[But he gets the point. House is a dick no matter what the cause.]
so things stand as points 1 and 2 plus 3 for no rumors are you willing to do now and later with this you give me half the info now as a show of good faith i show you the blood and the rest after
what i know is from a couple of other guys from his world who're dead he was supposedly attacked and mindscrewed by something called the operator i'm sorry the ⨂perator if you see any of those stupid x's through o's or 0's, they're because of him anyway this thing is basically some sort of monster that chases people around and turns them into slaves looking for something called "the ark" which is supposed to have the answers to life, the universe, and everything
i tried telling him it was 42 but he's apparently not a douglas adams fan
anywho he's obsessed with the ark hates people who call him sick even though he has seizures and coughs up blood on the regular and is completely non-verbal
he's also got a hateboner on for a guy named alex who murdered another one of his friends so he wants to murder this guy who apparently was the one who brought the operator down on everyone's head in the first place
[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
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...]
no subject
someone has daddy and/or mommy issues
no subject
[But he gets the point. House is a dick no matter what the cause.]
so things stand as points 1 and 2
plus 3 for no rumors
are you willing to do now and later with this
you give me half the info now as a show of good faith
i show you the blood
and the rest after
no subject
you want slenderman or trust first?
no subject
that way i know exactly how freaked out to be about why she trusts him
no subject
what i know is from a couple of other guys from his world who're dead
he was supposedly attacked and mindscrewed by something called the operator
i'm sorry
the ⨂perator
if you see any of those stupid x's through o's or 0's, they're because of him
anyway
this thing is basically some sort of monster that chases people around and turns them into slaves looking for something called "the ark"
which is supposed to have the answers
to life, the universe, and everything
i tried telling him it was 42
but he's apparently not a douglas adams fan
anywho
he's obsessed with the ark
hates people who call him sick
even though he has seizures and coughs up blood on the regular
and is completely non-verbal
he's also got a hateboner on for a guy named alex
who murdered another one of his friends
so he wants to murder this guy
who apparently was the one who brought the operator down on everyone's head in the first place
no subject
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
[A pause, then—]
so
blood now right
you ready

cw: casual flippany re: mental health issues
i'd like to get that under a scope
[And maybe some of the rest of you, buddy.]
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

no subject
he's a weirdo, kid
and so is she
she got up some other guy's ass for stealing my meds as a punishment
like way more than i did
maybe it's the dog in her making her yappy if she wasn't like this before
no subject
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
no subject
right
welp
that's the 4-1-1, kid
you try to break them up
good luck not getting murdered
and losing your pet dog
[This is House's version of advice to leave it alone, Davesprite. He was would rather you not get hurt or whatever. Not that he'd say as much.]
no subject
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.

[He'll figure something out.]
no subject
talk to watson if you need that
goodnight
[It's as much of a dismissal as anything else.]
