Gregory House, MD
[He's not sending this out to the wider network. Hell no. But House will be sending it to those who participated in the tablet experiment:

Alphonse, America, Beckett, Billy, Castiel, Davesprite, Enoch, Joker, Mycroft, Sherlock, Stephen, Rhys, Quark, and Kunsel. He'll also be sending it to a few people who filmed for those people who were hurt or killed, Ecks, Dorian, and Brian. Angel, Karkat, and Kid are also included in this filter because of Reasons.

House still has that conversation with the Joker swirling around in his head, and maybe this is an attempt to prove to him just how different they are, or maybe it's how he's going to win back Davesprite as a willing minion. He's going to hold onto those as internal reasoning. Spite and practicality.]


making this short and sweet
so none of us has to talk to each other any longer than we want
think we can all agree it's been a crap week
something happened before all of this prophet bullshit went down, though
clearing it off the slate now that i'm not literally insane

some of you died or were hurt because of my tablet experiment
we got good information
we did it by sacrificing nine people
you're all grown ass adults except for the under 18s in the crowd
and they've all dealt with crap people twice their age haven't had to
you make your own decisions
but it was my experiment
if i had it to do over again
i'd probably do the same thing
but i didn't want any of you to die
or be hurt
and it sucked balls being insane after

sorry


[And that's all you assholes are getting. House is fully aware that he's already opening himself up to enough criticism and crowing here. But it's done, and he's not going to think about it now as he hits send. He can't afford to push everyone until they break. He's discovered in a very visceral way recently just how much he needs them.]
 
 
Rhys
[He needed a day. After everything, he needed a day.

A day to get out of this house, because the whispers he'd slept through before, he definitely wasn't going to sleep through now. Not good enough. Not tough enough. Why couldn't you do more? Why couldn't you be USEFUL? Even in the middle of the arctic night, he'd have been tempted to flee, but as it was, all he had to do was walk out into the too-bright day. One foot in front of the other, walk and not think until he got to the next house.

A day to breathe in air that wasn't tainted with the coppery stink of fear, hot metal and blood.

A day to think about something other than the next thing they were going to do to him, to not have to wonder if they were going to go after more of his skin, or his feet, or maybe do something creatively awful to his ribs.

A day without having to look at anyone else, to not have to feel their pain, too- no matter how alone it made him feel.

When he turns on his video in the early evening of night 265, Rhys looks tired, eyes not quite meeting the screen, and exactly as in the Cells, his long black hair is still gone. The raw stitches around his scalp have healed into a crown of scars around his hairline, stark and white where they show under his coat hood, and he's got a start on a surprisingly sad crop of stubble on his chin.]


Hey. So. Uh. I just wanted to check in, and let people know I'm alive and moving. I was where I was before everything, and I'm...

I had to move from the house I was in, and I'm still heading toward the convenience store. After that, I don't know. It seems like a few things have changed, but. Once I have supplies, I guess I'm open to suggestions?

[He hesitates, as if he wants to say more, but isn't sure. Finally, he simply adds:]

I hope everyone is doing better. If anyone out here needs anything, let me know. Otherwise, I'll catch up when I can.
