34 // videos // locked to ALL THE PEOPLE (one at a time)
The mirror in Alex's room has been covered for months, but the one in the bathroom gets a pass. His double can stare at the tiled wall till the cows come home if it makes him happy; from the bathroom, he can't see Alex.
But he can write ominous messages on the other side of the glass.
Alex's messages are hastily locked and quietly panicky, making them hackable with some effort. The first goes out to Sofia Lamb.
"Sof', are you there?"
And after he's spoken to her, he sends the same message to Mark. "Mark, you there? Pick up."
Then he calls J.

Yeah he really has no idea. But he loves that the timing made it look like he does.
Meanwhile, regular Alex is highly unamused by these shenanigans. ]
Tell us who it is!

Alex's comment does away with her idea of appearing entirely composed, but once said she might as well wait for a reaction.
She turns to the side just a little, hoping to signal that it's his question she wants answered. ]

Regular Alex makes an angry noise in his throat, then draws back and very deliberately stays by the wall rather than trying to punch his opposite in the face through the mirror-glass. ]
This is a waste of time.

[ Lamb takes one last look at the mirror, turns around and exits the bathroom, closing the door behind her.
Summary time! ]
I doubt your mirror withholds any more information. You said he may have wanted you to think that the body was J's. I believe that is the case.
Now I wonder, do you think it possible that Markus was lying as well?
no subject
I don't know. [ He hates having to say that. If only he could just say yes and believe that there's nothing to worry about. But that won't bring someone in out of the forest. ] I've never heard him lie before.
He told me J'd gone home as well.
[ Mosa is floating in his terrarium, eyeballing the two humans. Only his eyes and nostrils are above the surface, but the rest of his little trailing body is still visible through the glass sides. ]

Alex, I'm afraid at this point there is little we [ That's right, we. ] can do to help.
If the Operator is involved then our chances of finding whoever is lost in the forest and returning with them to the mansion are marginal at best.
[ Through this dire piece of information little Mosa remains sadly undiscussed, though Lamb did make a note to bring him up during a time when Alex is not on the verge of plunging himself into semi-certain death, as she fears may be the case now. ]

[ Alex isn't looking at Lamb, or precisely at anything; his mind's cartwheeling. If he goes out, then he'll likely get killed or even masked. If he doesn't go out, the Operator has another victim. If he does go out, then he'll likely get killed or even masked. If he doesn't go out, the Operator has another victim - the latest in a lot of victims. Another thought, even more dreadful, strikes him. ]
He's going for everyone. He's working his way through everyone in the mansion.

We have no reason at all to believe that, Alex.
