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

[rubikscomplex]

[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.]

What's a Touch-Me?

[deus_ex_phs]

[Kunsel pauses.]

You don't have those?

[Well, different worlds. It's just odd sometimes to think that well known pests in his world don't even exist in someone else's world.]

They're a type of frog. They have a type of magic that can turn people into frogs temporarily with just a touch, and they can knock you out, too, if they sing. They're not that dangerous, but they can be pretty obnoxious.

[devoutish]

[... What.]

No. We do not have anything like those, no.

If it's magic, we don't have it.

[deus_ex_phs]

[Kunsel absorbs that for a moment. He's been here long enough, and talked to enough people, not to be shocked at the idea of a world without magic, but it's still odd to think about.]

You're world's like this one, then. No magic at all?

Still, you can probably imagine how well it would go over with a sergeant if a trainee tried to pull a prank like that.

[devoutish]

[His world is nothing like this one, in his mind.]

Yeah. Saw a bit of that myself.

[deus_ex_phs]

[Kunsel really only meant this specific comparison anyway.]

I suppose trainees pulling stupid stunts is universal.

[Much like soldier songs.]
