[ 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?

Told you, it's flirting. If you're half as pretty as you are cheeky, it'll be worth it.

[hardedged]

they're overrated. not a good enough reason to waste time in a crapass parking garage.

[ she prefers the isolation of her shitty apartment, thanks. ]

[ BLASPHEMY. Wait. No, he can't think like that--that's Tammy the Terrorist's gig. When you start thinking like Tammy, you're doing something--possibly everything--wrong. ]

maybe to you

racing's all I've got






all I had

[Oh fuck don't get him all maudlin now, or he's going to beat her to the drinking.]

[hardedged]

and i told you, i don't flirt. i just say what i want. and i don't want you. in case that wasn't clear the first time i said it.

I am so sorry for him, Jessica.

[idolpire]

Yet. But you do want a drink. Something cheap and with a kick, yeah? That I can do.

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

never be sorry. this is beautiful.

[hardedged]

so can i

[ she can get her own booze. and he already sent over a map of the city. as far as jess is concerned, she's done with him now. ]

Spike's job: piss off everyone in Quarantine

[idolpire]

Slayer or not, I like the way you flirt, little lamb. I'll be seeing you around.

[Maybe he would and maybe he wouldn't. Newbies were easier to pick out. There was always a settling in period, and it looked like all he had to look for was a surly new female face. He could pull that off. He was a predator, after all.]

[hardedged]

[ this conversation got real deep, real fast. #yikes ]

you can still do it here, can't you

[hardedged]

you'll be seeing with two black eyes if you call me that again

[500gallontank]

[ This is why you don't diss cars around Frankenstein, jjones. You get angst. You did this to yourself! ]

need a FUCKING CAR

don't I

?

[Guess what's bugging him? JUST GUESS.]

And a fucking drink now

thx

[idolpire]

Getting me all riled up, lambchops.

[Too late, Jessica. That was your forever nickname now.]

[hardedged]

knowing my luck, sounds about right

[jettisons]

[#relatable, Jessica.]

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

[hardedged]

fuck off, sparkles

[idolpire]

Kiss kiss, dollface. Be seeing you. ;)

[hardedged]

says the dumbass

[ she's reaching for only the most mature insults here. ]

[hardedged]

[ okay, well. there goes the tiny shred of sympathy that she could have possibly had for him. it's on, frankenstein. it's on. ]

then get one, shithead. and while you're at it, pull the stick from out of your ass.

[hardedged]

a few hours. which is already long enough.

[potentialed]

Clean housing, all the modern conveniences, lush vegetation, and competent people running security.

Yes, I am the dumbass in this situation by not calling this OBVIOUSLY terrible place a "shithole".

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

[jettisons]

Welcome to the party. Anything try to kill you yet?

[500gallontank]

[ It is so on. Nobody talks to him like that! ....except Annie. ]

working on that

obviously

when I'm not trying to be fucking helpful

[Can you feel the helpfulness just oozing out of the text? CAN YOU?!?]

if you're going to try to insult me

you're going to have to be more original

[ What had Annie called him? 'Veiny, dick-pumping blowhard'? Whatever the fuck she meant by that. ]

[bringbackgold]

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

[hardedged]

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