[network] @hotstud_xxx; video/text; Night 229 [open] (cw: body horror)
[There's the sound of just uneven breathing as the camera focuses on a figure. As with all anomalies, the filming warps and distorts. But the figure is very clearly an older man, his arms and legs stretched to impossible lengths and his body clad in a smart military dress uniform. Those familiar with the American military might be able to pick out that he's a marine. Those more intimately familiar would be able to identify the insignia of a pilot, and the rank of a colonel on his jacket. The figure just looms, staring toward House's camera
The feed cuts and shifts to another point. This time, the tablet has been propped up on something. House is visible (for once in a blue moon) in his eclectic hobo attire, about ten feet away. The anomaly is there with him, and they're both roughly in profile view. The doctor is clutching a wooden croquet mallet tight and breathing hard enough that his chest is visibly rising and falling as he stares up at the anomaly with wide eyes. Very suddenly, he turns his head to look directly toward the tablet camera.]
Dr. Gregory House, Day 229, 12:30 PM... give or take. Anomaly has general appearance of Colonel John House. Abnormalities apparent in the limbs, which have become elongated. Anomaly is unresponsive to verbal commands, does not attack, and makes only gurgling, moaning noises. Anomaly initially encountered this morning when subject exited Building 255, but may have previously been present at any point between evening lockdown on Day 228 to morning unlock on Day 229.
Characteristic acute MN Poisoning symptoms manifest when subject approaches anomaly. [Here, he licks his lips and wipes at his upper lip unconsciously, the memory of the blood trickling from his nose still fresh.] Nosebleed, vertigo, nausea, and generalized malaise followed by unconscious. Anomaly did not attack when subject was rendered unconscious multiple times.
[His head snaps back toward the anomaly.]
So time to see what kind of punishment these assholes can take. Testing application of rubble-coated hammer to anomaly. Take one.
[It's only a second later that House launches himself at the anomaly, swinging the hammer and easily sweeping the thing's legs. The anomaly goes down, and the doctor pauses momentarily before screwing his eyes shut and hammering down on the thing. The anomaly flails its long limbs until one of them hits House and he crumbles to the ground unconscious. The anomaly finds its way to its feet and wanders a little ways away. When House wakes up, there's blood dripping from his nose and staining the white snow beneath.
This experiment is repeated twice more with very similar results. It's then repeated with a hammer that hasn't been coated with any rubble dust, again, with similar results. The video feed finally cuts off. House adds some text a few minutes later.]
so that was my day
how's everyone else doing?
also, the southern scrap wall extends all the way
we have to go under or climb over
my vote is under so we don't get speared

cw: discussion of depression
talk to the clownette
she's the ex-shrink
or strange or watson
they can probably give you scripts
not interested in taking on another patient, thx
no subject
Thank you for giving me an answer. Worry not, you'll only need to heal me if you must.
Might I trouble you for an answer to my other question, as well?
no subject
no one mentioned it
yeah
they hurt each other
the anomalies were trying to take our lights
or did you miss escherverse 1.0, too?
no subject
[He'd actually remember the event if he'd been there.
...Though he still wouldn't know to call it that.]
no subject
the place where we were all andromeda or the prophet
searching for lights
no subject
no subject
[No. He's reaching the end of his patience for someone who has been here. House can have some very mild sympathy for the effects of depression, but he's not going to indulge this further.]
go and read back about it or ask someone else
i'm out
no subject
It doesn't mean he wouldn't do so again, if House was distressed. So it goes.]
