Hopping up on the corner of Sven's desk, Keeli popped the other earbud out of her ear when Alex entered. Too much conversation for a musical background.
"If it was a party, there would be food. And good music." After a moment of thought, she announced, "We should have a party." Her suggestion was completely out of the realm of seriousness. She apparently felt Alex's usual bug of restlessness, because her mood and energy were up.
"I volunteer getaway-driver detail if he goes," she announced. Maybe getting out and into the action would do her good.

Alex threw a smile at Keeli, glad to have backup.
"Yeah, now you've got a team of two! Come on, you have to have something we can do. By the way, a party would not be unwelcome."
He leaned over the desk, resting his weight on his two hands placed firmly there. Just the idea of doing something was making him restless; Alex practically had to physically restrain himself.

"A party? Well alright I can bring some hard liquer if we do that. But right now I should be heading back to the clinic. Unless that is there is anything else you lot want to bother me with."
House hobled over to the door and pushed passed all those in his way. He stopped at the door way to wait and see if he would be bothered with anything else.

"Keep him bottled any longer and the poor kid's going to explode," Keeli agreed, sympathetic to Alex's plight. "And maybe while we're out we can pick up chips and sauce for a good jamboree. What'cha think, Boss?" She threw him a jaunty wink, unprepared for whether he'd even take the idea seriously or not. She wasn't even all the way serious, but when was she ever?

Sven grumbled in his chest as he listened to the banter of the small children. He sighed and plopped down into the chair behind his desk as he looked over to them. "No parties. We have a hard enough time keeping the snooping bastards above from finding their way down here. The French government does a good job of keeping them out of our hair, but since the Asylum is ol chums with every other country except Canada, it's getting harder."
He rose his hands up and rubbed the sides of his temples. He thought for something that the children would be able to do to keep them busy. He knew he was the same when he was their age, which is why he didn't just yell at them outright.
"Let me see here..." He picked up a small book and thumbed through the pages before smiling. "Well then, there is something you can do. Since we continually get back mangeled corpses, I want you to head out to the landfill and look around. I'm sure there will be some fresh new corpses today. Try to bring back the ones that aren't torn apart. And after that, you can come home to some hard liquire courtesy of good ol Dr. House here." Sven waved his hand over to the Doctor and smiled. He always drank too much anyway.

Corpses? French Government? Something was wrong here. Tony was able to pull himself up. The room was dark but he had grown accustomed to hiding in dark places and navigated his way around. Grabbing the knife he hid in his boot he slowly made his way his way toward the door.

Keeli couldn't say she would enjoy sifting around in a landfill, but it got her out of the house, and out of the house was a good thing. "Excellent! There's plenty of clubs to party at if we can't have one here. Better bring a change of clothes...maybe a portable shower," she added. Yeah...garbage smell might not go down so well.

"Well I can't exactly let you party here." He turned and heard the creaking of the floor. Sven smiled and leaned back in his old chair before turning to Keeli again.
"Before you go and do that, why don't you give a nice warm welcome to the young man next door. We found him knocked out. I think he's apart of the Canadian resistance. Probably was being transfered over when something happened. I'm sure he'd be happy to see a woman his age in such tight clothing."

She perked. "Tall, dark, and handsome? Sure thing, Boss." She hopped off the desk, adjusting her "such tight clothing" so that it clung nicely. She'd caught a glimpse of the man when they pulled him in, so she knew what to expect.
"Meet you out there in a minute, Alex," she said over her shoulder, sliding out the door and going into the room adjacent to it, knocking lightly before she entered to keep from startling him. "Hey, Canada, Boss says you're rousing."

Tony hide the knife behind his back, slipping it into his pocket. He looked at the girl infront of him. Her clothing was strange he hadn't seen people dress like that in years. Maybe he had been transported to what was France...maybe that's how they dressed here. " Canada? What are you talking about?" he said moving a bit closer. He hadn't been to North America in ages.

She shrugged. "Boss said something about Canada. I don't know." Beaming, she hitched her shoulder against the door frame and crossed one ankle over the other in the universal casual pose. "So, what's the story? Cliffnotes version, if you don't mind. I have to pick through garbage to find corpses pretty quick, but I might get to hit a club or two afterward if Alex is up to it. So what got you here?"

" I'm not part of the Canada branch or whatever you called it. I'm apart the Black Mesa Resistance in what was Russia. I as co-leading a team of rebels to a Combine warehouse where we got in over our heads. We where supposed to destroy a teleportation device they had. Instead I ended up using it to escape..." Tony said trying to focus on the here and now and not one the fact that. However this girl sounded strange to him. Corpses? Clubs? Did Clubs even exist anymore? And why the hell did she need corpse. Again he felt something was wrong...very wrong.

"Say tele-what now? Russia was still there last I checked." She pressed her lips together sympathetically. "Aw, crap, I better get Doc in here to check you out. I mean, he isn't exactly the most stable person in the world, kind of like a desk with only three legs, really, but he should know better than I do how to diagnose a rant on Russia and teleportation."
Catching her hand on the doorframe and leaning out into the hallway, she called, "Hey, Doc! We got a live on in here and he need's some loony prognosis or something."
She looked back at the guy. "I'm Keeli by the way. Keeli Darcy. Kee for short, if you prefer, but call me Keel and I'll have to kick your a**." She backed up her statement with a perky grin.

Alex grinned as Sven rejected the party idea, that was to be expected anyway. But even though the suggestion of corpse hunting wasn't really what he was looking for, Alex shrugged and accepted.
"Well, that's better than hanging around here any longer. Clubbing might do me some good anyway. Don't worry about the clothes and shower though, well have to bring back whatever we find. Might as well shower and change here, then hit the scene."
He nodded to Keeli as she went to greet the stranger, and quickly excused himself from the two older men. Keeli seemed to be amusing herself with the possible Russian, and Alex glanced in over her shoulder to introduce himself.
"So you're Russian then? Huh, the Russians were more aggressive last time I ran into one. Name's Alexander Baron, loyal hound and proud American." He twisted slightly and pointed a finger at the tattoo on his neck, proudly displaying his allegiance.

House went over to the new guy, ignoring all the others and lifted the guy head with his cane to look at his face.
"If you are new you will need a checkup, my office tomorrow."
He turned around, not waiting for a response. and made it back to Sven.
"I sometimes wonder if you are getting too old for this. You seem to be. I myself only ind joy in showing these kids that they will get themselves killed if they don't wise up."
