[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.

[hostage]

Really.

[Really.]

[jurisimpudent]

Indeed. How would it work scientifically?

[hostage]

Shit, you're right. That'd be totally illogical in this place that makes perfect sense all the time.

[bonus]

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

[jurisimpudent]

There's no call to be facetious. I'm merely saying that it's a fallacy to assume that merely because one improbable thing has occurred, all improbable things are possible.

[hostage]

Yeah, well, I ain't taking my chances.

[jurisimpudent]

...Besides which, we're not simply all automatically suspicious of the possessions from home which appear for us, are we?

[hostage]

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

[hostage]

I am.

[jurisimpudent]

[Oh.]

Then what do you do with said possessions?

[bonus]

Indeed! Not to offend whoever went through the trouble of making them, that is. [He doesn't sound too worried. At all.] How are you getting rid of these unfortunate gifts, if I may ask?

[hostage]

Get rid of 'em. At least, the stuff that's there to mess with me.

[hostage]

Melting 'em down in acid.

[bonus]

And they'll still keep coming back?

[hostage]

Yep.

[bonus]

[Huh.]

Someone has a lot of time in their hands.

[jurisimpudent]

What do you mean, "That's there to mess with you"?

[hostage]

Pretty damn creepy, right?

[hostage]

You know what I mean.

[bonus]

Just a bit disturbing, yes.

[jurisimpudent]

I fear I do not.

[hostage]

Anyway, as long as people ain't idiots, we can handle a few haunted masks. I got no problem doing this.
