[network] @hotstud_xxx; voice; Morning 047; Musical Interlude [open]

[Have an actually chipper-sounding House on the network, everyone. Why, he's almost downright giddy. Someone has bounced back a bit from the says before. Music helps immeasurably with that. He's had a chance to play a little this morning and now discovered there's additional musical accompaniment playing from nowhere. Creepy as all hell, but who is he to deny the Six Feet Under Snow Band?]

Good morning, Snowhell. Or Vietnam. Whichever. Basically the same thing, but with cold instead of heat, right? With all this talk about people being eaten, rising from the dead, ghosts from the year 2050, and rousing pleas for camaraderie, I thought we could all use something to lighten the mood. So this one goes out to my darling Clementine. Unless your name's short for Clemydia or something. Then your parents suck.

[He begins to play the school piano, other phantom instruments joining in. House doesn't actually sing, but he's thinking the lyrics.]

Actually, that one goes out to most of the chicks here. You girls seriously need to simmer down. But here's a little something for my main man Hiro.

[This time something slightly less snarky.]

And last for this first round before I take requests from the listeners, two songs from Dr. Clayton Epps for his sweetie, Jane. Those crazy kids, getting up to all kinds of things! At least they must have been from the moaning I heard in the other room. Oh, cover your ears if you're under ten here. This is grown-up talk about romance.

[And there will be two more incredibly snarky instrumentals in honor of the pair of them.]

If you recognized none of those songs, you're a loser and need to be educated on Earthian musical history. Luckily, I'm here to take your questions and requests. Or make up requests for you.

ha. nice. never learned an instrument myself but that's not bad. i know i've seen at least one piano in one of these buildings. not the school though.

but now i'm curious on what your made up requests would sound like. you're not wrong though. some here are from entirely different worlds that this will fly right over their heads. Let alone that 'Vietnam' reference there. 'Snowhell' though. That sounds about right. Have to be pretty depressing and desperate back home to prefer this.

Tell me which general direction it was in, and I'll keep an eye out next time I'm around there. It'd be a shame not to make these a regular sort of entertainment.

As for made up requests, I was just going to plug in whatever made sense for them. Like for you, I'm thinking Mr. Roboto might work if you don't ask for something I know in the next minute or so. I'm working on a schedule here, Double-H.

not sure i'd be so keen with that particular piano. just for the record. but i can try mark it on a map and send it to you if you want. there's enough buildings around that there are probably some others though. i mean, the school is obvious if they had music lessons and all.

'mr roboto', huh? kind of hard to figure what you might know. most of what i listen to is pretty new. you're not quite up to me yet on that. but sure, go for it.

[Double-H. Well, it's not inaccurate, given the name. Still, Hiro can't help encouraging House all the same.]

[And Hiro will get to enjoy the sweet sounds of Styx!]

So, what's up with the piano you found? Filled with blood?

[Because that would be thematically appropriate for this place, if nothing else.]

Ah. Y-yeah. Though I was trying not to actually specify that.

[Thanks for reminding him and bringing that back up, exactly, Foreman. :l]

[House runs a hand down his face for a moment.]

Could this place get any more stereotypical horror movie setting?

Edited 2015-10-24 23:35 (UTC)

Tell me about it. This is pretty....well. You know. Not that I doubt the implicit horror of this place in general but sometimes. Yeah.

At least it gives us reasons to laugh. [And then shake their heads at the ridiculous tropes.] I'm waiting for the moving animal hedges, personally. Or an ancient Indian burial ground. Inuit burial ground. Whatever. Hey, maybe that's why this place got screwed over.

Because of the Indians? Really? Not sure if Indians have the tech or whatever with this to manage mind control. Or bringing back the dead like this. But you keep telling yourself that, Foreman. Whatever helps you sleep at night.

Nah, weird crap just happens on old Indian burial grounds. I mean, if we're going spooky stories, we might as well pull everything into it. What would help me sleep better at night, anyway, would be my guitar. You see one not filled with blood around, let me know.

Just happens. Uh-huh. But sure. I guess I can keep an eye out for you. Not making any promises though.

Cool. [There's a pause as he considers asking about Tadashi... and then just asks around the issue.] So. I guess you guys aren't going to be around the funeral home anytime soon? Y'know. To check things out.

Not sure yet. We kind of take things day by day but if we keep this up, exploring along the wall, we'll get to the morgue soon enough.

[Tadashi being one reason he decidedly both does and really doesn't want to go now. Possibly finding the body. Which is probably the reason why Zack and the rest might well be hesitant if Hiro tagged along for that particular search.]

Like I said, let us know whatever you find. Epps and his group are over that way taking care of the resident pneumoniapire. They might be able to have a look around, instead. Divide and conquer or whatever.

[Whatever.]

Yeah? Well. ditto for you guys. The more we poke around, the more we are likely to possibly find something useful.

Heading down into the tunnels. I'll see what I can find in the hospital. Anybody made a map for down there, yet?

If we find one, I'll let you know. I'm not sure if Al and the others down that way have been mapping it out or if they have, how far they've got with it yet. That area is a more recent discovery in comparison.

I'll figure something out. Hospital sounds like it's easy enough to find from what Epps said. Catch you later, kid. Good luck.
