[You know those four deaths, Wilson? Yes, well, meet one of them.]
no subject
[Joker does not look back at House as he speaks. He keeps his attention squarely on Wilson as he leans in closer.]
But he attacked me first.
no subject
Ah. Um. [What, exactly, is he supposed to do in this situation?] Well you two appear to have buried the hatchet to some degree. That's, uh, good.
no subject
Yeah. Totes. Wouldn't be surprised if he's got a hatchet somewhere. Do you, Chuckles?
no subject
[He touches the side of his head.]
Figuratively speaking. Of course.
no subject
So what brings you to these parts? [Wilson tries to discreetly direct this question to House. Give him a clue. What's the plan, here?]
no subject
[Escaping and running away places, to be precise. House knows that's a vague reference, at best, for someone who's three years ahead of him, but his cases are nothing if not memorable. And she'd died in the end. Wilson would probably remember one of the ones who died, plus reminded him of his brother. Not to mention he couldn't exactly be more overt here.]
no subject
[Joker doubles over as said cough overtakes him again. He hacks raggedly and hugs his arms around himself when he can finally sit back, grinning feverishly.
Annoying, but that was some comedic timing on the cough's part. He has to appreciate that.]
Probably is MN poisoning, Doc, but have you had the chance to examine the blood of someone this sick from it? I thought ya liked a good mystery.
[He has his doubts. If the poisoning is due to some sort of chemical secreted from the nanobots then he should be immune to it. What gives?]
no subject
Thanks, House.
Wilson shrugs nonchalantly.]
You do love a good mystery, it's true. How'd you figure that one out, again? It had you stuck for, huh, a couple of days, at least. Didn't it?
no subject
It was the taser, though. Our little Jane Doe was a fighter when you buzzed her. Scared the big bad police who brought her in. That plus the hydrophobia, sensitivity to light, random outbursts. Oh, and biting Foreman. Who's ever gotten rabies from a human patient?
Would've locked her up sooner if we knew she was contagious. [Locking up the Joker is the plan.]
no subject
They're talking and it doesn't seem like they're talking about him. How annoying.]
Yes, well, this story is terribly boring. Let's talk about something else. Like the number of times Greg here has kakked it.
It's more than zero!
no subject
In any case, he figures he's got the important bits.]
Ah, sorry. The practice of medicine isn't nearly as glamorous as one might imagine. It's an awful lot of paperwork, but sometimes clinic duty will shake things up. [He gives House as meaningful of a look as he can manage without attracted the Joker's attention. Listen carefully.]
You get all sorts of crazy things in the clinic. Stab wounds, overdoses, BDSM gone wrong... You know, one time I even had a patient that managed to accidentally mix ammonia and bleach. The idiot gassed himself. Can you believe that?
[His bag, House. Do not let the Joker get ahold of his bag.
He chuckles and shakes his head like he's remembering good times.] Anyhow, yes, I've heard House has been rather busy lately.
no subject
I'd believe it, but if we're talking clinic, the naughty nun was way more fun.
[That's mostly just to get the Joker's focus off the ammonia and bleach.]
And we want something even more interesting, how about we talk about that time America beat the crap out of you? I still haven't heard the full, gory details. I'm a horror movie guy. Call it academic interest.
[Call it also distracting by being petulant.]
no subject
Some folks don't get the joke. And bats hit you.
[Joker drops his head into his chin and smiles.]
At least I don't have an addiction that almost ripped the whole dang town apart, what was going with that?
no subject
He glances at the Joker. Hm. Medical mystery. The issue with the nun had something to do with allergies, he remembers, and the usual treatments for allergies didn't work. Wilson's not sure how that one shook out in the end, but the best he can guess from House's reference is that there's no point in worrying about the Joker's health. The usual medical approach isn't going to do much here.
Wilson briefly zones out of the conversation as he tries to riddle out the puzzle, but he figures House is done with clues anyway. It's not like Wilson would be able to pick up on subtle hints in references to events he wasn't around for.
At the Joker's mention of House's addiction causing some, um, tension, he checks back in. What's up with that? But Wilson doesn't say anything. Instead, he shoots a look at House. Do tell.]
no subject
Ever been through detox in the middle of a winter hellscape while you're physically crippled in a way that already makes it hard to get anywhere? [There's an irritated edge to his voice.] Super fun prospects. Some asshole stole my Vicodin, taunted me, and didn't give it back when I gave him an ultimatum. I made sure he regretted it.
no subject
[He looks at Wilson.]
Housiekins shared someone's darkest secret on the network then a vampire beat the heck out of him. Folks have had issues trusting each other ever since.
I'm actually kinda impressed. He causes almost as much mayhem as me.
no subject
I see. This sounds like a very interesting story.
no subject
You can read the whole thing on the network. In fact, why don't you do that? I'm hungry and about to eat dinner, thanks. I'm assuming you're gonna steal my food anyway, clown, so come get it.
[He can give Wilson a temporary reprieve from the Joker, perhaps, and it might give House a chance to claim the seat next to the other doctor while the Joker is preoccupied. House isn't actually hungry. He's never hungry these days, even with as little as he eats. With Wilson's arrival, he's been making more of an effort to eat anyway.
House turns from the other men and crouches down to dig school rations out of his pack.]
