[log] i'm gonna do an impression of you alright here's you [closed]
Characters: Brian, Davesprite, Jade, and Sora
Location: the shed and the school possibly, AKA buildings 29 & 30
Date: evening of day 165/all of day 166
Summary: Some folks spend the night in a shed and Davesprite tries to break up Snowhell's cutest notcouple.
Warnings: I don't think so, but Davesprite and Jade might broach some heavy subjects? Will update as needed!
29: A small shed outside the school, going inside reveals sports equipment is being stored in here. There are hurdles, various sports balls, giant mats, and the like. There's nothing that could be used as a weapon, though, unless you're going to try to hurl a basketball at someone's head. This is the only place on the campus it's possible to stay in overnight--if you try to stay anywhere else, you'll be made to leave at 7PM. The following is written on the wall in blue ink: "This is Building 46 on the composite map. Contact @CaptSteveRogers for details." Underneath is a fairly accurate map showing the shed in relation to the school. The school is labeled "School. Food available in cafeteria; DO NOT STAY HERE OVERNIGHT." The shed is labeled "Shed". Behind the shed is a small army of snowmen armed with sports equipment.
30: A school that has begun to fall apart, bisecting the building. The only way to enter it is through the center, making it a bit difficult to properly search. It consists of two floors, both of which have scattered Ⓧs drawn on the boards in the classrooms:
FIRST FLOOR
Central Wing
The center of the school seems to have crumbled down the middle at some point, leaving much of it open to the elements. The office and what remains of the auditorium are muddy, wet, molding messes. The cafeteria just to the north of the divide has survived quite well, however. It receives power and has many tables with attached benches. More importantly, the cafeteria receives food regularly. Admittedly it's what you would expect from a school cafeteria: a lot of frozen meals with some fruit, vegetables, and other things mixed in, and there aren't any ovens in the cafeteria's kitchen to heat anything up with, but this is a good place to check for food if you need it. "ALPHONSE ELRIC, MAMI TOMOE, FREYA CRESCENT, GREED, EDWARD ELRIC, STEPHANIE BROWN, DAY FORTY THREE, TRAVELLING NORTH-EAST." has been carved into one of the walls. A hot rod has been drawn on the wall with the initials JW. There's also a motorcycle and a few penises.
Northeast Wing
There are six classrooms here, neatly arranged three on each side of the hall. These are kindergarten classrooms, judging by how all of them have small tables and chairs to go with them in place of desks, with blocky, colorful text on the walls and large alphabet or number or animal carpets on the ground. A few picture books can be found on the classroom, at about the level you would expect for a kindergarten class. The northeasternmost classroom has a large old wooden piano, but the strings have all been removed from the inside. At the end of the hallway is a staircase leading up. "I found a severed arm here, but it vanished. Restless spirit? - Enoch" has been written on the wall in one of the hallways. In the first classroom one comes across on this side, all the desks have collapsed in a pile, as if they were stacked up but then fell over. "JIM HAWKINS WAS HERE", "NORFINBURY SUCKS", "JH ZD ZF", and "JH <3 ZD" have been written in sharpie in the hallways.
Northwest Wing
There are six classrooms here, neatly arranged three on each side of the hall. These are the first grade classrooms, and they have small desks with ample storage space in them for children to place their schoolbooks. The desks are arranged neatly with one chair per desk and desks formed into small groups of four each, for a total of five groups in each classroom. There's a large, blank plastic board on the wall in the front of the classroom. There are a few books to be found here, though they are suited for first grade. At the end of the hallway is a staircase leading up.
Southeast Wing
There are six classrooms here, neatly arranged three on each side of the hall. These are the second grade classrooms, and they have small desks with ample storage space in them for children to place their schoolbooks. The desks are arranged in four rows of five desks each, with each desk touching the desk on either side of it, in front of a blank plastic board. At the end of the hallway is a staircase leading up.
Southwest Wing
There are six classrooms here, neatly arranged three on each side of the hall. These are the third grade classrooms, and they have small desks with ample storage space in them for children to place their schoolbooks. The desks are arranged in four columns of five desks, with no desks touching any other desks, in front of a blank plastic board on the wall. Every room has a simple multiplication table on the wall. At the end of the hallway is a staircase leading up.
SECOND FLOOR
Central Wing
The second floor of the central wing is essentially in ruins. There were probably rooms here at once point, but they've all crashed to the ground below.
Northeast Wing
There are six classrooms here, neatly arranged three on each side of the hall. These are the fourth grade classrooms, and they have small desks with ample storage space in them for children to place their schoolbooks. The desks are arranged in four columns of five desks, with no desks touching any other desks, in front of a blank plastic board on the wall. Every room has a multiplication table on the wall--it covers from the twelves tables to the twenties tables. There is a similar poster for division. At the end of the hallway is a staircase leading down.
Northwest Wing
There is a small teacher's lounge on the northern wall of this hallway which contains a table, a few chairs, and a counter in the corner of the room that may have once held coffee machines, although no longer. There's also a large room that only contains multiple rows of tables and computer chairs, though there aren't any computers to be found.
The south wall holds the library. There are books to be found here, but it's all fiction suited for an elementary school. The reference section is entirely empty. There's a large machine that looks a bit like a modern day movie rental machine--notable for that alone, but it's also receiving power. However, if you try to use it, you will be asked for ID, and will be denied if unable to provide it. If you have ID, it will give out a blank blue SD card. This card can be written on only once before becoming read-only. You can also insert a blue, written-on SD card you already own to make copies of it, but only twenty per day.
Southeast Wing
There are six classrooms here, neatly arranged three on each side of the hall. These are the fifth grade classrooms, and they have small desks with ample storage space in them for children to place their schoolbooks. The desks are arranged in four columns of five desks, with no desks touching any other desks, in front of a blank plastic board on the wall. Every room has a multiplication and division table on the wall--it covers up through 100, and also includes rules about fractions and decimals. The beginnings of algebra seem to be being taught as well. At the end of the hallway is a staircase leading down.
Southwest Wing
On the north wall is an art room. It's large and there are various art pieces in various stages of completion. That they're made by children is obvious, but not all of them are really that bad. Some of the kids really show talent! Arranged by date, it seems like while the art starts out fairly standard in topic the newer pieces are darker, muddier, and more distorted, to the point with some of the pieces it's impossible to tell what was even being painted. On the south wall is a music room. There's an area similar to a classroom with desks, but in the back are many various instruments. Most of them would be pretty cumbersome to carry around, except maybe some of the smaller woodwinds, but they are in working order.

166 morning, for Jade
[It's a conversation he's been rehearing in his head over and over since before he died, added onto in time as others supplied him with more info. He knows already that he has his work cut out for him. Jade is defensive of Brian just from their own argument about his camera habit, and a snippet from her in an old conversation linked to him continued the trend. Further hope got sapped out with the Bucky fiasco. While he understands now what he did wrong there, it dug at that same old scar left from saving John. He can't try to help people without something going wrong. Still, he has to try. It's Jade. No matter what other complications there me be about her and him, he can't let things go without discussing this.]
[So come morning and the end of lockdown, he rises easy and slips just outside the shed. The air there is cold and dark. The sun has not yet risen, and he hates the bite of the chill all the more for how he died, but it drives back the leftover grogginess enough to give him focus.]
[He takes his tablet and sends a quick text to Jade.]
can i talk to you alone
its important
no subject
[ She has a few ideas of what this may be about, and all of them are terrible. She replies with her tablet before leaving it with the rest of her things. ]
umm ok
ill be right out
[ Jade grimaces as she steps outside, half-tempted to go back and get her blanket. They aren't going to do this out here, are they? ]
Um, hey.
no subject
Hey. You want to follow me over to the school? I'm gonna be going there anyway, but either we talk here first or we talk on the way there and maybe get out of the cold for a minute. But you might want your stuff with you if we go there.
[You know. For if this works. But even practically, she could keep warmer, and isn't she the one who used to carry five computers on her at all times? You need at least one, Harley.]
no subject
Be right back.
[ Jade does take her tablet with her this time, stuck in her extra bag. ]
To the school, then?
no subject
Yep.
[He follows along beside her, and for a bit he doesn't say anything. The morning chill is quiet save for Jade's footsteps in the snow, the soft shift of something carried or his wings brushing his back as they fold in closer.]
[Just when the moment threatens to stretch too long, he says,]
So, Brian is dangerous. I've got reasons and backup if you'll hear them.
no subject
I-- [ She takes a long, deep breath and slowly lets it out. ]
Okay, he's reeeally maladjusted. And I know he's willing to use violence as a solution. But. [ Her face (and tone) suggests that she expects Davesprite to be dismissive, and that he better not be, don't you dare. ]
He doesn't even suggest it without being provoked. Like, even if you're an asshole, he's only wanted to hurt people who presented an existential threat.
no subject
"Reeeeally maladjusted" [he makes talon quotes] doesn't really cover a guy who's kidnapped someone before, Jade. Did you know about that? The thing with that Clayton guy? Even if that was provoked you can't tell me that was okay.
[He's trying to sound even. Trying.]

165 evening, for Sora
[Talking, however, works better. As Sora will have learned by now, Davesprite's perfectly content to mumble useless commentary to himself as they go, whether or not Sora's contributing. Now that they're getting close to where they'll likely end up for the night, though, he feels he ought to tell him something more serious.]
Hey. Hey. Sora. So we're going to that shed, right? Gonna bed down on gym mats or whatever they have there, maybe curl up in some sports net from the big ball game. The world's most athletic blanket. Send that blanket to the Olympics for the gold sleep medal.
[Wait, this is still stupid, and he knows nothing about sports.]
There's gonna be people there, probably, is what I meant to say. And I don't know if you know Jade, but she's cool. She's got dog ears because reasons and she barks sometimes but just trust me. She and this other dude were there the other day, and Jade's from my world so she's probably going to be waiting for me.
But there's this other dude, Brian. Do you know Brian? That @totheark guy who can't type without looking like someone dropped the scrabble tiles?
no subject
Seriously. He can handle being alone.]
Yeah, that's the one! I mean, you can't really sleep in the school from what I've been told so I assumed that's where we'd be sleeping for the night.
[It comes out in a musing tone as Sora trudges along, glancing over at the other and he finds himself yet again thankful that the static has eased up.
A girl with dog ears? That's...well. After Davepsirte, he really should just be ready for anything shouldn't he? It's the part about Brian that really gets him and Sora frowns slightly.]
Yeah I know Brian. I've met him in person a couple of times. Why? Did he do something?
that introspection makes me sad for Sora, poor dude
[Right to the point.]
He likes Jade and trusts her, and she can... sort of get him to listen. Like the filming thing, she got him to set the tablet down but not actually turn it off. He's had his mind messed with by some really dangerous being, and he kidnapped this Clayton dude once, and there was this other guy Alex he wanted to kill... And last night after the whole Bucky thing, he was trying to volunteer Bucky for the Admin to mess around with his brain? I didn't read the rest of that post and I'm not going to because reasons I'm not going into, but that's that important part.
[It's easy to dump it all out when he's been thinking about it off and on for literal days now.]
Jade's pretty defensive of him, though, so I'm going to try to talk to her privately about it later. Or tomorrow, tomorrow's probably better since it's getting late.
I love crushing his happy little soul
[His steps slow as he soaks up what Davesprite is saying and he's..torn. Brian never seemed dangerous; weird, sure, but never dangerous. But he's very inclined to believe Davesprite because what reason does the other have to lie to him about it?]
Why would he do that though? I mean why--kidnapping someone then volunteering Bucky for something like that! It's not like we have any reason to really trust the admin, right? So why...
[He wants to like Brian. He really does. The other had given him a lot of good information but..]
He won't hurt Jade, will he? Or us?
no subject
[His tone comes out irritable there, but it's not because of Sora. Sora's not the one at fault for how Brian acts, or how Jade is about Brian, or the disaster he's expecting once he tries to talk it out with her. Determined though he is to try to get through to her, it's hard to feel optimistic going in.]
I don't think he actually means her harm, but that doesn't mean it can't happen, you know? This is a guy who couldn't comprehend why I might want him to stop recording me, or what turn the camera off means. And not hurting her doesn't mean he wouldn't hurt other people, like I just said. Jade is a good buffer for dealing with him, but...
I'm going to try to get her to separate from him. I've got info people have told me, links to stuff he's said directly, things like that. We should be alright tonight, but I wouldn't recommend hanging around him too long if you don't have to. Where were you planning to go after hitting the school?
no subject
[The irritation in the other's tone definitely strikes a nerve with Sora but he fights the urge to get irritated in return and instead focuses on hanging onto hope. On being optimistic even if it's a weak attempt.]
If he's that...if something's been done to him there's no telling what he might do. To anyone. [As much as he hates to agree with that he knows it's true.] Hopefully she listens. I can't help but worry about what Brian will do when he realizes what's going on.
[Oh this wasn't going to be fun at all.]
I'll probably head back south to check on all my drop spots again. That's what I've been doing for the past couple of weeks.
no subject
[He's not sure what Jade would think, but that's why he needs to convince her he's dangerous first. Which, as Sora points out, is going to have its own risks. For a moment he stops and thinks, forming out a plan for what to do.]
How about this. Tomorrow morning I talk to Jade early, maybe take her to the school so I can stock up and we can go, if everything goes well. You stay behind and make it clear you've got no part in what I'm doing, alright? You don't know where Jade's going after. If this actually works I don't know where I want to go. We'll figure that out. But that should keep you safer so you can get what you need after and go.
And if it doesn't work—
[Because that chance is always there. Because that's what he's fearing.]
I don't know. I'll go my own way, maybe, so Jade won't think this was your idea and Brian won't have that reason to be mad at you either.

Evening 165/Morning 166, ota
He re-searches everything in the morning, but at least he tries not to wake up anyone who's sleeping...though that's more his constant desire to be as quiet and unseen as possible.
After Jade and Davesprite leaves he settles down by her stuff and plays with his tablet. If Sora is still there he'll stare in his direction from time to time.
He does film and/or play with his tablet during most of this...but he does avoid pointing it at Davesprite. That's something, right? Sora and Jade are fair game, though, since they never caused an issues over it before. And clearly Jade understands it if she's with him all the time anyway.
Morning 166
When Davesprite and Jade finally head off in the morning Sora slowly starts to re-pack his bag, going over the contents until everything is put away and the stuff he's going to be leaving behind in the school is on top.
"..Hey Brian?" he finally speaks, looking up from his back as he sits cross-legged on the floor. "Do you need me to keep an eye out for anything while I'm doing my supply runs?"
no subject
No, wait. After a short pause he fishes a prescription bottle out of his pocket and holds it out towards Sora. The label is out and the drug name is some complicated thing but the patient name is clearly Tim Wright.
no subject
"Tim Wright?" he says outloud, glancing at Brian. Who was Tim Wright? "I'm guessing this shows up in the pharmacy? That's on my route so I can definitely pick it up for you!"
no subject
He nods again to the pharmacy question. That was where drugs showed up, after all.
no subject
"Hold on," he muses before grabbing his bag and digging around carefully, pulling out a pad of paper that he's been hanging onto for awhile. Once he's able to find his pen as well, he settles close to Brian again so he can write down the name and the name of the drug itself.
"Are you going to be alright for now? It may take me a few days before I can get there and find it then get it back to you."

late(r) morning 166
[ After arguing with Davesprite, she meanders back to the shed but doesn't go inside right away. She needs a minute to fully absorb what the fuck just happened; fifteen, to be exact. Enough to get the worst of the crying out of the way. Her face is kind of numb, but when she opens the door to the shed Jade has mostly pulled herself together. ]
Davesprite is heading out on his own.
[ It's not even ten o'clock, but she sounds exhausted as she takes a seat on the floor, leaning against her backpack tiredly. ]
no subject
He takes a seat next to her and lightly touches her arm then cants his head. Is she okay?*
no subject
I'm okay. Just kind of sad that he won't be around. [ Which is stupid, even if that's not the only reason she's upset. She's barely spent any time in person with her closest friends back home. It'll be just like old times. ]
no subject
He will be here, at least.*
