Hello, everyone. This is Dr. Watson. I have three announcements:

1. Batman has died and the Joker is now free. He's presently somewhere around the residential area or possibly Hsiaoke Pass. Please use extreme caution in these areas. The Joker is an armed and dangerous criminal. He is erratic and may lash out unexpectedly. Please review his entry in the Norfinbury Survival Guide. Contact myself or Ms. Natasha Romanov if you spot him.
   
   
2. We have successfully cured at least one patient of MN Poisoning through a blood transfusion. I am in close contact with the patient to determine if it wears off and when that happens. If you are suffering from severe MN symptoms, please contact myself or another medical professional. I was able to conduct the procedure with a syringe transfusion. This is not ideal, but it works. If anyone is in possession of an additional syringe, this would be very helpful. I've cleaned the one I have to the best of my ability, but procedures will be safer with fresh medical devices.
   
   
3. An exchange I had with the Admin earlier today indicates that she has observed no irregularities in our appearance. For those of you with Prophet or glowing eyes, I have time-stamped video clips showing every single person alive in Norfinbury has normal eyes.

[A transcript of the full exchange and a link to the video montage of faces are attached.]

You can add me to the list of people to contact if you see the Joker. I'm with Nat, but. Just in case.

[ Also, he sends a link to this just for Watson. :T ]

[jumpthegun]

All right.

Dr. Strange hasn't specified what level of pain killers he requested. We've known for some time that low-level pain killers are running short. That's not what you're on, Clint. [Okay. He's a terrible liar, but this is, technically all true. John's just omitting the specific message he got about mid-grade pain killers.]

Cured or in remission?

The study I made of both varieties of eyes showed marked physical changes from the norm.

[jumpthegun]

[His study. Right. John grits his teeth and holds his tongue.]

More likely in remission, but that's why we're monitoring it.

I'm aware of that, Dr. Stein. Given the disparity in our perceptions and reality, I'm not sure whether to believe our own research or the video clips provided.

[Oh, he's getting called out again, what fun! But what did Watson just write there? There's only one part of this that interests the clown.]

...Batman's dead?

He really died?

[jumpthegun]

Feeling lonely in the world, Mr. Joker?

This is... rather unsettling.

[jumpthegun]

Which part, sir?

[Enjoy the dry humor, Francel.]

[jumpthegun]

If the patient and donor wish to identify themselves, that's their prerogative. I'm afraid the specifics are confidential.

@Spoiler ; audio

[spoileralert]

[ Okay number 3 is very encouraging, but. ]

Really. The fucking Joker is on the loose and I don't make the list?

[jumpthegun]

[You're a little girl, Steph.]

Ms. Romanov and I are in the immediate vicinity and coordinating. That's all.

[jumpthegun]

Not that I'm aware of. I'd have to ask. I'm not sure it works that way, though. We're all still sharing the same nanomachines and network. Whatever the Admin's seeing, it seems to be outside of the system we're in.

[jumpthegun]

[It's half a moment before John realizes who the hell Davesprite is talking about.]

I did see it, so that's good, right? You're doing all right with those results?

[ninjainviolet]

[ Thanks for confirming that the Joker may be right where she's headed. She appreciates it.

But she's smart enough not to say anything about that. ]

Wait. If I'm reading that conversation with ADMIN right... What happened was a mistake and the eyes were an illusion afterward?

[jumpthegun]

As far as it's concerned on her end, yes. And the eyes are still an illusion, however that's working.

@expostfacto; text

[whatjupitercouldnt]

This is why I want to know how integrated into the town's systems these nanomachines are. There's not enough evidence to dismiss the illusion theory, but if they are then there's plenty of ways that the admin's statement and the videos could be compromised.

[jumpthegun]

I think she and Mr. Miller are the ones controlling the nanomachines, though.

@Kid, Audio

[equal_shots]

I don't understand how you use the text function so easily, Dr. Watson. I still struggle reading it. [Kid is trying to start with something nonchalant. He does feel a bit bad about hanging up the other night.]

I'm glad to hear the transfusion was a success, despite the challenges. Hopefully it will become easier in the future--there are people who need the transfusion desperately. [The violent coughing that keeps him from continuing for a moment suggests that Kid might be a good candidate.]

I am most interested in the video from the Admin, Eve. If that is how she is seeing us, what does she see of those who have been permanently injured, or who have been changed to more humanoid forms? I would be interested in Eve's perspective of us--is it always different than ours?

audio

[jumpthegun]

Sherlock. He prefers to text. I've gotten used to it after enough years. [Because what else are you talking about Kid? Surely not the fact that John is missing an eye. We're just skipping past that. Yes.]

What was your blood type again, though?

Not really sure what you mean. We have got those clips, so we're seeing what she's seeing for people who've been injured and aren't human.

Frisk is suffering from severe MN symptoms
you should give Frisk blood

private

[jumpthegun]

[Well, that sure is a message.]

I already spoke to them about this, Frisk. I'm having a little trouble finding a healthy donor with their blood type. They have the kind that's very special and can only take their same blood type.

[He sounds so determined, he is not going to be put off this time, Dr. Watson.]

I'm so glad that you managed to help someone, but that makes it even more important for anyone without MN poisoning symptoms to donate. Please reconsider letting me help.

audio; private

[jumpthegun]

Considering the state of your body, Al, I'm even more disinclined to have you as a donor than I was before. It'll hurt you as much as help anyone, and that's just counterproductive.
