It's almost comforting, inasmuch as anything could be here, to see that some things are regular occurrences.

Not that there's much comfort to be found in it raining photos all day -- again. Though that's a constant, too, isn't it? The invasion of everyone's privacy. You would hope that it might afford everyone a little more respect for each others' private moments that the City happens to dig up, knowing that theirs are out there just the same.

Which isn't to say that I actually expect it to, of course.

Well. At least they weren't all horrible.

[filtered to Chase and Cameron]

House's bike is ready, so I figured I would ask if either of you had any preferences for when and how it's delivered.

Thought you might want to be around; to get your credit personally, if nothing else.


[ooc: Wilson found this picture and has kept it. :3 Because he actually sort of knows who Amber is. (Thank you, City's weird sense of time, for confusing the hell out of my S3 Wilson and letting him know how much his life will suck. ...no seriously, I love it.) That being said, I know it wasn't in my original list, but anyone who might like for their character to have found it, feel free? /shrug]

All in all, with the exception of a few, the pictures weren't too bad, except the one I found of you threw me for a minute.

[vicodincrutch.livejournal.com]

With or without the antlers?

[adamantined]

It's better to rain pictures than cats and dogs.

Or deer.

[dr_conscience]

Well, that sounds like something I'm not sure I want to know.

[thenormalsquint]

I always wondered what happened to Tessa. I didn't know you knew her.

[dr_conscience]

Antlers classify as horrible.

audio;

[dr_conscience]

You know, I'm starting to get the feeling that I'm not going to live this down.

[dr_conscience]

Tessa? I... don't think I do.

audio;

[thenormalsquint]

I think you do. She's in this picture with you. Long blonde hair, white coat... looks like Tessa to me.

audio;

[dr_conscience]

Actually, if you found the picture I think you did... that's Amber.

audio;

[adamantined]

You should've just tried to pass it off as Neil.

audio;

[thenormalsquint]

[A pause and then the shuffling of paper as she turns the photo everywhichway.]

Amber? Who's Amber?

audio;

[dr_conscience]

I think he ruined that option for me. I probably shouldn't have said anything at all.

audio;

[dr_conscience]

It's... complicated.

[There's a pause as he tries to figure out how to put this... highly convoluted story he barely understands.]

She, apparently, will be my girlfriend. I've only met her here, though.

audio;

[adamantined]

I think if you hadn't said anything he still would've been able to ruin that option for you. And then you just would've looked suspicious due to said silence.

audio;

[thenormalsquint]

Somebody from the future. I see.

[She's nodding; he can't hear it or see it, but Angela accepts wacky things like that happening here.]

Tessa was Booth's ex-girlfriend. I don't think you met him while he was here, but Tessa could be Amber's identical twin.

audio;

[dr_conscience]

So I should have responded, but feigned complete bewilderment?

[Likewise Filtered]

[as_damaged]

He'd probably prefer if a big deal wasn't made about it...

audio;

[dr_conscience]

I love how casually you can say things like that here.

Well, that's certainly nothing new. I've got a small collection on the right day.

audio;

[adamantined]

Yes. Or -

[Pause. Consider.]

Just stopped in the middle of a highway at night or ate some corn in a field or something.

audio;

[thenormalsquint]

It used to feel weird saying it, but after Brennan told me I do something in the future, it kind of became old hat to me. [Pause.] Well, no, I'm lying. I'm still trying to figure things out.

Yeah, other than the little kid around here, I met one that whined about looking seventeen for the rest of his life.

[Likewise Filtered]

[dr_conscience]

Well, obviously. Actually, one of the options I was considering was having it left outside the clinic one day.

If we're giving him the option.

audio;

[dr_conscience]

[Sigh. Not an entirely unamused one.]

Unfortunately, the shortage of cars would also mean a shortage of headlights to stare at, unmoving.

audio;

[adamantined]

I'm sure there's a really fast bicycle with a reflector around here somewhere.

[If she sounded anymore amused she would be blatantly laughing.]

I'm sorry. It's just... so funny.

audio;

[dr_conscience]

I don't think it's something that can be figured out, really. House, Chase, Cameron and I are all from close to the same time now, but none of us quite match up.

Oh, yes, the vampire. Jeremy. He does tend to whine, doesn't he?
