[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.

You need me to tell you why sex is important?

[ And he's rolling his in turn. Girls! ]

The needles are how they insert new command codes into the hidden circuitry. Can't have us running out of things to do.

Sorry. But I just don't get why it's that important that you're considered a loser if you don't have it by a certain age.

[ Fun, aren't they? ]

Oh, is that what they're for? You mean having us travel from place to place totally clueless isn't enough?

And again. This is further evidence that you were never a teenage boy.

[ Only if an 'in bed' is appended to the 'fun' in that question. ]

And nah. They'd get bored watching us if we were complete idiots. Some of us have to have a 'sporting chance' at survival to make the ratings for the Android Truman Show to work out.

Actually, the way I look is more than enough proof.

[ Not happening from Sheena. But let her introduce you to Zelos... ]

You mean the monsters? Other than when they first appeared, I haven't had too many problems with them.

So, whatever ratings you're talking about... They're probably not paying attention to me.

My trans* brothers and sisters beg to disagree.

[ Way to be completely non-progressive, Sheena. ]

And the ratings are clearly all about you. Maybe try to do something to up the drama, then you'll get more attention. Seems like you're just too boring right now.

What does "trans" mean?

[ And that question alone should tell him why she's seemingly non-progressive. Nothing like that technology exists on her world. ]

If I have to choose between being boring and being attacked by those things... I'm sticking with boring. It lets me move about more freely.

Transgender or transsexual. It's when Mother Nature screws you over and sticks a boy in girl's body or vice versa. So basically, your life sucks because they'll tell you it's what's on the inside that counts. But in the end most people just wanna know what's between your legs and that's what you are to them.

Suit yourself. I'm disappointed in your television rating ambitions, though. Next tribal council, I'm voting you off the island.

Oh. I think I get it. Are you talking about their souls? [ She still has no idea what he's talking about, but now she's wondering what would have happened if Mithos had managed to put his sister's soul into Zelos instead of Colette.

But that's not really the issue. ]

So... basically, judging people on how they look, right? Why does that have to be a common thing on different worlds?

No. Souls don't exist. I'm talking about their self-constructed identity based on hormones and the way their brains are set up.

Anyway, you've got the gist of it. And I'm pretty sure judging based on appearances is just kind of the way these things go. It's ridiculous, but most social norms are.

Actually, yes, they do. Sometimes they appear as ghosts, but they do exist.

[ She's seen it. There are several moments of silence on her end as she thinks. ]

Okay, I think I got it. [ Different actions and words from the people around them probably confuses the hell out of them. ]

And I agree about judging on appearance alone. It's a person's actions that count.

[ She's not exactly part of the social norm. ]

[ House just sighs. ]

They don't exist where I'm from.

[ She can't dispute that, and he doesn't actually want to argue about this. ]

Cool, well-

[ There's the sound of a muffled voice snapping something that sounds like 'come on.' ]

The band's getting restless, so one last tune to play you out, babe.

[ And because they've just been talking ghosts and spirits, have a relevant tune, Sheena. ]

[ Before Sheena can reply, he's playing more music, and the ninja, being who she is, records it up until the end before ending her end of the feed. ]
