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

[ Speechless... ]

[ voice; ]

[unmodel]

[ her voice is shaking again and shes shaking her head off mic ]

That's not Harry.

[ SO DEEP INTO DENIAL ]

[ voice; ]

[bythreadalone]

Okay...We'll skip that, then.

[ Sighs. ]

Outside of...all of this that's happening right now, are you okay? Are you still at the baseball diamond?

[ voice; ]

[unmodel]

Y-yeah, I'm okay. I'm not hurt or anything. Just really, really freaked out.

[ a beat ]

I didn't want to wander off but I should -- [ Get off the streets ]. I'm just trying to find my way back.

[ voice; ]

[bythreadalone]

Good, good. I know we're not exactly your favorite people right now, but my friend and I are going over there now. [ This is such a bad idea. ]

Please don't freak out.

[ voice; ]

[unmodel]

[ that is such a bad idea ]

How am I -- not supposed to freak out? Not freaking out is the last thing I want to do.

Well, look at it this way: you can freak out and get a whole lot of bupkis done, or you can be strong and take control of the situation, act more like the MJ I know, and let us help you get to somewhere safe for the night.

I promise we won't stick around, and I promise that the guy calling himself Harry won't snap and do anything to freak you out again as long as I'm there.

That sound good?

[ voice; ]

[unmodel]

[ a long, slightly uncomfortable silence from her before she speaks up ]

Okay. That sounds good.

[ voice; ]

[bythreadalone]

Yeah. I--

[ Silence on his end, as well. And then: ]

--I know it sucks, believe me.

[ voice; ] ITS YOUR TURN IN THE OTHER THREAD BABY

[unmodel]

[ she lets out a small sigh ]

It could be worse.

[ voice; ] OKAY I GOT THIS.

[bythreadalone]

Yeah, like Doctor Octopus trying to crash Prom again worse.

[ He lets out a little laugh. ]

[ voice; ] UGH SORRY FOR TAKING SO LONG AND THANKS DARLING

[unmodel]

[ um ]

What?

[ voice; ] IT IS TOTALLY OKAY

[bythreadalone]

It's -- a thing that happened. On my Earth. Man, don't even get me started.

Re: [ voice; ] IT IS TOTALLY OKAY

[unmodel]

"On your Earth." [ which is also just as weird and said in the exact same incredulous tone.

god she can't believe this is happening ]

So that must have happened a long time ago for you, huh.

[ voice; ]

[bythreadalone]

Do you really want to know? I'd think you'd have enough on your mind already.

[ voice; ]

[unmodel]

I'm -- I'm curious. But now isn't really the time to ask.

[ sighing under her breath ]
