[Video | UN: METTATON]

Well, Audentes. Things have certainly taken a turn towards Sweeps Week, haven't they?

[Who's this stunningly handsome, yet unfortunately badly lit human...? Obviously, it's Mettaton, darlings, learn how to read. But wherever could he be with such hideous lighting?]

Riots, infected, and secrets, oh my... While we're out here doing our best to keep both the townspeople and ourselves safe, I thought it'd be a good time to share with the class what we might have found. And without having to play me for it!! Lucky you. [Wink.

The "camera" gets turned away from Mettaton (a crime, he knows), now clearly showing the inside of Woodhurst Watch HQ. Specifically, inside the head editor's room. He expertly pans it from the mess on the floor that the infected and townsfolk left in their rush to head out towards the top of the desk he's sitting at. On the desk, next to where he's perched his legs (you're welcome), are some scattered sheets of paper. He's focusing his communications jewelry on one in particular.]


"Local cancer patient attacks doctor during regularly scheduled chemotherapy appointment." How dramatic. But certainly interesting, isn't it? [He's audibly tapping his fingers on the desk, just out of frame.] Can't say I know entirely what to make of it, but I'm sure checking any records in the hospital would be a good start.

Also. [He turns his necklace back to himself.] Since I and, I'm only assuming, the rest of those inorganic among us aren't particularly interesting to those infected, we might prove ourselves useful when it comes to... Well. Anything. Can't be infected, won't even attract attention... [He puts a hand to his chest and sighs.] I never thought I'd find an audience I couldn't captivate. But! Here we are and the show must go on.

[Slightly more serious. It's obvious there are specific, less fortunate people on his mind.] If there's anyone out there that needs help, let me know. I'm no superhero, but...

...Why waste a talent when you have it?

Now, I'm not saying anything for sure, but I'm a bit of a sleuth. Looks like all roads lead to the hospital.

[ Everyone knew that already, but he says it like ]

The newspaper was trying to follow up with the virology department because their contact stopped replying, I guess? Everyone at the hospital was too busy to talk to us, sooo I'm thinking we're totally justified in doing a breaking-and-entering thing. We tried it the legal way.

Not anymore — we went to the hospital because we couldn't reach them. This technology is seriously crappy. They had a fax machine! What is this, the 1900s?

I mean, I guess it is, but still.

What does that mean? Did the staff come back? Try to engage them in a super casual conversation in which you subtly steer them towards talking about the virology department. Like, start with, "Hey, I'm not breaking and entering, and by the way, what's the deal with the hospital, am I right?"

Um. Yeah. "Tasty" isn't exactly the word I would use, but whatever. That'll definitely come in handy later, because I definitely ran into one of them there, too. They're really multiplying.

It's not that perfect, I've seen better.

I don't think they're trying to keep anything from the public if they were talking to the news, but maybe they've at least got some information that isn't widely available? I mean, figuring out what happened to the Watch's contact is probably a good start. Kinda weird to just ghost on someone like that, right?
predomination: just don't do cocaine (⚛ you can drink 1 a day and be fine)

[personal profile] predomination 2017-02-13 01:22 am (UTC)(link)
It's very strange. Nurses are usually fussy gossips, but they're very tight-lipped about these matters right now- no rumors or anything nasty to say behind anyone's back at all.

Well, someone's missing, right? I bet the cops told them not to say anything while they're investigating. It's a suburb, word could get easily around to the person who did it, if somebody did anything to that guy. I mean, that's... what happens in TV shows, anyway.

But if we can figure out who the guy is, we can launch our own investigation. I'm thinking that has to be related, right? The Watch's contact stopped responding around the same time.
predomination: who'd you fuck to get all those shiny pokemon anyway. (⚛ goddamn rukia)

[dammit rhys this is REAL LIFE... oh no, no that makes sense.]

Everyone's detective work is yielding too many interesting results that all seem to be connected to one thing, so it would almost have to be all related.

Now that we know that there's something going sour at the hospital, we can keep our eyes open. That's the important part.
