But he could handle this. Having something to do to help someone else always helped him focus, and trying to plan for the worst helped him not think about what had happened recently to himself. And really, it wasn't like he had anything to complain about comparatively or anything. Costigan looked miserable, and he'd gotten up to retrieve a bottle of water from the minifridge in his room, sitting down in a chair next to the inmate and holding it out to him.] You should probably try drinking something.

"I'm not hungry." [He muttered, closing his eyes for a second and then snapping them open. The nausea was beginning to intensify and the former undercover had no interest in provoking it, even if he knew his warden was right.]
no subject
It was a typical "Dick tries to make things better through bad humor and trying to give orders without actually giving them", and he knew it probably wasn't going to do all that much to help. Dick chewed at his bottom lip, weighing the options. While he knew it was really likely Costigan wouldn't be able to hold down anything, it was important to try and keep him hydrated, and it wasn't like he had a way to give him fluids intravenously here. He put the bottle down on the coffee table within easy reach of the inmate.
"It's there if you need it." He settled back in the chair, watching Costigan carefully.

He had to focus to roll his head over to look at his warden. The dehydration his warden was trying to prevent was beginning to settle in as well, giving him a headache. The Bostonian hand up a hand, looking at it as he flexed his fingers. After a beat, he finally realized he should explain. "I can't feel it. My hand."
no subject
He frowned when Costigan said he couldn't feel his hand. That was concerning. Definitely a warning sign that things were probably going to get worse, and knowing how this kind of thing went, it was entirely possible that things would get pretty bad pretty quickly.
He moved forward on the arm chair, sitting on the edge of it to try and get a better look without really invading his personal space.
"Nothing? No pins and needles or anything?" He needed confirmation to know what he was dealing with.

At least Costigan was still there, and if he'd been out for as long as it felt like he'd been, there apparently there hadn't been anything too horrible going on while he'd been out. Maybe the inmate had even been able to get some sleep too.
He scrubbed his hand over his eyes again, fighting back a yawn, blinking at the inmate curiously. He frowned.
"What are you doing?"
no subject
"Fahk you," the inmate replied without missing a beat. Costigan was on his communicator, trying to figure out which of his friends he could trust to bring him food and which of them had begun to turn against him or which had been against him from the beginning. He began to type a reply in to someone, laying on his side facing away from Dick, screen illuminating his face.
no subject
He pushed himself out of the chair and walked over to the inmate, holding out his hand expectantly.
"Costigan, give me that. Remember what happened the last time?"
Referring, of course, to the last time the inmate had tried getting clean. He'd told Dick he'd managed to alienate some of his friends by transferring his increased paranoia to the network, and he'd said he didn't want to go through that again. Dick was more then happy to help prevent that if at all possible, or at least try and control the damage.

[52ish hrs since last dose] Enter Bourne
When his warden was gone, after successfully being convinced that the inmate needed food and would be fine, he had made his way out and grabbed his knife on the way, hoping to achieve some kind of freedom or peace that his mind would not offer in this potential dream.
He had been wandering for some time, seeing vague shadows but never actual people. The figures he caught glimpses of were like ghosts, like silhouettes in fog in his peripheral vision and he could never seem to focus on them at such a distance with his eyes watering as much and as often as they were. Costigan had vomited on some stairwell he'd managed to traverse, arriving down at the next level.
[ooc; Assume Bourne sees Costigan at this point, please?]
as the brain-fog caused by my space flu lifts...
When inmates disappeared, most of the time they didn't come back. At least Costigan had put up an entry explaining that he'd be out of commission, but the former assassin figured there'd be no harm in checking. When Bourne saw the inmate ambling down the hall, looking quite frankly like crap, he didn't hesitate to set off at a light jog towards him.
"Hey, Costigan," he called as he approached. "Are you okay?"
Jason Bourne didn't often have bad ideas. This just happened to be one of them.
Glad you're feeling a little better.
People could do whatever they wanted in a dream.
Costigan flicked out the knife behind his leg, so as not to be obvious, and moved to close the distance between he and Bourne in one fluid motion. The inmate swung his arm up in what might have been a hug if he was himself and if the two friends were reunited. Instead, the knife was aimed at Bourne's right shoulder, an area sensitive to pain but not fatal in any way. He wanted Sullivan to suffer for all the shit he pulled.
Tanks. So am I. Sorry for the wait - moving in and orientation.
S'all good! I appreciate the thread.
HOORAY STABBING :D
Well, you know I love threading with you. <3

At least Bourne had been able to get Costigan sort of under control before the inmate actually did really serious damage. He wasn't sure how he could explain not sending his inmate down to Zero after he killed a warden, even if he was going through detox. Hell, Zero was probably a better place for this to be happening, since he could actually lock him in there and hope he wouldn't escape.
Whatever. Hindsight was twenty twenty and all that. And besides, he was still sticking by his promise to keep this as low key as possible.
At least Costigan hadn't tried to escape again. The inmate was back on the couch with a blanket over him, another bottle of water on the table, and in general, things had seemed to have quieted down. Dick was tired, but at least he'd eaten something and the couple hours of accidental nap would probably keep him going for a while. So, for the moment, he was okay with just sitting, again with his feet propped up on the coffee table, keeping an eye on the inmate. He definitely wasn't going to leave the room again without Costigan with him, if at all possible.
no subject
Seemingly without provocation, the inmate suddenly began to run his hand down his chest. Then the other. He repeated this gesture, hands shifting in angle and direction as he tried to wipe what seemed to be nothing from his skin. The inmate began to yell with no discernible words outside of the occasional profanity as his legs scrambled to try to help him sit up. Instead, he fell off the couch, still running his hands over his torso and then shifting to work on his arms as well.
no subject
The yelling jerked him out of his slight daze and he immediately sat upright, staring at the inmate in concern. When he fell off the couch, the vigilante hopped up, nudging aside the coffee table to kneel down next to him, immediately slipping into his training to try and stay calm. It didn't look like he was having a seizure, and he'd noticed he'd been acting a little out of it, but this was unexpected. He put a hand on the inmate's shoulder, trying to get the other man to focus on him.
"Costigan, what's wrong?"

[71ish hrs since last dose] Eventual call to Tim
The sweating never seemed to end and, even though he was tempted to stop drinking water to force it to, his warden had been so insistent that he acknowledged it as an unwise option for the time being. After all, he needed Dick on his side right now. Though the knife was tucked away in a drawer in the bathroom that he could potentially get to, he doubted his ability to reach it before Dick did and it wasn't the time to play that card again just yet. Right now, it wouldn't do anything anyway. Costigan just wanted it to end and he wouldn't be able to kill himself without some kind of distraction.
Then it hit him. He still had one pill tucked away inside of his hat.
"Icepack again?" The inmate groaned, glancing over at his warden, still sitting diligently in the nearby chair. The mini-freezer was on the opposite side of the room and would give him more time to stumble over to his things without drawing concern or an offer of assistance.
no subject
"Sure," he said, keeping his expression carefully neutral as he stood up. Costigan was paranoid enough without thinking that Dick definitely expected him to try something, and he had sort of had enough inmate wrangling for one day. And even ignoring the fact that he was kind of tired of trying to wrestle him away from communicators, knives and the door, he knew Costigan exerting himself after he hadn't slept or been able to keep anything down would be potentially pretty bad in the long term for the inmate.
He headed over to the freezer again, trying to keep an eye on the former undercover for as long as possible without it being obvious that that was what he was doing. Still, he had to look away eventually, the wall blocking the couch mostly from view, not to mention actually getting the ice pack out of the freezer. He should probably grab some more water too, just in case.

[91ish hrs since last dose]
He was laying there, eyes closed, trying to even drift off into distracted thoughts with no avail. His body was performing too many conflicting actions and presenting too many unpleasant effects for him to forget for even a moment who he was or where now that his head had cleared for the most part. Eventually he would escape from his captor's room when he was well again; there had to be something to make him well again. He still remembered the creatures burrowing beneath his skin and began to wonder if his warden hadn't put them there, hadn't insisted they weren't real only to draw his attention from the truth.
The inmate sat up suddenly as he dry heaved. He grabbed the almost-empty water bottle and quickly drank the rest to polish it off, then started to stand in his own weary fashion.
"Help me.. to bathroom.." He muttered to Dick as he tried to begin making his way over there. Although there was a bucket by the bed, Costigan preferred a place where he could throw up whose smell could be washed away and not instigate more illness.
no subject
Because really, he knew he didn't feel half as bad as the inmate, and that simple fact kept him from giving up. If it felt like he was falling asleep, he got up and tried to do something, cleaning the room, trying to keep up with new posts on his journal - apparently there was or had been a minor disaster going on outside or something - or keeping Costigan as fed and hydrated as he could, even if he was still incapable of holding down anything for long. It had worked out pretty okay so far. He hadn't fallen asleep again.
He looked up as Costigan moved, immediately tense and ready to do something to help. He was about to get up to retrieve another water bottle when Costigan stood up.
"Sure," he said, pushing himself up out of the chair with none of his usual grace. He carefully pulled one of the inmate's arms over his shoulder, putting one of his own around Costigan's waist and carefully started moving towards the bathroom. It wasn't far, but he still took it slow and easy, trying to make sure the inmate could keep up.

Re: [98ish hrs since last dose]
In fact, he was far more worried about Costigan than he would ever admit. Because he knew how hard it was, that it wasn't just something you could do on a whim - and certainly was something you had to want to do. So he was incredibly serious about helping his friend, not just because he was his friend, but because this kind of thing meant a lot to him.
These days, it was why he was here, on the Barge, at all. So he went to Dick''s room and knocked on the door. There was a bag of oranges in his hand from the kitchen. It was just a weird thing he liked having around when he was withdrawing, so if Costigan wanted some, he could have some, if not, then he'd probably eat them himself. It was just a thought, more than anything.
But he didn't want to disturb anything, one way or another, so knocked. He respected certain boundaries with this, and just wanted to check in and help where he could.

He slipped out of his room and walked down the hall, heading for Costigan's room first. Once there he knocked, listened, and didn't linger. He couldn't hear anything resembling a heartbeat in the room behind. Next he made straight for the warden's room, and rapped smartly on the door.]
no subject
He opened the door, keeping it slightly angled so whoever it was couldn't see into the room the whole way. He didn't recognize the guy and regarded him curiously, leaning against the door frame a little. He knew he looked like shit, but at least he'd changed out of the slightly blood stained clothes from earlier.

[Some point during Day 6/7ish]
Which was why, at the moment, he was unconscious in the arm chair he'd sort of claimed as his new bed. After the stabbing incident, he'd more or less been able to keep himself awake - mostly out of fear that something like that would happen again even though again, he'd gotten anything sharp out of the way - only managing to doze a little when the inmate was also sleeping. Most of the time, he'd been up trying to clean up the considerable mess, or just monitoring the inmate, still freaked out enough that he wasn't going to be taking any risks he didn't have to.
But things had been quiet for the last couple hours. The symptoms were still there, but not as bad, and the inmate had been getting some actual sleep. So, finally, after collapsing back into the arm chair, his own exhaustion had claimed him without his consent, and here he was, dead to the world.
For now, anyway. He was still sort of expecting something to go wrong.
no subject
It took him another minute for his mind to catch up with his body. He was lightheaded, still hungry, still cold while sweating, and still nauseous. Part of him wondered if those symptoms would ever go away, minus the lightheadedness, which was new. He reasoned that it was probably a result of dehydration and blood loss, which made sense, and he reached out to grab the half-full bottle of water on the table beside him.
Pausing as he realized Dick was in the chair, he continued quietly when his mind processed that his warden was asleep. His stomach growled as if to remind him how hungry he was, the same hunger it had felt for days on end. Perhaps it was justified now, given how little he had eaten in the two days prior and how little he had kept down in the days before that, but he hated it none the less.
Costigan didn't want to wake Dick for it, however, so after slowly finishing the bottle of water, he pushed back the blanket and sat up. After another beat, he slowly stood and began to quietly stumble his way toward the kitchen, leaning on various items as he went. That is, until he hit the center of the room where there was nothing to lean on and stumbled forward in order to prevent falling. Instead, he slammed into the counter of the kitchen when he arrived there, straight into one of his wounds, and let out a yell of pain before he could think to stop himself. The undercover pulled himself up to lean heavily on the counter, breathing heavy as he tried not to make any more noise.
