[House is tapping his lips on the other end of things, considering.]
They're real.
[He doesn't know how, but he's fairly sure, at this point, that those things are real. There's some sort of interference on the video, as evinced by the static.]
[He makes a vague, displeased noise, then cuts the video. He ditches the spoon and the rubber gloves—too gross now—and finds himself a spot as far away from the box as he can.]
ok well changing the subject i found your doll the other night so im going to bring you that too
[The transmission starts with a video largely obscured by heavy static; House can probably make out some corpses that look strikingly similar to the last video Ecks sent him. This time there are darker marks on some foreheads, hard to make out. The video pans over the bodies, then ends.]
I washed off a symbol mostly and covered others with ink nothing has happened these bodies are very old they are so old they have turned into mummies, but not the undead kind of mummies, and it is very hard to wash off the symbols
I did what you told me to do and nothing happened moron
first and foremost that the prophet symbols don't mean anything on those guys for now, anyway we just got this geiger app, too don't bother going back to the bodies again but if you come across any more i want you to use the app to check if the bodies are giving off a lot of radiation also you need to come down to this radiation area to help me map
[He sends her his most up-to-date map that shows a gate in the southeast corner of the industrial area.]
[There's a short pause, then a picture comes through displaying the House doll alongside one that looks like Davesprite himself, a purple-eyed cat, and a blue-haired boy holding a book of fairy tales.]
creepy as fuck and i hate having to carry them around but i feel safer having them than just leaving them on their own yknow andersens been dead a while but i cant even ditch his on the off chance he ever comes back meow mix just has me holding onto his for him
is the radiation why the bodies make us sick? Steph said she did not remember if other bodies made people sick but I thought they did and she said to ask you but I did not ask you immediately because you are a moron and you said my opinion didn't matter but I am asking you now do the other bodies people found usually make people sick and make their noses bleed?
we will come there is nowhere else to explore where we are and Zell and his friends are looking at the buildings here
[He's dealt with the doll before, back when he had someone push pins into his effigy. It's still unnerving, especially after what happened with Luca.]
puss-in-boots is a lazy asshole not surprised
i'll see you whenever, i guess i'm heading farther south tomorrow, probs i'll be going slowly in case there's a new area saw something that looked like it might be a gate while we were walking today too late to head that way but i wanna do it tomorrow there's some half-hollow building here along with another that doesn't have any entrances haven't found any way in, yet beckett found a new recording over in the garage he's holing up in, though russian chick didn't sound like winter
the radiation might be why the bodies make us sick something is setting off the mn in our bodies all of the dead bodies make us sick the symptoms we're experiencing are acute mn poisoning it's like what happens in the morgue but on a lower level
