[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!]

[Oh goddammit. Clayton's back to putting his face in his hand and, murmuring mostly to himself: ]

...Helps when they know how t' play along...

[He swipes his hand over his eyes, takes a deep breath to recover, and this time addresses Brian. He's already lost this battle with House. Time to try and divert from the other side.]

--Brian, don't ya see what he's doin'? Fishin' fer info on yer buddy. [Slight eyebrow raise. You know, that buddy. The other guy.] Why d'ya think he's doin' that for?

heis diff er ent

*That's all you get, House, but not because Clayton asked him to stop. Simply because that's all he's got on the subject. He does pause to consider Clayton's words, though.*

itdoes not matter
why
just that he
is

ihave no ans wers for you.

Oh, please. Trying to bump up the paranoia, Epps? I'm trying to help Tim. [For a... given value of 'help.'] If you've got something similar to your buddy, I might be able to help you, too. Stop the bloody cough.

[That's not really his main goal here, but he can work with it.]

[In spite of himself, Clayton sputters a laugh. Brian's answer has more or less cemented for him that he won't say more than he should to get him and Tim in trouble, so keeping up the ruse really isn't an issue for him anymore. Relaxing a little might be a bad idea in that case. But hey, it's not like active damage control's been helping, either.]

Lord, doc. You ain't got no idea, do ya?

*He sighs before replying.*

iam not sick

[rubikscomplex]

[House glares at Clayton, but doesn't respond, focusing on Brian.]

You're coughing up blood. You're sick.

[dr_unconscious]

[Yeah, this is fine. Shaking his head, Clayton stands.]

Of course you ain't. Doctor Snookums jus' don't understand. He ain't gonna listen t' an answer he don't like.

[0thingsonmymind]

*He shakes his head to House and then nods to Clayton.*

itis nor mal

And Dr. Epps is going to pretend to be your buddy because he thinks he's protecting Timmy. Fine. [There's more than one way to skin a cat. Observation, in this case, being one of them. If Brian wants to be creepy and stare at people silently from the corner, he'll have to enjoy House doing the same to him.]

I mean, I totally missed the part in anatomy class where humans are supposed to cough up blood, but you're in the best hands with this guy.

Stop filming everyone. [It's the last comment he has for Brian before turning and limping away and back over to his pack. He slips down and proceeds to just dead-eye stare the young man.]
