first { video

[ The communicator comes on in the middle of some confused button-pressing, so don't be alarmed when it goes from video to audio, then back to video. Have a nice view of Galen's face at an awkward angle. ]

-- ou mean, new home? What the hell does that mean? Hello? Jesse?

[ The angle gets a little less weird as he lifts the communicator to eye level and peers at it under his glasses. He then drops them back onto his nose and moves his arm back a few inches from his face, showing the ajar front door of one of the houses (number sixteen, actually) behind him. ]

Hello? Can anyone hear this? What the fuck just happened to me? [ He swallows anxiously and looks around the area outside the house. ] ... Hello?

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[ It's ajar for a reason.

Mainly because one Forrest Bondurant was making tea and then headed out to check on a few things.

And, currently, when the door fully opens (and the other's done talking), Forrest is behind him. Mug raised, hat on, cardigan sagging with the weight of heavy brass knuckles in the pockets.

He takes a sip, waits patiently for whomever it is to notice him. ]

[ After a moment more of staring out at the area outside the house, Galen gives the buttons on the communicator another frustrated push -- and then he notices that there's a presence behind him. He doesn't turn, for a second; not until he manages to get his heart out of his throat and will himself to do it.

[ So he turns, quickly, hands immediately going up, even though he technically isn't doing anything wrong. At least, he thinks so. Wow, he's so disoriented right now. ]

Oh -- shit. Hi. Ah -- uh. Do you live here?

[ Forrest's response is slow, languid. It's not drawn out purposely--not quite--but he raises the mug to his lips, sips. Grunts in a non-committal way, and while he doesn't shrug he might as well.

...Then again, Cape Kore is different from Franklin County in Virginia. He looks the other over, looking either bored or unimpressed, and takes another sip. ]

Y'new arrival, boy?

I don't -- I guess so? [ He watches Forrest, completely puzzled. What the hell is going on here? ] If by that you mean I just - hah - I just woke up in a stairwell and don't know where the fuck I am, then that sounds about right, yeah.

Dude. Did you hit your head? Did you change your HAIR?! Who's Jesse? Why am I asking so many questions?!

[Something... is a little off about all of this.]

[ WHOA, hold on while he fusses with this communicator again. There's life out there! ]

He's -- wait -- what? Do I know you?

... [Something is REALLY off about all this.]

Oooookay, gonna go with head trauma. Are you serious right now? Unless this entire time you've had some evil twin running arou--OH! [Oh. Oh fuck. The Natashas. What if this is some alternate universe shit and it's not even--]

That... depends? What's your name?

[ Wow. Wow. Craziest words being said to him right now. He stares in confusion, glancing around every few seconds to make sure no one's, like... coming at him. ]

Alright, that made approximately zero sense, but, uh -- [ He shakes his head, as if to shake his name loose. ] It's Galen. Howard. Can you please explain what the hell is going on?

[ Flick, someone's contacting you, gurlfrand. ]

Um... hey, Kenzi?

Sup, babycakes?! [She knows it's Squishy and not Mr. Bitey by the blatant lack of LOUD AND IN YOUR FACE!]

Why the prominent lack of visage on my screen?

[ He sounds sheepish. ] Yeaaaah, about that. Uh -- I think I'm gonna need your help with something.

Who the fuck is Jesse? What the fuck did you do? [He pauses.] Did you... hit your head?

No, I didn't hit my fucking head! [ Sorry, sorry, he's -- stressed. Juuuust a little stressed. ] Or, y'know what, maybe I did, because this is -- fuck. This is crazy. Great. This is crazy!

Okay, what the fuck did you do to your hair and whose glasses are those, you cockstain?

No worries, man, just your regular ol' run of the mill kidnapping type deals. Welcome to the club.

[ He fumbles with the communicator and looks uneasily at Stiles. ] Hah -- yeah, that's what I'm hearing. I've always wanted to be kidnapped for fucking science. This is gonna look awesome in my autobiography.

[ Stiles raises a placating palm. ] I come in peace.

That'll jazz that thing right up. The starting sentence, "I awoke in some craphole that had never heard of a DVD player."

[Ooo, new neighbors! Kurt's going to scurry out of number 17, all bundled up against the cold, bright-eyed and red-cheeked.] Welcome! You're new here, right?

[:D?]

[ SUDDENLY. TEENAGER. He turns. ] Whoa! Hey. I guess so? [ He's had the rundown at this point. Sort of. ] Hi. I'm, uh -- I'm Galen. [ Hand! ]

[Excited teenager! Who will give Galen the heartiest, most enthusiastic handshake he's ever gotten from a fellow kidnap-ee in a creepy remote coastal town.] Kurt Hummel, pleased to make your acquaintance!

I live right across the way. [Waves a hand at number 16, which has obviously been decorated by someone with an eye for design -- there are embroidered curtains in the windows and a carefully polished bronze swan on the front porch.]
