[ Brianna is sitting outside near the lake when she decides to play again, putting aside the book she was half-heartedly reading anyway. ]
We should play a game, maybe break up the day a little bit. It's called 'Would You Rather?' Basically, someone gives a scenario and you have to pick one or the other. No in between. You can explain your choice if you want, but we go back and forth until there's something so impossible to pick the other person gives up.
I'll even start.
[ She thinks for a moment, then looks back at the camera. ]
Would you rather know each time you're going to leave and come back when it comes to Wonderland, or would you rather it be a total surprise like it is now only you get to remember being here when you do leave?
I think I'd want to know when I was leaving. That way I could say goodbye, you know?
Anyway. Your turn.

[ Bree's eyebrows shoot up. ]
Your girlfriend's here? That's pretty lucky.
Video
[He doesn't seem that bothered about it. His angst for the situation he lives in burned out years ago. It is what it is. He brightens considerably at the chance to talk about his favourite topic.]
Yeah! I'm super lucky. I mean...she was here before I was. She's been here since she was eleven. Um...obviously she's had trips home and aged some since then. It's not that weird. But I feel really lucky to have her around. And in my life in general.
Video
You know, my mom told me she was here once and left. When she came back she was twenty years older than she had been before. This place is insane. And I'm glad you have someone you really care about here with you. Makes everything easier, I think.
[ There's no way Bree would have survived Randall alone. ]
Video
Twenty years? jesus, That's a long ass time to be away from here. I think I'd forget where everything was. I only went home for like two weeks and that was hard enough to adjust back to. You mom's gotta be some kind of trooper. Nice you got her here, though.
[Family is important.]
It sure does. Whatever crazy bullshit the mansion throws at, I know I can deal with it with her around.
Video
You know, we kind of lost track of our game, but I'm enjoying talking to you. I'm Brianna, by the way. Or just Bree.
Video
Guess we did. But hey, I'm not complaining. I'm enjoying talking to you too. Name's Louis. On occasion just Lou. [He'll wink at the screen. Like he's the funniest guy ever.]
Video
[ She smiles at him, properly amused by him and genuinely glad to make his acquaintance. ]
And you've done a really great job of distracting me from my own thoughts, so you're kind of a personal hero right now.
Video
[This is what he does best, distracting people from the awful bullshit going on in their own heads. He's glad he's managed it again. ]
What can I say? I do what I can. Glad to be a distraction for a while. I'm always good for those.
Video
[ She smiles, just a tad sheepishly. ]
Video
Hey now, playing slightly introspective games is the best way to get to know people. I'd swear by it. [He flashes her a patented Louis Wink.] But sure thing. I'll bear that in mind.
Video
[ For now, she should head back to her room, and she gives a little wave. ]
See you around, Lou.
Video
[He grins, giving a little salute.]
Later gator.
