[The static has died down today, some of the fear and paranoia creeping away with it. There's a message that needs to be sent out and John feels some... obligation - connection? Jia had spoken to him in the dreams. It feels important to share her story. His expression is grave when he speaks up on the video.]

For everyone I haven't spoke with, yet, my name is Dr. John Watson. I'm presently in Norfinbury Hospital with Ms. Tifa Lockhart, Mr. Alphonse Elric, and Quark. Following an application that Ms. Lockhart--Tifa--received some time ago, and that Dr. House supplemented with something else found in the hospital, we were able to locate the final resting place of Ms. Jia Xú, a Nurse Practitioner who lived in Norfinbury one hundred years ago.

Quark was very brave and entered into a small room on the first floor's southeast corner. Please be aware that there is a dead body in that room. It was holding an SD card that recorded the final moments of Jia's life. We've added it to the public record and it's attached here. It is graphic, horrible, and not fit for anyone with a weak stomach.

[John attaches the files from the SD card.]

Briefly, Jia was murdered by one of the patients here. There was an epidemic that somehow overloaded the NIMA system and left them with only 'iodine.' That's typically used as a topical disinfectant in a clinical settling like this, which falls in line with what I saw when I- [There's a brief pause.] For those who read my casebook, you'll be aware that I was suffering from a form of dual reality at one point. I was both existing in Norfinbury itself and in the hospital here while it was experiencing a flood of victims. I couldn't see anyone's faces, but the patients were wrapped in gauze, presumably due to some wise-spread skin disease.

Jia also says in her final message that the patients were beginning to exhibit strange behaviors. The man who murdered her did not respond to any of the physical retaliation she inflicted on him while trying to fight him off. At least one of the actions she took should have moved him. He had no affect and his motions were jerky and stretched out.

To those who might have seen clips of Jia before or who might have met her in their dreams like I did, I'm very sorry. She got this information to us, though. I'm not sure how we can use it, yet, but we have it.

Characters: Steph, Zach, Al, Church, Luna, Kesara, Watson, Quark, Tifa
Location Building 58 and environs
Date: Days 157/158
Summary: A meeting of many people
Warnings: In comment headers, please!

58: A simple single-story building, the snow weighs uneasily on it, and it creaks and groans under the strain at the best of times. It's very dark, and only the kitchen and living room are intact. The kitchen has a back door. Two snowmen have been built outside. A message has been written on the wall in blue ink: "Don't wreck the snowmen! That's super mean!" "ALPHONSE ELRIC, MAMI TOMOE, FREYA CRESCENT, GREED, EDWARD ELRIC, STEPHANIE BROWN, DAY FORTY ONE, TRAVELLING EAST." has been carved into one of the walls. The following has been written on the wall in blue pen: "This is Building 95 97 on the composite map. Contact @CaptSteveRogers for details." Underneath this is a fairly accurate map showing the house in relation to the school and buildings 29, 35, 35, 37, 40, 41, 47, 48, 50, 53. House 34 is labeled "Medical assistance; hot, clean water. Contact Dr. Epps @claytonator". The school is labeled "School. Food available in cafeteria; DO NOT STAY HERE OVERNIGHT." The shed is labeled "Shed".

[ So with the way things have been recently, Rhys needs cheering up. Badly. And as far as Angel is concerned, the best way to do that is with a really stupid post.

Like, really stupid.

The video begins innocuously enough - just Angel, beaming at the camera and offering a glowy little wave. ]

Hi. We - uh, Rhys and I - need some help with an argument we've been having. Just a frivolous one, nothing important. So: who wore it better?

[ She attaches a file - a photo of Beckett in a flower crown, sleeping, with a snoring Rhys drooling on his shoulder. Also in a flower crown. Then covers her mouth with a vaguely guilty look. Oops. ]

Wait, not - not that one. Shoot. Let me just - okay, who wore this better?

[ And this time she attaches the right image - herself and Rhys wearing shitty skirts made out of bedsheets. Yes, they shaved their legs for this. Yes, Rhys too. They're Hyperion okay grooming is important ]

Rhys thinks that just because his legs are longer, he--

[ But she gets no further, because she's interrupted by happy robot screams as the same bedsheet floats across the screen. It's either a spooky ghost, or Dumpy wanted to demonstrate that he wears it best. WHO KNOWS??? Either way, the feed ends. What an important post. ]

( Read more... )

[The video begins with a shot up Charles' nose before he moves the camera up and out to the rest of his face- mostly the left half of his face, actually. There's blood smeared on his forehead, and he looks pale. Also pissed.]

Okay, listen. First things first, we didn't start it. Second things... second, he's not dead. For now.

And third thing, I would just really like to know who the hell this guy is.

[The tablet is turned around to show a body on the ground, face down. A hand comes into frame, and it's heavily but sloppily bandaged, red soaking through. There might be one fewer finger there than there's supposed to be. The hand tentatively grabs the nearest shoulder- there's a muttered-] shit- [And then the man on the ground is rolled over. It's Beckett, for those who recognize him, though Charles, clearly, does not. He's unconscious, and there's blood on his face, too. Mostly near his mouth.]

This asshole, I'm pretty sure he just swallowed my goddamn finger, and you probably don't wanna see what he did to Charlie. I don't really wanna smash his face in with a hammer, but it's also really kinda tempting.

[Charles brings the tablet back up to himself.]

For now I just need to know: who is this guy? And why the hell did he just try to kill us?

[A pause. Charles looks uncertain about this next part. Wary, maybe.]

Also... are there... any... doctors listening? I think Charlie might be in trouble.

Characters: Watson, Joker, England, Natasha Romanov, Tony Stark, Quark, and Luna
Location South of the school in various locations.
Date: Day 143-144

Warnings: A lot of violence.

( Look who's laughing now... )

[The video clips on and shows the Joker looking down at the tablet from beneath a wide-brimmed, flowery hat.

He wipes blood from his lip with his sleeve and scowls.]

Yanno, I am really not in the mood for you people.

If you're gonna go around picking fights with poor, old clowns at least have the decency to do it indoors.

[He rolls his eyes.]

Otherwise I have a tendency to get a little frisky.

[The tablet swings around and shows a mound of snow. It looks like a human form has been buried beneath it by hand. One foot is still visible.]

That there is my dear Watson.

I'm in a giving mood so he's still alive. Better hop to it, though, lovelies, 'cause he won't survive the night.

[He turns the tablet again and looks down at the camera, waving a finger.]

No, you aren't getting any clues. You should all know from last time that I'm not the dang Riddler. And forgive me I'm not too fussed about letting someone die.

Toodles!

[The feed ends.]

(ooc: Since this a fairly last minute thing the rescuers are already agreed to be Natasha, Tony, England, America, and Ginger. I still encourage people to search if they want to!)

[First, Quark posts something open to the network for everyone to participate in. He filters it away from Robert Miller, though, because it would be weird for him to be watching. Not that he's too sure it'll work but...it's worth a shot.]

Hey...so I have a question. I was thinking about some of the things we learned from Mr. Miller yesterday and I wanted to know what you guys think. He mentioned that he was ordered into a cold sleep by the Admin...but I don't think he mentioned why he would've been woken up now. Isn't that kind of weird? What about all the other times there were people here before us? I guess he could've been woken up and put back to sleep over and over...but that kind of seems fishy to me, too.

[And at this point, he switches over to his fellow shadownet users.]

hey! sorry about posting that publicly since I know the admin's watching so he probably is too but i wanted everyone to see it and talk about it. That reminds me, I think we need to work harder to try and spread this out if we can. I know a couple of us got it from copycat apps. I got mine in the school. Maybe there's a common theme about where we can find them so we can hand them out and get more people able to talk to us!

Riddle for you guys -- what has two eyes, two arms, and devilishly good looks?

[ Rhys appears onscreen, wiggling not one, but two sets of fingers -- one distinctly yellow and robotic. He's batting his eyelids, which looks incredibly ridiculous but does draw attention to his blue eye. As if the unnatural pale light it's giving off in the dark isn't enough. ]

This guy! Can't run much beyond simple diagnostics here, bu-u-ut everything's coming up Rhys! For once! ...okay the whole hospital morgue thing was a complete bust but still.

[ He flashes a big, bright smile. Euphoria is a hell of a natural painkiller, folks. ]

Attached myself to the tablet -- I know, I know, but I've learned my lesson about hacking the network. Just wanted to see how warped the drive --

[ Abruptly -- perhaps worryingly -- Rhys' video cuts off.

A brief text follows: ]
