[And this is exactly why he asked. It certainly puts shit in perspective, and answers a few other questions besides. He takes a moment just to rub at the bridge of his nose and try to absorb it all. It helps to know he wasn't wrong for being suspicious.]
so that budges the freakout meter up a few ticks answers what the heck those slashy os ive seen were too and the ark and why ive seen him pop pills a couple times glad im keeping my distance tonight jade already said that operator thing is like a horrorterror and a first guardian combined which if she hasnt explained is like horrorterrors are giant space calamari beyond mortal comprehension living on the edge of reality and first guardians are omnipotent things that are supposed to be for protecting a planet but whose powers can be drastically misused if put in the wrong hands which is something weve seen up close and personal just to add that extra take on how fucked up this is
[It doesn't come immediately. Davesprite's never really liked bleeding, seen enough of it in his life as it is, and likes even less the idea of causing it on purpose. And it's small, sure; all he needs to do is nick himself. He doesn't have a knife or needle, but the nails on his hands are talon-ish enough for the job. It just... takes a moment, to steel himself and do it.]
[When the video turns on, the view is of his forearm, near the elbow. He's given himself a small scratch and the blood wells from it clearly.]
[It's bright yellow, part from the color itself, part from its faint glow.]
so the rest of it? they talked when she first arrived i assume they met up at some point by chance she wanted a project he's a hell of a project she's decided to tame him or something teach him how to be friends and have emotions
it's touching, really like a pomeranian with a tiger
[Can you read the sarcasm.]
she's got some kinda thing for defending physically and mentally ill people probably because she's got some disorder, too, at a guess you'd know better than i would if you're besties or were dating or something
[Not likely, House. In the meanwhile, Davesprite tends his scratch, glad for the paper towels he found earlier to make it easier, then puts his coat back on. It's cold at night even indoors, and he's not about to form a cuddle pile with his fellow travelers.]
[But the things House says...]
jades fine she just had a weird upbringing but i dont think youre wrong about the rest i was talking to her about the recording thing he does acted like i was the unfair one for calling it weird because hes mentally ill and needs accommodations or whatever apply air quotes as needed
[It sure puts some perspective on things between them, though. If he wasn't a project to take on, then who is?]
no its not the dog thing shes been part dog for three years and ive known her for longer but shes from a different timeline where some not so great stuff happened maybe thats it
I am in Hsiao▓▓▓▓▓▓ but I cannot come further in because I cannot see ▓▓▓▓▓▓. I waited a day but I still cannot ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓. If I wait more I will have to eat all of the food that I brought ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ leaving food in the cabinets in this house and going ▓▓▓▓▓▓ more food instead. If you can get out of the tunnels there is food in the house.
ive been up against worse if i need someone to stitch a wing back on again ill let you know
[It's easier to be flippant than to say how actually concerned he is. He's going to need to think on how to do this, and until then he'll have to not raise Brian's suspicions. After his fuss the night before about the camera, it might be better if he keeps it calm for now. Act natural. Keep his space, still, but...]
▓hanks, bro i'm not actu▓▓▓▓▓▓d but thanks and i'm function▓▓g still if you can't do anything else then kee▓ heading ▓▓ward the cent▓▓ it's where the answers suppose▓ly are maybe it's the ark
Lil▓▓ blood, I hope I'm not hallucinating you. ▓▓▓ be very ▓▓barassing for the repre▓▓▓▓ation of my unhealthy fascination with puz▓▓▓▓ to ▓▓ so obnoxious.
No. It means we ▓▓▓▓▓ ▓▓▓ out of this freaking ▓▓▓nel. I'm real. ▓▓▓ said there's nev▓▓ been anyone like you ▓▓▓▓▓ you're from. If one of ▓▓ ▓▓ fake. It's you.
[How is he supposed to expand his horizons House there is only one horizon.]
Uhh... Clint Eastwood, George Clooney, Harrison Ford, Helen Mirren. [He counts them off on his fingers as he speaks. There, did it. He can say those things, yes.]
I guess that makes sense, though. So you think somebody set all this up on purpose? Like a movie set? What's the point of that if this isn't a movie?
i'm ▓▓▓▓ys nice for you, bec▓▓▓▓ like i told ecks i'm ▓▓▓▓ deal is the▓e somet▓▓▓▓▓ you actually wanted? becaus▓ it's annoying ▓▓▓▓ell talking to you ▓▓th the stat▓▓
[Charlie, you're a moron. As this is an understood constant of this universe, House skips mentioning it for the time being and just gives his tablet a Look. One that Charlie can't see given that House is using audio, but the Look is there in spirit in the brief silence.]
To test something. Maybe their fancy new gizmo that brings people here from other universes? They clearly screwed that up considering they've got all these anomalies, too.
