Fourth floor common room, Monday morning

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

Dean didn't have any classes today and figured he could start off the term by making breakfast for whoever happened by. And if no one happened by, then there'd just be a lot of food for him to eat.

Really, there wasn't any bad here.

[ooc: open like a common room is, now with more free breakfast!]w

"Um, I guess. Yeah, sure. Thanks." She came a little farther into the room. "Is this like a regular thing? People cooking in the common rooms?"

"It's not too rare," Dean said. "Not like constant or anything, but yeah, food gets made a lot. I'm Dean by the way."

[darkangelsawyer.livejournal.com]

"Sorry, yeah, hi, Dean, I'm Peyton." She'd have offered to shake his hand, but they seemed a little busy. "Anything I can do to help?"

"I think I've got it under control, but feel free to grab a plate and eat," Dean told her.

"Sounds like you've been here a while," Peyton said, taking a look at what was set out. "What do you think of the place?'

"It's pretty awesome," Dean said. "'Course it's probably even weirder than it is awesome so..." He shrugged. "You get used to the weird though."

[darkangelsawyer.livejournal.com]

"I guess weird is something I've had some experience with," Peyton admitted. "Though not aliens and magic and other universes weird. But at least today I'm not feeling like I want to get into my car and drive home."

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"That's good," Dean said. "What weird do you have experience with?"

[darkangelsawyer.livejournal.com]

"The ordinary teenager stuff," she admitted. "Finding out you're adopted when your birth mother shows up at your door. Having your boyfriend leave town after his daughter's mother shows up and kidnaps her. Creepy emails and IM's... That kind of thing."

"I think I prefer ghosts and demons."

[darkangelsawyer.livejournal.com]

She blinked at him. "Ghosts and demons?"

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

Dean nodded. "My family's brand of weird. We're hunters. Of ghosts and demons and the like."

[darkangelsawyer.livejournal.com]

"O-kay..." She shook her head a little. "That beats the other weirds all to hell."

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"Oh there's people with weirder stories going here," Dean said easily. "But hey, hunting is kinda cool for a family business."

[darkangelsawyer.livejournal.com]

"My dad's 'family business' is dredging," Peyton said. "This is sort of way outside the realms of my experience. But I guess if you like it..."

"Kicking evil butt can be pretty awesome," Dean said.

[darkangelsawyer.livejournal.com]

"I'll take your word for it," Peyton said. "I think I'd be scared to death."

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"Once you know how to deal with them, they're not as scary," Dean said. He may be exaggerating just a little here.

[darkangelsawyer.livejournal.com]

"Right..."

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"Trust me. Nothing is as scary if you know what it is."

[darkangelsawyer.livejournal.com]

She thought about that for a moment. "Maybe... I guess once my dad told me the truth about being adopted I was a lot less scared. Still really upset, maybe even more upset, but I didn't have that incredibly sick feeling in my stomach anymore."

"People can get used to anything given a chance," Dean said, though privately he thought finding out you were adopted would be a hell of a lot worse than facing down a demon.

[darkangelsawyer.livejournal.com]

"I suppose," she said. "I mean, what choice do you have after all?"

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"There is that."

[darkangelsawyer.livejournal.com]

"Yeah. So... Any idea who owns the really cool car across the causeway?"
