Entry #2
[This gets posted at around 4 A.M. and it's a video feed, which, if anyone's been contacted by Alex recently, is a little unusual. It's a clear visual on the inside of Alex's room - scandalous - which isn't terribly different from your typical college dorm room, with one notable exception.
It is liberally covered in weird, hastily-scribbled, ink-and-charcoal drawings. The long shot of one of the walls might give people enough time to read the most visible ones:
Distortion abruptly ripples across the screen, and the angle changes. Now the network will be treated to a clear shot of the floor of Alex's room, which is similarly carpeted in page after scrawled page of cryptic warnings and oblique messages, along with what looks to be a laundry list of crossed-out names - names like BRIAN and SARAH, JAY and TIM and SETH, any of which might be visible to the eagle-eyed.
With a flutter of static and an unpleasant, high-pitched screeching sound, the picture shifts one last time. Now someone's hands are in view, streaked with ink as they carve out yet another circle-and-x symbol into another sheet of paper with single-minded resolve. Then the feed buzzes, frames flickering, and switches off.]
((ooc: Alex won't respond until next morning since he's not doing any of this consciously - he's currently asleep. Feel free to respond with an action post, though you might have to wake him up first.))

Accompanied by several rough illustrations of pine trees and frequently punctuated with an odd symbol: a circle with an X slashed through it.OPERATOR

Did anything else strange happen before this started?

[Trust is a big ask from Alex Kralie. Talking about any of the shit that's happened to him - well, it'll more than likely be like pulling teeth.
Still, if he's going to make any progress in getting the memories clinging to him gone, he'll have to open up to someone.]
it's kind of uh

[Okay. That's a start.]
If you're willing to talk about it but don't want to do it here, I have an office on the fourth floor.
Angel Investigations. Can't miss the sign.

[Text]
Never had the heart to change it.
[Text]
what do you even do
[Text]
I handle cases the police can't. Supernatural stuff.
[Text]
back up
there are police here
???
[Text]
We get a stray cop here now and then, but efforts to organize haven't done well.
Too many people who are too stubborn to let anyone 'govern' them even the slightest bit.
You'd think they'd want the help, given we've had more than one murder spree here in the last few years.

well it sounds like an interesting setup i won't lie
got any job vacancies
[He mostly tacks that last part on a whim, though it occurs to him after the fact that he probably wouldn't mind that kind of work. He's used to it, after all. And it'd give him something to do other than sit and hide away all day.]
[Text]
[He might have been responsible for one of them. Oops?]
Always willing to let anyone with an interest hang around the office.
Never know when something up our alley might show up.
[Text]
i've done investigatey stuff before but not professionally
i tend to be good with a camera
well whenever my video isn't fucking up
[Text]
Professional is subjective, anyway. There aren't licenses for this kind of thing.
[Text]
who knows i might show up one of these days
[Text]
I'll be here.
