[ Sure is. Enjoy, Dean sure is. ]

Really? You?

[ he is so surprised and yet so delighted. ]

[pabugotmoves]

[He nods]

We were kind of working for a gang at the time? Anyway, we were collecting a bet at the pet store and little baby Pabu here escaped his cage. He was gonna be pythonaconda food. We didn't have the money to buy him so I snuck in that night. Little guy just had so much fight, I couldn't let him get eaten.

[venatoris]

[ the fuck ]

A-- [ there's a lot to unpack there, so he just shakes his head and takes another drink. ]

Well, good. Sounds like he's doing much better with you, that's for sure.

[pabugotmoves]

[This guy? A street criminal? You better believe it.]

Oh for sure, he's my heart and soul. He's saved me so many times and no one pranks Mako better than Pabs.

[Pabu gives a soft whistle in agreement from his position on Dean's chest. He sleeps on Bolin like this every night,. Very dedicated hot water bottle.]

[venatoris]

Yeah, I get that. I'm glad you've got him. Plus, A+ for pranks. I used to prank Sam a lot.

[ til he turned into a sourpuss and consequently a monster ]

[pabugotmoves]

[Bolin smiles softly and takes another sip of his bottle. It won't be long before his cheeks are bright pink.]

It's pretty fun.

Or was. I dunno. Makos hasn't been himself, lately.

[venatoris]

Yeah...it used to be fun with Sam. He's...not himself, either.

[ just a monster in the basement. ]

[pabugotmoves]

Brothers, huh.

What's up with Sam?

[venatoris]

Mmm...He doesn't have a soul, and he's a corrupted monster in the basement because Cas tried some spell and it backfired in his face.

[ sip ]

1/2

[pabugotmoves]

[pabugotmoves]

What.

[venatoris]

Trench is a hell of a ride, man.

[pabugotmoves]

...

[Bolin very visibly tries to process this information before taking a very long drink. Fffhhh it burnssss]

Like a monster monster??

[venatoris]

Yeah. The whole corruption beast hood shebang.

[pabugotmoves]

Yikes... And I thought I had problems.

What are we going to do? I think Mako is getting corrupted, I don't want him to turn into a monster. How do we fix Sam??

[venatoris]

I...don't know. I don't know what to do. BEasthood is apparently hard to heal and I don't..

[ god. ]

I dunno, Bolin.

[pabugotmoves]

Castiel can't heal him?

[venatoris]

It's more a matter of finding it and shoving it back in.

[ woooosah ]

[pabugotmoves]

.. huh.

I didn't know a person could be without a soul. I thought a person was the soul.

I'm sorry, that's really scary. Can I help?

[venatoris]

Yeah, that's what I thought, too. But apparently that isn't the case where I'm from.

[ he ponders. ]

Well. You can be on the lookout for it. I know it's here, somewhere. I asked Mariana, but she wasn't able to give me a direct answer. Just that it's here and to look on Orion's belt, which...doesn't make a lot of sense.

[pabugotmoves]

Orion's belt huh.. who's Orion? Maybe we could just ask him for it?

[venatoris]

It's a star constellation. Kinda makes it hard to ask.

And..I don't think it's a constellation that's here, either.

[pabugotmoves]

Oh.. right. That makes more sense.

[kind of]

Hm.. toughie. I bet Mako would know. He's a detective.

..but not a star detective.

Who knows about stars... Lance maybe? He knows all about space. Or Usagi? She's a moon princess or something I think. Raleigh knows about stars.. ooh ooh or Obi-Wan? I think he's some kind of star priest. Maybe he can.. bless Sam's soul back?

[venatoris]

[ He doesn't know Lance or Usagi, but he isn't gonna brush it off. He'll tuck the names in his head, just in case. ]

Well, I actually talked to Obi-Wan. Unfortunately, he can't help.

[pabugotmoves]

Oh.. hm. No good, then.

You could try Never Mind? He knows literally everything and has a whole school. I bet there's something in there.

..or.. a bloodminister? I think this is their job, actually. I've never met one personally.

[Scattershot brainstorming over here]
