[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.]

ecks nobody has powers here except the really basic stuff
and being good at words is just plain skill
not something from blood
btw nat told me youre with her and clint so ill see you tonight if we end up at the same house

[ecks]

when you graft flesh from someone who is good at something
the person who receives it becomes good at that thing
that is the purpose of grafting

are you close?

[mrcreamsicles]

maybe in the magic place you come from
but not in other places
trust me ecks if you took part of my arm off and put it on someone else it would just look weird and id miss having it attached

im close enough
natasha said youre going to be near the convenience store right
thats where im headed
im going to keep talking to her while i travel to coordinate stuff

[ecks]

this place is strange
your world is strange

yes
we are eating convenient food
and taking it back to Hsiaoke Pass

[mrcreamsicles]

ecks have i ever said i love the way you phrase stuff

i need to restock my own stores but ive got a bag i can carry some extra in
so im gonna help you guys with taking that to the tunnels

[ecks]

maybe
you said that you liked my joke and that is a phrase

that is a good thing to do
there are many people in the tunnels looking for dolls
but not many people bringing food to the people in the tunnels

[mrcreamsicles]

i figure i wouldnt be much good in the doll hunt
im gonna have trouble navigating when ive got this big long tail instead of legs and feet
i can float around fine but you tell me to climb up through stuff and it gets a lot more difficult
especially when i cant fly anymore
so this is a way i can help more easily
also
jade told me she and brian got the last doll
so they should be able to try getting the door unlocked soon

[ecks]

you could be like a snake
snakes can fit through small spaces
and also I think because you float you would not fall down holes like Doctor House does

I did not know they found the last doll

[mrcreamsicles]

couple problems there
1 snakes are a lot smaller than me
2 my wings are big and bulky and i can only fold them up so much
3 i cant really float higher than a few inches off the ground
so im thinking that if i tried to float over a hole id just drop through anyway
the admin is hella rude ecks
i used to be able to fly wherever i pleased and now flapping my wings just gets me this really shitty impression of a jump
im a big noodly liability

i only heard about it just earlier so i figure it was recent

[ecks]

1 only smaller snakes are smaller than you
2 oh
3 oh

when they open the door you can come through the ruins with me and I will help you
maybe there will be food on the other side.

[mrcreamsicles]

youre going to be hard pressed to find a snake as big as i am
no amazon means no anacondas

thats basically the plan
i already plan on going with clint and nat so if youre still with us you can help me too
im sure theres going to be stuff worth exploring out past that door anyway

[ecks]

there will be the center of the spiral
but not immediately

[mrcreamsicles]

i know
thats what were all aiming for in the end

[ecks]

it will be worth exploring

[mrcreamsicles]

[Of course exploring it will be worth it: it means progress toward the center and inevitably finding more clues along the way. It also leads to the way out, if what they've been told about the center is true. And in light of their experiments, it may well be.]

[The idea of going back, however, is heavy and complicated in his mind. It isn't that he doesn't want to return to his world and his friends, but that he might not be comfortable with the possibilities awaiting him.]

[The former part he can only answer with bland agreement, and the latter he doesn't want to bring up. Ultimately he gives no reply at all.]
