[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 toand has already been spoiled on his own future a bit XD]

[He means that; he knows that a familiar face is a welcome sight when you wind up in the City, but after you've been here for years, seeing one that you haven't seen for even longer...
He'd like to ask when she came from, what was happening - and he will, of course, but it hardly seems like a topic he should go right into. So he smiles, gesturing to a side.]
So. Something spicy?
no subject
[Not that it's that bad. She looks away to slip the folder back into her bag, then stands to size him up, wondering exactly what a while means.]
So you're all right? In spite of being stuck... here, I mean.
[It's hard to characterize this impossible place, which is why she hesitates. Also why she can't help but be a bit doubtful.]
no subject
More or less.
[It's said in a light, well-humored tone, so it sounds perfectly normal coming from him. And, at the moment, it's true. If she's here for a day or two, there's no reason to go into the dark, sordid details.]
I hope you didn't get pulled away from anything too pressing - not that you'll notice having been gone when you go back, but I know it can be frustrating.
no subject
[That in a quieter tone. She isn't easy to rattle, and she's good at keeping it under wraps when she is; but under the circumstances, who could be at ease?]
You'll have to show me around after, so I can see all the fun I'm missing.
