CLOSED to Sam + Rowena | Thorne: arrival

[unwings]

[ waking in thorne wasn't the holiday surprise castiel was hoping for, but here we fucking are. after a quick, less than enthused, message to dean, castiel's up and searching around for folks he knows.

sam's easy enough to find. even in a new dimension, the man stands like a fucking redwood in the midst of saplings, and castiel jostles his way through the crowd to get to his side. ]

Sam. Sam! [ he grabs hold of his shoulder as soon as it's within range, giving him a quick, urgent shake before trying to speak above the confused jumble of the crowd. ] Dean's in Solvunn. He said Rowena's here as well. Do you see her?

[ since you have, like, a foot or something worth of height on cas to peer around for someone small and red-haired in the crowd. what do your ent eyes see, samuel? ]

( Sam leaves Lucifer, gets who he can to safety and rushes back to the portals, hoping that everyone will end up where they need to. except that doesn't happen, does it?

dean's in sam's head, but he gets his bearings first, also searching through the group who's ended up here at - the castle thorne if he's right about the surroundings.

cas is by his side in a second and he can at least breathe a little better. dean's accounted for. and cas. )

Rowena!

( he spins around, trying to get a glimpse of her fiery red hair. if dean says so! )

If she's here we'll find her. Rowena!

[magike]

( it's not solvunn, that's the only thing that rowena knows for certain. aside from the two other territories, which is not where she expects to be, she doesn’t know where else exists in this world. solvunn, nocwich, the nether. and apparently more.

but there's a crowd, people that she doesn’t focus on as she starts to move away, to get her own space-- until she hears her name. samuel.

he's distance enough away, she can see his head above other people's, and her magic is quicker to grasp onto than moving through the others, a blink of an eye teleporting her beside both of them )

I didn't expect to see either of you so quickly.

( and not so confusedly either, her expectation was nocwich or the horizon )

[unwings]

[ bloop, there she is. cas is so used to be the one popping up unannouced, he does start half a second as she suddenly appears, but it's quickly replaced with relief. ]

Nor did we. This isn't typically how things happen here.

[ usually you're in your own territory, and the only other territory you can be in is nocwich. generally, it's a big problem if it happens any other way. ]

The last time unexpected visitors arrived in Thorne, I believe they were imprisoned. So we may wish to tread carefully.

[kalesalad]

Then we should stick close together.

( And stay together, should anything happen. )

I familiarized myself with all things Free Cities and Cadens, but not Thorne. What do we need to look out for?

( Besides, being imprisoned. )

[magike]

Lucifer isn't enough?

( it's the one thing that rowena had learned about thorne: lucifer had been held here. not the cities, not solvunn but here. and now she was. as much as she wanted to downplay how she felt these boys knew her too well for her to do that: they'd see through her too easily )

I've heard that magic here is perhaps more familiar to what we know, that they accept it. It may be somewhere to look. In the library, perhaps?
