day 210 | video
[ the art of disguise is not merely physical. it runs on many layers, and the ability to replicate and manipulate emotions is just as important as the way one looks. it all comes in handy, though, especially when you're a world-renowned criminal mastermind in a new place with new people and you need to get your bearings.

this is why the residents of marina will be finding themselves in the company of richard brook, the fretful out-of-work actor, rather than the criminal mastermind that is james moriarty. it's only practical, after all; it would be absolutely ridiculous for everyone to be aware of his capabilities right off the bat.

the rumpled-looking man showing on the video feed is rather obviously distressed. he seems more fearful than angry, however -- his voice wavers as he mutters to himself, very quietly. ]

...torture? Murder? Really, I can't --

[ he pauses, and takes a deep breath. ]

I thought we'd been through all this once already. I'm innocent. I didn't do any of those horrible things, not a single one -- all I did was look the part. I swear, I'm being honest, I'll tell you everything all over again if I need to.

[ that tremor isn't just in his voice, now. he's shaking. ]

You've got the wrong man. This is a mistake. Please, just let me go home.

[ piter watches this feed, taking in with his whiteless eyes the anxiety of this strange, fretful man, and from the moment he utters the word "torture" his interest is piqued.

it's possible, yes, that the wardens could mischarge someone— they have, of course, been known to charge inmates for crimes they would have committed in the future, but that is different. there has never before been such a glaring error in this area, and he doubts that this fellow is an exception to the pattern.

he "swares?" he's "being honest?" piter has heard that many times before, sobbed from lying mouths twisted in agony. yes, it's possible that he's telling the truth, but a murder charge is not one made on a whim. there are many possibilities— but the most interesting one is the one which makes piter doubt this man. ]

You are here now, I'm afraid. [ he smiles, but there is no kindness in it, no humor. ] There is no "going home."

[ even with those strange eyes, jim is able to read the calculation in his face. already, he doubts the other man is buying into this, but that'll mean more fun in the long run, if there's already someone here who can, well, tell. he'll know with time.

and as all that goes on mentally, richard is still fretting. ]

And why not? The justice system is meant to be fair and efficient. This is neither.

	Don't be ignorant. [ if this fellow's going to play the fool, he's going to be treated as such. ] You are miles beneath an ocean that you have never heard of in a dome guarded and maintained by thinking machines that have altered your timeline in order to bring you here in the first place. This is not your beloved justice system. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	If I'm going to take that claim as fact, then they're crimes you will commit in the future. The wardens don't bother making shit up; they have no reason to. Littering is just as heinous a crime to them as serial murder. If you weren't guilty of those crimes, they wouldn't be on your list. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
