Obituary
| Obituary | |||
The town of Norfinbury publishes obituaries over the network every two IC days (six OOC days). If your character dies for any reason (due to IC actions, as part of a hiatus, or as a result of being idled/dropped), you are required to report their death here. Due to the time-sensitive nature of the obituaries, we ask that you do not backdate deaths into a prior obituary period, and please be mindful when you plot a character death. Characters who have died as a result of IC actions will revive at erratic times. Additionally, upon revival, they will suffer a temporary loss of a major sense, ability, emotion, or memory for a minimum of three OOC days and a maximum of one OOC month. Moderators will roll for the amount of OOC days (between one and seven) until your character revives. We will reply to your report with the day and time that your character will revive as well as where they will be reviving. However, we will not be deciding what your character loses as a result of their death. If you are submitting a character death for your hiatus, please tell us the OOC date that you will be returning. | |||

Canon Update: To the end of Season 2
The major events that occur from House's canon point to the new one revolve predominantly around House's relationship with his ex-girlfriend, Stacy Warner, House acquiring a pet rat, one of his fellows becoming potentially infected with HIV, another fellow becoming infected with a deadly disease, his third fellow killing a patient after a mistake, and an encounter with a former patient's husband who shot and nearly killed House.
Stacy - At the end of the first season, House first waffles, then agrees to help Stacy cure her ailing husband. He diagnoses the husband and puts Mark on the road to recovery. Cuddy, the hospital admin, seeing that House can seemingly tolerate being around Stacy, hires Stacy as legal counsel for the hospital. Stacy and House end up working quite a bit together and House is reminded of why he fell in love with her in the first place, but his resentment over what he perceives as her role in his crippled leg flares up more than once.
Regardless of her marital status, House begins to court Stacy, even going so far as to try to help her get rid of a rat in her attic. Instead of killing the rat, House ends up catching it and keeping it as a pet that he names Steve McQueen. While Stacy begins to, once more, return House's feelings, they both vacillate back and forth on their attraction, with Stacy first denying her interest before coming to accept it. She tells House that he was "the one" and she regrets what happened between them because she still loves him.
In the end, though, when Stacy finally decides that she wants to leave her husband and be with House, House is the one who puts his foot down. House is not a naturally self-sacrificial person. It clearly pains him, but he decides to finally be the grown-up. He tells Stacy that she is honestly better off without him, instead with the man who will always be there for her. Mark is that man.
Cameron and HIV - Cameron in one episode is coughed on by an HIV positive patient and ends up getting his blood in her mouth. She panics about getting a follow-up HIV test and becomes progressively more reckless because of her fear about it. House eventually forces the matter, playing as a father figure to Cameron and helping her to come back down to earth.
Foreman and the Brain Disease - House also faces the closest call he's ever had with one of his fellows. Foreman becomes infected with a deadly disease and the case becomes incredibly personal for House after House sends Foreman to examine a patient's home. We see how he reacts with more caution when it's someone he honestly cares about on the line, and not just a stranger. House even puts himself to the hazard, going to the patient's house to find out how the patient was infected, even though that's how Foreman was infected in the first place.
Chase and the Mistake - Chase is, perhaps, House's least favorite fellow. After a major mistake causes a patient to die, Chase is fingered as the one responsible. As a result of House's poor oversight, Foreman is put in charge of the diagnostics department over House for a couple of weeks. House works to make Foreman's life as miserable as humanly possible out of this, and eventually, Foreman is just happy to relinquish control, reestablishing the old order.
Moriarty - In the final episode of the season, House is shot in the stomach and neck by a former patient's husband, Jack Moriarty. During the course of his wife's treatment, House discovered that Moriarty had had an affair and he convinced the other man that it was important information to share in order to get to the diagnosis. It isn't. While House cures his wife, she goes home and commits suicide. Moriarty deems House responsible, but doesn't want to kill him, just wants to make him suffer. House engages in several philosophical debates with Moriarty throughout the episode, trying to get him to accept that his search for absolute truth and that callous way of telling the unvarnished truth makes him responsible for the pain and suffering that comes of it. He does, eventually, admit to being in the wrong and apologize.
House is in a fever dream most of the episode, working through a mysterious case. He perceives the nature of the fever dream as him losing his own mind due to a potential treatment for his leg. House completely panics, lashing out at Cuddy and Wilson for going through with the potential treatment without House's consent. He rails at them, telling them that all he has is his brain and without it, he's nothing. He goes through wondering how he can know what's real if he can't trust any of his senses. He comes to the conclusion that doing nothing can prevent hurting other people. He has to trust others to take actions. However, he does eventually decide that he must take action to escape the hallucination. He directly tells his own subconscious "it's not real, therefore it's meaningless. I want meaning."
The season ends with him handing info about the leg treatment off to his fellows while he's rushed to surgery for the gunshot wounds.
