[This week on the Barge, an older, somewhat new face is lurking about, obsessively checking a fob watch chained to his pocket and walking awkwardly through the halls. Those who were here in October during the mirror Barge may recognize the man as a disguised Davy Jones, struggling to grow comfortable in his human skin. He still limps carefully, but seems to be enjoying his relative anonymity]


[Private to Sylvanas; Voice]

D'yeh have a moment to spare for an old sailor, m'lady?

Then you think you'd be used to being annoyed by now. Like oxygen.

Well, you just have a smartass answer for everything, don't you?

Is that what I'm doing?

[But he's quick to change the subject, squinting at the older man speculatively.]

You any good with tools?

Would I be considered obnoxious or... [He has to actually find the word, because Dean doesn't do this; he doesn't vocalize this, though he masks it by pursing his lips out amusingly before becoming abruptly serious again.] Impertinent, I guess, if I asked you for a hand with some stuff?

Peter's not around, and my woodworker ran off to have a baby.

How to keep a ship afloat.

[Dean's reply is immediate and flat. He lets Davy look for whatever he wants because he knows from experience that the kinds of things that people look at him like that in search of? He simply doesn't have in him.

The hunter is dishonest, but not in the ways most people are.

Cars are my thing. You hand me a wrench and fifteen minutes and I'll name you the cause of every sound any vehicle you put me to is making, but this place? Mostly I'm just stubborn and I been here too long.

No?

You know something about him that I don't? Because he's allowed pretty much everything else under the damn sun to happen - I figure that's somewhere on the list of what's left.

[And here is the surest sign that it's a trap, if it's any kind of trap at all: Dean doesn't even have to think. He'll finish up the light, both because he already started it and because he doesn't expect Jones knows what to do with electricity just yet.

Instead, back and shoulders straightening somewhat unconsciously under the scrutiny but still calm:
] I got some tables from the dining hall up in the office, need their legs bent back straight. I'm not sure who bent 'em or how, but no one else needs any ideas.

You up for it?

Awesome.

It ain't hard work if you know how to do it.

[Which Dean does, but maybe it's still the Winchester and Jones from that other Barge, maybe it's the kind of social skills he's learning here, but he's content to give back what dignity he can with the comment. He collects his step ladder before indicating the stairwell with his chin.]

Yeah, I'd love to do that? But I eat at the same goddamn tables. Office is this way.

Yeah, sure, 'cause that's what we need: more reasons for inmates to hate us for getting special treatment.

[Dean shakes his head.] Honestly there'd be just as much trouble as in the main hall - no sense splitting the security.

True.

[Dean shrugs. He's accepted that a long time ago, much as it goes against his nature to accept anything.]

Maybe. We don't...

Wait a second. Wardens eat in the main room all the damn time. Did you just not notice?

[This seems unlikely to Dean, but there's always a possibility.]

[Yeah that was the option that seemed more likely.

Dean is unimpressed with this, curse.

Well shit, that'll kill anyone's sense of joy faster'n just about anything.

Can you and you just don't need to, or?

Well shit.

[It seems the most appropriate thing to say. Not that he's giving up, and there's a flash of that obvious before he shrugs and moves on, but there's nothing more he can do about it now anyway.]

Alright, job interview time: got any hobbies? Areas of expertise?
