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.

...Right. That's what I thought. A medical doctor would have helped too, but there are already people here who can heal wounds much more quickly.

[She grins for a moment. Although the grin fades when she realizes he might have a point.]

I suppose not, although... Although you'll probably think it is, for a few days.

R-really?

[Reid's mother is a paranoid schizophrenic and lives in a mental facility. Her disease is genetic and he's terrified one of these days he'll 'get' it]

I th-think I'm relieved?

I don't really want to overdo the explanations, since you just got here. Try to imagine you're in a book; that should help for the first few days.

[Aww. :( ]

Don't worry, there are scientists here, researchers and things like that. We're all pretty much normal.

Well, most of us.

[yes-imagenius.livejournal.com]

Okay. I'm s-sort of leaning toward that at the moment as a coping strategy.

[And normal people with normal professions makes him feel a bit better]

D-do you think that people of those professions have been brought here for a reason?

[helena-campbell.livejournal.com]

...No. They've been trying to find a way out, but that doesn't seem to be working.

Which reminds me, I bet you'd love the library here.

[yes-imagenius.livejournal.com]

Maybe eventually. If they keep trying.

Oh? Is it a big library?

[helena-campbell.livejournal.com]

You have no idea. I can find just about everything there. Nothing about the Mansion, but other than that... I don't think it's let anyone down yet.

Ooooh I can't wait to check it out now. That sounds really super. I'll be trying to figure out the most obscure books to look for.
