[Network; Text] @dissect; friendly neighborhood spider fish; Morning 74 [open]

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?

I don't know how long we're staying in the hospital.
If you get there and we're still there, I'll help you look around.

I can do that.
I'll let you know if I find anything.
