Hey, this is CSI Warrick Brown speaking. This is going to sound strange but I have a giant tadpole telling me something about a digital world and seven demonic kings …? Please tell me that’s at least a joke, ‘cos this swamp stinks way too much to be a hallucination.

[approaching rustles and splashes] Hey, Rick, I found a stable path out you can-Ouh

You have Alex's middle name ...

[moonlight_dj]

[laugh] I do, do I? And what's your name?

[teddysaidso]

Haiiiiley~!

Hailey Beth Stokes~!

[moonlight_dj]

Nice to meet you, Hai--

[Pause.]

... Okay, wait. I'm sorry, princess, did you say Stokes? Do you know a Nicky Stokes?

[teddysaidso]

Ahuh! That's my Daddy!

[moonlight_dj]

[Okay so. He was thinking 'uncle'. But daddy? C'mon guys, this prank's getting out of hand. Not that he'd going to let this on to Hailey, of course.]

He's your daddy, huh? Well, what d'you know. He's one of my best friends. [In an amused, conspiratorial voice] I think he's been hiding you from me. [But he can't be angry if it was true. Because he was doing the same. It just doesn't sound like Nick to do that.]

[teddysaidso]

Really? You know my Daddy? Hiiiii!! [the name 'Warrick' is really familiar, and not just because it's Alex's middle name, but she can't quite place where that's from ...]

Does Daddy know you're here?

...

Wait, why would Daddy hide me from you?

[moonlight_dj]

[laughing] Hii! I don't know, princess. I haven't spoken to him.

Well, Daddy Stokes and Uncle Sanders have apparently been pulling pranks on poor old Warrick. So maybe we should ask him, huh?

[teddysaidso]

Weeeelllll ... Daddy didn't even know about me until he came here, so I guess that might be a reason why he didn't tell ya ...

After all, you just came here, right?

...

Can I call you Uncle Warrick?

[moonlight_dj]

I ... guess that could be it. Things are really weird around here, huh? [He's not sure he wants to believe the whole time thing like Sara said, but. Well.]

[chuckle] If that's what you want. I think I'd like that too. [Nick's daughter. Dayum.]

[teddysaidso]

Yaaaay! Uncle Warriiiick! Hiiiii!

Oh, Oh, have ya met Teddy? Teddy's been with me since I was reeeeeal little!

Hello. Pleasure to meet you.

He can TALK here! I used t'be the only one who could hear him!

[moonlight_dj]

Nope, I can't say I have. Nice to meetcha, Teddy.

Then it's a good thing he can talk now, huh? ['Cos she's always got someone to keep an eye on her now. And if this place is anything like Vegas, she'd need it.]

[teddysaidso]

[Daddy and Mommy take care of me, too! O:]

Ahuh! We talk a lot more now!

[moonlight_dj]

Well, that's good. Hope he takes good care of you for your parents.

[assuming this is after the fire; Hail woke up and got bored and yay d-comm amusement]

[teddysaidso]

Mommy and Daddy take real good care of me too~ Daddy got hurt tryin' to get me out of the Hyperion when there was lotsa smoke in there ...

He's in a different hospital room right now. I wanna go see 'im but the nurses won't let me right now, they keep sayin' how I have to stay in bed and get lotsa rest.

Yup, Jen and I randomly decided this would be post-fire anyway. XD;

[moonlight_dj]

Nick got--Is he okay?

Well, you should always listen to your nurses.
