001 ♪ Video Post to the Public Network
[When the feed comes on, not only is it unusual because it's being broadcast on the public network, viewable by practically everyone in the city, but it's also tilted down at someone who is laying on the floor, wincing in pain, clearly coming from the watch on his wrist.
For those of you who have met the other Joshua, this one would look familiar... However there were two distinct differences. One, most noticeably, there's a large scar going down the left (his right) side of his face, from above his brow down to his chin, over his eye; that eye is also very clearly blind. The other difference was the black metal collar around his neck, bearing some numbers on it. And it was... smoking?? Were those black scorch marks on his skin underneath the collar.]
Well, I've decided that perhaps now is a good a time as any to give out a public service announcement to anyone from Alpha Omega... do not try to tamper with your collars. We may be universes away and yet I'm certain that Val is still laughing at us.
[He gives a bitter smile which quickly fades into an embarrassed scowl as he turns his gaze away from the camera with his next admittance.]
... Also, I can't move.
[Major electrocution kind of took a toll on him... On top of locked up muscles he thinks he might have sprained his ankle, maybe his other wrist too. Everything was simultaneously numb and throbbing painfully...]

"Hello! If Desco understands your message, that collar has electricity inside it?"
She doesn't bother to let you answer before her wide and pleading red eyes look up from the collar and fix themselves on your face as she unleashes her Ultimate Little Sister Puppy Eyes technique.
"Can...can Desco please eat it? Pleeeeeeeease?"
[video]
"Yes, there are electronics in this collar... I'm sorry, I must have heard you wrong, you'd like to eat it??"
Who in the world... he's seen plenty of strange people in his time, but this by far had to be the strangest person...
[video]
"Yes! Desco really likes the tingly taste of electronic things, but Daddy and Big Sis almost never let her have any."
Her red eyes close in bliss as she loses herself in a memory.
"The way the sparks feel as they slide down Desco's throats gives her goosebumps just thinking about it!"
She's actually shivering in remembered pleasure.
[video]
Joshua just furrows a brow at her and shakes his head a little, groaning at the pain the movement caused him. He honestly just wanted to stay where he was and just... lay down for a while...
"If it's tampered with, I'm afraid it'll electrocute me further. And you, possibly... plus I have no idea how this would taste any good. There's more inside the collar than electronics; if i'm not mistaken, there are spikes and razors inside as well."
[video]
"That's alright! Desco has eaten razors before!"
Desco moves the viewpoint back a little, revealing all twelve of her tentacles, each of which is flexing and snapping.
"What if Desco bit through it with all her mouths at once? It wouldn't be able to shock you then, right?"
...she really wants to eat that collar, apparently.
[video]
"I still won't risk it, I'm sorry... If it weren't around my neck I would give it to you in a heartbeat. As it is, this thing is ready to kill me if I try to tamper with it any further~"
[video]
Desco pouts a little at this.
"Um...if you do manage to get it off, though, can Desco eat it then?"
[video]
The collar had given him a great deal of trouble for the past year and a half... there was a great deal of extraordinary hatred and bitter sorrow put into it. It marked him as a prisoner, almost as much as the scar on his face or the bar code on his shoulderblade...
"I'll consider it... This collar isn't exactly an unextraordinary trinket I can pass off so unceremoniously."
