Dated to June 7th

[Matt Abbot sits before you today in a spinny desk chair, illuminated by his laptop screen. If you thought Matt couldn’t get dumber, you were wrong. You were very wrong. He is making good on his threats of stupidity so over the top they’re impossible to believe. Today Matt is wearing a surprisingly well made masquerade-style eye mask, black with a diagonal cut of blue over his left eye. And he is also wearing a surprising well made collared cape, black with a blue lining. He is also just wearing generally nice clothing under it because you can totally dress like a supervillain and still be stylish.

He steeples his fingers, a sly(ish) smile on his face.]


Greetings, Numbered. As I have been recently freed from the mortal prison of mandatory education, I am now free to pursue any future I wish. … Until August because I have already paid my tuition deposit.

But until August, Locke City, you are being watched. I will be your worst nightmare. I will be a supervillain the likes of which none of you have ever seen before. Such dastardly deeds as speaking in a fake New Jersey accent, directing tourists to the wrong streets and ripping tags off mattresses will happen on the streets every day for as long as I remain in its borders. I will accomplish all my good deeds by questionable means, causing me to become a terrible menace who will puzzle philosophy majors because no one can tell if I'm actually being a bad person. [He leans back in his chair, doing his best to look mysterious and dangerous.]

My first dastardly deed will be a kidnapping. Next Monday, June 16th, I will be kidnapping one of your number, heroes, and taking him with me to Las Vegas. If you wish to guarantee his safety, there is room for two others to accompany us on our cross-country trip. If you wish to ensure his safe return to New Jersey, then you may contact me and we will discuss plans.

[And with that the video turns off. However, Matt is still going, typing. He’s posting a selfie, too, of him in graduation robes. He’s got the National Honor Society gold graduation stole and everything.]

Graduation’s next weekend, too. My parents and my aunt and uncle are the reason I can take the trip--the car’s a graduation thing. Being serious for a second, though, if you want to come, the car is big enough that it won’t be an awful trip. Leaving the 16th at 8AM. If you’re under 18, I need parental permission. I’ll text you my number.
peacefulwinter: (Mm...)

There's nothing to study here, though. We can't learn anything unless we're there on the ground. Taking fewer risks is one thing, but... it's not like taking a risk is what got Lily hurt in the first place. We were going out to buy cake mix on the Strip. [It sounds so stupid to put it like that when Lily was so gravely injured, but it's the truth. Which galls her even more.]

Still... I do understand what you mean. It's hard for me to admit that we didn't manage to do anything, but I think we started to make some discoveries in that last two weeks. We just didn't get a chance to investigate before... that. And I know that it might not be a good idea to go back and look into things right away. Especially if you'll be there. I don't want to, but... I might have to leave things to you. I have to talk to everyone and see what they want to do, but after all this, I think staying behind for a little while really might be a good idea.
peacefulwinter: (I have reservations about this...)

I know that! I just don't know how to make the plan, because I don't know what's going on! And... I don't have the faith in myself to make a good decision. I need to talk to Lily. I'm... going to make a mistake if I'm not careful. And right now, I'm not BEING careful. I recognize that. I'm just reacting because I'm scared of what might happen if I make a decision and it's wrong.

Sorry, I'm not really making sense right now. I just don't want to get anyone else hurt. I know the world isn't a nice place where a good decision will keep everyone safe, but if I can prevent that, then it's my responsiblity to try.
