((OOC: I'm going to be away in London/Paris/Bangkok until the 12th of January, and I'm not going to be able to get a lot of internet access, so my pup's taking off for the unknown!))
House hated the holidays. He hated the sudden cheerfulness that everybody seemed to adopt, hated that all sins seemed to be forgiven for a week or so, hated the ridiculous commercialized Santa and all the schemes to squeeze money out of everyone from the rich to the single-mother surviving on a diet of Spaghetti-O's and crack.
He especially hated the present giving. Not that anybody actually tried to give him things, really, but it took too much effort to grouch at the few people that expected something from him. House had no idea why they expected anything from him, it wasn't as if he radiated holiday joy and the spirit of giving.
Which is why he decided to up and leave for three weeks, to a place that he knew would be a lot less festive at this time of year. House didn't send out any owls to inform anybody that he was leaving, no notes, he didn't tell anybody in person, and he'd timed his escape very carefully so that he wouldn't run into somebody in the halls.
And with surprising silence and stealth for a man with a cane, House was gone.

A strange, imposing figure glides into the Sorting room and glances around incuriously. When it speaks, its voice is deep and sonorous, its words accompanied by a strange babble of fainter, incomprehensible voices.

I have read the
hogwarts_hocus faq, and understand it is a crazy, cracktastic sorting community and RPG. K.
I have read the
hogwarts_hocus rules and agree to abide by each and every one of them. K.
I agree to be a good sport and not get myknickers encounter suit in a bunch. K.
One day, marmalade will rule the world. Yes.
