[log] we're not gonna make it [closed]

Characters: House, Steph, Zach
Location NN5 - Building 203
Date: Morning 181
Summary: The aftermath of murder night
Warnings: Will add as necessary! Will discuss murder and eyeless kids.


203: A rather boring apartment, but maybe that's a relief. It has a living room, attached kitchen, two small bedrooms, and a bathroom. The whole thing is sparsely decorated, but there's a whole wall of the kitchen plastered in silly children's drawings. None are of particular note except that there are a lot of colors and it looks like some were traced from picture books. Rocket ships, motorcycles, and hot rods have been added to the drawings in gel pen.

[House glances past the pair of them, then points with the mallet to the room he'd woken up in.]

Get in there, both of you. [He doesn't trust walking past them into an enclosed space.]

[ Steph nods her agreement, but turns her attention to Zach. If it's occurred to her that his eyes might be a problem she knows it must have occurred to him. She reaches to take his hand before heading into House's room. ]

[He should probably be more worried about Steph getting stuck with Zach, but just at this moment, he thinks she's probably safe from him, and that's good enough. He'll wait for the pair of them to disappear into the room, then dart forward and close it.

House puts a wine glass in front of the door so that he'll hear it fall if they try to sneak out. And then he's into the other room, checking Steph's pack for the ragdoll.

It's a moment where he contemplates just leaving, but he should say... something. House collects his wine glass and stops at the exit.]


I'm out. Keep away from people with glowing eyes.

[ Steph doesn't know what to say to Zach. She knows she needs to say something, but it's all so much and so immediate that she can't form the words.

She watches him worriedly while they wait to hear the front door open and close, and tries not to cry more.

When she hears him call out she peeks her head out the door and tries a sad facsimile of a smile. ]


Be careful, okay? Find... find someone you can trust. Please.

You can't trust anyone here.

[And he's gone. Goodbye, Steph and Zach.]

[ Steph sighs, and takes a moment to just rest her eyes, forehead pressed against the door frame.

She can't cry. She has to keep it together now.

Finally she turns back to Zach. ]


Hey. It's okay, Zach. Whatever happened, it's over now.
spoileralert: (unsure?)

[personal profile] spoileralert 2016-12-05 06:36 pm (UTC)(link)
[ She knows. Of course she knows. She can't stop knowing. ]

Maybe not, but the killing is. Look at us, we're all fine. We're okay. It's going to be okay.
spoileralert: (hold me)

[personal profile] spoileralert 2016-12-05 08:02 pm (UTC)(link)
[ She gets down on her knees to hug him tight. ]

It's not any worse than it's ever been. I'm not pretending.
spoileralert: (i'm sorry i can't)

[personal profile] spoileralert 2016-12-05 08:12 pm (UTC)(link)
I know. I know, baby. I am too.

[ She can't keep the tears back anymore. She has the feeling she's going to be crying a lot today. ]
spoileralert: smile, happy, sorry, tired (* tea is the worst tea flavor)

[personal profile] spoileralert 2016-12-06 06:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. [ She takes a deep, shaky breath and lets it out. ] Yeah, we do.

House should get enough distance while we pack up.
spoileralert: (knock knock)

[personal profile] spoileralert 2016-12-06 06:53 pm (UTC)(link)
He won't want to be too close when we start to move.

[ She pulls away now to dry her face. ]
spoileralert: (it's a lonely road)

[personal profile] spoileralert 2016-12-06 10:39 pm (UTC)(link)
[ She nods her agreement and heads off to the other room to do just that. ]
