[ jessica jones doesn't want to be here. yes, she sat through the orientation video, as crapass and cheesy as it was, and told the assholes who greeted her that this was a mistake. she doesn't need to be rescued or sent to a new home, but despite her demand to return to her world, she would have to wait. it's difficult to navigate the portal, they inform her, and they ask for her patience. too bad that she lacks any.

a few hours after her arrival, jess decides to grace the network with her presence. what else is there to do while she waits around in a city on the fucking moon? ]

i didn't sign up for this star trek narnia bullshit. how long does it take to fix this goddamn portal?

and where can i find a decent drink in this shithole?

Depends on if you want an actual shithole or somewhere posh. Know of a few holes in the wall that don't care about much other than the color of your money. That about do, or you want a mimosa and brunch?

[hardedged]

screw brunch

[ that's all she has to say about that. ]

somewhere cheap and fast works. i'm not picky.

[idolpire]

[She'll get a ping and a map of the city with a few dots on it marking the places he frequented that he preferred.]

The one near the gate by the abandoned part of the city's good.

[hardedged]

[ hmm. she should appreciate the help, but jess is too skeptical by nature. plus, maybe she shouldn't be taking advice from some stranger with the username "bigbad." real original there. ]

sounds like you've been here for a while

[ if he knows the local bars like the back of his hand. ]

You haven't been to many "shitholes" if you think this place counts as one.

[hardedged]

what, you some kind of expert?

[potentialed]

Are you?

far as I know no one's working on the fucking portal

drink depends on how much privacy you want and how many tits you want shoved in your face

[Someone is not a fan of the kinkier establishments, ok.]

[hardedged]

[ it's cool. she's not either. ]

i've got a zero tolerance tit policy

[500gallontank]

that's going to limit your options

might consider liquor store + private place combo

I mean there's this place called the Quarantine... which I'm kinda hoping serves drinks cause I'm the new bartender??

[hardedged]

yeah? when's happy hour?

[willinglychanged]

uhh... I mean I kinda haven't started working yet.
So uh, happy hour is like... every hour? [Wow Drew you're a shitty salesman.]

Let me know when you find out.
My bet is on never.

[hardedged]

knowing my luck, sounds about right

[jettisons]

[#relatable, Jessica.]

That makes two of us.
How long have you been here?

The portal isn't broken, just very fickle. Apparently.

[hardedged]

fickle enough that it doesn't goddamn work right. sounds broken to me.

[maskerading]

Not working to our liking, anyway. So I don't think anyone could tell you how long you'll be stuck for.

[bringbackgold]

I've known people who left this place, so it's entirely possible.

[hardedged]

how long were they here for?

[bringbackgold]

Only about two months.

[hardedged]

[deathkid]

to do with it
