[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...]

Regardless of the circumstances, tempting fate and then whining over the outcome won't help anyone. He should be glad he has companions to ensure he doesn't starve or become dehydrated.

'Whining'? Tell me, how is it whining to warn the rest of us that this post actually concerns that it's too dangerous to touch our collars still?

You should know that already, am I wrong?

There was no way of knowing whether or not they were still active without testing it, and it was too dangerous for most of us to risk.

Precisely. What an idiot.

A few electric shocks was worth the knowledge. [He's just smiling back at Ciel, unfazed by his words.]

Kairi, it's alright. I honestly could care less what his view on the matter is.

At least you learned your lesson.

That's one way of putting it, I suppose. Look at it this way: I wasn't sure whether or not it was still armed. Therefore, if I'd been cautious and it wasn't armed, I would have needlessly kept it on longer than necessary.

Now I know that isn't the case. And I'm able to share this fact with the others from my world.

Perhaps throwing caution to the wind was foolish, but isn't that what science is all about~?

If I were you, I would have tested someone else's collar. [But that's just the sort of person he is.]

Contrary to popular belief... I don't quite care about my own self preservation to the point of total heartlessness. But I'll keep the suggestion in mind in case any enemies of mine do arrive here.

[There were at least two or three people he wouldn't have minded testing first and foremost and giving them nasty electrical burns instead.]
