[Justin wakes up in a place that is definitely not his room. This, however, is a thing that he notices only after the initial wave of agonizing pain subsides. Looking at the video feed, a careful observer will notice that this doesn't look like Justin. There's something different about the face, the hair...]

What...

[He's in the Welcome Center in one of the guest beds. Therefore, it shouldn't be much of a surprise that Penny's voice can be heard in the background.]

Jimmy? Do you need more medicine?

I don't-- [Oh. Oh. Realization dawns--and is immediately derailed by pain. What the hell did Jimmy do?] Yes. Please.

Just give me a minute, okay?

Thanks.

[He notices the device's recording light. With a sigh that becomes a groan as moving proves to be a bad idea, Justin grabs the device. Before turning it off--]

Jimmy. I have something that belongs to you.


[ooc: Most pointless bodyswap of all time! Jimmy and Justin have swapped, Jimmy was clever enough to let House do a painful surgical procedure, and purple is Penny. Replies will come from ohcurses

I killed someone. Not alone, but I performed the actual murder.

[This is fairly common knowledge, at least among people Justin knows. No filter is necessary.]

Welcome to the club. It ain't a great club, I know, but hey.

[ohcurses]

Do you regret it?

[Jimmy makes the conversation private because he hasn't really discussed this with anyone here before.]

Depends on which one you're talkin' about. With some people, nah, it was what had to be done. Some of it, though, yeah, I regret it every day.

[Justin can sympathize. Sure, he only killed one person, but he didn't have any excuses. It's been years and he still regrets it.]

I wish I had some kind of practical advice for lessening regret.

Shit, if someone had that, we'd've heard of it by now, right?

[ohcurses]

Not if they weren't willing to share.

That'd be fucked up.
