[Sometime late after lockdown, closer to the morning of 203, Quark sends out his distress call. After everything that everyone's gone through, Quark cuts to the chase.]
I think I'm going to need your help.
[He just hopes that House is in the position to give it.]

[Unfortunately, he's really not. But House does respond when he finally finds another tablet.]
tablet exploded
hurts to talk
what happened to you?

[Fortunately, Quark's stubborn determination not to be seen as weak helps him stay patient as he waits for a reply. At least the eventual response quells the fear that he's about to see House's name on the next obituary posting.]
Hurts to see.
[Otherwise he'd be using text, too.]
The thing I ran into made...I don't know, something happen to my eyes. It feels like there are flashlights being shone into them.
[Searing hot flashlights.]

jesus christ
what happens when you close your eyes?
do you still see the light?

Yeah. And everything outside of the lights is blurry and watery when they're open.
[He breathes shakily as he wipes water from his cheeks, squinting as he tests his vision.]
I thought I'd be back to normal by now.

[Partial blinding. House's thoughts go immediately to his experiences in the morgue and acute MN Poisoning that had made his eyes bleed before his death.]
might take longer
pretty sure all of us got a hell of a dose of mn poisoning from whatever anomalies turned up
in the meantime
i've got eyedrops i can give you to ease the pain
where are you?

[Eyedrops sound fantastic. Not as fantastic as having his vision back, but, you know, beggars can't be choosers.]
I just left the Pass and I'm back in the east side of the residential area. I called Charles to help me get around, so I'm with him.
[No matter how you look at it, it didn't seem smart to stumble around alone for too long.]

i'm at the school shed
planning to head to building 80 just north of the ice tunnels, then east
i can meet up with you somewhere along the way
any chance you recorded what you saw?

xx6 xx4 and yy4 are all empty save for normal ruined city crap

god fucking damnit house
if youre dead too i swear i
i dont even know
but ecks wont answer clint either and you still havent answered me so what other guess is there
youre a death magnet
youre going to beat out the dream bubbles at this rate
fyi thats the afterlife where im from and its full of dead alternate timeline versions of everybody
or so ive heard
i havent seen them because sprite stuff and i havent died back in my world
but they physically exist and arent some fluffy religious heaven floating off beyond the clouds
but how many dead houses do we need around here
couldnt you have waited for any other day
what even happened this time
i half have to hope it was something like getting locked out on accident or an anomaly grabbing you by chance and not another fucking suicide experiment
i know dying doesnt mean anything to you here
and i know the stuff you said that i accidentally ordered out of you
which im not repeating and not telling anyone i swear to the last hope that any of us might survive this place
but i just dont want you dead house
even if youre a cantankerous old jackass who acts like he hates everyone
and maybe you actually do on some level what do i know
just dont be dead
not permanently
please

[He only responds to this once he's contacted Ecks... or failed to contact her, and once he contacted Strange. House reads over it a few times, and the horrible, wrenching feeling of guilt in his gut only magnifies.]
it wasn't an experiment
the joker murdered us
be careful if you're around the school

[Davesprite has to stop and stare for a long stretch once he gets this message. Today's been rough already. Contact people, deal with Bucky, help Clint, help Lucky, travel, snap at Sherlock, needle Alfie, talk to Watson. There's points among those that would be bad enough: Bucky missing memories, Sherlock inviting suicide, Watson detached after five years and what he's taken to mean temporal doom. On top of it all, Natasha hasn't given any sign of revival. He's emotionally exhausted.]
[House is alive again, but there's only so much good news to it. Maybe he should count it a victory that his message didn't come with something snarky and callous tacked on.]
were not and we arent headed that way
ive never even spoken to the joker and dont plan to
is your loss anything i need to watch out for this time

[Right. Stupid. He was giving info on the new area. House gives himself a mental shake.]
tell a friend, then
no idea who's in the area
i'm just deaf
as long as you don't start trying to use audio
we're fine

i know someone whos around there
ill check in
[He'll just keel over and lay on the floor for a day if Karkat's dead too. (Or maybe not. The floor in this storage unit has some unnerving bloodstains.) For now, he's just going to be glad the admin went easy on House. Maybe because he was murdered this time? He doesn't know how it works.]
you know i prefer text anyway
you want another map update or should i save it for when youve got your bearings better
its nothing too important so it can wait if you want

That sounds great. We'll head west, then. Thanks.
[He sighs, disappointed that he can't give House a better answer.]
No. Once the thing saw me, it was like I couldn't do anything but stare back. I was stuck. Did you try recording what came after you?

you're refusing to use a tool because you're afraid of it?
that's like saying you won't use nails because a few went through your feet and you caught tetanus
a nails still a freaking nail
it'll do the job we want
