[Work is going to keep Jesse out of trouble. That's why he's doing this, making a PSA when he would like nothing better than to bury his face in some powder. He looks miserable, but at least he's sober.]

The masks. I dunno if you guys, like, watch a lotta TV where you're from. But where I come from, movies'll teach you not to just mess around with mysterious creepy shit that shows up outta nowhere.

I already mentioned this to a couple people, but I'll get rid of your mask for you. I know they keep coming back, but I'll do it every day. My room's eight twenty-four. You can just drop it off there or at the science labs or give it to me if you see me around and I'll take care of the rest.

Uh, that's it. I guess.

A rather Sisyphean task. Why are you offering?

[hostage]

[You know he doesn't know that word, Edge.]

'cause I'd rather get rid of 'em than watch a bunch of idiots try them on and turn into monsters or something.

[jurisimpudent]

Turning into monsters seems like a bit of a stretch.

[bonus]

I might just do that. Mine's a bit too jubilant for my taste.

[hostage]

Yeah. They're all pretty ugly from what I seen.

Glad somebody said it. I thought I might. But I guess after a year in Creepy Canada, you learn something.

[hostage]

No kidding. I can't believe people are just cool with this shit.

[sugarbear]

Sissy. Yeah, I said it.

[hostage]

Whatever, bitch. It's your funeral.

[besiege]

How d'you get rid of it?

[hostage]

It ain't gone for good. I just keep destroying it every day.

[entrapments]

Well this is like, the first comment on these things that've made sense since they arrived.

[hostage]

Nice to hear I ain't paranoid for once.

I don't want mine.

[It's creepy and scary and just looks like a torture machine. Which it is.]

[hostage]

Aight. Don't worry, babe. I got this. Just drop it with me.

I'm not going to put mine on, but I don't think I'm going to mess with it either.

And I've already tried to destroy it once, but by the time I walked back to my room it was back on my door, and it- I dunno. It felt weird, like I did something wrong.

Just- be careful, okay? It's good of you to do everyone the favor, but not if it means it'll end up having some weird effect on you. I don't trust these masks at all.

I don't like 'em being around. I can feel it when I hide it. Even if it's getting pissed off, I feel better knowing I can get rid of it for a little while. And, I mean, there's no way it's good for people to be wearing 'em and keeping 'em. It's the least I can do.

[the_infiltrator]

Do the masks all do something different?

[hostage]

I ain't been experimenting with 'em. I just get rid of them.

voice;

[upheld]

You are the first to make mention of them coming back. [ so far two attempts at being rid of it and a single time of wearing it is enough. ]

How are you destroying them?

[hostage]

Melting 'em in acid.

[yardbird]

Glad to see that I'm not the only one who had that line of thought when those damned things first showed up.

[hostage]

How the hell was that not everybody's line of thought? Seriously.

[voice]

[wolfdreamer]

How many of these masks have you destroyed?

[hostage]

Just mine so far, but I did it lots of times to make sure nothing bad happened.
