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.

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

They can't. The mansion only brings who she wants ... I think.

[He's going to have to think about that one for a little while]

The mansion is female?

[haruhifujioka.livejournal.com]

I don't know. The Queen is though, and she controls the mansion.

[yes-imagenius.livejournal.com]

Th-the Q-queen?

[He's beginning to put everything everyone has told him together]

Of Hearts?

[Like most books he's read, he can quote this one from memory if need be.]

I never imagined it was r-real.

[haruhifujioka.livejournal.com]

I don't think anyone did.

The mansion can be very dangerous.

[yes-imagenius.livejournal.com]

Because of the events?

[haruhifujioka.livejournal.com]

And other things.

[yes-imagenius.livejournal.com]

Other things?

[haruhifujioka.livejournal.com]

Residents, others that are trapped here, random things. There are a lot of things that can harm or kill you around here.

[yes-imagenius.livejournal.com]

Then I g-guess I'll have to be careful.

[haruhifujioka.livejournal.com]

Can you protect yourself?

[yes-imagenius.livejournal.com]

I've got my gun and I pass the FBI's tests every year.

[haruhifujioka.livejournal.com]

Alright.
