@godsend, text, Day 181

[termineur]

We were finally heading up to building 15 and this happens.

Hope you're hanging in there, House. I'm not sure if you'd be interested in this or not, but I have videos of a few affected people that I took last night. I thought it might give us insight on what happened. I noticed that every time someone attacked me, the video glitched and distorted.

ain't that always the way it goes?

i'll take the vids
i'm guessing you got the standard "you're all horrible sinners trying to destroy everything" line from the ones you met with

[termineur]

Yep. Some people tried to fight it, but that was less prevalent as the night went on.

-Video #2
-Video #3

[Well, he's learning some interesting things about people, if nothing else. Holmes and Watson know about Sylar, then. Not unexpected, although he's a little surprised Watson can keep that under his hat.]

might wanna hold off sharing some of those with the wider public
unless you wanna out yourself
zane

[termineur]

[ He figured House might like the extra info that came with the videos. ]

Oh yeah? Hadn't thought of that.

I'm not planning on posting them to the network. But Zane's only got so much longer, I figure. He's past his expiration date.

what lovely matching icons

[rubikscomplex]

too many people figuring you out?
i feel a lot less speshul now

how far apart were those vids taken?
the only ones i met who were resisting were early on
and ones who like me for whatever reason

so much leaning chins on hands

[termineur]

I told Sherlock before he figured it out and offhandedly mentioned it to the entire network. So of course, he told Watson. And I suspect Watson is slowly telling everyone. So really, I did this to myself.

The first three are all within the first two hours. Funny how easy it was to make it across the whole town. I also met up with Al in that time, but I didn't record him. An hour after that, I escaped from some idiot with an assault rifle. He seemed a little too serious for me to film. Sherlock found me an hour and a half after that.

So yeah, I'd say they were able to resist early on. But as time went on, the instinct became too 'natural' a thought for them to fight.

[There's a part of him that wants to protest that it's incredibly unfair that Sylar made House jump through hoops and then just gave it away to Holmes. That's a complaint that's not going anywhere fast, though.]

well, you know what they say about a secret between two people
the only way it stays that way is if one of them is dead

i met up with the tin can later in the night
didn't see the others around
who the hell had an assault rifle, though?
was it a toy?

[Because House didn't think people were allowed to keep weapons.]

[termineur]

That's not even true here, actually. Just expect all the secrets to get out, at one point or another.

I don't think so? It seemed like some sort of future tech. It was smarter than the guy holding it, told him to follow my footprints.

[rubikscomplex]

[Considering some of the secrets that have gotten out about him, he can't exactly disagree. Although, House has been lucky in that some of the people holding his most damning and humiliating secrets have died.]

the rifle spoke?
ai?

[termineur]

Yep, that's my guess. Why he was allowed to keep a weapon on him is beyond me. Maybe it had enough of a personality for Eve to consider it a 'person' on its own?

[rubikscomplex]

was the rifle talking about sinners and heretics, too?

[termineur]

No, it wasn't. It could be that it was just more focused than its owner, but maybe it was unaffected.

[rubikscomplex]

if the admin's treating it like a pet, maybe
need to talk to the kids with the cat
see if it was affected

[termineur]

Someone here has a cat as a pet? I assume we're not talking starcat.

[rubikscomplex]

actual cat
not a talking one
hawkins has it in his group
