[ That was something that Will realized he hadn't entirely considered. He kept focusing on the missiles striking Norfinbury, with the idea that life had gone on as usual outside the town's borders.
But what if it was Norfinbury that had ended up frozen and protected.
After a moment, Will actually smiled. ]
What a kick it would be to join that struggle.

A kick in the teeth, maybe. Do you prefer the shitty Matrix or the even shittier Zion?
[ The smile broadened, but there was something gentle about it. ]
Hey, I'm going home to certain death. The odds of surviving a hundred foot cliff dive isn't high.
[ He paused and then shrugged. ]
Maybe there's a small part of me that's woken up and could enjoy a good struggle against some alien forces, rather than death.

[So, what he's hearing is you want to be alive for the fight.]
Beckett had a similar revelation, as I recall. It made him a lot less boring to talk to a while back.
[Tenacity is something House has always respected, the refusal to give up in the face of impossible odds. That is his career and his life.]
And just as long as they're actual aliens and not magical, mythical beings from Beyond the Stars.

[ Will knew that he had given up there at the end. He could try to spin it any number of ways but when it was boiled down to it's bare essence, he had given up trying to fight Hannibal, trying to fight for the ability to live without him.
It was why he saw himself as a failure, where someone like House still had his purpose and his place. ]
Hope is a dangerous emotion. You have to guard it fiercely and be prepared to face the vulnerability it brings to your life.

[House's gaze turns sharper for a moment, expression defensive.]
I'm not hopeful.
I'm not hopeful.
Of course you are. [ Will fired back, standing firm in the face of that defensive expression. ]
Not for yourself, exactly but you're hopeful for solving the puzzle.
Hope isn't sunshine and koombahyah. Like what that kid Al keeps spouting. Hope is tenacity, like what Ginger lives. It is looking at the impossible and saying 'no, you won't defeat me'.

Oh, don't start. [It's half-put-upon grumble, half-actually annoyed.]
Spite and tenacity aren't synonyms for hope. I double-checked my thesaurus the other day.

[ Will clicked his tongue and shook his head. ]
Meanie. [ It was a childish term, but he was grinning. ] Tell me to lay off, but then give me such good material.
[ But he was laying off. ]

[House will actually let the conversation lapse this time, content that they're not ending on an uncomfortably awkward note.]
Hey. How're those ribs holding up?
[ if he's figured out that was you he's beat up it's only through Will by proxy. ]
So. Any chance you know what @funyarinpa/Tenmyouji looks like? You've texted with him.
[ THE SMOOTHEST, MOST INCONSPICUOUS CALL IN HISTORY OF EVER? ]

[Oh, it's you. The guy who attacked him.]
oh, him?
yeah
met him when he first turned up
he's some ridiculous anime/manga-looking guy
silver hair
spectacles
6 foot-something and skinny but weirdly ripped
he's also got this stitching all over his face like ecks
why?
looking for someone tall, white, and gruesome to match you?

[ The guy who stopped attacking you, thank you very much! ]
[ Okay so Graham helped a little. ]
Yes
Also that's a load of bullshit
[ he was actually sort of buying it for a good while there but by the time he got to "like ecks" he suddenly realized that just sounds like hodgepodge of a bunch of other residents ]
Do you or don't you?

there was another version of him here
[He sends over a capture of Stein from one of his videos.]
i wish i could make you special snowflakes up

[ well. that. sure is a guy he hasn't seen around? (he probably didn't browse the network back far enough to get a name with this face, so whoops. kind of buying it. again.) ]
The fuck
[ so Squalo thinks he looks perfectly normal, especially compared to this guy. figures. ]
Alright, do you know where he is?

[ Ah, there it is. He was wondering when House would try to bargain for information. ]
What did you get out of showing me the picture?
Don't tell me that was gratitude for not squishing your head like a grape
That's reasonable but it ain't like you

i'm getting a viable target on someone else's back
that was the teaser to get you hungry
you want more than that
you gotta pay

[ that...........sounds kinda reasonable ]
what do you want
[ he's feeling agreeable, okay. he really does want this information ]
[ for uh ]
[ reasons ]

[What does he want? That's the real question. House confers with Will briefly for ideas before responding.]
one no-questions-asked, drop-everything favor
may be cashed in for fetch quests or murder

sounds good
[ isn't it a LITTLE worrying how quick that response comes ]
but: you will only get it if your information proves correct
[ you might have him mostly fooled for the moment but also he knows to take precautions, bub. especially after how spectacularly you loopholed that no internet for five days bet ]

a caveat to your caveat:
you take more than a week to get to him
that's not my problem if the info's no good at that point
and you still owe me that favor
deal?

deal?
i'll answer that once i've crosschecked your info
do you actually have anything more solid than "zone three" because he announced as much himself
[ he's also getting responses from the other people he attempted contacting so it might be wise not to run headfirst into a deal if he can get the same shit for free, right ]
(( ooc: WELP apparently there was more information publicly available than i thought :x let's say he's trying to save himself some work with this... i kinda don't want to retcon this bc it's hilarious ))

Dr. House, Will is threatening to commit suicide by locking himself outside after lock down. Please, watch over him.
