[Fuck.
Well, he can't just order the same thing in pieces, even the admin is probably not that stupid and his own prescriptions may be held at ransom now.]
Prescribe Ritalin to-- [If you ever use me to get your fix again...] --John Watson.
[It has to be John. They likely won't approve prescriptions for him for a while, and he's not travelling with anyone else. The medication does him no good if it shows up in a house far across the map for another person.]

[There's a cruel smirk on House's lips as he sends the next denial.]
you shot yourself in the foot, kid
first rule for addicts:
don't get greedy
and thanks for probably getting my prescription rights revoked, genius
[Probably not, but House is allowed to lie right now. Although there's a twist in his gut when he does.]

You're an idiot.
[For someone supposedly good at diagnosis, he really can't tell the difference between greed and desperation.]
I doubt your prescription status has been revoked, especially since it hasn't been all these months after discovering you were an addict.
Try once more. Prescribe bupropion in a therapeutic level dose to "William". [Surely this will work, he's seen (and stolen) a presciption for "Jay" before.] Rolling repeat. Do not in any way communicate to the Admin that you have been ordered to do this or that you don't want to.

you're not self-aware
something happened to make you desperate
and in spite of the fact that you've got at least four bottles of high-grade prescription narcotics
you got greedy
saving up for a rainy day, holmes?
what happened?
the boyfriend kick it?
was he eaten by an anomaly
boo hoo!
[He gets a reply from the ADMIN almost immediately this time and adds:]
and what do you know?
big sister's watching
[House sends Sherlock the ADMIN's reply.]

I observed your dilemma on the public network three days ago, and I just wanted to check in to make certain you aren't still standing in the hospital trying to decide how to live your life.
I assume someone eager to take advantage of the situation found you first privately.

someone
unlike you, right?
[A number of someones, actually.]
why do you care?

I'm in the area, and I would hate to leave you to toil alone.
[By 'in the area', he means he's in the hospital with a certain someone House probably would be interested in seeing.]

i'm sure
what do you want, pierce?
i can't be ordered around anymore
just fyi
[It's a bald-faced lie, but he's not under orders any longer to tell the truth. Technically, given Steph's superseding order. But it still makes him uncomfortable to do with Brian's order in the back of his mind.]

I'm glad to hear the effects are so short-lived. [He also doesn't believe you.]
You can't. Someone else we both know can.
You can't. Someone else we both know can.
[Oh, Christ. He needs to respond to that, but fear momentarily cuts him off. House replies eventually with practiced nonchalance.]
sucks to be him
what are you planning to do?
have him carry your things?

Something far worse. I take it you aren't in the area then.
[Fuck.]
nope
[He is.]
sorry, bro
have fun being an evil nazi, tho

Why are you afraid of me, Dr. House?
Also, I'm on the third floor of the Hospital. If you're in the building and are fit enough to travel, come and find me assuming you have no order limiting your movements.
[Sorry, he's testing a theory. He's not actually sorry though.]

i'm not afraid of you
and i'm not in the hospital right now
i just told you that
[That's true enough, at least. He's just north of the ice tunnels. He could be back there in a day or two at most.]

Aren't you? That's curious.
And where are you off to, Doctor? I could use some medical assistance at your earliest convenience.

[Oh, god, don't give him a choice. Even just a rhetorical one. It takes over a minute before House just copy/pastes what he wrote before and tries very hard not to dwell.]
i'm not afraid of you
it's none of your business
and i don't do clinic
talk to watson or temple if you want someone to play doctor

So you typed previously. Why?
Neither of those individuals are close to my location. You are.

why am i not afraid of you?
gee
maybe because i'm pretty sure i can take you
i told you i'm not nearby
gee
maybe because i'm pretty sure i can take you
i told you i'm not nearby
And I am positive you can't. Would you like a demonstration?
Are you lying?
Are you lying?
[Again, the questions posed offer a choice, and House is mentally paralyzed, fingers hovering over his tablet screen. He doesn't reply again for over a minute. He can lie again. He needs to lie again.]
i don't know
[God damn it.]
i don't know
[God damn it.]
[Well, he's at least confirmed that House at least is affected in some way to that oddity from before. He still has no reason to take advantage of it just yet.]
Good. That's good, Doctor. I don't want our relationship based on lies. I feel like I can level with you as an intellectual after all.
[He's specifically targeting one avenue of conversation. He's also making it clear he's not ordering anymore on purpose.]

[Stroking his intellectual ego tends to work well, but House isn't so desperate for approval that it does much to warm him to the other man. He recognizes a strategy when he sees it, he just doesn't know what it is, yet. The fact that Pierce doesn't follow up and press him to make a choice on whether he wants a demonstration lifts a bit of a weight from his mind.]
everybody lies
especially intellectuals

[Oh, this is very good; he's pleased that House brought this up so soon. He has been aiming a bit for this, but he had thought it would take longer. House was such a wonderfully jaded man with clear daddy issues.]
Why don't you and I break that mold with each other then, Dr. House? Don't answer now as you aren't capable of making a decision on the matter, but think on it all the same.
