same as back home then we could all be in big trouble. Lucifer is the one who'll bring the End. The Apocalypse.

[Sounds like she's said that a million times.]

[tom-hanniger.livejournal.com]

[And here he thought she would be bummed out over a bad date or apartment problems.]

It's all angels and demons with you guys, huh.

[socius]

[You're good at getting these long, drawn out silences aren't you?]

More or less.

[tom-hanniger.livejournal.com]

[About as good as he is giving them.]

You should get out more. Have fun. Find a guy.

[He may have stumbled over that a little, but he means well. Honest.]
