[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.]

ive seen a few people suggest time-resetting shenanigans as an explanation for how supplies get "restocked" between sessions
which is to say they dont
that would make sense when people are being grabbed from other universes right?
you cant mess with space without stepping in a steaming pile of time!!

it seems that every building in town is made of some kind of metal that hasnt been identified yet
i would guess lead because its very efficient at blocking radiation

[ The effectiveness of a shielding material in general increases with its atomic number, and that's kind of neat. Lead's atomic number is 82, which is the second-highest atomic number of all practically stable elements. ]

you cant really tell the walls are weird unless you scrape away the paint on the walls and stuff

i would really like to know who or whatever made these dolls though!
maybe we could talk to them like you did with andromeda
the dolls must look like us for a reason

hm
the thing about time here is its hard to get a read on how it actually works
i dont have special time perception and even if i did i doubt it would work here
plus we gotta contend with knowing we cant always trust our eyes because the nanomachines mess with stuff
like when the snow was stopped in the air back
uh
you know when

[Murder night. He's... going to skip over that. His feelings about it are still complicated, but he knows it's not her fault.]

steph told me about some other incident here where time felt all weird and stretched out too
and someone else here
im not saying who because they want to keep it on the down low
someone who had time powers before got jumped back and forth across time and space around the town that second time the static happened
back when you were seeing green everywhere
time doesnt seem to work the same way in every universe either
or at least time travel doesnt but that probably implies stuff about the mechanics overall
science man who invented it
probably some stuffy old dudes got together forever ago and argued out the laws of physics and banged gavels all bam we hereby ratify that gravity makes apples conk dudes in the head

[Jade is always going to be the big scientist between them.]

anyway
dolls
you talk to them if you want but im gonna steer clear
i got enough creepy shit to worry about already
