[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?

I mean, in America? I dunno, dude.

Folks'll sue over pretty much anything.


[That doesn't mean Asher isn't suspicious. How the hell does a hospital get that bad of a rep and still have so many patients?]

So, this Chapman guy was researchin' a cure, huh. Maybe he's one of the bad guys, maybe not.

I'm not sure if he's our invisible man, but seeing as he hasn't turned up in a while, it seems like it.

Doctors who work on their own time have a little more control over what they can and can't do. Now that I think about it, though, if he moved workplaces, it would come up in the voicemail.

Is that where it went? Could you leave a message?

[ Ah, yes, 'cause 'MURRICA or whatever. For the sake of not making clues any more blurred than they already are, Dipper's gonna lean towards it being a bad sign. ]

Uh, no, not really. It mostly involved a lot of busy dial tones and being put on hold forever and ever. Besides a bunch of names in this report and vaguely what it was all about, I don't have anything that could be considered a clue.

Uh yeah. Someone who's probably bald now. I found this.

[ Undyne holds up spear, on the end of which is an auburn wig in a man's style, thought it's definitely seen far better days. She makes a face; apparently it doesn't smell all that great, either. In the background, a dog barks at it. Dogberry doesn't approve either. ]

Nothing more than a simple blood sample. The idea is to "toughen" up the preventative vaccines by introducing stronger antibodies, and most of the nonhuman members of the team are either immune or have a higher resistance to the virus than the human members.
predomination: or i could stay here and think about science (⚛ i mean we could do that)

[personal profile] predomination 2017-02-14 05:52 pm (UTC)(link)
It will be very helpful for the people who can actually do some digging around without jeopardizing their positions. Any little bit is a step in the right direction.
predomination: you have to promise not to get mad. (⚛ SO FUNNY STORY)

[personal profile] predomination 2017-02-14 05:52 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't know about easy, because things are very strained over here, but I'll give it my best.
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.
predomination: because FUCK NAMES. (⚛ kick ass. TAKE ZERO NAMES.)

[personal profile] predomination 2017-02-14 06:02 pm (UTC)(link)
I just need a blood sample. There's no reason to believe anything about your physiology would be dangerous to a human, is there?

[always good to check.]

Ohhhh. [with that realization, she is now formulating a FLAWLESS PERI PLAN.]

Okay, but consider this! As this team's token alien lifeform [where did you even hear the phrase "token" anything, Peridot], maybe I can lure them out. I was down in the sewers without my cloaking device! Maybe rumors will spread to our mysterious lifeform.
slapfight: of the life i never led (△ they're all i have left)

[personal profile] slapfight 2017-02-14 10:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Um. [....]

Well...

[.................]

I'll think of another plan.

[Libraby, okay, well, she doesn't comment on that, though her eyebrow quirks a little.]

Um... [She cracks it open, flipping through the pages.] Notes -- yeah. "When blood is full of oxygen, it's red."

[She looks up again with a pretty dead-eyed expression.]

Which is... obvious to anyone who has blood ever. So...

[Ew???] You found that in the sewer, oh my god.

Are we... I mean, is it possible there's more than one person living down there?

[Fine, FINE, she's actually going to pay attention, but only 'cause she has nothing better to do but read the exposition.]

Soooooo.

Teal deer, [yeah she said it aloud] we've got a sewer alien making people wanna eat people with this viral brain infection? Freaky shit.

I like to keep things nice an' simple.

[no you dont u maniac u are also Dramatique As All Hell]

What's the plan, then? Find the sewerthing and take it out, wait for the eggheads to figure out the cure?

[ Ah, well, about that ... ]

I cannot say. I know it is corrosive to bare skin. Beyond that, I'm not the person to ask.

If it's that crazy, they might not even notice some people slipping in and out. Much less any medical records or whatever.

Wow, you sound really upset at the thought of being underhanded and devious.
