[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.

[There is a knowing look from Abel. He is certainly far more perceptive than people usually give him credit for since he's not the most emotional person ever and even he can tell that there's more going on.]

In a way. Kerberos is spotted one, if translated properly.

[He will only judge him slightly for using Abel instead.]

I would not know. I do not know you well enough yet to answer that, but if you are close to my brother, then we will be speaking to each other again in the future. I will likely have a proper answer for that then.

[ aw hell, not you too. goddamnit. Tony is so tired of people giving him that look of 'I see through your bullshit', why can't he just be a mess in peace? ]

My ancient Greek is rusty but I thought so. Damn, does this mean you are fluent in dead languages? I should totally get the two of you to teach me, just for fun. I mean, I know enough Latin to pass a course, but totally different.

[ well it is either that or Spot right now okay. he will come up with a nick name for you eventually.]

...you know I don't know how you managed that, but that sounds ominous. Like, okay. Sure, but... you don't try to pretend everything is fine when it's not like Cain, do you?

[aeterminus]

[Thankfully, Abel will only quietly judge and not bother him about being a mess. Unless it affects his brother negatively. Note: do not let your mess affect Cain negatively.]

I am only fluent in dead languages, though my brother is currently teaching me English. We would teach you, though my brother is very rusty with his Latin.

[He gives Tony a very Cain-like shrug.]

I've been told that sounding ominous is one of my gifts. I don't act that way, as I leave that for my brother to do.

[amelioraate]

[ .... note taken. most o the time he tries to make sure his mess is contained to himself and himself alone, so that shouldn't be an issue. granted, your brother is hella nosey so...]

...huh. You want help with that? I have enough basic coding here that I can probably come up with a translator program for you, with you and Cain both helping on the Latin side of things. Might help a bit? If you want?

[ why yes, yes this is the kind of thing that Tony does on a regular basis, ONE MORE THING TO MAKE PLEASE.]

Could be cooler, or creepier, if you managed both honestly, but I guess one weird trait each then.
