[accidental video - canon move]

[whatyougive]

((relevant portion is from about 0:29 to 1:31))

[The man whose account this is is sitting in a small, office-like space. A desk lines the walls, but instead of a door there's a red curtain separating the room from the outside. A man in a suit enters, carrying a safe-deposit box, which he sets down on the desk and unlocks before leaving and allowing the recipient to close the curtain again. When the recipient turns back towards the box, he seems to have a host of emotions- nervousness, fear, hope. He fumbles with the box for a second before opening it. Out of its contents, the first thing he picks up is a U.S. passport. He sits down as he looks at it with something like relief. "My name is Jason Bourne. I live in Paris." Jason puts the papers aside and stands back up to look into the box more fully. And that's all you get for today.]

[whatyougive]

This thing just likes to record everything, doesn't it?

[nofondueforyou]

Yes. It wasn't an exaggeration, I'm afraid.

[likethetragedy]

[Interesting.] Rough day?

[whatyougive]

You could say that.

[And this didn't even show the beating up embassy guards and escaping the police (on pretty much no sleep).]

[likethetragedy]

Did anyone tell you how to cheat the system yet?

[text]

[whatyougive]

[At least it didn't catch any of the stuff with the police...]

I'm getting that, yeah.

[whatyougive]

You can keep it from recording you?

[likethetragedy]

You can give it incentive not to. My trick is posting once every two months and commenting at random in between those periods. It just wants attention so if you pay it just enough it will stop showing everyone your private business. Of course if something really interesting happens all bets are off.

[seasaltzombie]

Looking for answers?

[nofondueforyou]

Unfortunately, it seems to be most interested in the things you would rather weren't shared with the general public. Just something to bear in mind.

[archicheck]

Paris is an amazing place to live.

...But you didn't sound very certain about that.

[whatyougive]

I don't think it will be easy to forget that.

[...hopefully.]

[whatyougive]

I posted about a week before this.

But thanks. I'll keep it in mind.

[whatyougive]

[Well, yes. What's the point of denying it? Weirder things are happening here.]

Yeah.

[whatyougive]

I haven't been back in a while.

Do you live there?

[archicheck]

I used to. Though I still have a place there if I want to go back.

[whatyougive]

Why did you leave?

[archicheck]

Work, mostly.

[whatyougive]

What do you do?

[archicheck]

I'm an architect for a design firm.

[whatyougive]

Wow. You have to be really good to succeed at that.

[archicheck]

Well, I'd like to think I am.

But I also have the support of some good friends to help me along.

[likethetragedy]

It must have been that interesting then.

[seasaltzombie]

Are you having much luck, or...?

[nofondueforyou]

You'd think not, and yet people still seem to be caught unawares all too often.

[whatyougive]

I guess being caught on video without a camera will do that.

[whatyougive]

I guess so.

[ :| ]

[whatyougive]

Some.

[whatyougive]

It's always good to have support.

Where do you live now?

[archicheck]

It is.

California. Do you travel a lot?

[seasaltzombie]

Better than nothing, I guess. Right?

What was that thing, anyway? The one you found your name in, I mean.

[ i mean geez seriously what are passports doesn't everyone get around by dark corridor ]

[nofondueforyou]

Yes...there's definitely that. I'm not sure I want to know how it does that.
