[Wilson's going about his business as usual today, because honestly this sort of day just doesn't faze him anymore. Aspects of it can be irritating, disconcerting, or even dangerous, but not nearly any more so than most other curses. So he's stopped at an admittedly crowded cafe near the hospital after leaving, coffee and a sandwich before him while he looks over a patient file. After making a few notes, he puts the file down to make the following audio post to the network - ]

I learned, several of... these back [ - because the populace doesn't really have a concise term for them - ], that there isn't really much point in trying to avoid the masses. Besides, if you do that, you're likely to have missed out on an opportunity to speak to people you would have been happy to see - faces from home, those who have left the City, even those who only visit on these days but do so with enough regularity to have developed personal connections.

So, as a curse, this isn't inherently good or bad. It has the potential to be either - or both, but it's the people who come, the interactions we have, that make it what it is. In a way, that makes it not entirely unlike any other day - there are just a lot more faces than usual.

[And out. He's going to finish his sandwich now, thanks.]



[ooc: COME AND GET HIM. Open to either Network or Action; hit him up at the cafe or after he leaves. I only ask for no doubles of House cast without permission annnnd that is all. He's from late season 3 but can forget whatever he needs to and has already been spoiled on his own future a bit XD]

[dr_conscience]

Been mingling with the locals?

[Voice;]

[red_on_rice]

I spoke to Greg.

[Voice;]

[dr_conscience]

Ah. So just the usual, then.

Did he explain where you are?

[Voice;]

[red_on_rice]

He and his mini-me seem to be in high spirits.

[Voice;]

[dr_conscience]

Oh, good. So you've seen Chase, too.

[Voice;]

[red_on_rice]

I don't suppose you can give me a better explanation.

[Voice;]

[dr_conscience]

I can probably phrase it more nicely?

If they told you that you're in an alternate dimension, they're not lying. And yes, I do realize that sounds insane.

[Voice;]

[red_on_rice]

A little nicer, but it's not much help.

Are you all right?

[That question isn't only about him.]

[Voice;]

[dr_conscience]

For the most part. It can be unpleasant and sometimes dangerous, but... we manage.

[He could have guessed.]

But, of course, we're used to it. Are you alright?

[Voice;]

[red_on_rice]

Aside from the headache and not having had my coffee, I'm fine.

[Voice;]

[dr_conscience]

Well, I'm sure that can be rectified. Have you eaten anything?

[Voice;]

[red_on_rice]

No, I was worried I might grow taller than my house.

[Voice;]

[dr_conscience]

Oh, no... not since they shut down that bakery. They had to, after what happened to the roof.

[Voice;]

[intheblanks]

What?

Re: [Voice;]

[intheblanks]

At least one of you has to be confusing me with Foreman. Shall I switch to video, or talk about my childhood without mentioning 'the streets'?

[Voice;]

[dr_conscience]

I'm fairly certain that was a joke. If we said Foreman, it would have just been a statement.

[Voice;]

[intheblanks]

I don't even work for the guy.

[Voice;]

[intheblanks]

What.

[Voice;]

[red_on_rice]

Oh, is he just writing your jokes for you?

[Voice;]

[intheblanks]

He gets under your skin, you have to impose the irritation elsewhere so you don't have to admit it. You know, I think I've heard this one before.

[Voice;]

[red_on_rice]

Are you offended by what I called you, or the fact that I said you were in high spirits?

[Voice;]

[intheblanks]

'He's in high spirits' is something you say about a hyperactive toddler. I'm not offended, but I'm interested you didn't assume I was just pleased to see you.

[Voice;]

[red_on_rice]

Were you just pleased to see me, Dr. Chase?

[Voice;]

[intheblanks]

Of course.

[Voice;]

[red_on_rice]

Well, it's a pleasure to see you, too.
