In every aspect of life, anything good always comes with a price. In this case, that may be a few… less than completely polite individuals, whether they're the sort who are actively dangerous or just the sort who have no concept of personal boundaries.

But, in among that crowd are often people whose presence you'll find yourself incredibly thankful for, even if only for a couple of days.

So, in the interest of not missing them while they're here? Well. I thought I might as well come say hello.


[ooc: HELLO AND WELCOME TO FOURTH WALL. Quick rundown here: Wilson is from late season 3. He is, however, vaguely aware of some canon events from beyond his pull point (ie: Amber). If you would like to bring a character who is aware of the end of the show, I am totally okay with that. I would kindly request that, while you can be all kinds of weird around him, you do not explicitly tell Wilson what is going to happen to him. Giving him a vague sense of doom is totally okay.

Also, please no duplicate Wilsons, or the rest of the Poly House cast. I will be tagging back after I sleep, and... this note has gotten a lot longer since the finale and I am very sorry for that, ahaha ♥

also kinda forward-dated to not the middle of the night]

Eloquently put, Dr. Wilson.

[Did someone mention aspects of life.]

[dr_conscience]

Well... thank you.

I just don't think these days deserve nearly the degree animosity they can get.

[He sure did! Hello there :D]

[and_identity]

I don't think they do, either. I certainly like them, but that might just be because it gives me a chance to come see all of you.

[dr_conscience]

I don't think there could possibly be any better reason to like them. Though it hardly seems like you're the sort who would inspire a cold reception.

[and_identity]

Looks can be deceiving. I'm not usually the one people get apprehensive about, up until I eat them alive or fall on their head like a sack of bricks.

[Because metaphors are funny.]

[hallucinamber]

Some of them know how to make themselves hard to miss.

[Like oh, the girl on your couch, Wilson. Who knows how she gets in here.]

Don't worry, I promise I'll respect your personal boundaries.

[dr_conscience]

Well, some of them I wouldn't want to miss.

[Her presence is certainly startling, but hardly in a bad way. He stands there for the moment, hands on his hips in a posture that mocks sternness more than anything else. The hint of a smirk breaking the line he's drawn his mouth into probably gives it away, along with his overblown tone.]

I should hope so.

[hallucinamber]

Though I'd be lying if I made a guarantee to be completely polite.

[She leans her chin on one elbow and just looks at him a minute. Maybe there's something more lingering about it this time, but it's one of those things she'd never go far enough to explain. Like the part where she lives for these few days. Quite, quite literally.]

You're looking good. Like at least a few good night's sleep good. Less curses this month?

[dr_conscience]

I don't think I would expect you to be.

[And he lets his arms relax at his sides, a small smile on his face.]

It seemed like less - though that may just be because there was nothing I could really complain about.

[practicingforhell]

Anyone ask you to marry and divorce 'em yet? Remember you having that problem.

[dr_conscience]

Fortunately, I haven't run into that issue just yet.

There's time, of course.

[practicingforhell]

Lucky. Must suck to be you, having girls after you all the time.

audio;

[dr_conscience]

[HAHAHA not quite, sir. Not quite.]

Sure. If by "all the time", you mean on these weekends...

Of course, I'm not necessarily looking to rush into a divorce.

audio;

[practicingforhell]

That's all the time. [You know, when you only exist on fourth wall days.]

Well, yeah, but what about the stuff before the divorce?

[palecapslock]

HELLO.

[dr_conscience]

[...oh. Well.]

Ah... hello.

[palecapslock]

I DON'T THINK I WAS WHO YOU WERE REFERRING TO.

[dr_conscience]

Well, I was largely referring to people I've seen before, on days like this.

[Though there's also the part where you appear to be... well, you know. Death.]

I'm fairly certain I'd remember if we had spoken before.

/obligatory

[and_identity]

Oh, for the love of fuck, don't tell me you're back to doing the creepy spectre-face thing again.

:3

[palecapslock]

IT WAS FITTING, RECENTLY.

[and_identity]

Yeah, and I'm the one who's going to have to hear about wrinkles and crow's feet and Oprah's latest facial extravaganza the whole way home if the other you spots you hanging around here looking like that.

[red_on_rice]

It surprises me that you remember what it's like to be around people who do have a concept of personal boundaries.

[dr_conscience]

I do know people other than House.

A few of them, even.

[red_on_rice]

Just checking.

[In any number of ways.]

How are you, James?

[dr_conscience]

Well, still hanging out in an alternate dimension. But I'm managing.

[Mostly.]

How have you been? [But perhaps more importantly...] You remember being here before?
