[Day one, text + voice]

9 1 1

Hello? Someone took my parents. And my house.


[Day two, spam]

[Did six-year-old Dillon find tiny old roller skates in the back of his closet? Yes he did. He is now about to crash into you, probably.]


[Day three, video]

[A tiny redhead is absolutely swimming in a vaguely blasphemous christmas sweater. He's in the chapel, and he sings Away in a Manger in a clear, lovely soprano. He bites his lip for a moment afterward.]

Are we going to have a tree? Will someone else come light candles? I'm not supposed to play with fire.


[Day three, spam]

[Find Dillon with excessive candy canes hooked into the collar of his oversized sweater, trailing tinsel, attempting to stack a chair on top of a ladder so that he can hang up mistletoe and wreaths almost as big as he is.]

[ Spam : Day Three ]

[Dean isn't at all sure what to think of this place, but there's an instinct in him that tells him not to dig too deep. That he won't like what he finds. Maybe that's part of the curse of it, he thinks in the times he's not too busy to do so, and given a long enough time the ever more irritating thorn of Sam and Dad's absence would drive him to actually do something about it.

Unbeknownst to him, he won't get that much time. Instead he's jogging through the hallways, a nerf gun held loosely in one hand and alert in the way of every big brother everywhere engaged in a game that he has to be careful playing, but not that careful. He's hunting for his opponents, except - ]

Whoa, hey there, dude! [He skids off course, dropping the gun and reaching to grab the chair before this can happen. Or, as he's more concerned about, unhappen.] The hell're you tryin'a do?

I hafta decorate for Christmas! To keep the White Witch away!

[His arms cartwheel a little, but yay, apparently he is balanced after all. He sounds super excited and also really sure of this flawless logic.]

Don't get me wrong, that sounds like a great plan - [Not flawless, perhaps, but Dean is all about keeping witches of all sorts away, and he's heard stranger. Not from a pre-schoooler, but still.] - but why don't we slow down some on the turbo there, slick?

C'mon down, we'll consider our options.

[Dean has practice at this, and more than enough height and strength to hold onto the chair with one hand, and steady the pinwheeling boy just in case.]

[The nice thing about being an adult one of the bigger kids around is that despite the protests, Dean can just scoop Dillon off the ladder.]

Turbo IS great, but you never heard two hands are better'n one? I'll help. But we're gonna be smart about it. Can you be smart?
