[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?

we can't hear anything, and our eyes are still the same
what do you mean the world turned to static?

[rubikscomplex]

I mean it was like we were inside a freaking television. The sound, everything around us. It was covered in static.

[theurgy]

so not the same as the static you're hearing now, right?
what does the song sound like?

[Sorry, House, this is weirding him out.]

[rubikscomplex]

The sound is the same when there is static. There isn't anything visible. Yet.

[Yet.]

It sounds like...

[He starts to sing.]

Close we will live, dilly dilly, and when we die
Both in one grave, dilly dilly, close we will lie
If I die first, dilly dilly, and that may be
You must live on, dilly dilly, thinking of me

The static... it's over the top and between the lyrics.

[Cassel shivers. He super does not want to get murdered.]

does that mean anything? other than you hearing it before

[rubikscomplex]

It's what the AI's sang to each other. And same as a song we heard in one of the apartments. I have no freaking idea what that means. [And usually that would be exciting. Right at this very moment, it's terrifying, like everything else.]

[theurgy]

apparently that's a theme here

[He's freaked out, so he's going to be a little shit.]

how do i know if you all lose your minds and start trying to kill people again?

[rubikscomplex]

So is the soundtrack to Silent Hill 2. And you'll know because you're gonna be right there with us, bro. Welcome to Snowhell. Population: Everyone who's gonna kill you.
