[The video shows a young woman who looks unnerved but defiant. Her mask is currently in her hands and she seems in no hurry to wear it. When she speaks, her indignance is clear]This is ridiculous. I demand to know who's responsible for this and why I've been brought to this...whatever this place is. It doesn't matter. What matters is that I have a

[He really has no words. First Damien, and now this?]

Blair?

[doeeyedstare]

...

Eric? What's going on?

[operanerd]

I honestly wish I could explain it without sounding insane.

[doeeyedstare]

Right now? I'd settle for any explanation at all. Determination of your sanity can come later.

[operanerd]

We're in a dream world. They told everyone that we're just "waking up" from our other lives and that this is where we've been all along. I haven't been able to find a way back.

[doeeyedstare]

A dream world? So they think they can just bully us into living in their weird little freak-city? Well, we'll see about that.

How long have you been here?

[operanerd]

That's a good question. It must be around five months now.

[doeeyedstare]

Five months? But I've seen you plenty in the last five months. How can you have been here and back home at the same time?

[operanerd]

I don't know how it works. I can still watch myself do everything in the mirror, but I can't control any of it. I just don't watch anymore.

[doeeyedstare]

The...mirror?

[Guess who gets to witness her first proper look at the mirror which is kindly playing out life through her eyes]

Wait, but...what, they think they can get people to impersonate us and no-one will notice we're gone?

[operanerd]

I... I don't think it's an impersonation. I know it sounds crazy but I feel like it's still me out there.

[doeeyedstare]

[Blair's quiet a few moments more as she watches her mirror]

Well, maybe I'm crazy too because I think I know what you mean.

[operanerd]

I don't think we're crazy, Blair. I just think this is something really big going on here that we might not be able to get out of. I'm sorry.

[doeeyedstare]

[Blair shakes her head]

Unless someone proves to me that there is nothing we can do to leave, it's not hopeless. And you have nothing to apologise for.

[operanerd]

[He smiles a little, sighing.]

I'm glad you're here, Blair.

[doeeyedstare]

Well of course. Who wouldn't be?

[She's teasing, and her tone does nothing to hide it]

So, fill me in. What am I up against here?
