[network] @hotstud_xxx; The Gregory House Band; Night 326 [open]

[rubikscomplex]

hello, snowhellions!
it's been many many moons now since the idea of a band came to me
since then, a hell of a lot of people have died
the idea kept going
unlike them
originally, i'd planned to hide away from you assholes
but it's become clear we have a common goal
and that's staying alive and rocking out

i intend to claim a turf
in fact, i intend to claim all the turf
all current and future portions of norfinbury

there will be no tax for moving through this turf
no need for guard accompaniment
take anything you want without asking
provided you can take it
we apparently don't have problems with theft or murder here, really

you wanna join?
you're in
i only ask that you accept i'm lead guitar
there may be other lead guitars
because who the hell wants to play every night?
but i'm totally one of the leads

not imposing on anyone
just offering refuge
no rules
no random ass person you don't know telling what you can and can't do
access to puzzles and supplies
so we can actually get to the center of this town and find out what the hell happened and why

i do have to mention, though
everyone is allowed on the band's turf
i trust you're not stupid enough to disrespect that
i'm sure as hell not running around policing people

oh, and the band's name is open for suggestions
current thoughts:

1. The NIMAtodes
2. The Norfinflurries
3. Blueballs
4. Frozen Metal Deathmachine

[ Flat, dry: ] I can't believe I actually agree more with this than the original. A post, written by you. This is the end.

[rubikscomplex]

you like it

lets you run around in the scaffolding and shadows

Congratulations, doctor, you are now feuding with an actual literal cat.

[rubikscomplex]

[rubikscomplex]

[sharktrash]

don't accept the violin guy

he's rly bad

[rubikscomplex]

think you missed the whole
anyone who wants to join is in
i'm not policing membership

[not here]

[dousedflame]

[Don't engage, don't engage, don't engage, don't engage...

Oh she is going to skin him. Hopefully no one minds her staying up all night pacing and sharpening her claws on every available surface. Walls? Yes. Doors? Yes. Stephen's leg? Maybe.]

[not here]

[rubikscomplex]

[Thank you for hurting Stephen, Bluestar. This pleases House. As does your impotent rage.]

[phaseshifter]

I hate that I agree with the spirit of this post, so I'm going to distract you with alternative band names. High-Velocity Snowsplosion??

@godsend, text

[termineur]

That name wins.

[ ...yep, that's all he came here to say. ]

@quark; text

[averytinyparticle]

me im in

[He wants to be part of the band! He can be a cool kid and rock out! He's learning piano, remember!]

this is a good excuse to pick up practicing again

[rubikscomplex]

[That makes House smile.]

next time you're somewhere with a piano
set up a video line with me

[action]

[ex_this_ismydesign36]

[ Never mind Will, in a corner, laughing. ]

[action]

[rubikscomplex]

What's your vote on a band name? I'm also taking suggestions. Puns and bitchin' titles most preferred.

@beyonce | audio

[thewarningafter]

[Stephen knows better than to engage. And yet....

Enjoy the sounds of Peter Quill's Magnum Opus, House.]

[rubikscomplex]

aw, stevie
are you gonna be djing for us?
that's so sweet!
:)

@gravedigger; voice

[harlequinofhate]

Why not something more rock and roll for a name?

Frostbite.

Snowblind.

Oh, howzabout Accidental Snowman Sodomy?

[rubikscomplex]

first two are cool
but c'mon, joker
ASS?

[fiftheclipse]

[On one hand, he's not okay with anyone being mean to cats.

On the other...]

Are there even any guitars here?

[rubikscomplex]

dincht's got one
i had one
but there's a piano around here
holmes the younger has a violin
and i have a flute

[ecks]

this is how wars happen

[rubikscomplex]

a battle of the bands is a lot less bloody than an actual war, kid
and if everyone's welcome to join the band
no reason to fight

@clowncutie92; text

[clowngirl]

[It's too bad that Harley has temporarily lost her sense of humor, because this is pretty funny.]

what's the point? who has any instruments here anyway?

[rubikscomplex]

i do
holmes does
dincht does
i'm assuming people can sing

the point is i'm starting a band and claiming all turf for us
not big d, clownette
unless we're not going by that for you now?
the artist formerly known as clownette?

@PetertheGreat, audio

[zunesareawesome]

[He plays a few seconds clip of awesome guitar.]

You're just jealous, bro. Besides, I'm the lead singer and lead guitar of our band.

[Did you even ask Bluestar, Gamora, or Stephen about this Peter.]

[off to the side]

[dousedflame]

[She may not understand the point of music, but the bounce in that tune and the fact that Peter's taking this so seriously, but in such a silly direction, is... actually pretty funny. Somewhere up on a shelf, she's listening in and her whiskers are twitching with amusement.]

[sleight_of_fate]

[He hates you, House. You're terrible. But.]

Snowmaggedon Harpoon Match.

[rubikscomplex]

[Don't hate him 'cause he's beautiful, Rhys. And emotionally dysfunctional.]

okay
totally wicked
and going on the list for potentials

[warriorscribe]

I agree with the spirit of this. You and I have seen permanence is difficult to maintain here. She is relatively new. However, the cat should be allowed to remain where she pleases if that's what she wants, even if she doesn't seem to have accounted for the fact that her clan's enemies may arrive or revive in her "territory" through no control of their own.

Perhaps wait to see whether she blocks the way to a vital resource? That's the only real problem I can foresee aside from that.

I've no more focus left to help with band names, unfortunately.

[And that's...pretty much that. This whole thing took him like half an hour to word properly. But at least over text you can't hear him falling apart.]

[rubikscomplex]

dude
this is about inviting everyone to the band and looking for a name
get with the program!
you can be a singer

[He's absolutely ignoring the actual content of your message, Enoch.]

@starspangledhero; voice

[fifty]

Frozen Metal Deathmachine! I'll be on lead guitar too! [Was this about anything else? No.]

[rubikscomplex]

[This is clearly the only thing this is about.]

another tally for fmd!
your mission
as our newest lead guitarist
is to find us a guitar
and by us
i mean me
srsly
find me a guitar

@bluebird, text

[plaguenurse]

I can play the tambourine. :)

And I think I like The NIMAtodes, it's funny.

[It's pretty obvious what this is actually about, but Diana always thinks being nice is the best approach.]

[rubikscomplex]

thank you
at least someone else around here is a complete dweeb
i threw that one in to sniff you kids out
you're still welcome to the band, tho
especially if it's a green tambourine you play

@zd; text

[swatsflies]

[ Was going to just scroll past but he sees something that catches his attention. ]

Whoa. Didn't you find a guitar? What happened?
Did someone steal it?

[rubikscomplex]

we don't talk about what happened
the night that the lights went out in georgia

i'm in the market for a new one
provided you're looking to sell

@309_W1C_2DZ; text

[howdull]

It's been a long time since I played in a band, but I suppose you can't be any worse than Hell's Own Waiters.

[rubikscomplex]

did you pick the name?
or one of your disgruntled coworkers?

@librarian; video

[cahooted]

[This shouldn't be so funny.]

Well, I can play the clarinet but I'm not sure if there's room for band kids among you cool rockers.

Then again, I was never actually in band, so.

[rubikscomplex]

all are welcome in the band
we might need those mad clarinet skillz when we do a retirement party
or a bar mitzvah

[advanced]

[Really? Him as well?]

You're an idiot.

[Even more of an idiot than the dumb cat.]

[rubikscomplex]

i am rubber
you are glue
whatever you say bounces off of me
and sticks to you
