[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?

[Another point of data to add.]

Your entire group is normal eyes? [Just getting confirmation. House doesn't know how much more or less dangerous those people might be, but it's good to know who is who.]

[deus_ex_phs]

Yeah. We all had prophet eyes, and now we're all back to normal.

[He is so grateful that none of them had a different set of eyes. That would've held the potential to be a disaster.]

[rubikscomplex]

[Fine.]

Have restraints ready, anyway. We don't know when it might go off. Maybe tonight. Maybe tomorrow.

[deus_ex_phs]

[He's already talked to Zack about this. Unfortunately, it wasn't with any good ideas.]

Restraints would only work if there was one of us sane enough to stop the others. If we all go nuts, and all in the same way, there's not much we can do to stop ourselves.

[rubikscomplex]

Were you immediately insane last time? Stiffi and Letterman were able to resist for a minute or two when they turned. Gave me a little bit to get away. Same with Quark.

[deus_ex_phs]

I'm not sure how immediate the insanity was. None of us thought anything about it until after we'd set off on our own separate ways.

[rubikscomplex]

You have the chance to think about it now. Plan for it. Be ready for it. Do that. Get back to me if anything changes.

[deus_ex_phs]

Hm. I'll talk to the others again. If we can fight it, even for a minute, that definitely gives some hope.

Thanks.

[It's good advice, and information he didn't have before. He appreciates it, House.]

[rubikscomplex]

[House raises a brow.]

I'm just giving you facts, Helmethead. Later.

[deus_ex_phs]

And those facts happen to give me hope.

[Deal with it, House.]

Later.
