A small group of us conducted an experiment that had an interesting, yet unexpected outcome.

[And here’s an attached video.

There’s something undeniably wrong with the recording, a weird sort of tearing or distortion at the bottom of the screen, and occasional distortion of the audio. But it’s never enough to really conceal anything that’s happening.

A pale, long-haired man (Beckett), looking very wet and very cold (and wearing basically just his underwear, how scandalous) emerges from the pitch-black, freezing cold water in the basement of house 21. He’s helped out of the water by an extremely tall man with glasses, wearing a blanket as a bulky hat (“Doctor Stitches” is what Stein’s been going by on the network), who doesn’t seem too concerned at all.

Beckett’s report is mostly useless (he is currently dying of hypothermia, after all) and there doesn’t appear to have been much to find anyway. Just more darkness, and empty water. Stitches taps out a message on his tablet, and then steps back up out of view. Beckett just lays there, not even conscious anymore. But something is coming through the water, something silvery and flickering, moving as quickly as the fish it vaguely resembles until it reaches Beckett. There’s a brief pause for the totally-not-a-spider to do whatever it’s doing to the vampire, before the recording shakes a bit as the person holding the recording throws something. It’s a bottle, trailing smoke as it spirals into the room and explodes.

And that’s when something interesting happens. The recording goes to static.

Ordinarily, that wouldn’t be interesting. But the odd tearing and distortions of the video continue, and the buzzing hum occasionally skips and cuts out. It’s almost like the video is recording the static, as if it’s an actual, physical thing in the room.

The next text confirms that.]

The static visible at the end of the video was actually present in the room as a physical sensation. Has anyone experienced anything similar before?

A couple of my friends had that, too.
I lost my sense. It was frickin weird.
It felt like something was moving under the floor.

Wonder if it's related to your physical static.

[0thingsonmymind]

under thefloor?

i donot think donot remember if sta tic
came from
some where or if it just
was

[swatsflies]

Whatever it is it's pretty freaky.
Think there is a way to catch it?

[0thingsonmymind]

idid not try
it was there then itwas gone
if we put itin some thing it may still havebeen
gone

idonot know
it didnot look
str ange
tome

[swatsflies]

Might be best not to. Who even knows what it's capable of.
What did you do to lure it out?

Strange distortions and static are normal where you're from?

[0thingsonmymind]

itcame when i threw bottle can bo mb

yes
ithink

*They're normal for him, at least.*

[swatsflies]

So it's protecting the spiders
Well, I guess a fish?
Medical Bot. I'll just call them Medbots.
It's protecting them.

[0thingsonmymind]

ei ther that or the hou se
notus

*He assumes, or else they wouldn't be allowed to do things like this in the first place.*

i won der how many oth er forms they comein

[swatsflies]

Huh. Where is the house at?

Maybe the adapt or change with what they need?
Or every house has it's own set of medbots to observe and help if needed.
Think they would ever show up outside if there is an emergency?

[0thingsonmymind]

itis north of school shed
almost straight north

*Hm....that was a good question. He'll have to find someone who's willing to try that so they can see how it works.*

ido not know if any one has
tried
they donot help with monsters anomalies
but may be with some thing else

[swatsflies]

Okay. I'll make a note to try to swing that way later.
I can't tell you when, though. We have to pick up a friend.

Okay. I don't really recommend trying it because being stuck outside injured would suck.

ignore that >>

[0thingsonmymind]

we would needa plan first

NOT IGNORING IT. :D

[swatsflies]

And a tent. Or maybe build a shelter with the snow.
Like what that one guy who wrote a bunch of tips suggested.

[After a while, he's going to be sending him this.]

well then assume brian is l33t enough to have multiple log ins, then ;P

[0thingsonmymind]

@CaptSteveRogers wrote ti ps

[swatsflies]

Yeah. Well, you don't really have the best reputation here.
But it doesn't hurt to ask.
You could see if anyone is willing to help out with that.

[0thingsonmymind]
