[House promised Alfie World War III. Time to send in the first set of nukes.]

dr. house here with a public service announcement regarding alfie solomons
@asolomons

now, many of you may know the old alfster
as that dude running the brokerage service for the town
he's a rough sorta gangster
but he's a swell guy
just trying to help everyone out!


alfie solomons is a thief

current list of KNOWN items stolen by alfie solomons:

• a harmonica (ecks gave me that)
  
• a bag of tea (luna gave me that)
  
• a quarter of a bottle of vicodin prescribed to gabriel gray
  
• a book of matches
  
• a hammer
  
• a grabber tool
  
• a pair of sunglass
  
• a tube of chapstick

i should probably add that he robbed me while i was under the influence of mind-control
and unable to stop him
granted, he doesn't mind violence

alfie solomons aided and abetted my murder by providing the murder weapon
knowing what purpose it would be used for
hear that @ADMIN?
if you wanna slap this guy with a perma-beacon, that'd be swell

so that's all for now, kids
just wanted to mention

text

[rubikscomplex]

he hangs with his boyfriend @duster most of the time
plus a little girl he's traumatizing and @lockhart
pretty sure they're somewhere in the residential area

talk to @guardian if you want the blingee app
i'm just one of the hallowed few to be given the privilege of it

And here we have Gregory House - the man who provokes bad people, pretends to be shocked when they bring bad things down on him in return, and then comes back to do it all over again.

[He plans for this to be his only public comment here - he's busy dealing with broken ribs and the injuries of his group members. But he will absolutely be watching.]

[rubikscomplex]

i told you what i was gonna do boss
and then you ordered me not to do it
i said "yes, sir"
and what was it you said?
"oh, house, if only that were true"

i didn't wanna make a liar out of you along with a thief and murderer
oh
also general assaulter
in front of small, impressionable little girls
i can still hear the screaming
can you?

[snowblindmods]

[Alfie's beacon is permanently set to ON.]

@Spoiler ; video

[spoileralert]

Oh my god. How can a bunch of grown ass men act like such freaking children?

I swear to god, if we all die here I am holding you both responsible and haunting your asses until the end of time.

[rubikscomplex]

wow
i didn't know letting people know that solomons has no problem
mind-controlling and helping to murder people was childish
i'll mark that down on the list, stiffi

@ordo; audio

[hangfire]

[The text-to-voice is having a field day with all that glitter text, holy shit. But Lutha gets the basic gist of it, and the note about thievery, though not entirely surprising, is still tucked away.]

Providing the materials isn't the same as shedding the blood, Doctor. If you're going to throw a fit over working someone enough for them to kill you, fine, but smearing it in public like this makes you look like a child.

[rubikscomplex]

what about helping a guy get me down to cut my ear off?
that close enough to getting blood on his hands for you, eulthulu?
or however your fancy ass name is spelled
i smell money who got kicked out of the house and is poor now

@Ecks | text

[ecks]

it was not a justified murder

@IAmLegend; text

[definingfuture]

You're both ridiculous.

[rubikscomplex]

preeeeetty sure i told you piss off not long ago, pal

@haurchefant; voice

[silverfuller]

...By the Fury.

Is there no end to this nonsense, House?

[rubikscomplex]

ask the guy who robbed and helped murder me, bro
and help take my ear off
while a little girl was watching

@dickcheese, audio

[headjacked]

Well, this all seems familiar.

@Spoiler ; audio

[spoileralert]

Rhys, make it stop. My brain can't take the stupidity anymore.

@featherydouche; text

[mrcreamsicles]

ok time to take alfie off the list of people to trust even a little
heres a better subject
were in the new area and ive got some updates for your map

[rubikscomplex]

[House appreciates someone expressing their loss of trust for Alfie. Thank you, Davesprite.]

sure
what've you found?

@starspangledhero; voice

[fifty]

Wait, he killed you? [Go into more detail about that?!]

[rubikscomplex]

[Thank you someone for being shocked! Well, even if it's for the wrong reason.]

learn to read
i said aided and abetted
he didn't pick up a knife and stab me
he just gave the guy who was gonna come and murder me the weapon to do it with
oh
and helped block me in and shove me around when said other guy cut off part of my ear a little while back

@determination, voice

[despiteeverything]

[It has been. A tiring few days. They're on their own now still, which is tiring in its own right.

This really isn't what they needed to see on top of that. Adults are stupid. Humans are stupid. They're mad at both House and Alfie. It just all seemed so pointless. They were all going to die and all they could do was just keep making it worse.]

Why do you keep hurting each other?

[They're referring to Alfie and House alike, really. Or maybe stupid human adults in general.]

[rubikscomplex]

because that's the way the world works
i hurt you
you hurt me more
and the cycle continues until someone breaks

@betterhalf; audio>

[darkincrement]

Fresh out of any tiny ones, but I have this.

[ Have the world's worst violin playing for a second. ]

[rubikscomplex]

[Why this suffering? House immediately sets this asshole on voice-to-text for his tablet's end.]

aww
torturing a violin just for my suffering?
you shouldn't have!

action

[ecks]

[Ecks's anger is always quiet, but this morning it is very quiet. House has some time to make replies before she finishes reading, rereading, and letting the anger build up inside her. She comes to his side on nearly silent feet, her voice as neutral as always.]

Alfie Solomons took your harmonica.

[rubikscomplex]

[She really needs to not do the silent feet thing. House startles briefly and looks up at the golem. He's still just as wretched-looking as before, but at least Claire's taken care of some of his injuries as best she can. Most of his face is a swath of real and makeshift bandages.]

Calm down. He'll get what's coming to him. The Admin'll turn his Beacon on for this.

[phaseshifter]

Alfie is a bandit? And he'll mess up people who give him reason to do so? Holy heck! This is brand new information!! :OOOOOOOOOO

@Ecks | text

[ecks]

there was not reason
there was not justified reason
also it is not new information because I already knew Alfie Solomons would hurt Doctor House

@no; text

[lucisdreamer]

Well, it seems a lot think you deserve what you got. Can't say I've been around long enough to weigh in on this, but good to know what this guy is willing to do to those he doesn't like.

So, thanks for the information.

[rubikscomplex]

i'm just here to be an educator, bro
and solomons told me himself
he thinks most of what he's dishing is disproportionate retribution
but why let that stop a guy?

@godsend, text

[termineur]

Wow, people sure don't seem to care about murder much around here, do they?

[rubikscomplex]

apparently not
lucky you

@hawkguy, audio

[awwnoun]

Wait - wait. [ Hold on, Clint is dealing with a lot of pain, at the moment, but he can't just let this go. He sounds stilted and a little harsh, but he's trying to keep his voice even. ]

What happened? Why'd he take all your stuff, I didn't think he - well, I guess it doesn't matter what I thought, he did.

What are you doing with this, man?

[rubikscomplex]

it's a call-out post and psa, birdbrain
and he took all my stuff because i didn't have enough vicodin for him to steal

@majesty, audio

[empireofrats]

Mister Alfie isn't a bad person.

[rubikscomplex]

yes, he is
he's nice to you because you're a little girl
and you play into his fantasy of being a family man

i'm a bad person, too
and bad things happen to bad people
yadda yadda
i'm looking forward to more bad things happening to him

@estibien; audio

[dravanicide]

And what, pray tell, is the point of the gaudy text? Hoping it might make your plight more... entertaining?

[He doesn't honestly care about the shit Alfie apparently did. He knows House is kind of a bastard on a good day, so he's hard pressed to blame the man.]

[rubikscomplex]

the point is that you don't like it
you
specifically
i wanted to annoy on a personal level

@snowpiercer; text

[peacemongering]

At least he admits he's a bad person, Doctor. It isn't as if this place is teaming with those doing more than trying to survive for the most part.

Though, that was quite dastardly of him to steal your chapstick.

[rubikscomplex]

have i ever said i'm a good person?

it's also teaming with goody-two-shoes
i'm sure a few of them'll be upset
ruining someone's day is just a highlight for me

joke's on hime
i've used it
we're basically kissing any time he smears it on his lips
