Hoshi was found in the medical ward in Royal Base to get more supplies for her first aid kit that she carried everywhere she went. However, she overheard House and looked up from getting a few things.
Shrugging, she walked over with more bandaids than she could count in her hands. "Problem?" she asked, smiling.
Well, not so much again, but more "as usual". He hated being stuck on paperwork, and lately that's all he'd been doing, stuck at a desk job.
He was bored.
So, to kill his boredom he figured he had to go to a vending machine. One that was across the base and in the medical ward where he could easily get distracted talking to House and pick up a Marsmon bar, which were as far as he could see only available in that one vending machine.
...OK, so they weren't, but hey, he could say he'd been working so hard he wasn't seeing right, or something. He was a master of talking himself out of shit and he'd be damned if he couldn't once again.
Course he was also a master of talking himself into shit, but he'd prefer not to think of that.
And, just his luck, the ONE vending machine he wanted and it was out of order.

"You're a real credit to your agency," House said, and then grunted, leaning against the vending machine. He surveyed the passersby, looking for someone who looked capable enough to break and enter into the machine. Bumming money off of someone was also an option, but he couldn't watch TV in the mess hall. So that was only a last resort.

Bleeding.
"Yes," he said, somewhat deadpan, still staring at the snack machine. "Someone needs to fire the maintainance guy that takes care of these things."

"Y- you're not going to SMASH that or anything, are you...?" Steve asked nervously. "I mean, that'd probably make the Commanders mad and-"
House smacked him in the back with his cane to shut the mouse up.

Figured in a building with giant wasps flying about that the glass would be much thicker.
"Well, that's 'bout all I can do."
