[log] Day 046 | Silence in the School Yard [closed]

[rubikscomplex]

Characters: Clayton, Dio, House, Miranda, Ellana, Dorian, Beckett, and Brian.
Location Building 29 (aka the Party Shed).
Date: Day 46, evening, probably after lockdown.
Summary: There are a lot of people packed into an equipment shed. There's bound to be friction. Or maybe they'll get along. Sing Kumbaya... Yeah, that's probably not happening.
Warnings: Gross mold lungs, House being his general insensitive self, and so forth. Please note specific warnings in the headers!

[The shed is really not meant for eight full-sized adults. It is meant event less for eight full-sized adults who have only met for the first time that day or even just that week. It's close quarters tonight, but at least the equipment shed has some minor forms of entertainment. There are hurdles, various sports balls, giant mats to potentially sleep on, and the like. Of course, if you make any noise, everyone in the place will be aware of it. Better mind your manners.

Or not. That's always entertaining, and after a day of near absolute silence in the school, most everyone is probably starved for at least a little noise. Something other than that weird piano music coming from more than one piano. One good thing to come of all of this is that they are well stocked up on food. It's a veritable bounty!]

*This is the same thing Beckett did with him before, isn't it? Only he's not panicking this time. So what is Clayton's angle? Or was he just another one of those strange people here who did things for no reason?

He considers for a few moments before snatching the ration and pulling back. He doesn't do anything with it yet, just watches to see if Clayton is going to request anything in return.*

[Clayton doesn't request anything in return. At least, not outwardly; what he's looking for is some sign of trust, or maybe interest if nothing else, which is a more subtle, but still hefty bargain. It might be better if he doesn't make this side of the deal obvious to Brian.]

[He watches back a moment, then chuckles and flashes a smile.]

What? Ain't gonna bite. Not 'less you do. [He pauses, quietly pondering how much he can get away with saying about Tim. Might not be the best idea in such close quarters. Idle smalltalk it is.] There anythin' else you need, bud?

[0thingsonmymind]

*Just one of those strange things people did here, then. He stuff the ration in his bag then returns his attention to Clayton.

He shakes his head a bit then stops and shrugs. He not yet sure what he wants from Clayton.*

[dr_unconscious]

[Clayton huffs in gentle amusement. How much can he get away with...]

Nothin' at all? Nothin' you want me t' keep an eye out for? Any buddies yer lookin' for? [He subtly raises his brows. You know, like your main squeeze Timmy?] I run into an awful lot a folks jus' runnin' 'round here, I'll bet I can find 'em.

[0thingsonmymind]

*Al's already given him a general location for Tim and Jay and he's yet to learn about Clayton's connection to Alex so he shakes his head at the question.*

[dr_unconscious]

[Huh. Well, he can be a little more blunt, then. Clayton's brows rise higher.]

...No medicine 'r nothin'?

[0thingsonmymind]

*Ooooh, that's right. Tim had said this guy might get him pills. Yes, that would be good. Does he have any now? He's got a lot of stuff here.

He nods. Yes please, drugs kthx.*

[dr_unconscious]

[That's the ticket. Clayton smiles his reassurance.]

Alright--ain't a problem, bud. There's a pharmacy 'round here, restocks medicines pretty regularly. Dangerous t' get there if you don't know where yer goin', though. I can show you the way?

[0thingsonmymind]

*That probably meant this guy didn't have any on him. Well, he can wait. He still has some, but he'll need this guy to show him to the pharmacy.

He nods.*
