[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.]

i will .

what does it mean to be in the crew ?

The crew? Like the TV crew?

yes . you asked for people

Oh, right! Duh. Yeah. TV crew. You know, like the ones who work on the show. Cameras, sound, make up and stuff. You ever done anything like that?

[ If he could laugh, he would. He smiles instead. ]

we didnt have those things on the train

i could learn ?

[Someone is interested in a thing he is doing???]

Really? You'd wanna? Sure thing. I can ask the guys. I'm sure they'd be cool with you tagging along and learning the ropes. Whatever you want. No problem. I can get it done.

[ Grey doesn't see why he shouldn't. There's plenty in this world he doesn't understand, and if it means this much to Jeff... ]

i can learn

i dont like cameras . but i wont mind if im not on them .

You can see what you like. There's sound and lighting and stuff like that too.

[Getting attention from friends. Best day ever.]

when can i come to see ?

Whenever! Tomorrow?

ok .

After breakfast. You can come with me and I'll introduce you. No pressure, you don't have to stick around.

[ Introductions, Grey thinks. Those are always fun. ]

and you will tell them that i dont talk ?

[ He hates explaining that. It's never not awkward. ]

I'll tell them. And I'll also tell them that if they got any problems w you I will kick their ass. And fire them. Probably in that order.

[ That...is strangely warming to Grey. Where he's from, the community looked after each other. That's what it's like in his house, too. ]

i wont cause trouble

but thank you jeff .

[Jeff knows all about community, bro. He had a crash course in it six years ago and he's been learning ever since. Who knew that you can actually rely and depend on people without being bitterly disappointed?!]

I know you won't. I'll see you in the morning at breakfast.
