[ So this is what it comes down to. Either this is, somehow, what it claims to be, or - more likely - he's finally hit his psychotic break, the moment that his psyche finally dismantles from within and disengages from reality entirely. With how his entire life has been crafted around fitting in, escaping notice, surviving without being caught, it would make sense that his breakdown would revolve around finally being taken down as what he is. And what poetic justice there was to be found in the location of this bizarre facility.

It doesn't really matter what this is. Real or not, the way to get through this is the same as getting through anything else. Fit in, learn everything that I can, earn the trust of others. If there's a way out of this, I'll find it, but I'm not going to find it by lashing out. Stay with the code. Survive, and get back to what's important. What terrible timing, just when my counterpart and I were getting back to our game.

As the video turns on, he affects a friendly enough tone, though he doesn't go for anything overly happy because nobody should sound chipper about being in prison. Levity does help normal people, though - dry levity. ]

Interesting place you've set up here. It does read a bit more as vacation spot than a prison, but I guess that's not something I should be complaining about in my position. Though the jumpsuit I could honestly do without. I think it makes me look jaundiced - skin tone, you know.

[ He purses his lips and gives a small shrug with that, gesturing at his face.

I always had wondered how I'd look in one. At least I have that answer now. All the more reason to hang onto the code, I think. ]

So, I'm curious. Is everyone here treated to such a creative interpretation of their actions?

[ Enough of my charges were a reach that it seems like there could a theme to it, and it'd be a good start to get a feel for the place, how well I can keep up appearances... and maybe just how many playmates I have down here. It's oddly fitting, left at the bottom of an ocean. From another perspective, I might even appreciate the irony. ]

[It's rare that anything shakes him, but this-- this--

It's a long moment before he can steady himself to answer.]

Oh, good-- I'm glad it wasn't just me.

[Normal, unassuming stranger at your service, Dexter. The absurd neon orange of his collar marks him unmistakeably as a fellow inmate.

It doesn't show in his expression or voice, but oh, he's glad it's not just him.]

You just showed up here? Is that how this place works?

	[ Of course, for his part, Dexter has no idea who he's talking to. So he keeps up his friendly enough face, pursing his lips slightly and raising his brows as he gives a slow, absorbing nod. ] Just showed up. Though, technically, I think we need one more to establish a pattern. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[All in good time, Dexter.] Technically, but I'm willing to take a leap of faith on it. Assuming this is actually happening. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
