No. Ive run into a handfull of others, but no one I wanted to stick around with.

[rubikscomplex]

no loss there
they're all annoying losers, anyway

[exequies]

Oh? you seem a bit prickly yourself.

[rubikscomplex]

my sort of prickly is lovable, though
not useless and moronic

[exequies]

Yes, I can see how adored you are.And why you were offering me a risque rag.

[rubikscomplex]

[Yeah, he's got nothing on the actually being lovable front.]

good for trade
it gets some guys off

[exequies]

save it for someone younger, perhaps.
Well it's not as though I care how you behave. I'm personally not here to win any popularity contests.

[And thankfully the vicodin is beginning to loosen its grip on him.]

[rubikscomplex]

good thing, too
you'd have stiff competition from the talking dog

[exequies]

Saw something about that.
Does it really talk? From its mouth and all?

[rubikscomplex]

from a collar around its neck
there's a star cat that just psychic projection talks, too
hell if i know how he's doing it
he's an asshole, though
cats

[exequies]

[It's only slightly less fantastic than he was imagining, but still amusing all the same.]

I'm more fond of dogs anyway.
Still, I'd like to run into either one of them. It'd be amusing.

[rubikscomplex]

the dog's just annoying
he sounds exactly what you'd think a talking dog would sound like

[exequies]

[He could make a joke here, but he'd be the only one who got it.]

well of course. they are simple creatures after all.

[rubikscomplex]

are you here to shoot the breeze while you're high, too?
because i've got other things i could be doing
like sleeping

[Which he's not going to be doing, either, but never you mind that.]

[exequies]

I slept already and I'm bored.

[Also apparently chatty while he's high. So that's a yes.]

[rubikscomplex]

pick something interesting to talk about, then

[exequies]

Did you know that you can alter a deceased human's brain and bring them back to life through it?

[rubikscomplex]

for a given value of life
i assume you're not wasting my time with bullshit vampire "science"

[exequies]

No vampires involved. I've seen it happen with my own eyes.

[rubikscomplex]

so you met frankenstein, too?

[exequies]

What? No... unless you mean the professor here.

[Though he hadn't heard his full name. But it wouldn't be a stretch.]

[rubikscomplex]

[House sighs to himself.]

just tell me what you saw, hot topic

[exequies]

There's a small device that can be implanted in the brain's temporal lobe. When it's stimulated with electricity, it can cause a body to move around. Walk. Even speak.

[rubikscomplex]

you're talking about animating a corpse with electrical impulses
we had a chick here who called those husks
human cyborg zombies

[exequies]

Is that so? So I suppose I'm not the first one to see that type of thing.

[Husk is such a base word for them, though, even if it's technically accurate.]
