[network][Day 138|video|@hotstud_xxx] You Get What You Need [open]

[There's no pithy commentary from House as is more common for the introductions to one of his piano sessions. It's also on video at the moment because House... can't figure out how to change it to just audio. He really hates this particular effect. So, anyone in Snowhell who has yet to actually see Dr. Hotstud House will get a view of him. He's a haggard, middle-aged man who's looking closer to just plain 'aged' after more than three months in Norfinbury. He has the tablet propped up where the sheet music would usually go, and keeps his eyes down or closed as he begins to play. He mouths some of the words, brows furrowed and body swaying to the music.

He runs through that. And then, because he's not going to be able to play and 'talk' to people at the same time, he moves into another tune before stopping and checking for responses.]

You wouldn't've saved a lot of the music I know.

[Oh, it's... it's England. This is a little awkward, but that's okay.]

D'you like the Kinks, then? Any favorite bands?

Probably not. B-but if you wanted to teach me a song or two...

We're having a sing-a-long here; take a look.

[Hey, whatever. Sometimes it's nice to remember the pleasant parts of her childhood, the parts not touched by the Red Room, so Natasha will try one softly, in Russian:]

Sleep, good boy, my beautiful,
Bayushki bayu
Quietly the moon is looking
Into your cradle.
I will tell you fairy tales
And sing you little songs,
But you must slumber, with your little eyes closed,
Bayushki bayu.

Yeah. I know that one.

[Hearing it makes him a little homesick.]

God, if he doesn't sing it, I'm leaving tomorrow morning and never talking to him again.

[Watson please.]

Naturally! I'm rather fond of rock.

[There's genuine enthusiasm in his voice, which is rare and even a little weird when it comes to England.] You could probably guess a few of my favourites. They didn't call it the British Invasion for nothing, after all.

Sometimes. I could definitely use it here.

What? You're lying. When?

And she's welcome to travel with me, Dr. Watson.

Do you have Russian family?

Blackmail? Really? You're gonna make me sing Spice Girls. You've got to sing it with me if I'm doing this, Fiona.

[If they go down, they go down together.]

Yeah, my mum's Russian. Her and her family.

Are you surprised?

[Come on, John.]

Sure, though. You start.

Think we all could, the past few months we've been having. I find anything, I'll let you know, all right?

You gonna join me?

Go on and give us you're favorite out of the Beatles, then, yeah?

[Join in the music, England. He's a little curious what the man might pick.]

Did you all leave together, then, or is she still there?

I've never been. She came to England before I was born. Fell in love, had us kids.

[Fell in love with a gangster, and then the kids became gangsters. What a heartwarming tale.]

[He really can't believe he's doing this. They need to get downtown and find the liquor store.]

You better join in.

If you want my future, forget my past
If you wanna get with me, better make it fast
Now don't go wasting my precious time
Get your act together we could be just fine

[Well, being a Jew in Russia, especially during World War II, isn't the best fate. Being in Russia at all in his future isn't, so Natasha is glad in a way.]

London is beautiful. It was a good choice.

[Not that much of Europe escaped the war unscathed, but hey. There's no way she's going to talk about it.]

[She is absolutely not joining in, not yet, but she is giving him a shit-eating grin.]

I'll tell you what I want, what I really, really want

[And he's raising his brows at you, Fiona, because this is a call and response section. Get in on it. Girl.]

Now and again. I haven't been keeping a tape recorder handy or keeping a tally. It's there, though. Keep an ear out for it.

[It might not be there, but he wants to tease her.]
