Room 222, Tuesday Afternoon
Jackson could only ever have a good time for very short periods at a time, it seemed. And it had been a while since he'd last had a good time. The stress that had been with him for months and months now had started mounting again lately, making him even more twitchy and irritable than usual. Maybe staying away from Beacon Hills wasn't really working out for him after all. Besides, if someone else chose he had to go, it wasn't like he could stop it. That had been amply established already. And speaking of Beacon Hills, he had a voicemail from Coach Finstock about lacrosse. Championship game. How he should be coming to practice. And something about Greenberg, because there was always something to say about Greenberg. Jackson didn't really want to go. But, with the time difference, it would coincide with the full moon in Fandom, and he'd been getting pretty good at avoiding those.
He'd have to think about it, even if it just stressed him out more.
And on a more mundane note, he was still pissed that he'd had to book himself into a hotel a couple of nights back because Jim had dragged some skank back to their room and he hadn't wanted to deal with that. So yeah, his mood wasn't great.
This was some angry yet efficient laundry folding that was going on in room 222 right now.
[ooc: Open door, open post, pissy guy but what else is new? Squirrels, please note: Kanima stuff in the Jim thread NFB, please!]

He'd lost sight of his goals, though. Or they'd been reduced to the goal of staying alive and staying in control, and he wasn't sure how well he was doing with either. It made his temper... not great.

But it did nothing.
He stalked over to Jim's desk. Getting in anyone's face right now wasn't wise but here he was anyway. "This is not about money." For once. "There are bigger things at stake, assface."

Say hi to the kanima, Jim.
no subject
Jim's eyes widened in surprise because he hadn't known that about Jackson. He didn't cower or run away but there was definitely some surprise there.
"What in the hell?" he asked, mentally going through what he had on his desk that he might need to use against this...thing.
no subject
And then the kanima hissed, teeth bared. Those weren't human teeth. Those... were teeth that would easily tear flesh off just about anything. But it was a warning, not an attack.
no subject
It wasn't a way to start a fight but he needed to get out of the corner he'd backed himself into and give himself some room from this thing.
"Get away from me!" he shouted.
no subject
Yes, Jackson. His skin normal again, his eyes, his hands. He exhaled a shuddering breath, and looked down at his hands, then up at Jim. Confused. Worried.
"Wha–– ?"
He had no recollection of the past thirty seconds or so. That in itself almost told him all he needed to know.
no subject
That was a demand and he thought he had a right to know.
no subject
Look a little less like you're about to puke on your shoes, Jackson.

"No, dumbass. I'm not threatening you."
He didn't want to hurt people. He was already a murder weapon, he didn't need to add to that.
no subject
Gun, knife, whatever.
no subject
"Understandable," he half muttered as he turned to go back to his side of the room. "Not that a weapon's likely to help you."
Again, not a threat. Just a sad fact.

"Really think some small town cops have anything on that thing?"
(He was repressing the fact that he knew they didn't. The kanima had slaughtered a sheriff's station full of officers of the law. That was why he felt sick.)

He rarely did but really, that was beside the point.
no subject
"No, you don't," he growled. "Am I in danger living here with you? Should I move so your alternate personality doesn't kill me?"
