Constellation 06

[Arthur is pacing on the Plane, dressed in a much nicer suit than usual. He seems to be muttering something to himself, and pauses a moment to look down at his tie, frowning he undoes it completely, then slowly begins to retie it.]   -terms space and time have not only a vague descriptive reference to a boundless void and an ever-rolling stream, but denot the exact quantitative system of reckoning distances and time-intervals...[He finishes and seems satisfied for a moment, then just sighs and begins all over again]

[Arthur looks very Not Happy at that, frowning] That's a bit...violent, isn't it, for a game?

[house-1-god-0.livejournal.com]

That's the point. I get to kill fake people instead of real ones.

{A quote comes to mind here: "Does my breath smell bated to you?"}

[scienceandgod.livejournal.com]

Why would you want to kill at all?

[house-1-god-0.livejournal.com]

People are annoying.

[scienceandgod.livejournal.com]

That's hardly a reason to turn the violence.

[house-1-god-0.livejournal.com]

Not really. It's still amusing, though.

That has to be a giant irony. The doctor that saves real people but kills fictional ones. Oh, and in the hood. That's important.

[scienceandgod.livejournal.com]

...I'm sorry, 'in the hood'?

[house-1-god-0.livejournal.com]

Right, prude, I forgot.

The slums. Places infected by crime.

...I would say ghetto, but that would be tasteless.

[scienceandgod.livejournal.com]

I don't think I've heard people use that word. Ghetto.

[house-1-god-0.livejournal.com]

You will, don't worry. Or do worry. Either or, really.

[scienceandgod.livejournal.com]

Do you know much abut my time period?

[house-1-god-0.livejournal.com]

Yep. Enough to the point of any modern science fiction telling me that I shouldn't tell you about it because I could "change the future".

And leave it to the person I tell to screw it up. Hey, if you're going to change the future, at least tilt it in the pill-popping cripple's favor. I could use a new bike.

[scienceandgod.livejournal.com]

Well, I might not be from your same universe. And the Doctor has already assured me that most likely, whatever changes are caused to my time line won't cause any actual damage to the time stream itself.

And the both of them have already told me quite a bit about my own future, as well as the world's in general.

[house-1-god-0.livejournal.com]

Hey, you don't go against what Star Trek and Twilight Zone teach you. That's just wrong.

[scienceandgod.livejournal.com]

Star Trek and.....Twilight Zone?

[house-1-god-0.livejournal.com]

...God, what do you do to entertain yourself?

[scienceandgod.livejournal.com]

I ride my bike, normally, or play sports. I also find reading to be rather enjoyable.

[house-1-god-0.livejournal.com]

...Man, anything before the 60s is lame. Thankfully, I was not born in a time of primitive entertainment.

[scienceandgod.livejournal.com]

What do you do for entertainment, Mr. House? Aside from these video games and television, I'm assuming.

[house-1-god-0.livejournal.com]

Video games, television, pulling pranks on Wilson, solving cases, skipping clinic duty, avoid getting shot or punched. My life is a riot.

[scienceandgod.livejournal.com]

Are you often hurt?

[house-1-god-0.livejournal.com]

...Define often.

[scienceandgod.livejournal.com]

On a regular basis, enough to warrant a mention.

[house-1-god-0.livejournal.com]

Well, I got punched within the last year.

[scienceandgod.livejournal.com]

Oh, well that's not too bad I suppose.

I received a bloody nose or two the last handful of years, during the Great War.
