is the operator god?
[ Because he's starting to sound 'omnipotent and omnipresent.' If this is a religious experience, he's so done with this conversation. Alex will probably be more useful to consult. ]

Heh. [ 'We'll see.' might be bleeding right into that small chuckle. Considering all "Hot Stud's" run arounds before... ]
Well, I definitely know what you're not good at.
Well, I definitely know what you're not good at.
And I guess we'll never know what I am good at. Such a tragedy. But maybe fewer people will bother me. In the meantime, keep an eye out for a kid that doesn't have a big brother hovering. And don't be too worried if we're microchipped somewhere we can't get to without more sophisticated surgical equipment.
[If Zack's going to be a dick, House is happy to toss out something that will up his paranoia.]
[If Zack's going to be a dick, House is happy to toss out something that will up his paranoia.]
They might be better off that way. [ Is there a smile in his voice? Possibly. At this point, Zack's not adverse to his potential for dickery. And seeing as he's in a dick mood, well. Sorry, House, but this time? It's not in the cards. And may be more than all the reason why he's ignoring that comment about sophisticated surgery. ]
Anyway, I'll keep an eye out for that kid. [ And likely keep him away from "Stud" if he can. ] See ya. [ Only not.
Click. ]

[she worked hard to dredge up the energy to reach out to him, so she hopes he'll actually answer instead of just hanging up again like the morning before.]
[of course, a very loud part of her just wants to ignore him, but the rest of her insists that he can't get away with insulting her and then just hanging up. Plus, there was something odd about his voice, at the end...]
...Doctor.
[she keeps her voice steady. Controlled. Careful.]
...If you're there, we should talk.

[There's a long silence where House considers not answering. He doesn't particularly want to talk with her, especially given how crowded the shed is. But this is one point where he does actually feel some obligation.]
text
the room's crowded, fuzzball
what do you want?
[Well, he's not required to be any politer than normal.]

[she snorts at his reply, but bites her tongue and taps at her screen to swap out of audio mode. She selects her old pal voice-to-text mode, a feature that has saved her steampunk furry ass from endless frustration and typing accidents since day 1.]
What do you think I want?
I want to know why you stopped talking so suddenly, yesterday. Not that I was eager for more of your cruelty. And I'm certainly not now, either. But you can't put a person through that and just leave.
And you left without a last stupid, parting shot, too. That isn't like you.
[guess who's been eavesdropping on some of your other convos, House. Hint: she has whiskers and is mad at you.]

i thought "shit" was cogent and pithy
everybody's a critic, though
even lab rats
[Ugh. He doesn't do the talk about your feelings thing. This was annoying enough last night having Clayton witness his panic attack. And it's annoying every time Wilson and the rest of them try to get him to do it.]
i stopped because you're real

[she makes a face at "lab rat". She only understands one of those words, but it's an insulting one, so that's all it takes.]
[sorry, House; she really doesn't appreciate how huge a leap it is to accept the existence of the package deal of impossibility that is Norfinbury and its inhabitants, and her in particular.]
So we can finally agree that I'm not make-believe. Thank you.
If having a look at my teeth was what would truly convince you, you should have said so from the start. Would have saved me a lot of talking.

you're SO welcome
great chat
and it wasn't your teeth
it was your gullet
i've worked with enough rats to know a real one's mouth when i see it
so what are you exactly?
burmecian
are you some kind of experiment?

Of course not. I was born like anyone else, not made. Burns mace is what my people are called, after our kingdom.
[autocorrect is one drawback of voice-to-text, and she notices the mistake only after the message is sent. She follows up quickly:]
Oh for goodness' sake. Burmecian, you stupid machine. Not you, doctor; the tablet.
Anyway. We might look like rats, but we very much aren't. It's impolite to call us that.

oh, golly!
you know me too well
i worry SO much about being impolite
now i just feel like an awful person
what am i going to do with myself???
oh, right, tell you that if you look like a rat
have a gullet like a rat
and i'm guessing skitter like a rat
you're probably descended from rats
really fancy rat, though
digging the whole "headfur" thing going on
do you condition or is it naturally that shiny?
also, just a heads up, most experiments for cloning and genetic manipulation require a womb
made AND born
what a concept

["shiny"? She pulls a section of her hair in front of her eyes to scrutinize it, wondering if this shampoo she's been using has actually helped, but lets go almost immediately, frustrated with herself. Stay on target, Crescent. Don't let him get inside your head.]
We don't have experiments like that where I'm from. Which I'm glad I can say, because that sounds disgusting.
I may be distant kin with rats, but I'd still rather you didn't call me one. Is it so hard to see why? For instance, you look a bit like a naked monkey, but I'm not going around calling you or the other humans that.
[after a moment, she adds:]
And I don't skitter.

give me a hardwood floor, some mouse traps, and your bare feet
fifty bucks says you skitter
and it's totally disgusting
some people even say it's unethical
but they're the crazies who throw red paint on fur coats
and break into cosmetics labs to set all the animals free
nobody listens to them
also if you're going to go for the insult
go for our actual ancestors
apes
sorry, no tails
i'm guessing you have one, though
show it to me on the vid
[Why, yes. He is going to just start demanding to see your rodent anatomy now, Freya. He didn't call you rat there. That totally makes you friends, right?]

[well that sure is a column of baffling and insulting garbage. She leaves House sitting in suspense for a few minutes as she reads it through a few times and decides how to tackle it.]
One. That's very specific, and it's ridiculous. No.
Two. I haven't the slightest idea what red paint or cosmetics have to do with animal experimentation, but at least we've finally agreed on something.
Three. Monkeys, apes; what's the difference? And I will absolutely not show you my tail. You asked for text, so that's what you've got.
Before you called me an experiment, you called me something else: "another kin"? I can't remember. Tell me what you meant.
[she sends that, then quickly sends a follow-up:]

what if i said "please" with puppy eyes?
not like the actual eyes of a puppy
mainly because i don't have one right now
are there puppy people where you're from?
two
peta
it's a good thing you don't have them in your world
though they'd probably tell you they're an "ally"
three
different suborders on the family tree
and tit for tat
i'll tell you what "otherkin" are if you show me your tail
