[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?
predomination: she ain't comin' back bro. i ain't gonna tell u y either. (⚛ algebra stop askin' me to find ur x)

Mono and pneumonia aren't brain diseases, so that would be a strange jump. [all these puzzle pieces.]

It really does seem to all come back to the hospital, doesn't it?

Got a lot of irons in the fire, don't you, Urahara.

[if it helps, he's not gonna ask questions: urahara hasn't (totally) steered him wrong yet.]

How are things over there, by the way? Insane, I'm guessing?
predomination: because at any moment, i might suddenly snap and kill you. (⚛ i call this lesson "sudden death.")

[personal profile] predomination 2017-02-12 11:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh dear, you've caught me. [yeah, yeah, Urahara. Everyone knows you're not as sheepish and innocent as you pretend to be.] I can't help that I like to keep things dotted and crossed. It's just a habit.

[he sighs.] But it has been busy, and Sieglinde-san, Sonia-san, Olivia-san, and I are the only ones who can be available to search the hospital right now, but there's just no getting around the red tape at the moment without jeopardizing our positions. It would be even worse if we weren't here.

Hey, I'm just glad we've got you on our side. [WHO EVEN ARE YOU SWISS ARMY SHINIGAMI.......]

You need a diversion? I can do diversions.
predomination: because let me tell you something, paper cuts in your asshole are not a laughing matter. don't test me. (⚛ you wanna wear this fan home?)

[personal profile] predomination 2017-02-13 01:19 am (UTC)(link)
[he manages to not look broken by the compliment that he doesn't feel he deserves right now, but that doesn't mean he's going to chance anything by lingering on it.]

Maybe not just yet. I want to have a look around with fresh eyes before anyone begins to think there's a security leak, but I'll certainly keep you and Kaz-san in mind when the time comes. Rumor says you all are very good at diversions.

[gross kaz

BUT it's for the good of the team, and all the people he cares about on said team, so... fine. fuckin' kaz.

You got it. I don't know how much time you'll have with everything hitting the fan like this, so that's probably for the better.
predomination: (yes i am) (⚛ i'm not laughing at you)

With all the looting going on, I have no doubt the hospital is going to get hit very hard by angry civilians at some point.

[or maybe it's one of his Plans.] I'll, of course, be occupied protecting the patients like a good doctor, so it's not like I'll be able to notice anything amiss. And if I had to distract angry looters from hurting my patients by sending them off on some other pursuit... well, that's hardly my fault. It's not like I was intentionally leading them to something.

[cough cough. you catch his drift here, Jin.]

[personal profile] pummelling 2017-02-13 06:31 am (UTC)(link)
'Course not. [ok, ok, he'll play the wink wink nudge nudge game.]

You, a humble doctor, would just be putting your patients' safety before that of lab equipment. Or samples, or suspicious paperwork that looters would never want in the first place.

Right?
predomination: like literally everything. (⚛ i know something you don't know)

[personal profile] predomination 2017-02-13 05:48 pm (UTC)(link)
[with mock gravitas] I'm afraid that difficult choices have to made, and human life is more sacred than hospital trivialities.

A real credit to your noble profession.

[pffffft]

What's looking the sketchiest to you so far, though? So, theoretically, I and whoever else would know what to go for.
predomination: i'll do it regardless of your gender. i don't care. you guys are dumb as fuck. (⚛ it's not mansplaining if i do it.)

Someone in the virology department seemed to have cut off all contact with the Woodhurst Watch, but I haven't heard anything about a missing staff member, and that would be right under my nose. I'd start there.

[personal profile] pummelling 2017-02-13 11:23 pm (UTC)(link)
You got it.

[He frowns, though, gears turning in his mind.]

...You watch yourself too out there, okay?

[Urahara's powerful. Jin knows this well (oh boy he knows it well, after getting his ass kicked), enough to not worry too much, but--] I'm sure you've figured this out already, but we're getting into really heavy territory here. It's just gonna get worse and worse from here on out.

[Nobody's invincible, after all. Not even Kisuke Urahara.]
predomination: for the world's whitest japanese guy (⚛ they say i'm pretty fly)

[personal profile] predomination 2017-02-14 05:54 pm (UTC)(link)
It's very kind of you to worry, Jin-san, but I'll be fine. The danger I'd pose if I were to be infected is far too troublesome for me to take any chances.

[pragmatic to a fault.] And I've been prepared for it to get worse since I started.
pummelling: (26)

[personal profile] pummelling 2017-02-21 11:04 pm (UTC)(link)
[that's the spirit (ha ha get it he is a ghost)]

Yeah, I can imagine. On both counts, really: when aren't you prepared?
predomination: and then planned around the plan that you were planning around mine. (⚛ so i planned around your plan)

[personal profile] predomination 2017-02-21 11:20 pm (UTC)(link)
That's a time I hope none of us live to see.

[because if he's completely caught unprepared- worse than how he was thrown off balance in Perdition's Rest, they'll be in trouble.]
