Suptober23 - Day 8: Satanic Panic

“There, standing among the wreckage, is what you presume to be a man. At least until the dust settles and then you can see him clearly. Deep red skin, horns that extend over his head,” Sam’s hands raise above his head, stopping midway to widen the distance between the two. “Straight until they curve backwards and then they come back up.” At everyone’s baffled expression, Sam huffs and grabs a piece of paper and Dean’s pen. Dean can’t see over the laptop, but it doesn’t take a genius to guess he’s drawing. “A long tail curves and lashes behind him. White eyes, no pupil to be seen, almost shining as he stares at y’all. No armor, but he’s holding a butcher knife in his hand.”

Sam grimaces at his drawing before putting down in the middle of the table. They all lean forward to see Sam’s stick figure fighting for its life to resemble anything. Dean laughs first, but Ash, Charlie and Castiel follow him easily.

“No!” Sam successfully bats at his hand when Dean brings out his phone, but isn’t fast enough to stop Charlie’s. “Guys, come on!” He whines. “Murder demon waiting here.”

Dean would bet his life on the fact that the groupchat Charlie created for the party has the badly drawn sketch as a profile picture already, but he puts his own phone down and raises his hands as a sign of surrender.

“That lawyer degree is clearly lost on you, Sammy, you’re Van Gogh’s second coming.” He cannot stop himself from saying, and smirks at Sam flipping him off.

“Oh!” Castiel says, looking up from his phone. “The horns, are they supposed to be a mimicry of an Impala’s?”

Dean leans towards Castiel and looks at his phone. “Motherfucker. They are!” He looks back at his brother. “Can’t believe you’re going to make me kill Baby.”

“We don’t necessarily need to kill him,” Ash points out. “But it does seem to be the fastest way to get the fuck out of here.”

“Shame on you, Samuel. What kind of sick fantasy is this that you’re nursing? Did Baby try to kill you or something?”

“He’s gonna attack you.” Sam deadpans.

“Wait, for real?”

“Yes! You’re just standing there, covered in blood and not paying attention to him.”

“Don’t be a dick,” Dean says, “We’re messing around.”

“Is that a fiend?” Castiel asks, the player’s handbook that he brings to all sessions opened on the table. He’s such a nerd.

“Technically, they’re humanoids.” Charlie responds before Sam can answer. “So I don’t think they count as fiends.”

Castiel furrows his brow. “Isn’t it a demon?”

“Ah,” Dean brings the book close to him and goes to the index. “No, man, it’s a tiefling. Half demon at best,” He finds the page he needs and goes to it to show Cas. “Kinda like how you’re not an angel angel.”

“I’m not an angel in any way.”

“Well, Aasimar is kinda-”

“There’s no angels in Dungeons and Dragons, Dean.”

“Shows what you know, there’s definitely angels in D&D.”

Castiel looks accusingly at Sam. Sam raises his hands in an echo of Dean a few minutes ago. “Not playable, more as a creature you can encounter.”

“Aw, Cas, did you wanna be a lil angel?” Dean teases.

“The symbolic relevance of it was an interesting counterargument to all that I was taught about this game in my childhood.” Cas answers, completely serious and taking all the wind out of Dean’s sails. “To be fair, I think my parents assumed this was more satanic and somehow selling our souls than fighting demons with math.”

“It’s not about the math,” Dean despairs over Castiel’s whole life as he continues, “It’s about the adventure and getting to kill stuff and have a good time and not eternal damnation or whatever your folks said.”

Castiel smiles, small, before grabbing the book again. His hand caresses the picture of the tiefling on the book. “I know, Dean.”

“Well. Good.”

Sam clears his throat. “You guys gonna roll initiative now or what?”

Hi! Quick suptober question, forgive me if it’s already been answered:

because there are 15 prompts this year, does that mean we are just posting on October 1st through the 15th and nothing else for the rest of the month, or can I post every other day to fill the whole month, like prompt #2 on October 3rd, prompt #3 on October 5th, etc ?

Thank you!

There are 15 prompts AND a bonus prompt this year!!!!; one for each season of the show + one for Halloween, cuz it's the best day of the year and it needs some art/fic :)

But on to your question: You can absolutely post every other day if you want to, to extend it throughout the whole month. I will be running the reminders and reblogging October 1st-15th though, and then again on the 31st. This is because I wasn't able to host the challenge for the entire month this year.

tl;dr: the rule for suptober is you can post LATE, but DON'T post EARLY (according to your time zone.)

Hopefully that answers your question!
