[The video crackles on and there's a somewhat familiar face that appears, though it appears somewhat bored. The username suggests that this is not Jacob Kane and instead someone that looks identical to him. Well, if he stopped attempting to look like a lazy college student, that is. When he speaks, it with a flat monotone that's devoid of any emotion.]

If there is anyone here who knows of the man named Jacob Kane, I would like to know his whereabouts as I've found something of his that I would like to return.

[He looks down briefly and something starts making almost angry hissing sounds, but it's muffled by something.]

Stop that. I know you can behave better than this. [He looks back up at the camera.] Dear brother, if you're receiving this, I found your shadow.

I'm beginning to see the differences between you too.

[Namely, he didn't feel homicidal rage towards Abel just yet. Cain had managed that in the same amount of time.

That's a lot longer than he was expecting. One thing he can say for this pair of odd twins, they had proven to be anything but boring thus far.]

Odin's eye, that's a long time. Keep it up and you'll be around for Ragnarok.

Which makes you far more observant and intelligent than the majority of people I deal with on a normal basis.

[He has a Thing about people not noticing differences between twins, so stating that definitely puts Ivar into his good book for now.

And if only you knew how close to the truth that was since Cain and Abel are their world's Ragnarok.]

If I am correct, then we will be around for longer than what we've already experienced.

[Ivar smiles a little at the compliment.]

That's an accurate description.

[Ivar considers himself to be smarter than most of the people around him. It wasn't entirely unjustified considering his cleverness and ability to read people, but some of it did stem from that general attitude most teenagers held where anyone older than them was clearly a moron.]

Apparently, with age doesn't come wisdom. Or if it does, your brother is hiding it quite well. [Abel was doing better in that regard for the moment. He's definitely ranked him higher on the scale of people Ivar actually can tolerate in the Quarantine.]
