Is uh, this thing on?

[ Jason stares uneasily into the screen, eyes flickering from side to side back to device rapidly, almost as if he’s afraid he’s about to be ambushed at any moment. ]

I’m— Jesus. Fuck. I’m actually not Jesus, but I'm lost, and I know this is gonna sound crazy, but is any of this real? I’m not on shrooms, I haven’t done anything lately, and— Jesus.

[ his breath speeds up rapidly for a few seconds, before he finds his zen and calms down. Think of it as facetime, Jason. You’re using your iphone and talking to people and this is perfectly normal. Act natural, and nothing bad will happen. He cracks a small smile at the screen, although the warmth doesn't reach his eyes completely. ]

Sorry, let me start again. I’m Jason, and I’m a little lost.

[ a beat ]

Okay, really lost. And please don't give me the crazy purgatory talk again.

I just got here myself. I'm being told that if you don't have memories of dying, there's a good chance you aren't dead.

It's not very reassuring for any of us, but it's something.

Like, um, 'Green Arrow' said - the odds of being dead are actually quite slim. It's more likely that what we're dealing with is transdimensional in nature.

[ Kid seems faintly amused at Jason's distress. ]

It is real, though not in any way a variant of purgatory or other similar realm, in my informed observation.

[wilsooon]

You and me both. Lost I mean. [Ho ho he's making an inside joke at himself.]

No, the only thing you're on is a giant turtle. [Ava grins.] See? Not lost.

You do not need to be frightened, as far as I have been able to ascertain this place is no more dangerous than any average urban location.

Most of the time.

[Ororo watches the video from the chair in front of her console, hands supporting a bowl of noodles.]

The purgatory talk's the best part. [Said dryly.]

But you're not dead. And pinches hurt too much to be dreaming.

Real. [The response is instant and firm, like it's something she's used to saying over and over. A beat passes before a frown crosses her face, because this isn't Peeta and why are there so many people in this place with trouble telling what's real]

As much as I can tell, at least. [She snorts] It's not that reliable.
