[swatsflies]

shit

[ That's all he's got ]

[rubikscomplex]

[Yeah, that about sums it up. House has nothing to add.]

@PetertheGreat, audio

[zunesareawesome]

[Peter could probably just go over to talk to him really.]

Oh hell no.

I'm gonna kick his ass if he comes back.

@Ecks | audio

[ecks]

No.

[That's all. Just "no."]

Perma-audio

[zunesareawesome]

No? How about yes?!

Perma-audio

[ecks]

No. He was controlled. It is like the people who tortured the others in the tower. I murdered him. It is not necessary to also hurt him.

[rubikscomplex]

[They're all together again. This is stupid.]

Hey, Idiot-Lord. Maybe check the 'I'm gonna kick his ass' bullshit. You seriously think he had any control last night? Did you?

[He doesn't like defending anyone who hurt Quark, who murdered Quark, but House can separate the emotional from the practical. Unlike some people.]

[zunesareawesome]

[Ugh, fine, he shuts off his tablet--]

Yeah, but I didn't start anything! All I did was walk around a lot!

He killed a kid. A kid, who all he wanted to do was go home! A kid who wanted to be a cowboy and was cheered up when I played him a song. A kid who just went through hell with the brainwashing thing.

And he thinks pirates are better than wizards.

action

[rubikscomplex]

You think it matters that he was a kid? You think it matters who anyone is here? I've watched that kid hack into someone's body and torture them. I've seen that kid two steps away from murdering me. And I've seen him die before. I just sat and listened while he froze to death.

Nothing is sacred here. Nothing is fair. Welcome to life, hero. Sometimes everybody dies and you just lose. He got unlucky. You didn't. You wanna know why I locked you two assholes in another house last night? I was freaking terrified! I cuffed and tied Wilson up enough to make sure he sure as hell wasnt moving. You could have done what he did. And you wouldn't have blinked.

[America sounds exhausted.] I know how you feel, dude, but he wasn't in control. It didn't just happen to him.

Perma-audio

[zunesareawesome]

I know he wasn't in control, but it doesn't change what he did! He should have fought it! Done something!

What do you mean, didn't just happen to him?

@mewatson, voice

[agravating]

[She's gotten a bit too used to seeing her husband's name in the obituary.]

To what end? You don't really believe this was intentional. [Note the username, Peter, though she'd never given her full name.] Violent assault isn't in John's day to day repertoire.

Perma-audio

[zunesareawesome]

[That name. Sister? Wife?]

Doesn't change the fact he did it.

So when are you going to come for the rest of us?

If you believe that John deserves punishment for what happened, then I assume you won't be averse to punishing those of us who were converted not long ago. Quark included, by the way.

Perma-audio

[zunesareawesome]

Yeah, but... [He rubs his face.] You guys didn't kill a kid. I mean yeah, what happened was awful, but you didn't...come on, man, it's not the same! Quark didn't deserve to die like this! Or at all!

[ Showing up 15 minutes late with Starbucks. ]

Congratulations are in order.
You just made @ecks and @prettypinkflowers cry.
You must feel so proud of yourself.

[ If only he had popcorn ]

Perma-audio

[zunesareawesome]

I didn't mean to, jeez!

-> audio

[himalayanyeti]

he

[Okay, yes, this calls for something that can convey things a little better, so he switches to voice.]

He what?

@PetertheGreat, audio

[zunesareawesome]

WHAT THE HELL!?

QUARK!? He's just a kid!

[He's beyond furious, and it takes him a good long while to calm down before he gets he idea to play--this song over the network as a little tribute.]

You better come back, Quark. You don't deserve this.

[After speaking to John, Bucky sends a very brief message to Peter.]

Where are you?

@PetertheGreat, audio; private;

[zunesareawesome]

Heading south. Why?

[He's suspicious. Almost everyone's trying to stop him.]

perma text, perma private

[advanced]

I have business with John too, I want you to wait for me.

[This probably won't work, but he has to try.]

perma audio, perma private

[zunesareawesome]

And you're not gonna try to stop me?
