[It's video time with Jeff! Why can't he just do text like normal people, you ask? Because then the world wouldn't be able to see his beautiful face, duh. He's at his desk, lounging like a pro with a full glass of scotch held at eye line, managing to look somewhat thoughtful as he keeps his narrowed eyes on the alcohol before him.]

I went home like a month ago. Did one of those away for a day, lived a year things. Kinda makes you wonder what game the Porter's playing with crap like that, some weird ass brand of temptation and torture all in one.

So, real talk here, imPorts... If we all got told they didn't want us any more, that we got 24 hours to decide whether to go home or stay here forever, what would you do? Is what you built up here enough to keep you? Or are you just gonna be counting down the hours to get back and see those you left behind?

Pretty deep stuff, huh?

[He finally looks to the camera, just starting to reach to turn it off, before...]

Oh! And uh, season one of my show is drawing to a close soon. I know you've all been watching it avidly. Gotta start considering my options for next season, so wanna guest star? Got ideas? Wanna be in the crew? Hit me up. Time to make season two even better than the first. [And he's out, with a final, winning smile.]

Your boyfriend back home is here?

Yeah. Actually, he's been here for some time, even before I'd arrived.

Sweet deal. If there's nothing else waiting for you back home, then I guess this place wouldn't be so bad.

Well, how about you—you've gone back, right? What got you thinking about something like this?

Yeah, I been back a couple of times now. You come and go enough, you start to think of the 'what ifs". You mean you've never thought about it?

When I first got here, I used to think about it more. I guess it was because I still had so much to get acclimatised to. Maybe I'll never fully be up to speed, but I think I've got much more of a handle on things.

So, are you thinking about it more than usual, or just doing so since you're back from home? ... Is it disorienting, coming and going like that?

Sure, it's kinda weird. You get all these memories flooding in from no where and sometimes it doesn't feel like you lived it. But whatever. I've not really thought about where I'd rather be. [Yes he has.] Just figured I'd ask.

What's the general consensus so far? Since you've been asking and all.

Seems pretty split. Some wanna stay, some wanna go, some would stay if they could drag everyone from home here. It's a tough one to decide. Not sure which I'd pick.

Well, if you were to take anything from your world, anything at all, and bring it here, what would it be?

My Swedish face cream. $100 a gram. Not found anything even close to it here.

Now that is truly a tragedy. Maybe you could just make enough money to hire a team of Swedish chemists to make an even better one for you. Possibly mass produce, put it to market. What do you reckon?
