It started normal enough.

Seth and Oscar would talk about tragic events like homicide or terrorism with weird intermittent jabs at one another.

It seemed like they were still talking about the affair that took place between Oscar and Seth's wife, but at one point they just set their papers down.

They looked dead at the camera.

Both of them were smiling such an awful grin.

Seth was the one who spoke.

For the adulterous actions you have placed upon my sanction and the lack of remorse you showed me, I offer you naught but a decomposition of ruinous flavor.

Your hedonism, amalgamated with your arrogance, has wrought you nothing but the clumsiest and most dreadful of deaths.

None of you shall be found in the wake of my vengeance, brother, not a piece."

The excruciation you will feel my hand bring down upon you will not be prevented by offering nor treaty.

Know and accept your blackened fate.

He spoke with such elation, and then they just looked at the camera, motionless and staring with those over-exaggerated grins.

Freaked me the hell out, like they were looking right at me, expecting me to respond to them.

And after a minute or so passed, they just started laughing, shoving each other like it had all been playful banter between the two of them.

I had so many fucking questions, and it looked like the comments section did too.

Oscar and Seth were brothers?

They didn't even look alike, really.

But fuck me if the worst part wasn't that he said the whole thing in clear-as-day fucking English.

He'd never spoken a word of it before, but just, like, dropped a poem about murder like it was his first language.

eerie, but my fascination just runs deeper with each episode.
