Fourth floor common room, Sunday night

Dean had all kinds of munchies and was settled in to watch The Amazing Race. He was ready for an entertaining night of doing nothing.

[ooc:open! And Dean would probably even share his munchies. Just not the M&Ms]

Molly winced. She didn't always get along with her mother, but the idea of not having her around was inconceivable. "I'm sorry about your mom."

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"Thanks," Dean said. "So for us demon hunting's kinda the family business."

[grasshopper-mol.livejournal.com]

"Do you fight for someone, or just against the demons?"

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"Fight for?" Dean repeated blankly.

[grasshopper-mol.livejournal.com]

"Like, does someone tell you which demons to go after, or do you just kind of wing it?" Somehow, she didn't asking the cute guy if he fought demons on behalf of God was a great strategy.

"We don't have a boss, if that's what you mean," Dean said. "Strictly freelance. Though we pretty much go after anything like that we come across. It's not like we pick and choose."

[grasshopper-mol.livejournal.com]

"So how do you know where to go?"

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"News reports of weirdness," Dean said. "You learn to spot what might be supernatural weird after a while."

[grasshopper-mol.livejournal.com]

"So...you kill all supernatural stuff?" She wasn't sure if and where she fell on that spectrum, but she wasn't sure that sounded healthy for her.

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"Just the evil ones," Dean clarified.

[grasshopper-mol.livejournal.com]

Molly fidgeted. "How do you decide what's evil?"

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"Generally the body count or lack thereof is a big clue," Dean said.

[grasshopper-mol.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, I guess it would be." She wouldn't kill anyone, so she figured she was safe. Good. "Do you do this a lot?"

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"We used to be on the road all the time chasing down anything and everything," Dean said. "But we've been based here for a few years now. Cuts down on the active hunting."

[grasshopper-mol.livejournal.com]

"Do you miss it?"

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

Dean considered before answering. "Not as much as I thought I would. There's something to be said for having a homebase."

[grasshopper-mol.livejournal.com]

"Are you going to do that after you graduate, too?"

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

Dean nodded. "That's the plan. Someone's gotta be out there saving people and hunting things."

[grasshopper-mol.livejournal.com]

"You sound like my dad, except he doesn't call it hunting."

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"Yeah? What does he call it?" Dean asked curiously.

[grasshopper-mol.livejournal.com]

The inevitable result of a series of coincidences? "Mostly, he calls it going to work. Or maybe waging battle."

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"It's the family business," Dean said in complete understanding.

[grasshopper-mol.livejournal.com]

"Not my family," she grumped. "It's just his holy duty."

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"Like, 'God told him' holy duty?"

[grasshopper-mol.livejournal.com]

More sulking. "Like He's got my dad on speed dial."
