[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.]

Threaded | Flat

[ 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.

[ eyyyy stiles that's a nice post you've got there but Tim is only interested in one thing ]

I need those pills
not rn, but they're the ones I take
DON'T LOSE THEM

[ If he'd slept at all last night, or if he didn't have the world's worst headache, he'd private this. But right now he just doesn't have the energy to fuss over the fact that people might know he's on meds. Especially since as far as anyone knows, they're just for seizures. ]

Beacons.

[The long winded princess is unusually terse as she responds to Stiles' post. Her voice is quiet and hoarse - almost gravelly - as well; it must be painful to talk. But looking into the tablet's light in order to text sounds like the opposite of what she wants right now, so voice it is.]

They were after those who turned on the beacon. Seems as though they have pulled back for now, though.

[She's absolutely not speaking from experience, what are you talking about.]

These creatures work unlike any I've seen before. They seem to be looking for someone specific as opposed to attacking blindly. Their ability for strategy isn't comforting.

[Not that he's complaining it isn't going after him or Ellana but still.]

I've not seen a hospital, but I found a few pills. Can't say what they are, though.

( they're super creepy pills he found in a watertight box in a flooded basement, y'all, don't take Captain Hook's crazy pills please. )

The ... morgue didn't seem to have much in the way of that sort of provisions, but why bother, I suppose.

( since, you know, dead people are supposed to go there. instead of middling people that wake up after a bit. Hook hadn't searched exponentially hard, but he's ... decently sure. )

[ Well, Haku supposes that some things just never change in this place. And the fact that this guy is literally one of the chattiest people he's ever heard speaking sure is one of those. Even in this situation, he's still prattling on like that... ]

Wouldn't it be weird though? Calling those things "errors". [ See, this is the art of being brief, Stiles. You have a lot to learn, young pandawan.

(The fruit loops were pretty good though, thanks.) ]

( She opts for text, because she has a headache. )

I found a first aid kit while searching through one of the houses, but haven't come across anything quite as useful as a hospital.

I found a pair of tweezers!

[Good for splinters! Medical! It counts!]

And a bottle of lotion.

[Good for...cracked hands. Sort of counts? Quark frowns, looking at the bottle as if it's thoroughly disappointed in it before stashing it back in his pocket. He seems to be in some small enclosed space, like a closet or a cabinet, so the light from the tablet is the only thing illuminating his face. Just like everyone else, he looks like he's battling an annoyingly persistent headache. ]

Also, I don't think it's stupidly optimistic to think that. I mean...those things weren't here before, were they? So if they appeared out of nowhere and now someone's saying there's an error, doesn't it just make sense that those things are the error it means? Maybe they'll be gone soon! Like...tomorrow!

[Okay, that's stupidly optimistic.]

[Al is relieved as hell to hear from Stiles, he's become fond of the older boy and with everything going on, he hasn't been able to keep a good track of the tablet for a day or two.]

Are you sure there's nobody in that other house? Maybe there are others inside there, and so they're closer than you?
