[Oh! He's back to broadcasting video! At least for this occasion. For anyone who saw him while he was detoxing: he looks much healthier now. More color to his skin, no sheen of cold sweat. His eyes are still ringed by dark circles, given his ongoing insomnia, but he no longer seems like he's on death's doorstep. His tremors are less pronounced, only occasionally noticeable. Slow improvement... which doesn't include his mood. He doesn't look much like he wants to be talking right now. He's grumpy and tired, damn it.]

Yo. I'm Jesse, for you guys that showed up this last time. Real quick just wanted to say: we do this thing every month, like... getting together to bake cookies for the new guys. It's pretty big, so we use a few different kitchens, but I got all the supplies and ingredients and everything...

Anyway. It's almost that time again. Collette's all on my ass so I guess I'm back to running things. I was thinking we'd get together - what is it? - uhh... 30th. Yeah, 30th. Room 409. You can come even if you don't know how to make cookies. It's real easy, I'll show you and we all kinda do it together.

Then, on the 1st, I set up a tent outside and give 'em away. You can help out there, too, if you want. It's pretty cold and wet, though, so that sucks. No pressure. Don't have to hang out the whole time or anything.

...Yeah. So.


((OOC note: this does overlap with the upcoming mission, which Jesse won't be going on.))

The more the merrier, yo.

[marbled]

Alright.... yo. [ She adds that on just to test it. Does she sound cool too? ]

[hostage]

[His face cracks into a smile. Wow, that was adorable.]

[marbled]

The thirtieth is a little under a week from now, isn't it?

[ This whole month has passed by so quick. ] They really do come every month on the same day?

[hostage]

Yup, yeah. So far.

[marbled]

What do you think about that? Is it strange or kind of ordinary for you?

[hostage]

It don't make any less sense than the rest of it, right?

[marbled]

People leave at random times, but they all arrive around the same time. It doesn't make any sense, no.

[hostage]

[He doesn't really want to mention that it's probably because the people who "leave" are actually dying in a gas chamber somewhere or something. Probably.]

It's probably just easier for, like, registration or whatever. You know, like the first day of school?

[marbled]

Oh, that makes sense.

[ When he words it like that, it really does. ] Easier to transfer people one at a time after registration--kind of like going to a new class?

[hostage]

Exactly, yeah.
