week 42 (lonely city); day six - video post!
Video starts off shaky at first and then settles on Fen's face, but she's not looking at the camera, she's staring off just past it like at the wall, her eyes not exactly focused on anything.

"Um, okay, so. I decided to try something out as far as searching for Derleth goes." She pauses very shortly to lick her lips. "I wanted to use the magic to find it and figure out where it is because it's technically here, right? Well, I--"

Fen pauses again and the camera shakes as a sound of a paper being grabbed is in the background. The camera goes still again and Fen briefly raises the paper to the camera, flipping it around. On it is a crude drawing of a bunch of random rectangles and squares in a large circle. After about three seconds, she drops the map out of the frame, and her face is back on the screen.

"I drew a map! Of what I thought the city probably is like from where our apartments are located. I did take some time going around and trying to make it accurate, but ANYWAY! It worked? Somewhat? Basically using the locator spell, the whole map lit up which I guess means Derleth is here, it just wasn't as accurate as I thought it would be. Sorry.

"Also, I'd like a medical person to come to my apartment as soon as you can, please? For completely unrelated reasons. I'm at [location]. Thanks, bye!"

	Going through the motions, huh? I never told you how I made them cry, a doctor, a nurse, and a patient. I'm here too. Give me ten to grab my car and I'll meet you there. What is it with wounded people being shy about not wanting to tell you their injuries? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	shipsurgeon 2022-08-14 05:32 pm UTC (link)
	You made them cry? Oh, how horrible! I mean … I imagine it was horrible. I can’t say that I’ve ever made a patient cry before. Colleague, yes, but that was completely unrelated to work. Goodness. I’m afraid to ask how you did that. I won’t ask. Maybe it’s something personal. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mister_doctor 2022-08-14 05:37 pm UTC (link)
	I confronted them with the fact that everything in this hospital is a farce, and they all started weeping at practically the same time, the same way. It was creepy as fuck. I thought I could find some answers about this city, and I suppose I did, but not in the way I expected. It would help to know what to be ready for when we got there.

	I’ll try to be less assertive in any of my potential confrontations then. Don’t know if I could deal with that kind of response right now. That’s a bit unsettling. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yes, I saw Mr. Kenobi express his concerns that the city has some kind of life source. I’ve been meaning to ask him whether he thinks that’s something we can track on our scientific equipment. Based on some of the things people have witnessed though, I wouldn’t be surprised if Ms. Romanoff is correct. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That's where Natasha got the idea from, Obi-Wan. If Obi-Wan can sense it with the Force, then there's a chance you can too? What equipment do you have besides your tricorder? (Reply to this) (Parent)

Well, you're going to get two for the price of one.

What are we looking at here? What sort of emergency should we brace ourselves or bring supplies for?

	I know I chased a squirrel the other day to a subway station that blocked my entry by turning into a newsstand before I could enter. That lends credence to the city hiding something. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Street names are functionally useless here. But there's a Drive Thru about 25 minutes north of the school. Two blocks west of that was the subway station. I put some markings on the buildings to navigate back to it from the restaurant. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
