[OOC: Post with Hibari's not done yet, but I'm throwing up my aftermath post anyway. This, for the record, is Jack's excuse for being MIA when I go out of town next week.][The transmission is coming from Dr. Tam's clinic, and Jack's voice is hoarse, rough as if he's trying to keep it steady with difficulty. He sounds pained

[Elaine had sensed the lie, and seeing an attached locked file, resisted opening it and failed miserably. It's not easy for her to hold back when her friends sound like they're in trouble. So she hacked it.]

Oh shit. Jack, what happened? [Her voice sounds somewhat frantic.]

[He licks his lips nervously. Of all the people to hack the transmission, Elaine is one he especially didn't want to worry.]

I...ran into someone who was...violent.

The Major? [Because obviously everything is the Major's fault.]

No, I don't think so. He looked young. Younger than me.

[Hey, guess who just spotted you while looking for somebody else at the clinic. No really, it's true, although here's to doubting that it will make her "visit" any more welcome.]

Jack!

[There are chairs around here, right? Allow her to grab one and sit down next to your bed. She is very concerned, you know.]

What happened to you?

[ACTION]

[Jack's gaze is undeniably suspicious, even when it comes only through one eye.]

Someone took offense to my dog.

[ACTION]

[echo_of_utopia]

Who, Jack?

[Her mind is on Delta, instantly - was, from the moment she saw him lying there.]

[ACTION]

[kindly_done]

I don't know. No one I've met before.

[He frowns down at his broken arm.]

I got thrashed by a kid half my size.

[talks_to_fish]

I want to help you.

[kindly_done]

I'm okay, Angel.

[talks_to_fish]

I can check if you are, and it's your fault if you lied. [And jack is one of the maybe three people in the mansion that can know how much of a threat that actually is.]

[kindly_done]

[Jack clears his throat.]

...Okay, I got hurt. Pretty bad. But I will be okay.

.. What in God's name happened t'you, son?

'Course I'll take Celeste.

[kindly_done]

Fought. Lost.

[His smile is rather pathetic, and sets his lip bleeding again.]

She'll like being with the other dogs again.

...Y'look like hell, son.

... [He considers asking if Jack needs anything.] That she will.

[private//audio]

[kindly_done]

I feel like...

[Hell? No, don't say that.]

It...looks worse than it is.

[He doesn't necessarily mean to hack the entry but some old habits die hard. Seimei stares at the image of Jack. The way...he looks, how the damage has been executed and with such enthusiasm... it's very familiar. He has his suspicions. Slowly the ears flatten and the sacrifice looks away as he realizes he should say something.]

I'm sorry I was staring. You look like you've had quite the encounter Jack.

[Jack is beginning to look irritable, or as irritable as one can look with one eye swollen shut.]

Can everyone see it?

[Private Video]

[two_in_eden]

Admittedly, it wasn't the hardest entry I've gotten into. I wouldn't post anything until you're back to full health.

[kindly_done]

Great.

Thanks for the warning.
