[rubikscomplex]

good evening snowhellions!
dr. house here bringing you a very special message:
i'm offering a reward to the man, woman, or child who can get me a picture
(face and body preferable, but face is a must)
of the dread merlwyb bloefhiswyn, grand storm admiral of limsa lominsa
otherwise known as @dreadnought on the network

what is this fabulous reward?

[House switched briefly to video and pans over pack of off-brand cigarettes, opening the top to show all of them are there. Next to them are four matches.]

you cough up the goods
i get you these beauties
not a smoker?
not a problem!
imagine the bartering power with the people who are smokers
get back to me soon

House, have you naught else to do than annoy the men and women of my home world?

Mayhap we should find you a lyre. You playing us music into the evening bells is certainly a better use of your skills than this.

What a strange request. Why are you so interested?

@hotstud_xxx; text

[rubikscomplex]

what can i say?
i'm a total xenophiliac
pics of non-human women turn me on

[redrooms]

You're a very curious person, House. I'd expect no less.

[Or: House, you gigantic lying weirdo.]

[dravanicide]

Interesting request.

If I were interested in your pitiful rewards I could give you what you want--'twould be convenient, considering whose company I have this evening.

[Yep, just him, Aymeric, and Merlwyb chilling together.]

Have aught else of interest?

[He doubts he's getting anything from you, McStabby, but he'll play for a while.]

what aught you be interested in, my lord chosen one

[dravanicide]

Lord Chosen One?

[That catches him, but he assumes he must have been told about the eye. Which, honestly isn't that big of a deal.]

Little do I find myself in need of bargaining chips, 'twould appear I have quite the bounty already. How about you give me some answers, and I may gift you with your reward. 'Tis not likely you will get your query elsewhere.

Are you really a doctor? [Wow, she sure sounds TEN YEARS OLD.] Are you going to check the Grand Storm Admiral of Limsa Lominsa for injuries if we send you a picture?

@hotstud_xxx; text

[rubikscomplex]

[Why do there continue to be small children?]

yep
that's the plan
really, i'm worried she's trying to hide an injury
worried about looking weak in front of the troops

not here... yet

[staytunednext]

[Challenge accepted.]

and sometime later!

[staytunednext]

[House will get this image sent to him, along with a recording of the conversation as proof.]

[rubikscomplex]

admit it, stiffi

@theblue; video; Filtered from Merlwyb

[heiresy]

[His voice comes at barely over a whisper as he glances to the door.] What an interesting coincidence that you should want a picture of her, Sir House. She's but a few rooms away from me in this instant. What will you do with it?

@hotstud_xxx; text; filtered

[rubikscomplex]

nothing, really, except for showing her i have it
i am curious to know what she looks like
we only have humans where i'm from

you're the guy who was reading the drunk porn
i've got half a bottle of gin with your name on it if you can snap a pic

[circumsutus]

[rubikscomplex]
