Is this -- is this a video camera? How am I supposed to -- what is this for --

[ after moments of scuffling the video clicks on and there's a rather pretty, red-headed teenage girl standing in the dark, barely lit. it's hard to tell where exactly she is, but she definitely looks freaked out.I think I got this working -- I'm -- I'm Mary Jane. MJ

Mary Jane! Calm down!

[ voice; ]

[unmodel]

[ shes breathing so hard. shes like panicking. so bad. ]

How are you -- how is this happening --

You're one of those shapeshifters! You're that shapeshifter! Oh my god, stay away from me!

[ voice; ]

[bythreadalone]

I'm nowhere near you, relax. [ He's trying to keep his voice even. ] I knew this would happen, geez.

This place is weird, alright? You have to stay calm and head to the apartments they pointed out to you when you got here -- it's not safe to be out at night.

[ voice; ]

[unmodel]

I'm going! I'm not going to stay out here when I don't even know where I am! I don't even stay out by myself in Queens!

[ just struggling to catch her breath and she sounds so freaked out that shes near tears and oh god what is happening why is this happening to her ]

Just -- why are you -- why are you doing this to me?

[ voice; ]

[ Trying his best to use his "calming" voice. She should recognize it. ]

--I'm not doing anything, MJ. You're most likely from a world or a time period where we're both the same age; the Core takes people from all over. I'm not going to hurt you, I promise.

[ voice; ]

[ after a moment she just... she lets out a quivery breath and goes silent. ]

[ voice; ]

[bythreadalone]

I know it's...a lot to wrap your head around. The same thing happened to me, too. Just...minus the screaming. Ow.

[ A little pause. What does he say next...]

I'm sorry, for what it's worth. [ ... ] I probably should've eased you into things better.

[ voice; ]

[unmodel]

[ another long pause. ]

I can't believe this.

[ voice; ]

[bythreadalone]

You're not the only one. [ Heh. ] I mean, I definitely didn't expect to run into you and Harry in the same week. It's nuts.

[ voice; ]

[unmodel]

That's not Harry.

[ but she doesnt sound absolutely certain ]

[ voice; ]

[bythreadalone]

He's the Harry from my world. [ DON'T ARGUE WITH ME YOUNG LADY. ] And if your's and mine are anything alike, you know it's not a good idea to mess with his head.
