[the video starts and john watson here comes into view! he looks a bit wary, rather exhausted even like he's running ragged or having a lack of sleep. even more so since he seems a bit busy and preoccupied in his clinic.]

So I realize a few people have gone missing before, now my colleague.. Martin Septim, some of you have been healed or helped by him here in the clinic or talked to him in the library, I can't seem to be able to find him. Or contact him. So I'm assuming he's gone now too.

Does anyone have an idea where they've taken them? Anything at all?

[he pauses, looks to want to add more but decides against it.]

Also something's been bothering me.. I've had a few cases with nightmares coming to the clinic, the dreams are similar to each other enough it doesn't seem like a coincidence. And a few terrified out of their mind about something that, I can't see or seem to understand.

[honestly? it's like the hounds of baskerville all over again.]

I still haven't figured out what exactly is going on, but something is. I'm sorry I can't be much help with that.

[something has to be causing it though. but what? airborne like the H.O.U.N.D incident? no fog that he sees, so some other way.. the doctor shakes his head clearly not figuring it out anytime soon.]

Try to keep on your toes.

[ She needed to contact him, but the fact that she was worrying at all meant that she was growing dangerously close to caring about him and his well being, something she'd promised herself wouldn't happen while she was here. So she just hunted down his latest network post for purposes of distance. ]

Are you all right?

[the moment her text comes in, John manages to breathe a sigh of relief, it alone said that was she was fine. and.. honestly he appreciated the fact she was even checking in on him. for now he sets on responding, despite being distracted with the now going-ons.]

I'm fine, things are getting a bit out of hand and crazy but otherwise I'm okay. What about you?

I'm fine.

Have you heard from Riku?

[ the check-in tango. These are the two people whose safety she's most concerned about. ]

Good. That's good. And I've sent him a message, he's alright.

Good.

I'm appreciative.

[ because saying I'm glad is too close to admitting attachment okay. ]

Do you have plans?

Not currently. Other than trying to make sure things don't get too out of hand.

Don't risk yourself to do that.

I can't exactly sit still. Don't worry, I'll be fine.

Be careful, John.

I would rather not lose any teammates.

I will, you should to. But really I won't go down that easily.

I'm always careful.

And I can believe that.

And I can believe that.

[he wants to add more;

please don't die.

i don't want to lose you.

but, he settles for something else]

We'll get through this.

Yes. We will.

[ It's all she has to offer - a meaningless promise that she's not sure she believes. But she won't admit that to John. Won't add anything to his worries. ]
