Summary: Remember that program Family Feud? This is that, but Supernatural flavored. Categories are all based on sometimes fun and often tragic laced things from their universe. It's Hunters and Humans vs. Angels and Demons with a Leviathan judge and Death hosting. Welp....

The Story:

So Death wanted nothing to do with this event. Nothing at all. He kept to himself as much as he could. Remaining invisible as long as he pleased tended to keep him out of anything and everything. He was under the impression by now that he could avoid being sucked into whatever everybody else here was experiencing. Even for a thing like himself though, he supposed that this place had not had its fill with him. Successfully dodging most of the events, save for that annoying little shadow of his, was far too simple. No. Something truly awful was waiting for him and, little did he know it, but an entire group that he knew and tolerated in varying degrees.

He just so happened to be on his way towards the library when everything went dark. Somewhere in there, distinctly felt the presence of all of those individuals and he realized with seething disappointment that he was not going to escape this so easily and neither were any of them.

(ooc: Basically this is Death and every single person involved in this log walking into the library at the same instant and everything going black. Note: I personally started out with prose, but I have no problem whatsoever writing in action if that is the majority.)

Comments

General meeting/WTF is going on

[thepalehorseman]

[This is the layout of the studio everybody will find themselves in. The names of families will be behind both sets of contestants. This is a Hunters and Humans vs. Angels and Demons deal, but feel free to come up with family names. Everybody will get a big 'ol gaudy nametag on their chest and a microphone in front of each of them. The sides will definitely be a little bit off, but this really isn't meant to be all that fair. At the center of it all is Death and he is in a cheap suit looking none too pleased.

This is the place where your characters get to wonder where the hell they are and I'm sure most have already gone through a few scenarios by now. Generally mingle here between your fellow friends, families, enemies, etc. before the game gets into full swing. And there is some sort of corny jingle playing.]

[thepalehorseman]

Death liked his suits as much as the next well-dressed being and that much would never change. There was something particularly grating on him that he held a microphone in his hand and standing behind a podium. If that was not enough, there was an entire studio of people cheering and just...this was one of those key moments where he would really like to obliterate this universe once and for all. Add in a little of that awful music to introduce a show and it was a recipe of everything Death despised. Going back to being completely solitary was not so bad when confronted with a live studio audience full of the most annoying little protozoa this side of this fake pocket universe. Looking down at his hands, he was definitely holding onto a set of notecards with worthless trivia on it.

He had been out of his box long enough to know where this was going. Everybody else was separated into two groups behind a longer set of podiums. Death did not have to turn, but he certainly did. Family Feud: The Supernatural Edition. Wonderful. He pursed his lips as he turned to face the still extremely irritating audience and gave the most fake looking smile he possibly could. If this was anything like those other events, he was just going to have to go along with it. Somebody was going to pay for this one way or the other.

By the time he was getting that annoying little introduction with him as the host, he was ready to smite everybody.

[tryingitall]

Balthazar doesn't like this situation at all. Any time a large group of people from his dimension gets together is bound to be volatile. (Hell, just two of them getting together was supposed to lead to Armageddon, right?) On top of that, Death doesn't look happy. At all. Balthazar slumps against the wall and tries to project, with body language, that this totally was not his idea.

Still, he recognizes they do have to go along with it, so after a moment he gives a weak smile and a small, uncomfortable wave at the 'studio audience'.

He's watched this show once or twice, at least. This can't end too badly, right?

...right? Wrong.

[lowkeyangel]

This whole thing pretty much has 'Gabriel' written all over it. Except, strangely, it doesn't. The angel himself is none too pleased about this event, and the event's been joyfully annoying him at every turn with his own tricks. This show? It's the last straw, as far as Gabriel's concerned, in a series of last straws, and the stormy glint to his eyes says as much.

He's smiling, though, as he always does and gives the audience a cheesy two-gun salute. Only those who really know Gabriel — and they do seem to be chiefly here — can tell from his tense body language that he's anything but thrilled to be here.

[unclebadass]

Everybody looks vaguely -- or not so vaguely, hello Death -- pissed off, and Bobby's one of them. His particular type of grump is furrowed brow, jutted lip and arms crossed over chest while he scans the room with a mix of agitated confusion and incredulous nostalgia. This looks like one of those shows Karen used to watch.

What's really driving him nuts, though, is how silent everyone else is. Slouching, telling glances, forced smiles -- but not a damn one of them is saying anything.

So Bobby volunteers.

"Anybody want to tell me what the hell is going on?"

[ofletters]

If he hadn't already suffered through somebody's messed-up TV Land, Sam would be more frazzled. Except he has, and so the younger Winchester stands near some of the people who likely won't try and kill him, arms crossed over his chest, casting the rest of the crowd that he (unfortunately) knows a scrutinizing look.

"I think it's Family Feud," he mutters in response to Bobby, shifting his weight from foot to foot. Yeah, this isn't going to end well.

"It's another of Wonderland's... uh, games. Mandatory participation, and all."

[righteously]

Sam's standing next to people who won't likely try and kill him, but Dean looks like he's likely to kill everyone. Yeah, he's watched enough daytime television to know exactly what this is, and he also knows exactly what this is. He's been wondering what kinda even this place was gonna hurl them into from the world they're from, and all things considered? This is probably one of the least deadly options. Probably. It's also probably one of the most annoying, and it's not any more fun the second time around.

"Great. Freakin' fantastic." He snarks it out darkly. "Because there's no way feuding families could go wrong or anything."

And if he's shooting Gabriel a look that's a little too pissed, well, sue him. We all know who's fault this is, don't we?

[lightgunhustler]

"I'd make some comment about how it could be worse, but that'd only jinx us." Jo is standing near Bobby and the Winchester brothers, her arms folded over her chest and looking incredibly unimpressed, same as most everyone else. Her rage level isn't quite as high as some of the others, but she's never cared much for the normal edition of Family Feud. This version?

This could only go poorly.

She catches Dean giving Gabriel a meaningful look and raises her eyebrows, also looking towards the archangel - though as far as she knows, he's nothing more than a Trickster. Come to think of it, this does have Trickster written all over it.

"Did you do this?" Be honest with her, Loki - if you're capable of it.

[strongeralone]

Screw all this polite conversation, quiet glares, and waves at the audience. John is down for none of it. In fact, the only good thing to come out of it is that he now knows a few more faces to hunt down later from their world.

He stands by Dean and quietly thinks that he should probably be standing next to Bobby because he will have to be restrained at some point.

That point may be right now.

"How d'we get outta here?"

That's the only thing that matters to him. He never watched this show, when he had time to kick back and relax he usually chose to spend it passed out drunk on the couch. But it's very obviously some kind of game show, and if he thought he hated those before -- well he's pretty damn sure he's going to hate them a hell of a lot more now.

[tryingitall]

Lots of death glares flying around today! Balthazar's not thrilled by how many of them seem to be directed at Gabriel. Just because he's done this kind of thing in the past...

repeatedly...

to more than one of those present...

Well, no one said you had to be rational when sticking up for siblings. "Does it look like this was his idea? No one's happy to be here. I think our host is evidence enough that this was Wonderland's idea."

[lowkeyangel]

Gabriel's glower could melt plastic, but he mostly saves it for the scenery and the phony audience. Everyone else gets a fake, simmering-under-the surface smile. Well, except for Balthazar. It's pretty touching — and kind of foreign — to have a sibling standing up for him.

"Do you people really think I could rope Death into this? I never knew you thought so highly of me. Or poorly."

Okay, so he could. But why would he want to?

He's about to make a comment about not being suicidal, but that fizzles out before it can get voiced. Nope. He's not going into that territory today, not with Lucifer here.

"I know some of you are new, but c'mon. You guys forgotten about all of the other nonsense this place throws at us?"

[thepalehorseman]

So Death is still not pleased with any of this. Besides being dragged off and shoved into a suit he did not particularly like, he is being surrounded by all of the others from his own world so to speak. Many of them caused enough trouble, particularly in the area of not being able to stay dead, but even he knows that none of them could have done this. Especially to him.

Ignoring the idiotic audience is one thing. He scoffs when he overhears all of this talk that it can possibly be Gabriel or Loki as he seems to enjoy being called.

"It is as he says: He did not do this. If he tried to do this to me, he would have been dead a long time ago."

That is the best kind of support to be expected from Death. It is no reassurance to anybody else, but he is not in the business of caring about that.

[unclebadass]

"Yeah, well, we're all still here," Bobby says, annoyance apparent. Considering the extensive cast he's facing, it boggles the mind that not one of them can just snap their fingers and get them out of here. "So how the hell do we get out?"

Because Bobby Singer is not playing Family Feud. You can't make him, Wonderland. (Too bad you can.)
