10 // video/action // now the party don't start till I walk in
[The wall comm' is on, and so are the lights. Except that that's not electrical light. Alex's room now sports a broad bay window.
The cameras are all off, and most of them are gone, including the one in front of the door and the camcorder that usually sits on the desk. Only three remain, and one of them is in Alex's hands, tripod and all, as he carries it across the room and slings it into the closet.
A CD player provides poppy background music. Alex whistles along while he works.
Off-camera, there's a towel pinned over the mirror.]
((OOC: for convenience's sake, let's say all threads which aren't J's or the Operator's happen before those two.))

Hey, d'you want to meet up? I want to meet J's regular while I'm here, too - we could make it a party. [The narration checked, and this conversation is before the one with J. Which is convenient, because the timeline is all booked up down there.]
[video]
*Much as he wouldn't mind meeting the non-paranoid cheerful version of Alex, being in the same room as J would be... uncomfortable to put it mildly.*
I'm gonna have to pass. I uh.. *he holds up his bandaged hands as an explanation* am probably gonna take a bunch of pain meds and pass out. Raincheck?
[video]
...Okay, I can't argue with those. But don't leave it too long, I dunno when I'm going back. What happened?
[video]
*Normally he wouldn't admit that. But he figures Mirror Alex would know all about his nighttime escapades anyway.*
[video]
[ With the air of someone fact-checking a particularly interesting tale. ]
[video]
That's his name? I uh .. well yeah.
Wait .. he has a mirror too?
[video]
[ Blink. Blink. ]
Well... yeah, of course he has a mirror?
[video]
*Tim stares off into space thinking about the fact that there were potentially four of him running around. Wait a minute ... what's with the emphasis on too?*
Do I have a mirror?
[video]
Well... yeah, there's Masky. I mean, I've never seen him take the mask off, but...
[video]
*His voice is very soft and shaky as he finally gets up the courage to ask:*
What's he like?
*Nope, still not looking at you Alex. Gosh whatever is just below the camera sure is interesting.*
[video]
Uh... bubbly? Vivacious? We do a lot of baking together. What's... the matter...?
[video]
I ..... see.
Nothing. I'm just.. Just gonna go now. Have fun meeting J.
[video]
Wait - wait, you are the same person, right? Tim and Masky - you've just taken the mask off, right?
[video]
I don't kill people. Or work for that fucking creature in the woods. Or wear some stupid mask. OR RIP DOORS OFF THEIR HINGES WITH MY BARE HANDS!!
[video]
...Oh.
...
Ah.
[video]
Sorry.
I just.
*He sighs and lights his 23429 cigarette of the day.*
[video]
[ He's about to say 'that's all right', automatically. But wait. This doesn't make sense. ]
But - if you're not the same person, how can you possibly not have a mirror?
[video]
*He sighs*
Look, I'm gonna go. I'm bleeding again and .. Enjoy meeting all the regulars or whatever it is you call us.
*and he snaps off the feed with his delightfully bloody hands*
