Carry On my Wayward Son

[notarambler]

 WHO: Sam Winchester and YOU
WHEN:  December 1st
WHAT: Sam arrives and starts checking things out.
WHERE: Gazin
WARNINGS: TBD

Sam walked along the street making sure to hunch over so as not to startle anyone. He knows he stands out when he's walking through a crowd and the last thing he wants is to scare anyone. He wanders the road stopping at stalls to look over the goods on display a slight smile on his face. This place was amazing and he couldn't wait to explore more of it.

Sam takes the weapon and examines it carefully checking the balance and the weight before handing it back just as carefully. "It's not a weapon," Sam explains, "it's a tool. Hunters use a combination of a lot of things to help in their work. Spells, books, notes, that kind of thing. Sometimes we trap a creature instead of killing it."

He takes the sword back, always able to sense the sword even without his sight to guide his hand. He returns it to his back with the practiced ease of someone who has done this many times.

"It sounds like you have to take on some difficult enemies." Most of the things that Xingchen encounters only know to attack and aren't smart enough to plan.

"Yeah we did," Sam admits quietly, "some of ours...they start out human so...it can be hard to make the moves you need to to save people."

"Our always start off as human...unfortunately we simply have to understand that the ones that come back are no longer actually human and helping them move on is the only decent thing we can do."

Xingchen's sword is able to distinguish from the living and the dead and he uses that to be able to tell who he needs to strike down. He can always count on it since he can't rely on eyes to do so.

"Our ghosts retain some form of their mind depending on how they died," Sam says, "the more traumatic the death the more trouble they can cause. We also deal with haunted objects...that's always fun."

"I have heard of haunted objects but I have not encountered any myself. I have heard those can be quite tricky to deal with."

Xingchen would like to avoid such things considering the difficulty he would have with it. He doesn't doubt his skills or his ability to do things without his sight. But an inanimate object would be much harder for him to sense.
