you want the facts
i'll hand 'em out
you want my opinions
that'll cost

[redrooms]

Really? That's an interesting system. You don't seem too fond of them.

[rubikscomplex]

i'm not fond of anyone
saves time

[redrooms]

"Doctor" is an interesting career choice for a misanthropist.

[rubikscomplex]

i like puzzles

[redrooms]

You aren't a GP, you said.

[rubikscomplex]

nephrology and infectious disease
head of diagnostics

[redrooms]

[Impressive. She files that away, along with the fact that a bunch of people on this post don't seem to like him very much.]

What should I call you? Gregory? Greg? Dr. House?

[rubikscomplex]

house
and what should i call you when it's not spidergirl?

[redrooms]

Natasha. It's a pleasure, House.

[rubikscomplex]

preeeeetty sure you'll change your mind about that in a few days
but okay
pleasure

[redrooms]

Is that what you'd prefer?

[rubikscomplex]

no preference either way
it's just what'll happen
unless you're one of them weirdos who thinks this is charming

[redrooms]

You've been helpful. I appreciate it.

[That's something.]

[rubikscomplex]

i liked your username
spiders are cool

[redrooms]

You have good taste.

[rubikscomplex]

some would disagree
you wanna show me your face
i'll tell you what i think about rogers and elric

[redrooms]

Show me yours and I'll show you mine.

[It's teasing, but half serious.]

[rubikscomplex]

oh, i've been here three months, babe
you don't wanna see me

[redrooms]

That only piques my curiosity more.

[rubikscomplex]

if you're more curious
that just means i get to up my price

[He switches to Russian. He has some minor grammar issues, but is otherwise fluent.]

a look at your face and tell me how you know rogers or elric
because you know one of them
and just a heads up
solomons can speak russian
you want it private from him, at least
you're gonna need a private filter

video; private

[Ah, well. Suspicion and pointed questions are more like what she's used to, so she switches to video. She's got her standard issue coat on over her catsuit, so she looks like a normal young woman with shoulder length red hair. She'll respond in Russian, too, her voice smooth and calm. He might find it interesting that she doesn't have an accent in either Russian or English.]

Steve Rogers and I have worked together in the past. I don't know Elric.

[She's hot. House runs the comb he has through his shaggy hair a few times, just to look marginally more presentable. She'll see a gaunt older man, scruffy with dark rings around his eyes. He offers her a smirk and a shrug. His own accent in Russian is American. It's not too bad, though, and his spoken language is better than his written.]

How far in the past because I doubt he remembers who you are right now unless you knew him before World War II. His girlfriend is here and he doesn't even remember her. Carter, if you're familiar.

[redrooms]

[Sharon is here. Good. That's something. And... she absolutely did know Steve during World War II, but hey. Details. It's strange that Steve wouldn't remember Sharon, though, and that just puts her further on edge.]

We worked together after. Steve has been around for a long time.

[rubikscomplex]

So I hear. He's used to getting put on ice.

You're the one who knows him, so what do you want to know? He's been very patriotic and noble since he arrived. Took up manhunts against murderers and kidnappers. An all around American hero.

[His tone is just about dripping with sarcasm.]

Seriously, he's too good. Literally too good. It's irritating.
