Attention! Please Stay Tuned for An Important Public Health Bulletin ...
[Dr. Yumeno is sitting in his womb chair, in a sterile office. There is a pull-down projector screen behind him, and a six-foot tall cabinet behind him, double stainless steel doors.]

Good evening, fellow immigrants and citizens! This is an educational video, for your consumption. I'll be feeding you the important information, tonight. [His tone is airily haughty and filled with patronizing hubris, awash with a blatant sense of self-importance.] It's much better TV for you, than all of that other excess, mind-numbing junk you stuff yourselves with.

Our first topic in this lecture series is: The Virus.

[He points a remote and screen behind him flickers from a fishtank screensaver to several diagrams in a powerpoint slideshow. which appear to be taken from a advanced-level biology textbook.]While a biological entity in its own right, it's debatable whether a virus can be

I never said you hadn't changed, nor did I say that you aren't more stable. I told you to stop outright lying that these were still concerns.

[She scowls.]

I know how you've changed, Daedalus. I've watched you. Don't put words in my mouth and don't act like I don't know you. I do.

[gaveherwings]

Then why did you call?

You don't want me to tell you that's not true?

[proxysearch]

To see if you're okay! Would you listen for once, for pity's sake?!

call;

[gaveherwings]

Re: call;

[gaveherwings]

[Good, because she needs to deal with Raul and Batman first.]

Okay. Tomorrow morning, I'll take you to work.

Call;

[gaveherwings]

Okay.

[He's dreading work, if his coworkers saw-]

You've been watching all of them?

Call;

[proxysearch]

[She frowns.]

...Yes, I have been.

Call;

[gaveherwings]

And still no confirmation for how this is happening.

Re: Call;

[gaveherwings]

I'm a little ashamed of myself for not just leaving it be. It's the sort of think that can't be helped.

Call;

[proxysearch]

I've heard theories that it's because people are watching the television.

Call;

[gaveherwings]

But- How can that-

That doesn't make sense!

Call;

[proxysearch]

No?

What if these are monsters that can mirror us? Isn't the TV, technically, like a mirror?

Re: Call;

[gaveherwings]

A distorted one. Maybe.

It's going to take more than taunting with our reputations to send us out into the dark.
