Item 1 - Video!

[Video clicks on, and lo! It's a teenage boy with a shock of grey hair. He's walking as he talks, wandering the halls of the Barge apparently aimlessly.]

Uh, hey, I don't wanna cause a stink, but there's been some kind of terrible mistake here. My- uh, my parents, are going to be losing their minds back home in New Jersey...

[There might be something ever so slightly shifty about how he says this, but then again, he is a recently deceased teenage boy. He could easily just be nervous.]

All of this-- this inmate stuff? Yeah, you definitely got the wrong guy for that. I got a perfectly normal, crime free life, back home with my family. Yes, we cheat on our taxes and have the occasional three am family-document-shredding-party, but who doesn't? By nine am we're back to pancakes and oatmeal, and that, [decisive finger jab at the screen.] Is how you live the American dream, right?

[Private to Inmates]

So, does anyone ever actually escape from this place?

I don't care. Escape, rebel, kill someone, lock yourself in your room, whatever. But don't sit around and wait for the fact that you think it's not real save you from it.

I don't think you get it. I'm not expecting to wake up one day in the real world, I don't even think it's possible. This place, the whole universe not being real? How is that gonna save me from jack?

But, y'know, once you know something... [He shrugs a full body shrug, lifting his hands up to ear-height as he does so.] ...can't exactly stop knowing it.

But hey: Shut up, and don't expect to be saved. Good advice.

[He's not even sassing you, Arthas. He's treading too carefully for that.]

Thanks.
