004 {Audio/Text] Backdated to early morning

[manicpixiedreamgirl]

[At first the feed is just a data scrawl, much like the one House broadcast after Loki accidentally sliced it up on April Fool's day.

Except this isn't House. ]

WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON.

[Nope, not House.

It doesn't even rightly sound like it. The normally smooth, pleasant tone has been replaced by a strange wavering between emotionless and panicking.

Alice is having a major freak out, at least as much as one can have in the form of an artificially intelligent house.]

WHERE AM I. WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED. I WAS JUST IN MY MY HOUSE READING AND SUDDENLY I'M HERE I THIS THING. WHAT-

I THINK I'M A ROBOT, OH MY GOD OH MY-

[And then there's more data scrawl, but not for very long. She's developing at least some control in this "body", so she pulls it together long enough to make one last plea.]

Help me.



[OOC: Alice is in the "body" of House. Those residing in it might be awoken by yelling throughout the building. :3]

[The NV reads simply 'M' - but if Alice looks through House's databanks, it's linked with 'Michael Xavier' and 'Eli Jacobson'.]

House? House dear, what's wrong?

[manicpixiedreamgirl]

[When she learns how to look through the databanks, you are in so much trouble.]

I'm not House, and I have no idea. How the hell can this happen?

[magnetic_magpie]

[He's always in trouble.]

Who are you? You are posting from House.

voice

[manicpixiedreamgirl]

[You'd think he should be more concerned about that.]

My name is Alice, and yes I know I'm posting from Hoise. I don't know how I got in it.

Video

[tea_lover64]

Uh, House what ever is the matter?

[He has been woken up by the yelling]

Voice

[manicpixiedreamgirl]

[Sorry Iroh.]

I'm not House! My name is Alice.

Oh god, I'm ever going to be able to get out of here.

Video

[tea_lover64]

[And now he is pretty much making this face]

How did that happen?! Relax, I'm sure you will be fine.

voice;

[bratziska]

[ Some people were just trying to scroll through the network posts in relative peace - Franziska's response is almost reflexive. ]

Do you have to be so loud?!

voice;

[manicpixiedreamgirl]

What would you do if you were suddenly stuck in the body of an artificially intelligent house?

Well, at least she's getting better at modulating her "voice". It sounds almost normal now. Still panicked, but at least she doesn't sound like she's malfunctioning.]

voice;

[bratziska]

[What.]

You - that's ridiculous!

Video

[needtobecleaned]

[Yeah, KOS-MOS was already up. Yeshu wasn't though and the kitten bolts at the sound of yelling.]

House? Are you alright?

voice

[manicpixiedreamgirl]

I'm not House.

[How many times does she have to say it, oh my god people.]

I was minding my own business and suddenly I was...in House?

voice

[needtobecleaned]

[Well, it's not like KOS-MOS makes a habit of watching other conversations.]

If you are not House, who are you?

[voice]

[madeinoblivion]

What prank did somebody pull on you this time?

voice

[manicpixiedreamgirl]

I have no clue, but this isn't funny and it needs to stop now.

Re: voice

[madeinoblivion]

Did you upset an enchantress? Or maybe you discovered a new power.

[mouthbreathing]

You think you're a robot? Isn't that something you would know?

[text]

[manicpixiedreamgirl]

Most of the time I'm a person, so this is all new to me.

[Well, for certain values of "person".]

[text]

[mouthbreathing]

You're not in pain, are you? You sounded distraught.

[but then he can't resist adding:] By the way, robots are 'people' too.

[dialogic]

There's a difference between the field of robotics and that of artificial intelligence.
You're not a robot.
You're also not House.
Who is this?

[manicpixiedreamgirl]

Alice.

Do you have any idea what happened?

[dialogic]

Fuck no, but give me the details and I'll jam them through my mad jazzed search algorithms shoot you what I got.
I'll be your sidekick sleuth.
You know, the one who actually solves everything for you so you can proudly stand before an audience and blurt out an answer.
Besides doing shit all and suddenly waking up a thousand percent better, what did you do that you don't normally do within the last few days?

voice;

[littlepinksuitcase]

[Blink. Blink.]

Aren't you normally a robot? Or...a robot-house, I suppose?

voice; i apologize for how late this is

[manicpixiedreamgirl]

[By now, she's calmed to the point where she's not snapping anymore. Stil, the answer is a bit crisp.]

Most of the time I'm a vampire.

Video; sob I am so sorry for how late this is, orz.

[where_the_hearth_is]

[Alice's own face, when it appears, is pinched, haggard. No paler than usual, of course, but deeply troubled. House stares at the camera with a low, unblinking intensity, as though personally, tragically offended that it has to use one.]

You're not a robot. I'm much larger and more complicated than the most advanced robot, and to quite different purposes.

[Which isn't actually helpful at all, but House is too upset right now to really reign in it's own ego. After a beat, a puzzled moment when it remembers to breath in again so that it has more air to speak with -]

Try not to panic.

[Hypocritical, perhaps, but the best advice it has.]
