[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.]

he still owes me if he wants to know more about norfinbury or the old locals
the microscope isnt crucial

[thewarningafter]

I told you, I have other people for that.

[He would, indeed, prefer Queen, the Stones, or the Who.]

[rubikscomplex]

how about something a little more blues, doc?

[And congrats, Stephen, you're getting House singing the first couple verses of St. James Infirmary. His voice is a little hoarse, but he's perfectly in tune and maybe that just adds to the atmosphere of the song.]

I went down to St. James Infirmary
Saw my baby there
She was stretched out on a long white table
So cold, so sweet, so sweet, so fair

Let her go, let her go, God bless her
Wherever she may be
She can search this whole wide world over
She won't ever find another man like me

[And back to text.]

c'mon, stevie wonder
impress me

[mrcreamsicles]

omg
i dont even like blues but theres never enough music here
thanks house

[They're probably still in the same place unless House has left early, but does that stop him from responding this way? No. He's a child of the internet.]

[rubikscomplex]

[Really, Davesprite? Fine.]

talk to the rat king if you haven't
he plays a mean plastic trumpet, i hear

[mrcreamsicles]

whos the rat king

[rubikscomplex]

do you know the muffin man?

[mrcreamsicles]

i hear he lives on drury lane
now stop being a shit

[rubikscomplex]

try something unpronounceable
that's your hint, kid

audio

[thewarningafter]

[Damn House for pressuring him, and damn him for having a good singing voice.]

You've been nothing but a colossal dick since I got here.

[And. Yet.]

I want to break free
I want to break free
I want to break free from your lies
You're so self satisfied I don't need you
I've got to break free
God knows, God knows I want to break free.

[He leaves off there, cutting out his audio. It's...not bad. He's not a great singer, but he's at least on key.]

audio

[rubikscomplex]

not bad, evil twin
i'd say i'm almost impressed

not here

[thewarningafter]

[Well, that was a thing. He's not going to defend his singing voice to Dr. Dickwad over here, and his conversation with Davesprite is a lot more interesting anyway.]
