[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?

Winter was in it for the two of them. Andromeda wanted to fix whatever got screwed up. Points even more to at least part of it being her fault if she was feeling responsible.

[awwnoun]

Yeah. So what do you think she did? [ He's going to keep asking questions at least until he thinks House has settled a bit more. ]

[rubikscomplex]

Tried to reprogram a bunch of people's nanobots and their personalities and memories by extension. Did you see the way Winter freaked the last time Romanov and I pressed her on that? If something in that process went wrong, maybe it ended up driving all of them crazy.

[awwnoun]

Jesus. [ Yeah, that's scary. ] The admin lady can do that too, if I'm not remembering wrong. Or at least, that's what I gathered from when everybody was freaking out about trying to contain the Joker.

[rubikscomplex]

She can do it. She's deleted our memories without permission... or the auto permission we apparently grant by being kidnapped citizens.

[awwnoun]

[ He scrubs at his face. ] Right.

Well - we're tied up. So you don't have to worry about me or Ecks coming for you if this goes south, at least.
