[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 don't know if 'lmao' is what I'd use, but yeah. totes cray cray.

[ You know, to put it one way. ]

Just the hospital. I don't have a first name on the guy. I figure there can't be too many Chapmans working there, but who knows how many exist in the city.

I'll see if any of the names you listed turn up at the firm.

[Honestly, each surname he sees on that list, he's seen in his own life. There's a chance that doing this could do more harm than good, but-]

There's been an uptick in lawsuits that have been filed against the hospital. People are suing for negligence, malpractice, the whole shebang.

If I find something on a Chapman, I'll hit you up.

Do we know if the hospital is the only healthcare facility in the air? Like, do we have private practice type situations around here, or is this just it? It is as far as I know. Some OG docs like to start their own gig, so maybe this Chapman dude has/had one of his own?

It's not typical for a hospital to have that many lawsuits, is it?

[ He's young and doesn't know much about the law, okay... ]

I also hadn't considered that, but he was a doctor involved with trying to discover a cure for this when it began. Would someone running a private facility be involved with that? Especially since it's looking more and more likely the hospital we're all looking at has something fishy going on.

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.

That's still something.

[Asher has been eavesdropping on the other conversations in this post too, trying to mine each little tidbit for clues.]

I've been wonderin', though...

The email didn't mention what kind of employee went missing. For all we know, it could be Chapman or Delgado, or...

Some other type of staff. Even a nurse or a janitor.

I'll let you know if my search turns up anything important.

[personal profile] twinpeak 2017-02-16 08:19 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, it's definitely just speculation. Admittedly, wild speculation, but I'd say Chapman is more suspicious than Delgado. A doctor working with cancer patients is less likely to be involved with discovering a cure to something else. Even if they were, though, why would someone in on what's happening let themselves get attacked by an injected person?

Maybe to give themselves an alibi or look less suspect, but that's one heck of a risk to take.

Anyway... It really could be anyone. I'll try finding more, too.

[There are times when the body seems to know more than the mind itself.

Asher feels a chill shoot right down the center of his spine. This isn't the kind of mystery that's going to be easy to solve, and when they do, if they do... Will they regret finding the answer?

What did you say your name was, again?

It's Dipper.
