You can't. Not mathematically. Three viable targets. If you think I'm letting you go after anyone alone. Or, with Jaqueline as your partner-in-witch-crime, or the walking Polo. It's you and me. Always. Until the end. In a shower of sparks. Except, you and me, we're growing fucking old together. In witch - old, like, MaCleod old. You're not dying and I'm not going anywhere. End of discussion.

( He gets a bit carried away, but he means it all. )

...Or, say whatever you want to say, whenever you want to say it because you have equal parts in this. Have you thought which prong we need to hit? Or, who we're enlisting to help? Five of us can't carry six targets, can we.

No. But I have already started on the making sure they can't come back part. Sam Winchester was involved in my favor for Allison Argent and I've got him and his brother hunting down the original corpses.

[If there are corpses, that is. He's not going to comment on whether or not they're growing old together, because he's not about making promises he can't keep.]

I figured it was worth giving them a boon in return. And our little venture into the swamp was successful. So it might be worth it to give Sam and Dean some time. But as far as order goes, I'm not sure.

Salting and burning is usually the part hunters don't dick up.

( He doesn't need to trust the Winchesters to trust this job won't fail, because his husband trusts them. )

Pretty macabre boon.

[personal profile] maleficum 2023-03-13 02:29 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, well. I gave them a blank check and it's the Winchesters, so I assume that will comeback to bite us on the ass later.

[Please don't get caught in another fucking apocalypse.]

If they don't drag you into another apocalypse.

( Husbands think alike.

While we do the heavy lifting. Mexico City, Louisiana, three sets of parents - and -

[personal profile] maleficum 2023-03-13 02:51 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, well. We need to make some actual plans first. Reach out to some allies.

[He takes a beat.]

Find Kirsanov. I don't like leaving him as a loose end.

You graduate med school, you think you leave homework behind, but every surgery, every clandestine witch operation requires homework.

( But, he'd rather be doing it with his husband, than without. )

We plan, we wait, we -- pull the trigger.

[David nods, before turning back to him with a smile.]

But until then, we keep things business as usual. We don't want to give them any reason to suspect.

Which means back to the compound we go.

( He thinks about that. )

If Dean and Sam Winchester are involved, than so are Elena and whoever else is with them. Maybe I should reach out.

I was thinking maybe what's left of the Gemini Coven might be willing too.

[Not that he thinks they owe him anything, but of any of them want a little revenge and want to take the risk, then who is he to deny them.]

I could reach out to Jo.
praevaricatio: (forward)

[personal profile] praevaricatio 2023-03-13 03:38 am (UTC)(link)
There's a Gemini at the armory. Think Elena might extend her own boon? Or Bonnie?

( He agrees, they should reach out. )
maleficum: (14)

[personal profile] maleficum 2023-03-13 03:48 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe. But Bonnie's got a bigger problem on her hands at the moment. We'll see where we're at once the solstice passes.

[If the Knightsbridge power is taken out of the Colony's hands, then that's a step in their favor. But there will still be a Gauntlet.]

Regroup. I want it on record, I don't like being against the ropes.

( Not. One. Bit. )
maleficum: (10)

[personal profile] maleficum 2023-03-14 12:14 am (UTC)(link)
Neither do I. But until this is over? You might want to get comfortable there.

[Because the more comfortable they are, the better they'll react when the time comes.]
praevaricatio: (level)

[personal profile] praevaricatio 2023-03-14 12:34 am (UTC)(link)
I don't get comfortable. And neither should you.

( Isn't there a difference between getting comfortable and staying at the ready? )
maleficum: (12)

[personal profile] maleficum 2023-03-14 12:53 am (UTC)(link)
Not that kind of comfortable.

[Familiar, maybe?]

I mean more that I need you ready for fight not freeze.

[personal profile] praevaricatio 2023-03-14 12:54 am (UTC)(link)
And not flight. All of the above and then some. Don't worry about me, Gainor.

( He's going to be okay. Everything is going to be okay. It has to be. )
maleficum: (11)

[personal profile] maleficum 2023-03-14 01:03 am (UTC)(link)
I'm always going to worry about you.

[But in the nice husband way, not the you're going to be a liability way.]

But whatever comes at us, we do it together.

And if it comes down to it. Burn down the world.

( Simplicity. )
maleficum: (11)

[personal profile] maleficum 2023-03-14 01:35 am (UTC)(link)
Probably could use the chance to rebuild anyway.

[Maybe they'd do it better the second time around. But with that, they finish their drinks and head to their temporary home for the evening so David can take a real shower.]
