[beyond was dead, and now he's not.
it's a perplexing position for anyone to find themselves in, of course, but even more so when there's something fundamental about that person that's gone missing - something that should be there, but isn't. beyond has found he is missing such a thing, and has decided to take advantage of the technology of this new place in order to work out his thoughts regarding this dilemma.]
"In the social jungle of human existence, there is no feeling of being alive without a sense of identity."
[his voice is quiet, raspy, almost unnaturally even in tone. he pauses, then picks up with one of many questions currently on his mind, addressing anyone within earshot.]
What shapes your sense of identity?

Inmate or warden?

[he answers with a deliberate misinterpretation of the question - a disarming strategy that has long served him well.]

You know that's not what I was asking. Cute evasion, though.
I'll assume you're an inmate until proven otherwise. Seems safer.

Transparency might be a good place to start. Certain things a warden has that an inmate doesn't works too.

(not that he ever really was.)
so he turns the camera on, aimed at his face from arm outstretched. underneath a mop of disheveled black hair is a pale face fixed in a flat expression, with wide, dark eyes. meet beyond.]
Is this transparent enough for you?
video.
Like I said, it's a start.
Nice to meet you.

[in point of fact, beyond is certain he hasn't been told. but hey, transparency, right? he keeps both expression and tone completely flat, unwavering.]

[y yes he does stalk open conversations]
Interesting first post. Most people want to know where they are, how they got here. What happened to them.
Re: video.
[biggest understatement.]
Why do you rob people?
Re: video.
Because I'm good at it. Because it's challenging, and I like doing it.

If most people are concerned about where they are, how they got here, and what happened to them, they wouldn't be questioned on why they're doing something other than what most people do.
[i.e., your argument is invalid.]

Why are you here?

I just don't like it when you try to avoid the question entirely.
