037. - Video. - Jackal! Jackal! Jackal! It's a jackal! Jackaaal!

[OOC: LJ is not letting me upload icons, but Bourne is now a black-backed jackal! I won't be responding to flood comments until I can upload icons but I wanted to get this out there. He can be understood by other animals, but not unaffected people.]

[A black-backed jackal does its level best to lineface at the camera. It's dripping wet - looks like the flood hit someone in the shower.

While Bourne may be sopping wet, his tone is dry:] This is not my fault.

[Private to Claire, Costigan, and David, individually]
Are you all right?

< I wish you'd just go and die. > [He murmurs it so quietly it's not clear he even meant for Bourne to hear him.

But he can still hear the jackal scrabbling out there, so he hunkers in the corner and waits. Maybe if he's lucky something bigger will come along and eat the asshole.]

[No such luck on either front. If Bourne hears, he doesn't react, but continues to scratch methodically. It's helping to focus him.

Why hasn't the Admiral split them up? Or why hasn't David requested a transfer? They could get on with each other's lives and stay out of each other's way. Hell, Bourne might even get an inmate who isn't such a brat.

Then he remembers what the Ellimist showed him, and stops scratching, just for a minute.

David's his responsibility now.]

[Is he gone? David holds his breath, waiting to see if the scratching resumes. He can't see under his door, so no peeking for him. Hesitantly, he starts to crawl out of the corner.

He's communicator's still on the floor. Maybe he can use it. Make a post of his own. Call for help, maybe. Someone who can get him out of here. He can't well stay in this room for however long the flood lasts.]

[The scratching does not resume, but Bourne is still there. He's thinking - quietly.]

[David breathes easy for what feels like the first time since he woke up this morning. Maybe Bourne really did just wander off and give up. He can be heard scrabbling on the floor as he makes his way over to his communicator and begins typing at the keys, putting up his own post (http://sixthanimorph.livejournal.com/5894.html).]
