[The video clicks on to show Owen carefully adjusting the camera aimed at himself. He regards the unknown audience blandly, face impassive. He sounds just very mildly annoyed.]
As interesting as this place is, I believe I'm late for a meeting. If this is some manner of... prank, there will be repercussions. Otherwise, if anyone knows the

Owen, you're here.

[She smiles, not sure if she should be glad that Owen is there or upset that Owen is away from home. But, she reminds herself, that with the nature of time at this place, she isn't away from home, either.]

David and I are playing a game; working against each other again. Don't tip our hand till we've consolidated the board~. It's good that you're here, though. This is...a big mess.

This place is 'Adstringendum', are there legends I don't know about or do I need to tell you what I've figured out so far?

[He's probably relieved to see her. It's hard to tell, with Owen. The eyebrows have relaxed a little, maybe.]

Ah. Of course not. I assume Mr. Xanatos will wish to make contact, as well. I'm afraid this place is... unfamiliar to me. How is Alexander?

He's...not here.

[It obviously bothers her, but she's not completely freaking out, so there's obviously a little more going on than there seems. Fortunately, Fox is quick to explain.]

Time outside of this place is frozen relative to those of us here inside. David was here for two weeks before me, but I'd just seen him right before I got here. I've been here for nearly a month now, but when did you last see me?

[She's partially illustrating her point, but partially she wants him to confirm to her that she hasn't gone missing back home.]

[It takes him a moment too long to answer. His expression is always a little hard to read, but he registers something that looks almost like distress before he looks away a little, composing himself.]

...I see. Just this morning, of course, but it is plausible we have all gone missing at the same moment in time, there. I'm no expert on quantum mechanics, but that could still hold true while our appearance here might occur at different points.

[Probably not reassuring, but he's thinking out loud.]

Ah, Owen, I was wondering if I'd see you here.

[Private/Unhackable]

Have you spoken to Fox yet?

[agoodfellow]

Very good to see you, sir.

[Private/Unhackable]

Yes... She has briefed me on the nature of this place. And... that Alexander is not with us.

Stupid HTML

[just_asplanned]

Not exactly where I'd hoped to see you again, but I must admit the familiar face is welcome.

[Private/Unhackable]

Yes, so far it's just the three of us. *He sighs, then pulls himself back together.* That's why getting home is my first priority here.

Re: Xanatos has other people to do HTML for him.

[agoodfellow]

No sir, but I am here to assist you, now.

[Private/Unhackable]

No gargoyles, then? That is... interesting. I will do my best toward that end. I... belong where Alexander is, as well as yourself.

Xanathos?

Re: [audio]

[agoodfellow]

We seem to have made contact, now, thank you. And you are?

[audio]

[istoppedtime]

Someone who's heard the name. Didn't know about a Mrs., though.

Re: [audio]

[agoodfellow]

I see. Have you heard... anything else in association with his name?
