[The communicator clicks on, but the user has not realized he can't make a phone call to his personal assistant in another universe. The video is just mottled shades of blacks and grays as the camera has been pressed against his face. There's the sound of footsteps crunching over dirt in the background. Then a voice that may be familiar to some.]

Voice;

[mindf_cks]

You're arrested.

[Audio because who was phone etc]

[ebony_mask]

Scarecrow?

[mindf_cks]

[ hrrk. Beat. ]

Unfortunately not. Perhaps you should try dialing the right number?

[ebony_mask]

That is a pack of dirty lies, you pretentious sack of straw. Did you gas me?

[mindf_cks]

I have no idea what you're talking about.

[ Wait, wait... ]

I'm not even sure if I know who you are.

[ebony_mask]

[Humorless chuckle.]

Been huffing too much of your own product, huh, Doc?

[mindf_cks]

[ Nearly hesitant: ]

No, no. If I were to have a "product" I'm sure I'd remember someone as charming as you.

[ Or someone so clearly delusional. When in doubt, deny everything. ]

[ebony_mask]

Whatever, you spooky bastard. This has your m.o. all over it.

[Except for the part where Roman isn't scared and having panic attacks about losing control, but when in denial, blame everyone.]

[mindf_cks]

[ Oh ho hooo. Is that compliment? ]

If you say so.

[ Another pause. ]

Tell me, are you aware your video function is on? [ FACE TO MATCH THE VOICE, PLEASE. ]

[Technically video, but it's still just smooshed against his face]

[ebony_mask]

Show me yours, I'll show you mine.

[Voice still because lol]

[mindf_cks]

You've already shown yours, but I'll bite once you move it entirely from what I assume to be apart of your face.

[SUDDENLY VIDEO FOR REAL NOW]

[ebony_mask]

[Roman's charred head appears upside down because how does technology work??]

Remember me now, Scarey?

[STILL VOICE] Late filter for anymore crow talk

[mindf_cks]

[ Jeez, bro. You should get your face fixed. Amuse:]

Ah, I've never met you before.

[Video, PRIVATE]

[ebony_mask]

Face. Now.

[Video, PRIVATE]

[mindf_cks]

[ He did say he would. So, here's a video of Crane a million years younger than Roman probably remembers. ]

Your demanding attitude is simply charming, really.

[Video, PRIVATE]

[ebony_mask]

[Squints]

Damn.

A little overzealous with the Botox, don't you think?
