004 || [video] directed at the admins but basically unlocked

[morituramfides]

[When the video turns on, it flickers to show Jin standing in front of the computer, bringing his hand down to stab something into the table in front of the computer terminal for the webcam to see. When he moves his hand, it's revealed to be a bloodied scalpel-- the blood's dried by now, but a savvy observer could tell that the blood hasn't been there for that long. In fact, it looks relatively fresh.

This is probably why Jin is looking so pissed off into the video viewer, the crack in the corner of his glasses widening since the last time anyone saw him.]

I'm not surprised that you bastards have such a shitty sense of humor. [For anyone that knew Jin, he was being...surprisingly, calm for how absolutely seething he was.]

I haven't even done anything in the last month. But if you're gonna keep rubbing this in my face--

[And here he reaches forward to pull the scalpel back out of where it was stuck as the video feed glitches slightly.] --Then I'm gonna make sure this "present" counts. Just you wait.

[He tightens his grip on the knife, and looks like he's about to stab it into the monitor like the rampant vandalism he committed the first day he came here-- but surprisingly makes a better judgment, and just turns the feed off.

He's got a scalpel with your name on it, Jason.]

[Well. She'd been about to make a post quite similar to this though she'd been less convinced about the identity of the sender... And probably would have shouted less.]

You... got something too?

[voice]

[morituramfides]

[Hey, compared to his usual temperament he was being downright agreeable.]

I'd think that's obvious, unless you think I just picked this thing up for the hell of it.

[Sorry he's kind of in a Bad Mood. Like more than usual.]

[voice]

[attheclocktower]

[Well that makes two of them on the bad mood front.]

I just didn't know that other people got things too! And I didn't know the admins were doing it.

[She does have one or two people in the Tower who really don't like her (so far as she knows), though who would know to send her a faceless doll she wasn't sure.]

[voice]

[morituramfides]

It's probably possible someone has a vendetta against you. [He used to be in the revenge business, what do you expect.]

But unless someone's got a grudge, I can make a damn good deduction about who's smart ass idea this is.

[voice]

[attheclocktower]

[Great. Just great. Except the two people she can think of off the top of her head... well, when she'd been to the grave floor to visit the other Roxas' grave the other day there'd been a new grave for Vanitas, and meanwhile this didn't seem like the kind of thing Ganon would do.]

The admins?

[She doesn't figure it's Jason she doesn't have the hateship you two have.]

[caliginous]

[Karkat is feeling a little lucky, all things considered. He's fine with his tree branch.]

YOU OBVIOUSLY PISSED SOMEONE OFF.
JUST DON'T BRING THE ANGRY MURDERER HOME.
IF YOU CATCH MY DRIFT.

[aka bro, if you bring that scalpel into the room, you better do some voodoo ritual shit on it first to make sure Captain Cinnamon Claws doesn't decide to use it in the middle of the night.]

[morituramfides]

Normally I'd give you that, but I haven't done shit all in the past month. It's not like it was MY idea to learn a wealth of anatomical knowledge in less than a week.

[~fuck u bro~]

Well I'm not just gonna leave it in the mailbox, in case they decide to add a kidney to it.]

[caliginous]

W8.
IT WASN'T????????

[caliginous]

YOU KNOW WHAT, NEVERMIND.
ARE YOU SERIOUSLY JUST GONNA STOCKPILE A BLOODY PAN SCRUBBER IN OUR ROOM?

[morituramfides]

Considering who we're dealing with, I would've expect more of a lung, to be honest.

[He's not even gonna try and decipher your dumb alien anatomy goddamn.]

Yep. You keep a teddy bear that used to posses in our room no problem, and you're telling me you're afraid of a scalpel?

[caliginous]

ITS NOT THE SCALPEL I'M *CONCERNED* ABOUT.
*CONCERNED*, YOU BUCK-TOOTHED, PINK-SKINNED PLEEB.
IT ALREADY HAS BLOOD ON IT.
THEY'RE PUSHING THE MURDER WEAPON ON YOU.

[ghostytrainer]

That's...disgusting. Dude, where did that even come from?

[Keep it on YOUR side of the room, dude. If you have to bring it back to the room at all, that is.]

video

[morituramfides]

[Just for that he's gonna put it on your bedside table.]

I got it in the mail earlier. Don't know when exactly it showed up, but it was still warm.

video

[ghostytrainer]

[Wow what a jackass.]

Eesh...was there a name on it or anything? Like I mean who it was from.

video

[morituramfides]

[Suck it, nerd.]

No name. I don't need more than three guesses to figure it out, though.

video

[ghostytrainer]

[Pot calling the kettle black there, tbh.]

...someone with a grudge?

[He really hasn't seen just how terrible of deeds the admins are capable of with his own eyes yet. He's been warned, sure, but it's hard to really think of them as bad without seeing it first hand. But hey, Ruana's in charge that month. Taking bets on how long it'll take for that to change.]

[warriorscribe]

"Present"? What in the world...?

text

[morituramfides]

[Hi Enoch he sure is switching to text if he has to talk to you.]

I don't have much experience with gift-giving, but I'm pretty sure "presents" should be good-intentioned. But 500 yen says it's not.

video

[warriorscribe]

*Seriously? He always thought text was a little too impersonal sometimes but this was going a bit far.*

A bloody blade...it seems like a threat to me. Do you know who might have sent it?

*Guess who has no idea you were even in the pods, much less what happened in them?*

text

[morituramfides]

[Too bad he's gonna act like a ten year old anyway deal with it]

Ruana. [Doesn't even skip a beat.]

She's in charge right now, right? And she's never going to let me live it down.

text

[warriorscribe]

*Okay, recording video just to send in response to text is kind of irritating so he's going to switch to text too.*

Live it down? So this is a memento of something that happened to you.

It's likely a game to her. Everything seems to be.

[voice]

[floreatnoctem]

[She isn't even a little surprised, but to top that off, she's just... angry.]

We should just kill them all already.

[voice]

[morituramfides]

Would if I could.

[Because ooooh boy does he want to.] If I wasn't gonna do something before, they sure as hell just got rid of that chance.

[voice]

[floreatnoctem]

[She can understand the sentiment, honestly.]

They keep making it worse for themselves.

[voice]

[morituramfides]

They're trying to get a rise out of us. [See, even he can acknowledge that!]

But I can't say I really give a shit about not playing their game. Too late for that now.
