entrancelogs | here lies kevin tran

Who: Kevin Tran and YOU.
Where: The Oregon Trail obviously.
When: All during the event.
Rating: PG probably.
Summary: Kevin only makes it to Day 2 before he breaks his leg, which rapidly gets infected, leading to his death on Day 3. And after he dies? What else does he have to do except heckle and critique everyone else?
The Story:

Day 1: Kevin spends the first part of the day grappling with the weird nostalgia that is being plunked down in apparently Oregon Trail Town, combined with the fear that they're about to go and live out, he guesses, the Oregon Trail. How screwed are they? And how many pounds of food is it per person again? How do you even prevent dysentery? Do they sell bottled water anywhere?

Day 2: They have to cross a river, and Kevin votes to caulk the wagon and float it across, all the way, thouh the guide is tempting, honestly. He never did it that way in the game because he has some self-respect, but maybe that's different in person.

Even though Kevin survives the river crossing, he manages to trip and break his leg, and it promptly gets infected. The infection's actually moving pretty quickly, and by the end of the day, he's not just in pain; he's shivering with a fever and chills and not able to keep any liquids down.

Days 3-5: Overcome with infection, Kevin passes away soon into the third day, and mostly he's just really freaking annoyed. At least he has some experience at being a ghost, and he figures out the new rules of ghostdom so he can visit his friends and survey (and critique) their attempts at traversing the trail. Actually, being a ghost is pretty fun. It's sort of like playing the game, except he doesn't have to make any actual choices and he just gets to heckle people to their face instead of to the computer screen. Though it does suck watching people actually get dysentery.

Threaded | Flat

As it turns out, Castiel ends up with a bad case of dysentery.

By midday, he's laid up in the back of the wagon that he's sharing with Dean and Sam, curled up on his side in the fetal position as that seems to be the only way he can place himself and not be in excruciating pain.

Despite that, he's got a layer of sweat on his forehead and he's shuddering as he waits for the next attack to come along. He's already forced the wagon to stop a handful of times and he can't imagine how there's still anything left in his stomach to expel, and yet the worst keeps happening.

When Kevin shows up in the wagon in his ghostly form, Castiel stares up at him with glassy eyes and can only assume he's hallucinating. He blinks blearily and says nothing for the moment, far too exhausted to speak to a figment.

It's only been several hours since the Doctor died, but thankfully, the time in between death and coming back as a ghost was rather short. No terrifying afterlife or hellish environments for him, thanks. Granted, floating around as a specter really isn't really that great either, but at least he's not human anymore and he's not deathly ill, so that qualifies as an improvement.

It's while he's floating around that he spots Kevin doing the same, and since he hasn't got anything better to do, he comes over to see if he can't strike up a bit of a conversation.

"Well, hello there. I see you're a ghost as well," he says with a hint of a smile. "Sorry you died, though. You doing alright otherwise?"

By the third day, there are plenty of ghosts to be spotted in nearby wagons passing by, which means a whole lot of people either drowning, dying of disease, getting eaten... Dean knows how this works, somewhat, and you know what? The first day might have been somewhat exciting, somewhat even awesome, but by now this Oregon Trail stuff is bullshit.

Legitimate bullshit.

Especially when one of the wagon wheels breaks mid-journey to a (hopefully) nearby town. Now while Dean might be really handy under the hood of a car, fixing and building things is an entirely different ball game when he's faced with a goddamn wagon of all things. It should be simple -- he's seen someone else do it -- but with Cas slowly but surely out of the picture thanks to being sick, and Sam off finding food somewhere, it's left to Dean and only Dean.

So the last thing he really needs is a ghost hanging out watching him as he tries, and tries again, to get the new wheel to stick where it belongs-- and to actually work. Dean can just sense it, another one lingering about, without turning to see who might have fallen to a rather nasty fate.

"You get lost before I throw this thing at you."

This is all new to Toothless, and just as perplexing as the mansion that's... nowhere to be found. He's not certain what to think about that. How does a house just get up and wander away? Or is it that he's woken up on a different island altogether? Why are things here so confusing? Why can't it just be normal?

The Nightfury sticks close to Hiccup, at first, but as the day goes on he finds his 'sea legs', and begins to branch out on his own to have a look around. He finds Kevin looking just as confused as he feels, and trills from a few feet away.

He gets it, viking.
