[The video kicks in, showing a young blond man who’s looking mildly amused.]
All right, guys, while it is pretty awesome that you’ve somehow pulled off getting me here without me knowing, this particular prank is really not funny. I’m disappointed in you, I know you guys can do much better. So just give me the kill code for this program now, and

I don't believe that everything is gone--whether you come from the same place I do or not. I-I don't know what it w-would be like, to see p-people being unmade, but I haven't heard of anything like that here. This place is full of its own batch of secrets and mystery, however.
I'll help in any way I can. It's not too hard to make friends here, at the very least.

[There's a sage nod, there. Of course, this is coming from the guy who might as well have been the welcoming committee back at his school.]
It wouldn't surprise me, either way. It's possible, but so are a million other reasons for getting kidnapped. Besides, you're never supposed to just trust what the all powerful guy tells you. Hasn't he seen any movies? Where are you from, anyway?
[He just. Doesn't touch the people being unmade thing. It's not pleasant, and if she hasn't seen it, he's glad.]
That's not surprising, either. What's castle without secrets and mysteries? Especially one that apparently didn't get unmade along with the rest of the universe and is a good holding grounds for whoever got 'rescued.'
[The castle he lives at is better. Probably has better secrets and mysteries, too. But he doesn't mention that, because, uh, he's realized he's started rambling.]
How many people are here?

I know, right? The movies are perfect examples of what not to do, filled with heroes and heroines you do not want to be. I'm from Buffalo, by the way. What about you?
Another good point. Keep them coming. [She's grinning again.] There's something about old houses or castles that just beg to be searched over with a fine toothed comb.
To that, I don't know. Quite a few, but no where near a hundred. You know... we should probably do a head count or roll call some time. That way it'll be more obvious when people go missing for a month. [A bit of dry humor to her tone, here.]

Not that he isn't going to do his best to figure out what the hell is going on and how he's getting out of there, but there's no need to whine about getting kidnapped to people who, uh. Have been, too.]
Exactly! I swear, none of them have ever seen movies, either. There's only so many times you can shout at the screen before their refusal to acknowledge your advice gets discouraging. And, hey, cool! Westchester. Same state, at least. Uh, assuming you meant Buffalo, New York.
[She gets a grin as well at her comment about him making good points.]
Yeah, I make them occasionally. I'm gonna have to start pacing myself, though, or I'll use them all up. But yeah, all the castles I've ever seen have definitely been of the screaming 'I've got secrets' type.
[And then he pauses, brows furrowing slightly.]
Missing for a month? Does that happen often around here?

But hey, it couldn't hurt to try. I might've gotten lucky.

Except people who happen to suck at English and are much better at figuring out equations than cryptic writing.

Oh, man, there's medieval clothing, too? Is that required, or can we opt out?
...actually, that kind of is groovy. Of course, guys got to wear awesome things that didn't include giant skirts and corsets, so I'm probably at an advantage there.

[Actually seeing it sounds awful.]

Yeah. Kind of. But there were extenuating circumstances. It wasn't like it was something that happened every day.

I haven't seen it. But I know it can be put right again.
[That she has seen.]

Yeah? So it is possible, then, restoring things that have been unmade? I've only ever seen the unmaking part.
