[ Alex has tried and failed to find Sofia, and her room is a little more bee-filled for his trouble. His other options? Metal guy. Who knows where he lives? Sinclair. Armed. He'll be on his guard. No good, no good, where does he go?

The hunt for the murderer's still afoot, right? The spliced-up murderer. What might he leave lying around his room? Something bright? Something delicious? It's worth a shot.

He'll have to be careful. Not show his hand too soon. Might get thrown off the case.

So he leaves the video off.

...Because without the video there's no way to tell that he's different. Riiight. ]

Nao-to?

[ ...ESPECIALLY NOT if his voice is tense and a little bit singsong _{shut up}. ]

Nao-to...?

((ooc: action tags are welcome; he's using a wall comm on the tenth floor.))

[ and that huge block of text-thinking happens faster than me eating a slice of cheesecake. which is fast. ]

Even if he had access to whatever you're after, you're certainly in no condition to take it from him.

[ You don't savour your cheesecake? And they say Alex is the crazy one!

...My point still stands, even though he is now letting out a kind of unhinged-sounding gigglegasp. It's very short, and kind of desperate, and more than a little aggressive. ]

I am. I re-he-heeeally am.

[ okay, trying to see what he's capable of/convincing him to rest/doctor/whatever = working. let's try some capitulation for some information. ]

All right, a trade it is. How would you like to go about this?

Uh, _uh uh...

[ ...he actually has no idea. He tries to bring his mind to bear on the question, but it slides away, registering as unimportant. IT'S NOT PLASMIDS, WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM HIM. ]

[ god, you druggies are always so delicate to deal with. ]

Would you like to meet? [ so i can somehow find a magical way to knock you out and put you somewhere safe? the method is not important. ]

Why?

[ INSTANT SUSPICION. This is just information! Meeting up wastes precious plasmid-finding time! ]

It would be detrimental if others were listening over the network, correct? [ play on paranoia, but not too much. ]

[ Worried. He didn't think this far ahead. ]
