an accidental video in the life of philip lafresque [3/??? artefacts collected]

[sadfreezingbrit]

[ It's been one week since Philip last left his room, looking for help. It didn't go too well and he's been persistently reclusive ever since. No checking the network, definitely no contributing to it and most, most definitely no leaving his room

*Masky glances at the mirror in Tims room. It's simply dark and not showing any reflections. But the one that Philip has is bleeding. That's .. not supposed to happen is it?*

What's wrong with mirror?

[ He is not particularly happy about discovering that he's on candid mansion camera. He is particularly not particularly happy to see who has decided to say hello today.

Apart from the usual 'masked creep' factor he can't help but remember their first conversation which pointed him to Simon's clinic which caused him to almost kill the doctor which took away any hope he had left of.....

He stares at the screen silently for a very long time, struggling with himself to just turn the transmission off. But it's not his fault.

But it's not like he can help, even if he wanted to. ]

I don't know.

[ ...

...

...

And that is when he realises that he just asked about the mirror, the one he thought was another hallucination. ]

You... you can see it too?

Bleeding.

*He looks back at his own mirror which isn't showing any signs of blood.*

What happened?

{ I told you! I told you it wasn't me! I still don't know what the hell this place is, but we need to get outta here! }

I told you, I don't know.

I think- I think something is happening on the other side, it...

[ He pauses, thinking about what Clarence said. He's never seen... well, "seen" him worried before, so he is even uneasier than he cares to admit to himself. ]

...it could be dangerous.

Your mirror broke it? From other side?

[video]

[sadfreezingbrit]

I... I suppose.

[ It's as good an explanation as any. ]

What about yours? Is yours all right?

Re: [video]

[timisnotme]

*He turns the comm so that he can see Tim's mirror. It's utterly dark. No reflection at all.*

Not working.

[ Philip is silent, thinking. He has no idea what that means.

It's enough to worry Clarence, apparently, which in turn is enough to worry him. ]

Re: [video]

[timisnotme]

*He returns your silence with more silence! Oh and staring. That too.*

[video]

[sadfreezingbrit]

[ Well, we're just about done thinking and the results are not exactly impressive. And whoever that guy is, Philip doubts that he knows more. Although speaking of which... ]

Who are you?

[ No, wait, let him rephrase. ]

What's... what's your name?

Re: [video]

[timisnotme]

*The rephrasing did not help much.*

Don't have one.

[sadfreezingbrit]

What... what do you mean?

[ He doesn't like this one bit, because it automatically brings to mind the last "person" he met who didn't have a name. ]

[timisnotme]

Not given one. Don't have.

*He seems to have lost interest in the comm. It's lying on the floor looking up at him. He knows this is the part of the conversation where people freak out and panic and he's tired of that. Who knew not having a name would cause so much trouble?

[sadfreezingbrit]

Whyuhm... Why don't you just give one to yourself?

[ It's what Clarence did at any rate. ]

[timisnotme]

Not how works.

Alex calls me Markus.

Can if you want.

Don't care.

[sadfreezingbrit]

Markus. Markus. Okay.

I'm... Philip. Did I say that already?
