a meme that gives me something to do

The first fifteen people to respond to this post can request a ficlet from me.

(You have two choices: House or whatever falls out of my head today. But since I'm about to be hopped up on Sudafed, this whole exercise promises to be interesting.)

Edit: okay, have now reached the limit; i'll be posting these sporadically over the next few days.

I only speak of Nami, I hear you saying. You ask me why. I do not generally speak of myself, but if you wish, I will do so.

I can dance, like all of our profession, and play the samisen and the koto; I can serve tea as prettily as you please to exhausted salarymen, and make conversation of all sorts.

It is only in my off hours that I am at all remarkable, or even particularly interesting, for it is then that I suit up and bind myself to the codes and databases that make our society run: the newscasts that flow through roads and buildings, the palpable stream of money that washes between the worlds' banks like a fat river teeming with silver salmon, the strobe-coded hangouts of Harajuku's teenagers with their knife-thin avatar suits projecting an alternate perfection.

From the safety of my tatami I move, manipulate, embellish; I am anonymous and subtle. And when the salarymen come and chatter about the latest news of banking fraud I smile and offer them tea.

Author's Note: For shutterbug_12, who asked for House/Cuddy friendship. Hopefully this suits. Someday I'll write Cuddy without being nervous about whether I'm getting characterization right, but that day is not today.

i'm just zis girl you know? (for purplewaxhand)

purplewaxhand requested 'you (me) as House's clinic patient.' Okay. *shrug* I take all challenges seriously.

I own me and I'm part owner of the little autistic kid. Everything else, I'm just playing with.
