There is a box resting outside courier_gavin's room. It has his name clearly written across it and an additional tag that notes that it will explode if not opened by the addressee.

(ooc- Jake lives off campus? but he does still have a room,so...)

Opening the door, because of a sudden lack of coffee dictated he do so, Jake stepped out of his room. He glanced around idly, in case something fun, like one of Radek's experiments, Logan's surfboards or the new guy in the attic, was around.

He saw nothing fun, but he did see a box.

(I knew that too. Blame it on my advanced age and drug use. He'd bribe someone to get it there.)

It was a good-sized box, rectangular, and also familiar. It had last been seen sitting on the corner of Spider's desk in the Journalism classroom.

... at least it wasn't ticking.

Jake eyed it warily, bending over it to read the message. The bit about the exploding, made him back off again.

After a moment, when nothing happened, he inched close enough to poke it gently.

Nothing continued to happen - obstinately.

Sighing deeply, Jake went to find a pair of barbeque tongs and a pair of scissors. Maybe he was opening it, but he was doing it for a distance.

A brief detour to nick duct-tape from Radek's room, Jake was back staring at the box.

It wasn't a very large box. The lid didn't even appear to be taped down.

Carefully, brow wrinkled with the kind of concentration he rarely showed in class, Jake opened the box with the help of the scissors which he'd taped to the tongs.

There was a moment or two of difficulty when the scissors snagged on something taped to the underside of the lid, but it came apart without too much effort or explosion.

The device taped to the underside of the lid was a small capsule filled with a noxious looking green substance.

The rest of the contents appeared far less interesting at first glance, a heap of dark fabric covering them from view.

The capsule made him pause, but in for a dollar in for a... something or other. Jake poked the fabric carefully (in case something jumped out at him). His dad would be really pleased with his paranoia, he thought idly.

There were definitely several objects beneath the fabric... which turned out to be a black t-shirt.

Further examination revealed the words: "Spider Jerusalem is a Rat Bastard" emblazoned across it.

[courier-gavin.livejournal.com]

Jake dropped his tongs and experienced a brief moment of cognitive dissonance. One side of his mind was going: "Spider Jerusalem is a sadistic son of a bitch" and the other was going: "Squee! Spider Jerualem is awesome!" He winced and quickly turned to poking the other items before he had a minor meltdown. Logan was sure to complain if he did.

Beneath the t-shirt was a flask that gurgled interestingly, a black gadget that looked interestingly like a DVD remote, save for the green LED screen... and a set of photographs.

One was Jake as Spider... and the other was Jake in his tattered pants and borrowed belt, storming away.

On the back of the second photograph was written 'Next time, bring insect repellent and possibly Agent Orange'.

The scream echoed through the house.

"FUCK YOU SPIDER JERUSALEM!"
