[ 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?

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

[hardedged]

[ well, shit. they have stores here. that was her preference back home. ]

they sell in bulk?

[500gallontank]

some places probably deliver

but that ruins the point of the private place

[hardedged]

pickup's fine

[ she's strong enough to carry a crate or two, if necessary. ]

[500gallontank]

you can try quarantine

name of a bar

as for place, parking garage is normally empty this time of night

[The fact that that probably sounds creepy--like, how the fuck he'd know that much less invite someone there--totally escapes him. He gets why someone would want to, you know, not be around people. ]

[hardedged]

[ it does sound pretty creepy, but everyone she's met so far matches that description. either that or an asshole. ]

speaking from experience there?

[500gallontank]

[ He's mostly just antisocial. Occupational hazard. ]

too many people everywhere else

also


cars

[hardedged]

cars

[ how... is that a valid answer... ]

[500gallontank]

cars

you got something against cars

?

[If so, they clearly cannot be frands, 'jjones'. He thought you were cool.]

[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. ]

[500gallontank]

[ 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]

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

you can still do it here, can't you

[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

[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.

[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. ]

[hardedged]

originality's for someone who gives a damn

[ aka — not her. ]

[500gallontank]

that's a weak excuse

you probably just can't do any better

[hardedged]

what, you wanna be insulted? does it turn you on or something?

[500gallontank]

yeah i'm kinky like that

just saying either say something worth hearing

or shut up.
