Room 016 [video]

_{[The feed clicks on and shakes for a moment as Henry struggles to sit the 'gear upright on the hotel dresser. He backs away and grins wider than...anybody has probably seen him. Ever. Dangling in his arms like a stuffed toy is a very drowsy looking baby Tropius.]}

This is Fruit Loops. He's two days old today. Envy gave him to me. He is not an owl.

_{[That's important!]}

Say hello, Fruit Loops!

_{[The little dinosaur opens one eye, then the other. There's nobody here to say hello to. XI Whatever. He yawns and tucks his head into the crook of Henry's arm.]}

That's close enough.

_{[In the background, peering over the edge of the bed is a pair of huge, yellow and blue eyes. They are not pleased with the leafy new addition. Not at all.]}

[oh wow hold on Douglas needs to pause and be... confused. Because that's some Silent Hill-level stuff and he's not really prepared. For a moment he has to just blink]

So you named the cat burger 'cause it meows like the chunk of meat?

[he's heard of stranger things]

Any idea why it meowed, though?

_{[Henry's blankface actually pinches into something that looks like frustration.]}

I don't know. Probably the same reason my shoes kept walking around by themselves and disembodied heads started hovering outside my window. It was a really bad apartment.

[oh wow]

I hope they gave you your deposit back.

[all joking aside, though, now he looks concerned]

Sounds like you had a pretty bad cause of hauntings or somethin' in there. Ever figure out what was causin' it?

Probably had something to do with the serial killer that crucified himself inside my wall.

_{[It was a REALLY bad apartment.]}

[just a momentary lineface because oh geez]

Inside the wall? Man, I thought my place was a dump. Why'd he do somethin' like that, anyway? Crucify himself... it's like somethin' out of a bad movie.

Which serial killer are we talkin' about, anyway?

_{[Henry hesitates again. WHY WAS THIS GUY ASKING SO MANY--oh right. Detective. The photographer chews his lip, trying to put the right words together. It was a very muddled story.]}

Short answer? Because cults. Did you ever hear about a guy called Walter Sullivan

Cults? You mean like that weird cult up in Silent Hill?

[he looks slightly uncomfortable at the thought of them, and then he nods at the last question]

Yeah, Walter Sullivan was the guy who was killin' those people and carvin' the numbers into their bodies, right? It was some sick stuff. I was still on the force when they caught him. Heard he killed himself in prison, carved the last number into himself. Am I thinkin' of the right guy?

_{[Henry scratches the side of his head. Had Heather not told him? Henry sort of depended on her to communicate everything to the rest of the world...HE WAS BAD AT IT OKAY.]}

Yeah. That cult exactly, actually. And yeah, that's the guy. He sure didn't stay dead though. I don't know what the hell happened but I spent forever trying to clean up his mess.

He didn't stay dead?

[Douglas can't exactly say he's surprised, but it's still a little shocking]

What uh... what'd he do? Wait... do ya mean that copycat killer after he died was him?

Yeah. It...it was just a big mess with ghosts and giant monster umbilical cords and trains and my neighbor got turned into some kind of zombie and I don't even know.

[a beat, and Douglas just looks concerned, like he's not entirely sure if he should believe him. Then again, this is Henry, and if Heather trusts him that's good enough for Douglas]

That sounds like a mess.

... monster umbilical cords?

I don't know. Ask Heather.

_{[ASK HEATHER. He counted on her to be his voice and he just...nope. Could not deal. Too many awful mental images. He hadn't finished his story. He didn't have the sense of closure that Heather did.]}
