There were other people in the apartment building.

People that didn't socialize, or throw coffee gigs, or emo at their sekrit crushes. People that weren't busy with babies -- well, actually, this person was sometime busy with babies. But only rarely, when the gyno couldn't be arsed to play pediatrician on the side, too

Flashing lightbulbs call for investigation, and it doesn't take Link long to track down something odder than usual in the apartment building.

"What are you doing?" Link asks, not exactly politely, from the doorway.

[badsidemanner]

House's look at Link can be summed up in Oh, god, a kid.

"Big people work," he replies, sitting on the tiled floor of a kitchen with computer parts strewn over it. (Lack of static for the win.)

[kokiriboy]

"Uh-huh," Link nods and comes inside, sidling up against a counter to watch House fiddle with whatever the heck he was fiddling with.

"But really, what're you doing?" Link asks again, blithely as he can manage.

[badsidemanner]

"I told you," he says as he continues to workk, not bothering to look at Link. "Big toys for big boys. Gotta have a badass system if I'm gonna gank newbs in the battlegrounds."

...what? You don't think he knows about MMORPGS?

Bad House. No cookie.

You know, when lightbulbs start a-flashin', engineers come a-runnin'. Thus, there is noise out in the hallway, then darkness, then more noise of tinkering, then soft, confused mumbling, then the hallway goes back to flickering light...

And Sokka pokes his head into the room with arched brows and his makeshift toolbox in hand.

"...What are you doing?"

They've only had flexies before - he's never seen an actual computer.

[badsidemanner]

"Working. Why are you asking stupid questions?"

[notanoptimist]

"Because your work is making all the lights flicker and people whine at me," Sokka replies, pointing to the ceiling with a screwdriver.

Then he's coming in. 'Cause House didn't tell him not to.

"Where'd you get all these?"

[badsidemanner]

"Around. You know, people just left crap all ove the place before they ran off to die who knows where," House replies as he works on another box. "And it's important work, so they can deal with not seeing their Chinese books they can't even read."
