[He's been putting this off for a while now, but Wilson has to be with her by this point. Either that or he's taking his sweet ass time about getting to the chick he's apparently madly in love with.]
hey, legs
think we should probably lay down some ground-rules
dunno what wilson's told you
but let's just get this out of the way
it's 2005
i have no idea who you are
except for what he's told me
and everything about you that screams self-esteem issues meet ambition meet shamelessness
cutthroat bitch really is highly appropriate
he's from your future, too
which means we're just all screwed over on timelines here
so
rule 1: he dies, it's your fault
rule 2: you break him, i'll break you
rule 3: you tell people anything about future me, i will find out, and you won't like it
i think that covers most of the basics

[She was wondering when this was going to happen.]
It may surprise you to learn that I have no desire in divulging your deepest, darkest secrets to the populace at large. You're not that interesting, and I highly doubt anyone here who hates you enough to want to blackmail you or get under your skin (I'm guessing mostly everyone with your track record) is useful enough for me to want to trade them.
[Yes. Cutthroat Bitch really is highly appropriate.]
I'm not going to do anything to hurt him.

given it's doubtful you know any of my deepest, darkest secrets
i think we're cool there
[He really has no idea, but the challenge is there for her to prove otherwise if she does have any dirt.]
so what are you doing to help us get out of here?
[Because he'll put you to work if you're not being productive enough, Amber.]

I doubt Wilson told you everything about me.
[Believe what you want, House. Hopefully, you'll believe she does have some good dirt. Amber likes the idea of being a threat, even if she's not.]
Not enough. Still learning the map.
Any suggestions?
Something that's not being covered?

[Things that she can do that won't put Wilson in undue danger. Because of course he'll be following her around like a puppy. Hmm...]
what part of town are you in?
what part of town are you in?
Left the school yesterday morning, heading back into the ice tunnels, possibly going downtown.
[Hmm...]
There's a hotel down there. One of the rooms has a bunch of the eye symbols drawn on the walls. I want you to see what's under them. Wilson's got an arsenal you can use to take down the walls.

[A strange task, but this is a strange place. In the end, it's fitting.]
Alright. Anywhere in the tunnels worth looking at on the way?

might be worth it to stop into 126, the basement
there are shadows there that come alive when you light a fire
don't light one
obviously
but try the eye symbol down there
see if it gets you anywhere

[Well that doesn't sound dangerous or unappealing at all. Yikes.]
Basement, eye symbol, avoid fires. Got it.
I'll talk to Wilson about what we can use for the walls.

he'll let me know what you find
so this was fun
but don't bother me unless you've got something to say that he won't

Wow.
[This is pretty cool coming from the guy who messaged her first. Not too long ago, she would've shut her mouth and let him say whatever he wanted, but her job's not really on the line anymore.]
I'm sure he will.
Enjoy your puzzle, House.

what the hell happened to him, you completely useless idiot?
[A great way to start off another horrible day. At least she was given fair warning that this would happen. Not that it makes he feel any better. Amber steels herself for how the rest of this conversation is going to inevitably go.]
We were attacked by an anomaly.

what did it look like?
when did it happen?
what did you both do?
did you just cut and run?
i mean
self-interest is your thing
i get it
i want details
not broad strokes

[Okay. Hold on. Excuse me?]
I didn't abandon him at the first sign of danger.
I didn't push him down, steal his rations, and run.

i asked for what you did do
not what you didn't
keep up, cutthroat bitch

I am keeping up.
What does it matter what I did do when no matter what I have to say it's my fault?

fine
i don't actually care what you did
tell me what happened
specifically
what did the anomaly look like?
where were you when it happened?
what did HE do?

It all happened within the span of several seconds, so I didn't get a very good look at it.
We were downtown, on our way to the hotel.
It came out of the snow in front of us, he threw me behind him, and it ate him.
He was gone by the time I got my bearings in the snow.
((ooc: ALSO NOTE I don't know the specifics yet since I'm waiting for my movements to get up so I can submit a monster encounter request so if anything changes I'll let you know.))

Yes.
[Amber, meanwhile, having only really interacted with Ecks by text before, isn't exactly sure where this is coming from. Is she just hoping that they have all their doctors?]

[Of course he threw her out of the way. God damn it. If he'd been alone...]
i stand by the assessment
useless
prove me wrong
find something else
and if he comes back
find an excuse to stay away from him
you're a liability

[It hurts. Amber wish it didn't hurt. She wishes that his words didn't get to her as much as they do. She finds herself, again, trying to convince herself that she doesn't care. This is happening too often. How does he always know the most perfect, awful thing to say to get under a person's skin?]
Fine.
He'll be all yours.
[She wants to add that she doesn't need him, anyway. That she'd rather be alone. That he wasn't starting to get to her with all his talk of the future and the time they were going to spend together, and how nice it had sounded and that she was starting to be able to actually imagine it. That she could see herself being with him for real.
It would just be a lie. And House doesn't need the fodder to torment her.]
