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

The real FBI

Uhm...yeah I'm sort of getting that. It's...odd.

[exploring-game.livejournal.com]

That's...really cool, so you catch terrorists and mobsters?

Sorry, Mr. Agent Reid. The mansion's sort of more of a universe kidnapper, and I think it's the mirror-queen who's in charge of it.

[yes-imagenius.livejournal.com]

Actually I specialize in serial killers.

Uhm...I'm not an agent technically. It's--not important. The mirror-queen? Not the queen of hearts?

[exploring-game.livejournal.com]

Oh. Gosh.

Not technically? What are you? I've never met an FBI Ag- Person, before.

Lots of people call her the Queen of Hearts. She's a Beldam who lives behind the mirrors with our bad-side mirror copies, who are her servants.

I'm a doctor. Ph.D. It takes prescient over my SSA title. It lets the people we work with know I'm an expert of sorts. I still have to learn everything the SSA's do and pass the tests they do.

Mirror copies of us?

[exploring-game.livejournal.com]

Oh. So you're a doctor-agent? That must take a lot of college.

I'm Coraline Jones.

Uh huh. Other-Us. Mirror me and you. They're not usually too nice.

[yes-imagenius.livejournal.com]

S-s-sort of--yes. Uhm...I've got 3 doctorates and 2 and a half BA's so...yes?

Nice to meet you, Coraline.

Right. Sort of like Star Trek's Mirror Universe?

[exploring-game.livejournal.com]

Oh.

It's nice to meet you too. Do you know if I'm listed missing or anything back home? I just moved to Oregon. They say when you're here maybe it's like time's stuck and no one'll notice, but I'm not sure.

...Maybe? I don't know that.

[yes-imagenius.livejournal.com]

As far as I know, you aren't but I don't really deal with missing persons unless it becomes a pattern; the same demographic, the same area, same MO.

Oooh! You should see Star Trek.

[exploring-game.livejournal.com]

Oh. Well...kids have gone missing in my house over the past hundred years! There's a Beldam who lives behind the bricked up wall! You should look into the case, 'cause I bet the police and my parents will never believe me!

There's people here who have been to space before....I haven't seen Kaylee around lately.

[yes-imagenius.livejournal.com]

What town do you live in? Th-that's definitely a pattern. I'm n-not sure about the Beldam b-but it should be looked into.

R-really? I'd love to talk to her.

[exploring-game.livejournal.com]

Town Boring of Boresville, Oregon....I actually don't remember. We just moved...and then I've been here since Valentine's Day. I can't remember the Zip Code, either.

I've looked into it, and taken care of most of her already. And I returned the kids' souls! But it's something the government should know about. Like aliens.

I'll see if she's in her room...

[yes-imagenius.livejournal.com]

If we ever get back to where we belong, I promise I'll have my team look into it.

Thanks!
