[ crotus prenn is pretty low on the list of places david opts to go exploring or scavenging, not because of anything to do with the place itself, but its inhabitants are both... territorial. and they both give him the wig in massively different ways. unfortunately it's a great place for gathering a ton of different supplies — medical mostly, but who knows what you'll find if you're willing to root around the carnival — and after returning from a few trips out without much to show for it, david feels like he should give it a proper try. ]
[ it's miserable out here, always is. the chapel smells of burned wood even from a distance and the air is cold and damp and yet somehow stale. david shoves his hands in his jacket pockets with a frown — one part thought, one part deep displeasure at being here, but if they run across a killer he'd rather take his chances with the clown than the nurse. so. chapelside of the realm it is. ]
[ billy's fast and not one to take stupid risks too. it's not why david brought him along, but it's a good bit of security if they get caught out. toss his bag billy's way to make sure the stuff gets back to camp and david'll keep the killer occupied. different stakes, but still more or less the same as in trials. ]
God, I fuckin' hate this place. [ he clicks his flashlight on and off like he doesn't already know it works fine and glances billy's way. ] Start with the church, yeah? Probably not much there if anything, but who knows.

how long’s it going to take you to get to the asylum? church side.
im with david.
no subject
[ you know, if he doesn't rush, and right now he's assuming there is no rush. ]
Need extra hands?
no subject
But David probably doesn't want Jeff to know he's weakly losing his mind. Billy wouldn't. But he probably wants 'help' to arrive. Billy would. Ugh. ]
yeah.
i don't know how far i can drag him.
he breathed something in.
no subject
Breathed something in
[ there’s supposed to be a question mark there, but jeff’s in a little bit of a hurry. he drops whatever he’s doing (not much, really), grabs a flashlight and borrows a med kit from jane, and heads out. ]
What was it?
He still conscious?
no subject
i dont know
[ That's not helpful. ]
bottle stuff.
clown?
yeah he is. he's scowling at me.
no subject
Which bottle?
Purple?
[ that shit’ll slow anyone down, but as far as jeff knows, it’s only temporary. ]
Can he walk?
Stand?
[ maybe he should text claudette. ]
no subject
it's orange.
not the yellow one.
[ Billy still doesn't get why he's sharing all this with Jeff. When Claudette or Rebecca could be on their way! ]
he might be able to stand. doesn't want to.
no subject
Alright, let him sit.
I’m about halfway to you.
[ … ]
Probably don’t have to say this but don’t touch the bottle.
I can’t carry you both back.
no subject
[ He's not an idiot, Jeff! He's waiting to see if David 1) dies and/or 2) enjoys it before deciding if it's a trip that can be adjusted or if it's something David's going to sorely regret. ]
