[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!]

[rubikscomplex]

hence why were asking questions, kid

have you ever attempted speech?

[0thingsonmymind]

either.



i should not speak

[rubikscomplex]

[Well, now. That's interesting.]

did someone tell you not to speak?

[0thingsonmymind]

no

*Not in the traditional sense of telling, at least. Its just something he's known as far back as he can remember.*

ijust cannot

[rubikscomplex]

why not?
what's stopping you?

[0thingsonmymind]

*He's glaring at you under that mask, House. So hard.*

itis not
safe

[rubikscomplex]

it's not safe to talk
but it's safe to write back and forth over a recorded medium that the admin might be watching?

[0thingsonmymind]

yes

*Its also safe to upload videos of himself breaking and entering, so his judgment on that might not be that great.*

iam not worried
about @admin

*Its just another ever present, all powerful supernatural figure. No big deal.*

[rubikscomplex]

who are you worried about?

[0thingsonmymind]

pe op le

[rubikscomplex]

why?

[House knows why he's worried about people, but he wants to know hoodie's reasoning.]

[0thingsonmymind]

they arenot safe

*That makes perfect sense, right?*

[rubikscomplex]

yes
we've established you don't think they're safe
WHY don't you think they're safe?

[0thingsonmymind]

theyare not
some things must remain
hidden

[rubikscomplex]

[This is becoming an exercise in futility, but Brian is proving to be a puzzle, and House has trouble walking away from those.]

who should they stay hidden from?
me?
people?
doctors?
something else?

[0thingsonmymind]

*He pauses to cough a bit before responding*

e v e r y t h i n g

[rubikscomplex]

you should write horror stories
you've got the spooky, ominous thing down to a t, kid
you're obviously afraid of something specific, though
what is it?

[His eyes narrow at the coughing, but he doesn't comment, yet. A cough might just be a cough, and with the mask, it's difficult to tell anything else.]

[0thingsonmymind]

*There's a little more coughing before the reply, but its not anything serious yet.*

not a fraid
but iknow it
i know it
well

*And of course he assumes House knows what he's talking about. Jay and Tim always did, at least.*

[rubikscomplex]

what is "it"?

[House has no idea what you're talking about, Brian. Because you're crazy.]

[0thingsonmymind]

*He is so not crazy. Things just work differently for him.*

the ⓍperatⓍr

*If that doesn't clear things up he doesn't know what will.*

[rubikscomplex]

[That actually gets a pause and raised brows out of House.]

you're one of tim's buddies, huh?
you get fed to the operator?

[0thingsonmymind]

*He nods and coughs some more.*

iknow tim, yes
both ofthem

fed? ?may be
i met it
i k n o w it

[Well, well, well.]

you know alex is here, right?
i'm planning to catch him
got some tape for it
me and other tim
the fun one like you
had a plan and everything

[Let's just see what we can do with this lie.]

you need a cough drop or something, by the by?

[0thingsonmymind]

*For not-sinister reasons. Really.
He cants his head a bit.*
