[video]

[ Long time no see, Exsilium. The feed is dimly lit, but it's clear that Scott's standing outside, the dark silhouette of a treeline behind him. The sound's picking up a bit of static from a breeze. ]

Hey, it's Scott - I guess I should ask if people usually come back. When they leave, I mean.

[ That's actually the reason he was making this video, but he barely addresses it, because something's distracting him. ]

Because I did. Leave and come back. Which I guess is... something, but more importantly, does anyone know what the hell the "Fun Cafe" is?

[ There's a pause as he turns the video away from his face, swinging it around to face a creepy ass building on the side of the road, barely visible in the evening light. He holds the video there for a few seconds, then it's back to his slightly wary, slightly amused face. ]

... and does anybody want to find out?

Do not enter that building alone, Scott.

You -- remember? Uh, I don't think that's as common as the go back and come back not remembering, but don't quote me on that.

( Oh. Oh that building. Collette grins, leaning in to the tablet where it's propped up on her night-stand. )

You're the sort of guy who'd press the button that says, "Don't Press Me," aren't you?

I'll be careful. Worst case scenario, I bet it's just really boring.

[ false advertising, get it ]

At least permit me to accompany you.

Yeah. [ A pause, then clarification, partly because he's still confused himself. ] I mean - I didn't remember anything when I was there. But when I got back, it all came back, and - it's kind of like everything that happened back home was a weird dream, but it was really convincing.

[ Hang on, he's mostly just confused himself again. Let's stick with simpler topics. ]

No. [ But he can't help a slight smile, because- ] Maybe?

[ A grin, because hey, epic adventures with a zombie elf. ]

You sure? You know how to find me? I'm pretty sure I can send you my location.

How long were you out of it?

( It's something she wonders quite a bit about, as it's nothing she herself can do. )

Which so means yes. Tell me what you find out once you're inside! I'd totally offer to come along, but I've got -- ( she waggles her fingers ) ) -- business to attend to.

( Slight pout. )

If it's anything exciting, I'm going to be so bummed!

Out of here? I actually... don't really know. I think just a few days, but... I should probably check on that. [ Not long enough for people to notice his absence, apparently. ]

I was only there for a few days, so maybe it matches up? [ But man, what a ridiculous few days. He gets why Stiles and Isaac were a bit off around him, now. ]

And don't worry, I'll let you know if there's anything good. I'm trying to figure out how to record on this thing.

[ oh look who it is 8) ]

I was wonderin' where you'd crawled off to.

[Hey, it's some video. Video that's pointed at the floor and is half-concealed by...fabric or something. That's nice.]

There is very little about this establishment that appears to be 'fun'.

[ same to you butthead ]

Yeah, I bet you were really worried. I'm guessing you haven't given up on the whole "shooting innocent people in alleyways" thing.

[ ... what... sir. ]

Yeah, I guess - uh, did you mean to turn on the video?

... or are you a sentient floor. [ Zombie elves, man. All bets are off. ]

It seems as though its description lies in its title.

[ how little you understand, azrael ]

Do tell me if it lives up to the name.

And ruin the mystery? Now why would I ever want to do that?

You uh, don't remember exactly how managed to leave in the first place. Do you?

You left? [a pause... and then, rather more incredulously:] And you're going in there?

So what do you think's in there? [ Bet your definition of fun is not the same as Scott's. Or the person who built this thing. ]

I will. Maybe I can start a web series, "creepy locations in Exsilium".

Though I guess that's pretty much most of it.

For fun?

As far as I can tell, mysteries usually just lead to more mysteries, so solving one doesn't ruin much.

[ Though mysteries aren't really fun in his experience, but hey, to each his own. ]

no, sorry. i didn't even realize i'd left until i got back. i guess it's good, right? it means people who disappear here get back somehow.

I think so? That or I had a really convincing dream. [ Which he's had before, to be fair. But details synced up with what others said had happened, so it's enough to sell him on it. ]

And yeah, why not? Can't be that bad. It says it's "fun", right? [ ... only slightly messing with him. ]

You think so. [not impressed.]

...and you're very trusting. I could have 'fun' painted on the side of a pit of spears after this, if you're interested. [not that... that stupid dingy building looks dangerous at all. in fact, it feels stupid to even play devil's advocate on going into it, since it hardly seems a threat.] It's just that people typically do things with purpose.

[ Wow, judgy. Scott looks slightly taken aback, but his good humor doesn't suffer from it. ] I'm pretty sure. It was a few days, and - it was pretty detailed. [ And sometimes also horrible. He can only hope that wasn't all in his subconscious. ]

Don't worry, I can take care of myself. And the purpose is to find out what's inside. Is that not good enough, or... ?

I don't think you ought to check that out. But, er, I did that as well. Leave and come back, I mean. Only I don't remember it. . . . unless you mean travelling through worlds on our missions. In which case, no, I didn't do that.

[ . . .]

Sorry. My name is Merlin. I'm sort of making a mess of this, aren't I?
