[network] @frfujimoto; evening 94 [video]

[lionson]

[He was originally going to post this in the morning, but he decided to give everyone a full day to cool off from the argument before saying anything. It also gave him more time to think about what needed to be said.

So that evening, not long after the doors close for the night, a video from Shiro goes up.]

Did everyone have time to cool their heels a bit? I hope so, because we need clear minds to discuss something important.

That whole mess, with the drugs and the stealing and the dying? That's exactly the kind of thing we do NOT need to waste time on. I'm not even going to go into the details of just how much time and effort we lost because half-a-dozen of you decided that getting back at one-another was more important than finding a way out of here. Just know that I am using my 'disappointed voice' just for you, because of it.

[Which he is. He so is. He's a father in many ways, he has perfected that guilt trip.]

But we're going to put that in the past now, and move forward from here. And in moving forward, I think we need to all agree on a few baseline rules, to keep this kind of thing from happening again. We don't need a whole constitution and laws and shit, but just a few guidelines to keep things running smoothly.

I, personally, am a fan of 'no stealing', 'no killing', and 'don't be an asshole with the limited resources'. Any thoughts?

Oh, please. Do you think this kind of back and forth moral banter is what I do for a hobby? The one thing I want is to be left alone to do my work in peace, and yet somehow that is the one thing that never happens. So stop assuming this whole fiasco was somehow a highlight of my week. And if you have to entertain any delusions about keeping the children here innocent, start by considering whether this end is served by letting them come to trust and respect Greg House, of all people.

[Crap, got him talking.]

[rattlingthestars]

I'm sorry, was someone holding a pistol to your head and making you talk to the little annoying humans?

Nobody here's innocent, and doing what you did to an adult would be just as crappy.

[bookofnope]

I see at least one little annoying human proving my point to me as we speak. Have you slipped Zell's leash today? He was making such good progress with balancing out some poor first impressions.

[rattlingthestars]

Don't bring Zell into this.

[ Actually, Jim's squinting at the tablet and trying to figure out what Zell's told Beckett, from that comment. Zell, why. ]

You're the one who started talking to me, anyway, Bitey.

[bookofnope]

Considering it was Zell who gave me this strange idea that you might be worth talking to after all, I may have to reevaluate my estimate of his good judgement yet again.

[rattlingthestars]

Zell's not the best judge of character sometimes. He keeps giving terrible people a chance.

[bookofnope]

Oh look, we've in perfect agreement. Ah well, perhaps some day he and Kain will be tired of playing babysitters and find more productive ways to spend their time, after all.

[rattlingthestars]

Never gonna happen.

[swatsflies]

I'm not playing babysitter.
If anything, it's the opposite. He's the one that keeps me in line.
I like where I spend my time just fine.

[swatsflies]

[Just going to be giving Jim a kicked puppy frown.

:( :( :(]
