A-all right. It's been about -- it's been a while, a few weeks, but who knows for sure? It's hard to keep track of time around here, isn't it? I can't be the only one having this problem.

[ The video doesn't show anyone at first, just a dark room; after a few moments though, Harry turns the camera on his tired, pale face, the shadowy lines rimming his eyes stark in contrast especially in the poor light. He's lying back on his bed, so it seems. In fact, he has the look of someone who has probably not left his room much recently, if at all, because spoilers: he definitely hasn't. It's a legit look, albeit subtle. ]

Since I've been here, that is. Time flies, I think. It's at least doing a good impression of passing.

[ He does manage a smile, though it's perhaps a slightly unnerving one. Very detached. ]

Certainly enough time to immerse myself in the reality of unreality. That's the way to do it, right? Accept the dream, no questions, it's easy and I know how appealing easy is. Really. At least the food tastes like food and the beds feel like beds. Uh -- a pretty perfect simulation, if it is one. The monsters and mayhem are a nice touch, too.

But I -- I can't really get my mind around it. Someone told me we were supposed to be like a flight crew, but this feels a lot more like a giant psych ward to me. I don't know why I'd be here. None of it really fits together b-but maybe that's just the newness talking.

[ His eyes narrow slightly, wearily, his eyebrows furrowed a little skeptically. There's something mildly paranoid about his expression, though he does a fair job of repressing it. When you're prone to hallucinations, staving off the discomfort of withdrawal, almost (or actually?) died and keep yourself creepy and antisocial, it's hard to know for sure what's real and what isn't. ]

Uh. It's Osborn, by the way, if anyone can really hear this. Harold Osborn, though most people just stick to "Harry." Hi.

Hello Harry. It is hard yes but it gets better.

[a pause before she responds]

The second one mostly. The first one depends on where you come from.

[.....goddammit this thing is getting old. He's fairly sure this they're not from the same universe because wasn't he a dead teenager or something?]

As in Oscorp and Green Goblin Osborn?

I'm new as well. It's been--Getting used to all of this, or trying to, has been difficult. So I can relate. And, and all the people saying that we'll get used to it eventually, I know they're trying to help but. It doesn't always.

Do they have such things in your world?
wolfinthesnow: (Jon - over the shoulder commentary)

[personal profile] wolfinthesnow 2013-01-20 04:27 am (UTC)(link)
Well mine has no such things. We cannot even imagine them.

[Well that was interesting. He was only checking to see if it was the same son of Norman.]

Possibly? [In a way if you count interactions with your AU self.] Assuming similar social circles of the rich and famous and I've worked with Spider-Man a couple of times.

[Assuming the creepy fixation is universal.]

Exactly. I even have, there's someone from my world who claims to know me in the future. Which is extremely awkward. To, to say the least.

It's also deeply unsettling how everyone else seems so...settled. Even though there's actual monsters and--

[She makes a grimace and shakes her head.]

Tiny, bite sized pieces are...much better. Otherwise you choke.

...I'm Bennett, by the way.

When we arrived, it was much harder. I suspect that my brothers, who came first, had a harder time than I.

I think "psych ward" is a rather negative way to put it, sir. It seems to me we're a reasonably functional society.

Six, or seven jumps.

Is this your first?
