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

[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.]

[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.

[Wow what a jackass.]

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

[Suck it, nerd.]

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

[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.]

[Hypocrisy is irrelevant.]

Either a grudge, or a sick sense of humor.

Or perhaps a terrible combination of both?

I guess. If it's from who I think it is, I don't even know if she can hold a grudge against us.

...But if it's from Jason, I guess I can take that as confidence that I've at least pissed him off.

[And really, that was basically his plan all along.]

Who can't? One of the other admins? And wait, are you saying there that you're trying to piss Jason off?

[Why would you kick the hornet's nest just why.]

That's the plan. [When you really hate the hornet's nest and your stings can heal the next day, it's pretty damn worth it.]

Yeah, one of the other admins-- Ruana. You talk to her and it's like talkin' to a six-year-old.
