[ There's a shirtless teenager on your screen who looks remarkably like that kid from the Taylor Swift video, er... well... There's an upside-down shirtless teenager on your screen, looking at the datapad like it has somehow hideously offended him just by existing and having far too many knobs than what one would reasonably expect. At first, his

[She'd comment on the fact that he really needs to learn how to use a phone, but she's too busy focusing in on one small part of his little broadcast instead.

She's figuring that getting a response to something he had no clue how to record will probably knock him for an entertaining loop.]

Government experimentation?

[doomhoops]

[ Wat, why is the little TV talking now? He heard her, but he takes his sweet time poking cautiously at the door, sticking his head out into the hallway, looking around, because really, what even. She can wait.

Eventually he makes his way back to the thing he tossed aside earlier and just crouches down in front of it, forearms on his knees, and squints warily at it. Eff your question, totally not answering that yet. ]

Who are you?

[regeneracy]

[Wow, this is actually...pretty amusing. She bites at her lip as hard as possible to keep herself from smiling and laughing. She doesn't think he'll respond well to being laughed at.]

It's only a door.

[She pauses, pointing at herself.]

And I'm Claire. Relax, I'm pretty anti-government. If you were kidnapped or whatever back home, you're safe from them here. We've been taken from home and are somewhere else entirely.

[doomhoops]

[ B( Claire, you are so not laughing at him while he thinks the CIA has kidnapped him to dissect him. Have a scowl. And a really unamused tone. ]

No shit.

[ Claire. Okay. He probably won't remember it later but either way you're going to be 'hey you' for a while. ]

It's still kidnapping, so how's that an safer? Where exactly is here?

[reprobaverum]

[ Watching. Huh. He's attractive. And hot-headed. Then again, just kidnapped. ]

...Welcome. And, this is not government experimentation. Forget real government altogether.

video ]

[doomhoops]

[ And still half nude! Because what are droids. Though hot-headed, yes, most definitely. ]

Uh huh. [ Do mind him, he's just going to be suspicious forever of everything ] You're supposed to be who?

video ]

[reprobaverum]

[ He could help - with the half-nude thing but...he likes the half-nude thing. He's also half-asleep. ]

Jason. A fellow...I guess kidnappee is the best way to refer to what we are. We've been kidnapped? From our worlds. Homes. And sent here. To Coruscant. Also safe to say you're from another planet. Maybe even another time. Do you know Earth?

[ Because not everyone does. ]

[doomhoops]

[ Jason, you opportunist ;; Alex will happen upon the closets eventually. Or ask once the draft gets annoying.

Also - W A T. Grats, you just broke his brain. He's just... staring for a moment. And raising his eyebrows in a manner that clearly suspects you're either high, insane or fucking with him. ]

Yeah, I've heard of it. [ Said so very dry. ]

[hatespolitics]

Having trouble with the door, there?

[doomhoops]

[ His face will just be in a perpetual scowl for everyone responding here. ]

It's open, isn't it? [ Which means no. No he is not. ]

Re: video;

[hatespolitics]

Yeah. [She makes a motion with her hands.] Whoosh. I saw. I'm getting the feeling you're not so used to this technology, am I right?

video;

[doomhoops]

Not really. [ A shrug. Whatever, everything is mind boggling and he doesn't know what Star Wars is. Ain't no thang. Except that it is. ] Whose technology is it?

[ As in CIA? KGB? Someone else entirely? It's got to be one of them. ]

[illjustdieagain]

[r u srs.]

What is it with you people and destroying all the flats lately?

/jack

[reprobaverum]

Do you blame them? Really?

[illjustdieagain]

You don't go around just destroying property like that. Think of the people who could be living next door. You know, like me.

[reprobaverum]

Do you live next year? I'm not condoning it, just saying...I get it. The frustration. Also, at least he didn't destroy the droid. I always kinda feel bad for the guy...

Welcome to Corsucant.

If you you don't count the whole thing where you're trapped in time, it's pretty far from most definitions of prisons.

[Why, yes, here, have somebody who hangs out in prison a lot, herself. SHe knows that reaction.]

[doomhoops]

Thanks? [ Still thinks you're all nutjobs ]

Trapped in what? [ You're crazier than the other two, aren't you? But he's pinged by prison. ] Prison's not so... comfortable.

[packing_again]

[Well, he's not incorrect, in this case... Very much crazier.]

What year is it where you just were?

And you might be surprised. There are some very comfortable, even lush prisons.

[doomhoops]

1962? [ Said like this should be obvious to you ]

Doesn't that defeat the purpose of 'prison'?
