Entry 1

[The lights are on, for some reason, but the camera is watching the white-t-shirted back of the boy inside the room. He seems to be asleep, but after a while he stirs. His form jumps slightly, as if surprised, and slowly he rolls onto his back, eying the ceiling. Then, just as slowly, he sits up, carefully looking around. It's as if he's expecting

[Alex has been here for a while now, and while he's no happier about it, it's getting familiar and therefore he's a lot better at pretending to be.

Also, he can cheat and keep his own device's input turned off until he's able to answer only tersely instead of freaked-out-ly.]

Jay. ...Hey.

[video]

[41810]

... Alex?! [He peers closer at the device. He even gets off the bed to do so.]

Alex Kralie, was that seriously you?

[video]

[40410]

[He breathes in, and flips on the video. Alex's face appears on Jay's screen, tense-looking, with dark circles under his eyes. The wall of the room behind him is conspicuously not covered in frantic scribblings, but that's because he keeps them in drawers away from the eyes of everyone else.]

Yeah.

...It's been a while.

[video]

[41810]

...

[He stares for a bit. His face doesn't move but he's giving serious thought to finding that son of a bitch and punching him straight in the head. He leans back and gives what can only be described as a :| face, his voice deadpan. He looks just as damn tired as Alex, but considerably less excitable.]

..Yeah. It has.

[video]

[40410]

Yeah.

[...

...

What the hell does he say now?

Alex is still pretty sure that this whole situation is the slender man's fault somehow, and Jay's appearance is only bolstering that. But why now, rather than four summers ago? Jay wouldn't have been stupid enough to watch those tapes, right?]

[video]

[41810]

...yeah? [Seriously? That's all you've got? You asshole. But he doesn't say it, he just thinks it, and pointedly looks away from the screen.]

...Is this where you've been?

[video]

[40410]

No. I went back to Idaho Falls.

[No point in hiding his address if they're both trapped here - and every indication so far has been that they are. Besides, Alex is going to have to move again if he makes it back to the world.

Yeah, it's if now. His voice is toneless.]

This is recent.

[video]

[41810]

...oh.

...What happened to Amy?

[video] J you bastard. XD

[40410]

What? What?

[Way to make him look like he just swallowed his tongue.]

You don't know Amy - how do you know -

1/2

[41810]

[video] XDDDD WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM HIM you shouldn't have abandoned him damnit

[41810]

... I.. got a video about you. And her. She was there.

...what happened to you guys?

[video] WHAT WAS I SUPPOSED TO DO, KEEP GETTING SLENDERSTALKED? :|

[40410]

You got a...

[The video Amy was shooting. It has to be that. Oh god, does that mean she didn't get away? Which of them held the camera last?]

How did you get that?

[His voice is a monotone, but that doesn't make it any less forceful. And then he remembers the third person they filmed and shit, shit, shit, Jay's seen him too.]

[video] YEAH. DUHHHH. /sob

[41810]

[Pointedly avoiding looking at the camera.]

It just ... someone sent it to my hotel room.

[video] That's so self-centred, Jay. I'm disappointed in you. :(

[40410]

Who?

[Alex takes off his glasses with one hand; with the other, rubs his face anxiously.]

[video] Hey, I did better than that bimbo you called your gf.

[41810]

...No idea.

I didn't know anyone knew where I was. I kept moving.

[video] *flips a table* You don't know her like I do!

[40410]

[Hold up.

Between that, and the fact that Jay hasn't asked who was the third figure on the tape... Alex puts his glasses back on quickly, the better to go D:.]

Did he start... following you, too?
