[GP] Arrivals and Departures

[st_huntermom]

As Mary made the lobby ready with baked goods, she did so with a quieter disposition than she normally did. She was well aware of man behind the check in counter sorting through room keys There were a lot people who must be gone, though she wasn't quite sure the number yet. She had, of course, already made sure Sam, Dean, River, and James were still around. It was a little selfish, but for her, those were the ones that mattered the most to her. Still, she couldn't help wonder if the hotel would be quieter now or if this was some major move on whoever was in control. If it was a move, she wondered what the move was working toward - hopefully nothing like the incursion several months ago.

She set down a basket of chocolate chip cookies and then stretched, arching her back. Maybe she should go get a drink from the bar today.

Miguel - OTA

[st_recuerdame]

He hadn't thought about not seeing Curnen or Mack. They were usually busy doing stuff, but when he sent them both a journal message and there wasn't an answer, Miguel knew that something was wrong.

Since there hadn't been a battle like the last time his friends went missing, he just thought it was the inn sending them back to their homes. Miguel was sad for himself, but happy for them. It just meant that there was hope that he'd see his family again. Not that he ever doubted that.

He sat in the lobby with the guitar on his lap and sang his Papa Hector's song for his missing friends, Remember Me

Miguel & Jane

[st_artingpoint]

Ever since Jane learned that she wasn't pregnant, there had been a tug. Not that she wanted kids right now, her life was complicated at best, but she did think that maybe some day.

So when she entered the lobby and heard Miguel's lullaby, she paused to listen to the words. It really was lovely. There was both sadness and a kind of hope in the remembrance. Jane made a detour to the bakery area and grabbed a couple of pieces of cake before returning and sitting down next to Miguel waiting for him to finish.

Miguel smiled at Jane when she first appeared. She was nice and laughed when Dante was being silly. His smile grew though when she came back with the cake.

When the last notes faded, he closed his eyes and said a silent goodbye to his friends and in Curnen's case - family. Miguel opened them again and greeted Jane. "Hola!

She handed him a plate with a fork and small piece of cake when he set his guitar aside. "Hi. That was a really nice song. Did you have friends leave?" Jane was fortunate, all the ones that she cared about were still at the inn.

He took a bite of the chocolate cake and chewed before answering Jane. One of the things he liked about the adults at the inn was that they treated him like an adult. Well, not an adult, but not like a kid either. Jane and Dean were the best, besides Curnan and Lillith for treating him like family or a friend.

"Mack and Curnen." Miguel nodded. "I'm going to miss them a lot even though I know they are here." He pointed to his heart.

Jane hoped that Miguel kept that core of innocence with him always.

"I like that thought." She took a bite of her chocolate cake, too. After a bit she added, "I have a feeling they both will remember you, too even if they don't know why something is familiar."

She wasn't sure if they would remember being at the inn or not, but Jane knew all too well that sometimes things will trip a memory even if they were forgotten.

Miguel nodded, "that's how it was with my Papa Hector. I didn't know him before I met him in the Land of the Dead but after that I remembered everything."

He just wished he could have brought Chicharrón back from fading away forever.

Despite only knowing things in a magical inn, it still fascinated Jane that others lives were so ... magical outside of this place.

"So you remembered everything? That's good to know." She settled comfortably near him, leaning against the wall. "Been keeping busy? Before today, I mean."

Jane wasn't sure exactly what the kids did around the inn, not that she had much to do either.

Re: Miguel & Jane

[st_recuerdame]

"Yep." Miguel began and felt a little bittersweet tug at his heart because it felt like when he told Curnen about his days when he saw her.

"Dante and I play at the beach almost everyday." It was still very much a treat even though he'd been there more than a year. "Then I was ---" He paused because he was about to say that he was writing something for Curnen but he was still going to write it. It was because of her and Scanlan that he had much more confidence in his music.

"Then I am writing a song." He finished with a bright, proud smile toward Jane.
