Video; open + locks, a few hours after the earthquakes

[where_the_hearth_is]

[The video pans across a table completely covered in muffins, arranged into neat, cheery baskets, artistically arranged by color in a shallow pyramid. There are all manner of strange and strangely healthy flavors: raspberry lime muffins, zucchini basil muffins, blue corn muffins, ginger pumpkin muffins, and more. A little mechanical droid carefully adds another batch to the pile, still hot and steaming faintly. When the smooth voice comes, it is quiet, uncertain, almost ashamed.]

...I think I made too many muffins.

Does. Um. Anyone want some?

[Privated separately to Wanda, Dr. Orpheus, Loki, and Lucifer. Its sounds nervous.]

Is there any magical method that would guarantee perfectly repairing architectural damage?

Why exactly did you make that many?

Re: video/private/unhackable;

[where_the_hearth_is]

It is comforting.

I do not think I am done.

Comforting? Why do you need it?

[ Who is eating everything in sight these days...? ]

I want a muffin!

[where_the_hearth_is]

Oh yes. Of course. Would you like to come by? I worry about asking my usual delivery pony to fly in this sort of weather.

[deathknellgrell]

I'd LOVE to come by~♥

How many muffins do you have?

[Okay, forgetting the muffins because lol vampire, but everything else has her interest very peaked.]

Excuse me, but are you a talking house?

[video]

[where_the_hearth_is]

Oh, um, yes. That's me.

[...n-not even the apple bran? :C ]

[manicpixiedreamgirl]

[Ohmygoodness.]

That is so cool. Are you fully automated and everything?

[No, sorry. She only drinks blood. :(]

[ *A* mechanical droid

oh also *A* muffins ]

I don't mind taking some, if you still have any!

Re: voice;

[where_the_hearth_is]

[The voice is jumpy, sort of nervous and distracted.]

Oh yes. Please. Feel free. Take as many as you like.

I'm going to bake some more.

[greenshift]

You are? It kind of seems like you have a lot of muffins already.

[whitefeathered]

. . . House, that's amazing!

[where_the_hearth_is]

Oh, er, yes, thank you. Please do help yourself!

[whitefeathered]

[Aoko . . . probably has never seen so many muffins in her life.]

Were you experimenting?

Kaito should like them too, so I'm sure we can take a few.

[thehighcost]

Oooooh, muffins! I'd love some muffins! [because someone was hit by Gluttony.]

[video]

[where_the_hearth_is]

Please do come help yourself!

[It's a little strained, rather than it's usual effusive tone.]

[thehighcost]

[Free muffins? She's there, already grabbing one.] What's wrong, House? You sound down.

[scarlet_kitsch]

Perfectly repairing architectural damage... [tilts her head, considering] Hmmm, well, magic can do just about anything, so I don't see why a spell couldn't provide you with that...

[shakes her head] Sadly, it would be beyond my ability. [Said somewhat bitterly. It hurts her amped up pride to admit that.]

[video]

[where_the_hearth_is]

Thank you for information.

[video]

[scarlet_kitsch]

[That polite but curt response peaks her interest.]

I'm curious. Why did you want to know? I thought you were self-maintaining. Is something wrong? [a little concerned now]

[Iroh has just been scruffing down muffins since House started making them, he couldn't seem to help himself. He enjoyed eating certainly, but he was already quite full and was still having more]

These are very delicious muffins, House. My compliments to the baker!

Action

[where_the_hearth_is]

Thank you.

[Keeping its people happy is soothing like nothing else, even if it's still terrified about it's servers.]

[gavesugar]

Aye, 'twould be lovely to have some small treat.

[She talks to Lions. She's trying not to freak out over talking to a house.]

[video]

[where_the_hearth_is]

You are quite welcome to come over, Miss. I've made plenty.

[Don't worry, it's a nice House! Even if it's scared and preoccupied just now.]
