Ryan paused. "I mean I suppose so." He agreed with Percy. "Better than most anyways. Or maybe he really has just cracked." He added, continuing to agree.
"I mean. We could try taking him to a psych ward or something? With all the crazies around here, there's definitely a few of those. My dad has one in the hospital he works at, we could take him there..." He proposed.
Ryan was only vaguely listening to William's one-sided conversation. "Can the bacterium in there hear us too?" He asked William, innocently, and not realizing he was actually insulting someone by saying that.

Slumped forward in her chair, a current of blood rushing by outside her window as Proteus II clung to the inside of a vein, Lydia cast a dour glare at her monitor. Specifically the image of Ryan it was broadcasting. "Yes."
She then ran a hand through her hair and offered a response to William's inquiries. "I have no idea why I'm here. I was unconscious during the injection. I have no jurisdiction on that matter, and the people who do... well, I haven't been able to get in contact with them over the course of the hour I've spent awake in here. All I know is that I was inside an airsoft pellet... and now I'm inside you."

"Hey, uh, Ryan, could you be a little bit nicer? She says she can hear you... Though from what I can tell slash hear, I'm the only one that can hear her." William stood up. "Well, that's just a flat pain in the ass, isn't it? ... Please tell me you're not gonna suddenly grow to full size inside me, go chestburster, or anything along those lines on me..."
Percy blinked, going wide-eyed. "Will." He placed a hand on the much taller blonde's shoulder. "Are... you sure you're okay? I mean, I talk to myself, but that's because Imago likes to run his mouth when he's not sleeping."
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
"... Right now he's literally just saying the letter z over and over... Hey, Ryan, you... need to say anything?" The brunette gestured for the cyborg to come closer.
"... Before you ask, Imago is the demon who lives in Percy's head and sometimes takes over his body. He also likes to put bugs on my face. Just feel like you should know that, just in case," William said this very casually, as if he was used to introducing people to brain-inhabiting demons.

Ryan blinked. "She? Her?" He asked, strangely and in a puzzled expression. That was a little unusual. "Err... okay.... what would "she" prefer me to refer to her as?" He asked, before being pulled aside by Percy.
When prompted though, Ryan fell into an uncomfortable silence. "You mean about that? Uh... er... If possible I'd rather keep that on the down low..." He murmured. "Just... not a fun topic for me. But yeah, umm.... Will, you want us to take you to a hospital? See if they can poke around inside your head or something?" He offered.

"Well, I can definitely assure you none of that's gonna happen," Lydia offered somewhat awkwardly. "My pod doesn't have the necessary equipment for reenlargement and it's not an automatic process. Only way I can get back to normal is if I can get back to the lab. Which is... kinda why I need your help here. I mean, I'm sure you want me out as much as I do..."
There was a stiff exhale at Ryan's comment, followed by a slightly morbid chuckle at William's explanation of Imago and Percy's relationship. "Guess that explains a number of your ramblings. Irony's a b*tch."

"We... already went to a hospital." William scratched the back of his head. "All that happened was that I had a freak out."
"It was more than a freak out, you made a complete arse out of yourself." Percy waved the magazine around, grinning. "I also got this magazine. Hey, Ryan, check it out, doesn't this one look super hot?"
William rolled his eyes. "Alright, we both want out. So... where IS this lab, anyway? ... Are they gonna cut me open? I'm already down one kidney, I don't need to lose the other!"

"Sure but did they actually poke around in there?" He paused when Percy showed him the magazine, and he leaned over.
"Yeah, I can see it." He answered Percy. "The look really works.... I agree!"
And then when William started talking to himself again, Ryan looked over. At this point it was almost a game to try and guess what he was replying to. "What's this about a lab?" He took a deep breath. "Assuming you haven't gone insane, can you explain a little more about what's going on Will? It sounds like you're learning a bit more."

"No one's gonna cut you open, Will," Lydia assured him. A smile was evident in her voice, likely out of gratitude for his cooperation. "Once I'm in a safe enough environment for extraction, I can just pilot myself out through an orifice or sweat gland or something. All you gotta worry about is getting me there. The lab is right on the edge of the business district uptown. It's got a giant lot all to itself on the corner of 42nd and Saturn. Can't miss it."

"42nd and Saturn, okay I can do that."
William suddenly stood up to his full height. "Alright, I know where to go to get her out! C'mon, Perce! Let's go to the corner of 42nd and Saturn!" He took all of one step before freezing. "... I don't know how to read the languages around here..."
"Oi, Will!" Percy stood up after. Not wanting to waste their order, he tossed the pizza boxes into his coat. After some interesting sliding noises, the brunette resumed what he was doing. "Wait up for me, will ya?" He turned to Ryan, and in a hushed tone...
"Please come with us. Will can't read the most common languages around her and I'm not sure if the signs are in our script. ... I can barely read."

Ryan stood up as Will did. "Hey, have you worked something out?" It seemed that he had, but he had only taken one step before hearing Will's second half of his statement. "You... can't... read?" He asked in surprise. At Percy's request, Ryan nodded. "Of course! I can read around here." He frowned.
"Just checking Will, but could the voice in your head also give you some direction?" He offered. "But I can totally come as back up!" He said cheerfully, resuming his stride for the door. "42nd and Saturn, right-- wait..." He paused and looked at his arm. "Damnit dad, why'd it have to be in my arm!??" He grumbled, not wanting to overtly use his phone's GPS to try and locate their destination. Hey, they'd find it eventually right? There wasn't a huge rush!
....Right?

"...Can't read." Lydia drummed her fingers on the dashboard as she soaked in this new information, her voice a low mumble. "Suppose I shouldn't be surprised, given the nature of this island..."
She shrugged and resumed speaking at a normal volume, "Well, I guess having someone around to guide you would be slightly more efficient than having me yell at you the whole way there." Granted, the more people she brought to Mexus's doorstep and made aware of the miniaturization project, the more irate her father would likely be... Ah, screw it. Considering the day Lydia was having, her dad could kiss her microscopic ass.
"So... no time like the present. Let's get me outta here."

"Oh, uh... either helps..."
William resumed his peppy pace as though he had never frozen after the first step. "Lydia, Ryan! Lead the way! Let's get her outta me before the day can get any weirder!"
"Uh, sure." Percy made an awkward chuckle. "That'll work. I guess I'll just cover for you guys in case we get jumped?"
By Set's wilted testicle, what did I get myself into?
By the one eye of Odin, what did I get myself into?
Humans are amusing!
As the group set off, they were unaware of a greenish swift with a red eye watching them... Ah, a third party, it thought. This actually makes it even easier! It flapped its wings and took off, following the three, its altitude preventing a positive identification.

Ryan nodded, and headed out. "Alright, well 42nd..... We're a ways outm, so I guess this way to start..." Ryan proposed, trying to direct the ground in the vague area he believed Saturn Ave. was located. I'm not 100%, or anything.... maybe Will's little friend can help guide me at least to that point? Ah. I'm sure he'll speak up if I turn us wrong. Or not. And if he doesn't... probably for the best, it means this probably really is just in his head.[/color] Ryan thought, unaware of the eye piercing through the group.[/font]

"Alright!" Lydia chimed, nodding to the young man on her monitor. "Lead the way, Ryan. Shout if you need me."
She took a deep breath, smiling with relief. Finally, she was getting somewhere. Will was calm, he was listening to her, and he was actually willing to follow her instructions. And his friends... well, they were at least going along with it. By this point, there was a distinct possibility that absolutely everyone in the party thought Will was crazy, likely including Will himself. She couldn't exactly blame any of them for the reactions they were having, but hey, they wouldn't have to put up with this for much longer. This lunacy would be over soon. Right...?
Lydia's smile fell as she dropped her head into her hand with a heavy sigh.
Jesus's circumcised dick, what did I get myself into?
