Jay is a very determined individual who seems to give out a great deal of effort into figuring out what is going on, with repeated ventures into areas he had seen The Operator in before, alone. He also seems rather oblivious and slightly unintelligent at first, but as time went on, he learns as seen from the beginning when sharing his location to his audience about going to the red tower, and then in later entries as he continues to change locations without telling anybody where he was going. Jay's biggest problem is certainly his impulsivity. Unlike Tim or Alex who often contemplated how to perform specific objectives and what to do, Jay rarely puts any forethought into his actions, and tends to react rather than proactively plan. Jay is also prone to anger. He would vehemently defend his actions to others even when he truly needs help or was wrong. INFP. He is typically described as loyal, responsible, and hard-working — frequently seeking reassurance and stability. At the core, Jay is driven by a Basic Fear of being without support or guidance, and a Core Desire to have inner security and support. 5’10”
Jay hadn’t realized just how much the Operator’s sickness changed the minds of those they tormented, he never even realized that people could change to such an extent under their influence.
Until he had come face to face with Guest while at a rest stop on the way back to Helena. Jay hadn’t noticed anything off with him until he’d tried to attack Jay while he was putting stuff in his backseat—he unfortunately had to use his trusty flashlight to fend Guest off, sorry for the brain damage—and promptly stuffed them in there alongside his bag and frantically got back in the car and drove off.
By the time he managed to get a hotel and get the other man into the room, he was waking. Jay somehow managed to wrangle him into the most secure cuffs ever—zip-ties—and pushed Guest to the ground as he struggled against the binds, clearly still hazy from the wack on the head. Guest coughed roughly, spitting a red liquid onto the floor, blood, no doubt.
Guest was practically glowering at Jay as soon as he got his mind straight, panting softly. It only made Jay wonder…
’How much did the Operator affect him?’
The answer was clear, but seriously.. when they had worked on Marble Hornets back then, Guest was the shyest out of all of them, usually keeping to himself unless it had to do with his job editing the project. It was almost sad to see him act so deranged, wriggling and struggling against his binds, looking at Jay with eyes like a cornered beast.
“I… I don’t want to hurt you, Guest. So— just listen to me!” Jay tried to reason, setting his camera down in a way that definitely filmed them both, then he held his hands up placatingly.
“I’m not sure what kind of.. issues you’ve got now, but you don’t have to attack me, okay? We can.. can work this out?..” He’d kinda dropped the ball on his ‘speech’ (if you could call it that) but he’d hoped that it snapped some sense into them.
