[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?

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.

You think so?

[ He looks a bit surprised to hear that. Was he the only person who had fun on that mission? ]

Huh. Well, maybe. Reckon we did all right in the final analysis, though.

It's coming from the hospital, actually.

[never forget she is strangely literal.]

But this is great! It's clearly a conspiracy, which means all of our brainstorming was worth something! And Greg definitely had a crush on me.

[that's also important.]

I have a robotic eye, my eyesight is fine. Don't weep for me. Like, please. I'm on my knees here. ...Figuratively, anyway, I'm not actually.

Bristol appears to be a fairly common surname within this city. There are at least 25 adults who go by that name who have an account at the library.

[Which would be a pain to investigate, if not for the fact that--]

But only one Alyssa Bristol has failed to return a book on viral infections. She owes the library about forty USD on it, actually. I've got her address.

We're amazing!

(I knew that!) [no she didn't.] And, honestly this book? Look at what they have highlighted. [she opens it up to a page.] "The heart supplies blood to the body." What kind of lifeform needs to be reminded of their basic biology?

Wait. So there could be nonhumans in this town, and I've had to wear this stupid cloaking device for weeks to stay covert.

[hmmm...] The Men in White did find a great deal of non-Earth-based lifeforms in sewers. Apparently, some beings find it comfortable.

[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.

I went into the sewers with a friend. We found a vanity table where someone was doing makeup. It looks freshly used.

There were also pictures of men cut from magazines. It seems like an awfully strange place to be doing makeup.

Makeup would also be needed for patients of the virus to appear normal, I would think. Would there be people who would be infected but still retain their sanity?

[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.

I was suspecting some sort of biological attack as well. Whether it's by a human or by some other agent, like Zymandis, I don't think we're able to tell just yet.

We'll have to hunt down the perpetrator. Maybe someone with a lot of connections? But I'm not so sure.
