right only the ark's important i'll let you know if i see it around send more vids i'll do the same heading downtown we'll be able to cover more ground
[Well, that gets an honest to goodness smile of amusement. Too bad no one is around to see it... except maybe the spiders. House just smirks as he reads through the 'report,' snorting when he gets to the fake cat and lightning bolts.]
grade: b- future reports should:
include photographic and/or video evidence of objects used, method, and setting as an appendix
include date and time of various experiments
include atmospheric conditions (e.g., approximate temperature and weather) at the time of the experiment
[Alright, so she knows what she did that was not up to standards. Does this indicate that the experiments were entirely unsatisfactory? Only one way to find out: request clarification.]
What is the significance of "b-"?
Are time and atmospheric conditions likely to affect outcomes?
grading scale: a, b, c, d, f a - perfect b - above average c - average d - below average f - you suck
minuses and pluses are the between grades
b- - above average but only just
atmospheric conditions might absolutely if you're working with static electricity try running those experiments in the middle of a thunderstorm the air will already be charged more likely to get your sparks time might this place is weird certain things sometimes happen at certain times might affect your experiment it's also just good practice
Dug them there, too. Still made the house creak some times. The house is going to wind up in the hole some day. Thinking of letting Cap know so he can include it in his updates.
[It's a petulant thing to say, but there is an odd distance to her voice.]
You're a liar. I know because I am one, too. Did you know the videos could have been fake too? I don't know what I believe now. What did the devil me say?
I just said go read it, kid. You don't have to believe me. Half the messages from the other night disappeared or changed completely. I wasn't taking notes, but you were spewing some crap about 'secrets' you had.
Something about Brian not being real and Epps being a spy. The snail fan eating human souls.
[Yeah, he's just going to gloss over what she said about him.]
[It takes a long moment for House to actually reply because he's struck with an idea.]
that's probably a good idea rally our fearless "leader" you actually trust that guy? team america? open your eyes, z-man, he's just getting off on playing hero know the type not that you're much better obviously
can't expect too much out of you, though kids these days they think they know everything have to let you know about it, too even when they're just being stupid
how do you think: "oh, this unstable structure? uh-huh sure gonna dig around the walls before i go for the middle sure is a great idea"
even if you dug in the middle, you shouldn't have been digging at the edges don't do that again, idiot or do what do i know? nothing, apparently
[If this sudden rant seems... nonsensical, Zell may want to consider what House has just said about the Admin reading their communications. And also take a look at the first letter of each line.]
I know they did, I went and saw. But I don't know if I believe they just disappeared. Someone's made them and someone's taken them away. And someone might've used an excuse and taken away some other things too.
[Why simply let him off the hook? She knows that there are lies hovering all over the city. And the things he might have, might not have said to her...]
And you said that I was defective and that people are going to catch on it soon enough. What kind of crap was that?
[His tone is edging toward irritated now. He doesn't have any particular incentive to deal with her whining beyond what's absolutely necessary. When she's willfully ignoring the facts of the matter, that's just annoying.]
Are you defective? I've never even seen you in action. Got a limp, kid? Maybe glitch me was projecting.
