[Fiona is a little out of breath, like she just hustled very quickly away from somewhere. Which she did, but that's neither here nor there. The background behind her is some innocuous wood panelling; she's in a house.]

Okay. So. Crunch time. Things are getting nuts out there, if you didn't notice. We are gonna wind up super screwed if we don't hop to figuring out what the hell to do.

[She holds up a vial. It has some alien writing on it, as well as a familiar symbol on the label.]

We found this inside the hospital. A shit-ton of them, actually. So who wants to find out what Zymandis asshole is responsible for this mess and beat an antidote out of them?



[ ooc. PS, maya, hanzo, and mccree might show up in your threads. feel free to threadjack as well! ]

Oh, I didn't know that was your username...

[ Oh. Right. She's supposed to be addressing everyone. ]

Dipper is right, though! I don't think we saw anything about a Wong though, so I guess she is still a mystery? Did anyone hear anything else about her?

[twinpeak]

Kinda goes both ways! Now we've formally met online and in person.

Anyway—there wasn't a Wong on the list of names I already had. That's a new one. But at least we can distinguish patient from doctor from it now.

[fintastic]

At least mine makes sense!

[ She doesn't sound mean about it, just very matter-of-fact. As if nobody would ever question why her username has cuttlefish in it. ]

Yes, I think we did good! I just hope someone else can fill in the gap. If not, at least we have more than we did before, and now we know we make a good team!

[twinpeak]

Mine makes total sense!

[ NOBODY AROUND HERE APPRECIATES CIPHERS. ]

Aaand that might not be much of a gap anymore—we can safely deduce that Wong was a doctor involved with some of the earliest known victims of the virus. Unfortunately, where they currently are at the moment is probably an even bigger mystery than Percy's whereabouts.

[fintastic]

But that is what I mean! We know where Chapman is, and we know where Percy isn't. But we should probably keep an eye out for Wong! That is our blind spot, I think.

[twinpeak]

—Oh. Yeah, definitely... And until we can find out more, hopefully not as huge of a blind spot as it could potentially be.

[fintastic]

I don't know. I think it means we need to be careful where we go now!

[ If there's at least one thing Feferi knows, it's how to watch her own back. ]

We know we won't find Percy anywhere in the open. And we know we are more likely to see Chapman around the hospital or in town, if he is trying to lay low, but we could see him anywhere if we are sneaking around.

Wong could be anywhere or... anyone, even!

[twinpeak]

Oh. Oh, jeez. I mean, one of them's gotta know a bunch of us went poking around their stuff today, but you don't think they're gonna know exactly who, do you...?

[fintastic]

It's possible! They probably have security cameras and stuff. Maybe I should change my disguise!

[twinpeak]

[ He failed to consider this...... ]

Uh—we can hope that security cameras in the 90's were really bad. 'Sides, who'd suspect much out of two kids going where they're not supposed to?

[fintastic]

I would, if I had something to hide!

[ She doesn't know much about what technology was really capable of in this era... She's gotten a good idea but it's imperfect at best. ]

Don't worry, just take off your hat for a while, they will never recognize you! And I will let you borrow my goggles if you want.

[twinpeak]

I'm not so sure I can pull off the goggles look very well.

[fintastic]

I bet you could, have you ever tried?

[ It's all over for him now. ]

[twinpeak]

Just for swimming. Our mom used to make us wear them when we were little... Pretty sure my sister said I looked like a dork with them on once.

[fintastic]

My goggles are cute, though! Will you at least try them?

[ She's probably going to put them on him one way or another... ]

[twinpeak]

[ #doomed ]

Cute? I'm a man, Feferi. Guys like me don't do cute.

[fintastic]

Not even when a really adorable fish girl asks you really, really nicely?

[twinpeak]

[ ... Ooookay he can't really refute that, she is kind of cute—is it okay for a human guy to think a definitely-not-human girl is kinda cute? This is so weird. These are questions Dipper has never thought he'd have to consider in his life. ]

Well, I have to admit this is a tricky question that's made me a little suspicious! What's the ulterior motive here?

[fintastic]

Do I look like the kind of person have ulterior motives?

[ Actually, she sort of does, but they're for his benefit, even if they are also for her own... ]

[twinpeak]

You were willing to help someone you barely knew break into very off limits parts of a hospital and shuffle through paperwork that's even more off limits, which I'm certain is probably illegal. You are absolutely capable of ulterior motives.

[fintastic]

Yeah... but I was willing to help someone I barely know do something incredibly stupid and dangerous, because otherwise they would have had to do it alone! I think you owe me at least one favor, and that is the benefit of the doubt.

[twinpeak]

[ You got him there. ]

I guess for a moment it wouldn't hurt...

[ They're just goggles, Dipper. ]

[fintastic]

Okay! Where did you go, anyway? Let's meet back up!

[twinpeak]

Back in the one place I know won't have any potential roaming zombies—home.

[ Well, "home". However you spin it, any investigation business should be done where you're least likely to get interrupted. ]

You, uh– you can come here, if you want? Is that okay? It's not out in the open at least.

[fintastic]

Whale... unless you are the zombie!

[ That's not funny.

She seems to think it's funny. ]

Okay, I'll be over there soon, just hold tight!
