[Jay isn't too sure about the situation but he plans to act as casually as possible while hoping that he doesn't get recognized because that's never a good thing when you're suspected by the as a bombing terrorist so here goes nothing as video feed turns on] — really not funny at all.

Is this supposed to be some sort of prank? Kind of elaborate if it is. [There is a pause as he stares at the bracelet for a moment very skeptically] Especially these bracelets if they even work at all.

[He just shakes his head, letting out a sigh] I don't think I was drunk enough to have agreed to this either, because this whole thing? Not sure if I buy it, even those so called powers sound ridiculous—

Though assuming that someone is getting this and I'm not just talking to myself here, I have a couple of questions. I'm looking for a friend of mine so what I want to know is if there a quick way to find out if he's here and probably directions to leave this place? I have somewhere else to be right now and it's kind of important I find my friend before he gets himself into trouble.

Bad news. No way out that anyone's found, other than them letting you loose. [The sound of someone sipping something and gagging could be heard, along with pounding on a countertop.] On the upside, though, seems when you get back you'll have lost no time so you can find your friend just fine.

But, if you want to check and see they're here, look their name up on your bracelet. Did you have something called the internet in your world? It's like that.

...a little.

[Oh an actual response, well that was not what he expected] Huh, so this thing does actually work.

Yeah, I know how the internet works if it is something like that. Everything else though, how do you know that for sure? [because time doesn't work like that and if they got in there had to a way to leave after all, right?]

I've been here almost six months. Seen a few people come and go. I'm sort of the paranoid type, but a few were ones I trusted, and there's enough coming back and forth that I'm fairly sure it works that way.

And yep, it works. The bracelet's actually pretty handy.

Seriously, you've been here that long? That doesn't make sense though, people would have had to notice you're not there if it is for that length of time.

I'll have to try looking up his name then— is there anything else this is supposed to do?

Cooper?

[ It must be, right? It definitely looks like his best friend's older brother. ]

Hey, man. Are you looking for Blaine? [ Wait, wouldn't he have called Blaine his brother rather than his "friend" in the video? ]

[vindicating]

[For a second, Jay thinks he is recognized until he hears a completely different name so it makes him hesitate at first before responding] Sorry— I think you have the wrong person since I don't know who you're talking about.

[whitechocolate]

[ At first he thinks maybe he's just acting like he doesn't know what he's talking about... but Cooper isn't that good of an actor. ]

You're not Cooper Anderson? [ Does Cooper have a twin? A clone? ]

This is so weird... [ Sam stares at him with his mouth open. ] You look exactly like my friend's brother.

Sit down, man, we've all got important shit to be doing. Don't you think we'd be out of here by now if it was that easy?

It was just a question, I didn't think that— [He stops midsentence as just stares at the video for a moment as if he has seen a ghost]

[vindicating]

Wait, Will? You're— how are you here too?

[Pyro's brow furrows in confusion, before he cocks his head almost defensively. It's all there - the voice, the face, even the hair is similar. His expressions might be more arrogant, a low anger always simmering behind them, but otherwise he's identical.]

Same way you're here. You've got the wrong guy, though.

voice;

[deudly]

If you find the directions out of here, let me know. They don't exist as far as I know. Tough break loser.

video;

[vindicating]

Don't exist? We were brought here so there has to be a way back.

voice;

[deudly]

See, you'd think that! Because, hey, that's fucking logical right? But Ass-gard has no logic in it.

[Voice]

[hadbadays]

I'm wondering about the prank thing too. But I'm still trying to figure out where the Nordic myth bit would've come from.

There's a list over who's here, though, on the bracelet.

video; 1/2

[vindicating]

You too, huh? With what everyone else was saying I thought I was the only one who thought it seemed like that.

[He pauses for a moment as he thinks on ] I'm not sure how the myth fits in other than the person behind all this being a bit too fond of it.

video;

[vindicating]

The bracelet has a list? So something like a directory of sorts?

[Woops voice forever for now]

[hadbadays]

Seems more like it would be an elaborate illusion or dream state, which I'd expect to be more connected to the person having it rather than the person causing it.

[ S i g h. ]

Like a phone book.

[unrestrained]

Yeah-- If it were as easy as just asking I think there'd be a whole lot of people already on the train out of here. [He shrugs his shoulders.] Don't worry, you get used to confusion.

[vindicating]

Used to the confusion?

Well I figured it was worth a shot. If we were brought here there has to be a way back but I get that there's a lot of us in this situation.

[unrestrained]

Yeah. The whole no believing it part? That's normal.

There is, but they're not letting us in on that. Or maybe we'll combust if we try.

video; cries because blaine thinks he's that friend

[hairgels]

Coop! You— No.

video; oh no blaine ;;

[vindicating]

I'm sorry— what?

video; oh my god nooooooooo

[hairgels]

Really? That's how it's going to be?

video;

[whitechocolate]

I really don't think that's your brother, dude. [ His acting has got way better if that's the case. ] I think he's a clone.
