001: [Video/Voice/Action] The FBI doesn't give ransom

[yesimagenius]

[Reid pokes at the communication device a moment, brow furrowed as he tries to figure it out. Finally the video flickers on and Reid is staring down at it. He's dressed in a button down shirt, tie and grandpa cardigan sweater. He's also leaning on a cane. He's nervous but managing to keep his cool. Reid is working at keeping his mind off the last time he was kidnapped. This isn't the same, he thinks to himself. He's not tied up. Maybe this isn't a kidnapping. Maybe...]

Uhm...I-I'm Dr. Spencer Reid with the FBI. I d-don't know who you are or where this is but someone will be coming for me. If you'd like to t-talk, you haven't done anything w-wrong yet. I'm not hurt. You need to talk to me n-now because holding a federal agent against his will is a crime.

Haa... I do not think reasoning will help. This world does not follow the same laws as yours. 'Welcome to Wonderland'.

...What is an 'FBI'?

Re: [voice]

[Obviously confused and defensive] Uhm...excuse me, are you responsible for bringing me here?

The Federal Bureau of Investigation.

[azureflamegod.livejournal.com]

No, but you are not the only one trapped here. I am Kite of the Azure Flame. It is nice to meet you.

Ah, I see. What do you investigate?

[VIDEO] ...cause he can't figure out how to turn it off.

[dontcallmemika.livejournal.com]

You're new here too then, huh? I haven't been here long.

Re: [VIDEO] ...cause he can't figure out how to turn it off.

[yes-imagenius.livejournal.com]

Y-yeah. I'm...uhm...I'm not even sure where here is.

[Video shows him kind of hobbling around a bit, exploring the place so to speak.]

..FBI? As in, the FBI?

Who's holding you against your will?

Re: [voice]

[yes-imagenius.livejournal.com]

[Reid is extremely relieved to hear from someone who knows who he works for]

Yes, I'm with the BAU.

Uhm...I'm not sure? The...uhm th-the mansion?

[geokinetic.livejournal.com]

Yeahhhh... you probably already heard this by now, but, uh. You're kinda stuck.

[yes-imagenius.livejournal.com]

Y-yes. I don't understand wh-why.

FBI, huh? You wouldn't happen to be from a version of the U.S. that knows anything about Operation Manticore, would you?

And yeah, I said "version of the world." Hope you're down with parallel universes and the whole deal.

Re: [Voice]

[yes-imagenius.livejournal.com]

Operation Manticore? I don't think so. It could be above my clearance level.

...

[Give him a second]

Like the Einstein-Rosem Bridge?

I haven't been in contact with any black holes that I'm aware of.

[haruhifujioka.livejournal.com]

No one will be coming for you.

[yes-imagenius.livejournal.com]

I'm a valuable member of my team. They'll come for me.

[pastel-memory.livejournal.com]

You're safe, don't worry. Are you okay?

[yes-imagenius.livejournal.com]

I th-think that's a relative term. I'm in a place I don't know. Everyone is telling me I'm stuck and that n-no one is coming f-for me.

I'm not hurt physically.

[helena-campbell.livejournal.com]

You're with the FBI? A doctor, too. You must be pretty smart. Which is good, because we need smart people here.

...And also, if someone comes along and wants to hug you, and says he's America, just believe him for now.

[yes-imagenius.livejournal.com]

Yes. Uhm...I don't believe that intelligence can really be accurately quantified but...yes. I'm smart. I'm not a medical doctor. I've got doctorates in mathematics, chemistry and engineering. M-most people think MD when I use my title.


...Alright. Is this--uhm...it's not a--

[He flounders for a minute, tweaking out a bit and obviously very bothered by what has occurred to him]

Is this a mental facility?

[Coraline's caught somewhere between awe and precocious skepticism]

The FBI? Really?

2/2

[exploring-game.livejournal.com]

I'm...sorry, but I don't think the mansion here can really be afraid about the FBI.

[wrong-lever.livejournal.com]

A crime, hm? Imagine how much ransom they'll fetch for all the royals here.

[yes-imagenius.livejournal.com]

G-generally the FBI doesn't offer ransom. At least not as a resolution.

[wayward-sam.livejournal.com]

FBI?

Uh... you wouldn't happen to be friends with a guy named Agent Hendrickson, would you?

[yes-imagenius.livejournal.com]

N-no I don't think so. I'm in a pretty specialized unit called the BAU. We hunt Serial killers and h-honestly we don't have m-much contact with the rest of the FBI.

[notyetginger.livejournal.com]

FBI? I always preferred the Met, but the FBI! Brilliant!

Oh, I do love your cardigan. It wouldn't happen to be from the eighties?

*flails at the sweater comment and loves*

[yes-imagenius.livejournal.com]

The United Kingdom's National Weather service? Are you a meteorologist? I like my job. It's kind of super sometimes. I'm with the BAU there.

Uhm...I don't know? Maybe. I got it at a thrift store in DC.
