[No text today! Instead, the viewers of Norfinbury get a video showing a weird orange bird guy filmed from inside a house. In addition to the shades, behind which a faint orange glow is visible, he's got on the standard peacoat people receive here. It's the same violent shade of orange as the rest of him.]

Hey. A bunch of you already know by now, but the name's Davesprite, and I'm this thing called a sprite and I'm part crow.

[He caws demonstratively.]

But I'm posting this because House and I just did some experiments about the whole nonhuman thing yesterday. See, some people were positing that maybe I only look weird because of distorted perceptions and junk, so we wanted to test basically if I'm the way I should be or not.

Thing one, I've got a hole through the middle of my chest where my sword used to go, because sprites are weird. Don't worry about it. Watson told me how normal objects found here go right through anomalies, but stuff coated in rubble dust hits them. So he and Sherlock wanted me to try to stick some rubble in my sword hole. Spoilers, it worked.

Thing two, my blood's bright yellow like somebody cracked a glowstick open, and it doesn't look like a human's under a microscope. Since the admin said my bloodtype's been "adjusted", House wanted to inject some of it into himself to see if he could. And that worked too.

If you want to go and lecture us about how that was dangerous and stupid and we could have gotten ourselves killed: Yeah, I know, but too late. Sometimes you gotta be stupid to get science done. And now we've confirmed that looking nonhuman is still real and not just some illusion cast on our senses via the nanomachines, and that regular humans can accept "adjusted" blood with the right type.

Thing three's got nothing to do with the experiments, but House wanted me to share that he found an SD card back on day 183 with Andromeda and Winter talking some more. If you saw the post I made about the card I found a while back, the one where they were talking about the cult? It sounds like this one relates to that.

[Here at the end Davesprite links a few files. First are video recordings of him and House performing the experiments described above. His blood in the relevant experiment is indeed a yellow as he said and slightly luminescent. Along with this he includes a couple photos of his blood taken under a microscope. The blood cells aren't human or avian, but a shape that looks somewhere between both.]

[Next, he includes the audio file of Winter and Andromeda talking.]

[His lips press together briefly.]

House, too. I know.

[But if she's moving on, so will he, and gladly.]

I dunno. We're still in the dark about what the cult was even about, aside from like, the obvious anti-AI sentiment going through. Sam saw something, she's the prophet, but who decided that and what she saw and what it all means...

[He shrugs with shoulders and wings alike.]

Could be the people in charge, could be something else. Maybe we'll find out more later.

But hey, where are you guys? I want to head that way now that this stuff with House is done.

House is allowed to be reckless.

[She's just teasing, really. It's obvious by the way she smiles as she says it.]

We're heading towards the convenience store and then we're running supplies to the tunnels. Where are you?

[Davesprite snorts. Not like anyone could stop House from it, probably. The old man is stubborn.]

Down near the vet. House got the extra food I was carrying, so I should head up for a restock, too. I can probably get to a building near it and pick up what I need tomorrow.

We can meet in the middle. Al and Ecks are with us as well.

[Just in case he's not comfortable with such a big group.]

I still have those scissors for you.

[He probably won't be, but he wants to meet with them anyway, and this gives some other incentives.]

Huh. I told Ecks before I might run into her with the tunnels, but this saves time. And tell Al I want to talk to him, too. How's he holding up? I got that coat I mentioned, too, but you'll have to forgive me if I hand it over to him first, if he still needs it.

Let him have it. I can handle the cold, and he needs it more. He's doing alright. Clint is practically glued to him.

[It's kind of cute.]

[Davesprite nods. He's glad for Al.]

What about Clint, then? I know he's been hurting worse.

[Natasha is just casually going to make this private.]

He's stubborn as always. I don't think he's as against taking the painkillers as he was, but he still isn't a fan of it. Helping resupply the tunnels has given him something concrete to do, and that seems to be making him feel better. See you will help, too.

Sounds like a plan. I've got this tote bag that carried like half a week's worth of stuff, and I already know the sprite body is going to be a liability in the tunnels themselves. So if I can help like this? I'm up for it. Especially if it helps lift him out of his funk.

But what about you? I know stuff was bugging you before.

Ah, well, we soldier on, don't we? If you want to know the details of my mental state, I think I'd rather save them for when we meet up.

Hey, you make enough show about worrying about me, I might as well return the favor.

[He values what friends he's got, and he wants to make sure he keeps them now that he's more certain of his own reality.]

We'll talk then. Take care of yourself and make sure the kids don't do anything stupid.

[He's counting Clint in their number now.]

[Aw, what a cutie.]

Thank you, Davesprite. When Clint breaks something with that toy bow of his, I'll let you know.

[He laughs.]

Tell him I'm canceling the trip to Disney World if he doesn't behave himself.

Thanks, Nat.

You're welcome. Take care of yourself, or I'm not taking you to Disney World either.

[His demeanor sobers.]

Yeah, trust me, I've done enough risking life and limb for a while now. I'll see you later.

[He hangs up here, but over the course of the day he checks in with her to ensure they end up at the same place.]
