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.

	[ what is this, some weird kind of horrible-person mating dance? apparently. he keeps that creepy little smile plastered on -- it might even grow a bit when piter mirrors it. ] Assuming makes an ass out of you and me. Don't you know that phrase? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ birds of a feather flock together, after all. creepy looking, sassy, sinister as hell birds. he notices the twitch of jim's smile, and it's all terribly interesting— what's more, there does indeed seem to be more to him than that shaking, fidgety fellow. that intrigue is enough to make piter much less inclined to react strongly to this smarmy behavior; in fact, that smarminess only further proves his little hypothesis. ]

I know that I was not just implied to be an ass.

[ the mentat handbook probably has a variant of that phrase, really, but expecting a twisted mentat to always hang onto every little word is a bit much. the fact of the matter is that piter is indeed a total ass. ]

	Good for you, it means you know something. [ he's beaming now, in an insolent, twisted way. all this back-and-forth has been the most satisfying thing to happen to jim since arriving. this is all driving it home that he really needs to be making note of this man, for one reason or another. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ the fact that this fool thinks that he is any way permitted to mouth off to piter so flagrantly cements even further curiosity in him. a part of him is tempted to indulge in the thought of slapping him across the face to see how he'd react, to see whether it would shatter some facade or not.

instead, he goes on grinning back at jim— the way he bares his teeth adds the faintest element of danger and warning to the smile, so subtle that an ordinary man may not have caught it. ]

I know a great many things. Your name is not among them, however.

	Is that a request? You could be a lot less cagey about it, you know. Ask like everyone else does. [ he raises his eyebrows, that smile still perfectly in place. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I am not "everyone else." [ his own smile remains frozen on his face, a silent order not to be so demanding of him. ] (Reply to this) (Parent)
