House has a hospital nowIf you want him, he'll be inside, limping around inspecting things. Any expired meds get thrown in the trash. He's also got a list of machines that need looking-at. Wherever Fluffy Teleportation Guy got this place, he's impressed. The building is small but well equipped

Strange new hospital onna farm! Of course he's going to go and investigate it.

Presently, Steve walks in on House doing his Housey thing. "Oh! Sorry. Thought I was the only one in here."

[truth_sometimes]

ee wheely chair eeee oh wait people?

"Well," he says, raising his eyebrows at Steve and stopping his spin by way of application of cane to desk, "you were wrong. What do you want?"

[eureka_bell]

"A dirty great hospital appeared on my back door," Steve explains. "Thought I'd make sure it didn't have any hideous monsters in it, eh?"

He's only half-joking.

[truth_sometimes]

"Thank the Irish guy. The one who needs a comb."

Thoughtful look.

"Hey, did you say at the meeting you fix things?"

[eureka_bell]

"I did," he confesses. Being a genius and all.

With a grin: "Think you can afford my services?"

[truth_sometimes]

"Sorry," snorts House. "My taste in hookers runs strictly to the ones with breasts. And if you have breasts, I don't want to know about them."

As he speaks he's folding a piece of paper into an expertly constructed airplane, which he tosses lightly at Steve's head.

"Make yourself useful to the community and fix my medical equipment."

[eureka_bell]

Steve just had his weight made fun of and got hit in the head with a paper plane, all in the space of a single tag. How did this happen? D:

"...a simple 'please' would've done."

[truth_sometimes]

"Yes, but then I'd be trying to hide how much of an ass I am, and that's just wrong."

[eureka_bell]

Steve stoops to pick up the grounded paper plane. The fact that this means he doesn't have to look at House is sheer coincidence. "No, I'd say it's--"

Beat. He straightens up, plane in hand.

"Your medical equipment?"

[truth_sometimes]

"It says Doctor Gregory House on the door. Or it will, when I've made the sign."

Now all he needs are some good minions.

[eureka_bell]

"Medical doctor?"

Yes, hospital, but it's best to check these things.

"You'd like this guy I know. His blood can heal people. I'd love to find out the extent of it."

[truth_sometimes]

Eyeroll.

"No, I just asked for a hospital because the beds are comfy. Yes, I'm a medical doctor. Specialising in infectious disease and nephrology."

He's just going to blatantly ignore any suggestion that he interact with Creepy Monochromatic Guy.

[eureka_bell]

Steve makes an eeergh noise, and pretends his intelligence didn't just get insulted.

"Hopefully there won't be any diseases. There's so many people living here now."

And at such close quarters. It wouldn't be barrels of fun.

[truth_sometimes]

"Well, looks like somebody took my advice about the bathrooms. And as soon as someone can get this place hooked up to power and plumbing, we might just be in business, figuratively speaking."

[eureka_bell]

"I hope you don't expect me to do all that? I've never plumbed before, and I already have projects on the go."

Also, you're mean to him.

[truth_sometimes]

"I expect somebody to. Whether it's you, our lame excuse for a construction team, or a pack of flying monkeys, I really don't care."
