SPN question--in the crossroads ep, what leverage was Dean going to use against the demon once he'd trapped her there?
'Day' is a vestigial mode of time measurement based on solar cycles. It's not applicable. I didn't get you anything.
River ,'Out Of Gas'

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Exorcize her -- didn't he have the Latin formula right handy?

I know Meg was a possessed human (and the demon feared the exorcism)--the crossroads chick was too? I'm not sure why I didn't think she was--everyone has been so far. Perhaps because she just showed up right there on demand.
So he was leveraging the same thing against both of them--exorcism from their hosts? No abandonment in the circle or physical torture?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Yeah, she was. I was also surprised about that, but didn't the demon leave her when it was done, and the girl was sort of disoriented afterward?
Is exorcism really that bad of a threat? Don't they just find a new host, lickety-split?

Yep.
And yeah, the demon left the girl and left her disoriented afterward.

Sends them back to hell. Crossroads demon, in fact, made a point of telling Dean that if he exorcised her, she would claw her way back out and make his life a living hell, starting with the people he was there to save.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
From the way Dean and Sam have talked about it, the exorcism sends the demons back to Hell, not just out of the host's body. The exorcism itself is also apparently very painful for the demons.
We haven't been given a primer on how demons get out of Hell in order to possess people in the first place, but my guess, consideirng how much demons are frightened by exorcism, is that it's extremely difficult.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Thanks, guys. From what Gordon said, his interrogation of his possessed person involved pain, as I remember it. Now I can soundly vaguely clueful on LJ.

Yeah. It's pretty much a direct compare to Meg's exorcism, flipped and darkened.
