[network] @Chillinski; day 19; things. [open]

[figureitout]

[At first, there is nothing but the sound of something metallic hitting against a wooden table, but then the video focuses on Stiles' face rather than the metallic bottle he managed to knock over (next to a small bottle of aspirin) -- he squints at the tablet, like the light filling the room is hurting his eyes, but eventually he clears his throat like preparing for A Speech.

Well. Something like that, at least.]

Okay, so, things! Thing number one: how stupidly optimistic would it be to think that "correcting for errors" means, you know, those weird creature things nobody actually wants to see again, like, ever? Also, speaking of... did anyone else see them surrounding a house you weren't it, even though the house you were in would have been closer? I mean, not that I'm complaining, it's just... it doesn't make sense. Why wouldn't they go for the closest one with people inside?

[For a moment, it looks like he could say something more about this, it's been something he's been thinking about for the past days -- but then he sighs and moves on, waving his hand at the tablet.]

Anyway, thing number two: has anyone come across a hospital, pharmacy, anything at all that would have medicine or other emergency supplies? Because right now, if one of us gets sick, can't get medicine, runs into someone else, infects them... it's definitely not a good thing. As in, accidental plague levels of not a good thing. [Not that anyone would catch a plague here, probably (you never know!), but even just several people down with the flu at the same time could be bad enough.]

And that brings me to thing number three! [He digs to his backpack, not visible in the view of the recording, pulling out a small bottle that seems to be some kind of medicine.] Is anybody missing seizure meds? Because I found this in one of the houses, and it's either been left behind by one of us or those who lived there, and in case it's one of us, uh, I'm pretty sure seizure meds aren't something you're supposed to leave behind. So. Anyone?

[With a grimace, Stiles cuts the feed -- that's enough socializing for today, and his head is killing him.]

[ It hasn't escaped Ellana's notice that those creatures seem to be searching for certain people over others. The fact that there's danger and it's not coming straight for her for once is actually a bit hard to process. It's a welcome reprieve, but she doesn't understand what it is about others that is turning them into targets. ]

They seem like they're determined to have a certain thing, as opposed to attacking anyone just in general. They haven't taken notice of me or the person I'm with.

[That is the conclusion Stiles has made, too -- he managed to attract the attention of a few of the shadowy things and thus had to double back inside and barricade the door, but eventually, the things left, and haven't been back.]

Hey, good for you. Have you, you know, tried to stay unnoticed or have you been moving from house to house?

[carrywithyou]

We've been moving a bit. Only when we don't see any or if they're grouped up in the distance.

[figureitout]

Yeah, I figured that was the safe bet, too. I mean, going out when you can see them would be the stupidest idea ever. [Which is why he's spent the last two days lying in a bathtub.]

[carrywithyou]

I'd only step outside with them nearby if there was great need. It's easier to avoid them than draw them closer.

[figureitout]

... point. Let's just hope they, I don't know, magically disappear or stop hunting people or something, because otherwise moving around is gonna suck.

[carrywithyou]

[ ...she's going to assume that suck = bad. ]

It's possible. Things seem to come and go here with no warning, like the headaches.

[figureitout]

[A good assumption, Ellana, a+ deduction skills.]

Ugh, yeah, this headache is the worst. It's not just me who feels like my head is about to split open, right?

[carrywithyou]

No, I feel it too. It's this terrible pressure, and everything's too bright.

[ At least she's managed to figure out the brightness setting on her tablet. ]
