01 ♛ video
[ the video feed starts, and lydia's not paying attention; in fact, she'd been using the darkened screen of her device in order to check the status of her lip gloss and mascara. the latter is slightly smudged underneath one eye, as if she's recently been crying, but it's the only sign of any distress as she quickly plasters a different expression on, mouth pouting slightly. ]
I would like to state, for the record, that this is ridiculous. Absolutely, completely - ridiculous.
I mean, they say that the first part of debunking a hallucination is to acknowledge its total lack of infallibility.
Or something.
Besides, the whole 'waking up in Wonderland' cliché? So tired.
[ she pauses, eyes narrowing, and stares a little more intently at the camera, as if silently daring someone to challenge her.
and then she sighs, quietly, the camera panning to the rows and rows of books behind her - several of the titles in different languages - before the feed cuts out. ]

[ even as she says it, she knows - knows he's not lying to her. but it explains so much. like why she'd fallen asleep on the bus and woken up here, with no way to determine who had brought her here. it's why certain things aren't adding up and why she's getting that sinking feeling in her gut that this won't be as simple as closing her eyes and falling asleep to get home. ]
What's the last thing you remember?
action; ekhfbdjfh jesus my tags are so late lately i'm so sorry
The last thing I remember from home 's the Jackson debacle. [ He doesn't want to go into much detail. Remembering Lydia saving Jackson through loving him is something he might be a tiny bit bitter about. ] Which...judging by your face, is way, way off, isn't it.
action; shhhh these are so worth it
He's been in London since before school started. Or who knows, maybe he's traipsing all over Europe. He could be halfway to China for all I care.
action; ;^; i'll boomerang you to make up for it ok ♥
--Since before school started? Wait, so you already started school again. You're way the hell ahead of me.
action; eeee okay
So I've been told. Look, how much do you know about what's been going on?
[ it feels really odd to be the one explaining this to him when their positions had been reversed not too long ago. ]
action; ♥♥
Honestly, nothing. I talked to Allison about it a little, but she's not been super forthcoming and Scott and Derek and I are all kind of a blast from the past. Or you're from the future, I guess, depending on how you look at it.
action;
[ she says it almost matter-of-fact, as if she hasn't been stumbling upon dead bodies left and right. practically. ]
action;
Of course I don't know about the sacrifices, there are sacrifices?! What the hell!
action;
[ it's not anything anyone wants to be patting themselves on the back for, but we digress. ]
Meanwhile I'm the one who kept finding the bodies.
