[network] @hotstud_xxx, Late Night 190, audio [open]

[rubikscomplex]

[It's almost midnight when House's message goes out. He sounds honestly terrified. His hands are shaking too much to type, and he's too frantic to think of voice-to-text. There's also the music. He can hear it. He can't tell where it's coming from, but it's there and it's fading in and out with the static and a whisper that he can just make out.

It would probably be better to see to his wounds first, but that's secondary at the moment.]

The music. Who's hearing the music and the static? Have anyone's eyes changed? Who can hear it?

[He sings the first few lines.]

Lavender's blue, dilly dilly, lavender's green...

It's Andromeda's song for Winter. It's the song in the apartment with the knives. The Jedi heard it, too. His eyes or his hand set it off.

Who can hear it?

[Wait, hold the phone.]

Your eyes didn't change? At all? Were you even here? Night 180.

[House doesn't recognize the guy's sn, except vaguely.]

[passingmemories]

Yeah, I slept through it all. Sora said something about a prophet, but I've got no idea why it made everyone's eyes weird.

[rubikscomplex]

[Okay. Irritation is momentarily displacing fear, so thank you for that, Roxas.]

"I slept through it," sure as hell isn't the same thing as "my eyes were normal," moron. How the hell did you sleep through that?

[passingmemories]

I didn't have eyes drawn on me, so I wasn't in murder or run and hide mode like everyone else. The house I was in was safe since I was traveling alone.

I didn't even know about the prophet till Zack explained it.

[rubikscomplex]

If you didn't have drawn eyes, you had glowing eyes on 180. You're not a special snowflake, princess. Except princess is right, because you're apparently Sleeping Freaking Beauty.

[passingmemories]

You would have too if you're not used to having a human body. Humans get tired way too fast.

[rubikscomplex]

Whatever you are doesn't get tired fast enough.

[Roxas, you were asleep for, like, weeks once. Don't even.]

[passingmemories]

Human bodies are pretty useless at staying awake.

[THAT WAS NOT HIS FAULT]

[rubikscomplex]

So is every other normal type of body.

[passingmemories]

You're really grumpy.

[rubikscomplex]

You're really useless.
