JESSICA JONES (MCU)

"And here I thought I got to be the mean drunk."

"Hey--you're the one thinking at the top of your lungs."

"No. Nope. Absolutely not. Get the fuck out of my head now." After Kilgrave, some things would always make her skin crawl. Jess was doing better than she had been. That didn't change the fact that she wasn't fucking with anyone in her head again. "You have five seconds."

"hi--welcome to the emporium! howcanihelpyou." the last bit rushed out of her. darcy totally hadn't been smoking in the back and barely heard the door open. not at all.

A sigh and an unimpressed look. That's all Jessica could muster. It was too early for this, and her drinking (which had evened out some) had increased once more with this whole reality shit. She was simultaneously hungover and buzzed. "This girl." The P.I. held up the printed photo taken from Instagram. "You see her recently? She was hanging around here."

"Oh, blow me, asshole. This shit is hard enough without pricks like you pulling out your intimidation tactics."

"this is why i never come to time square--it always smells like urine and scammers keep trying to lure you into their shops."

"So why the hell did you go? Enter at your own peril, blah, blah, blah. It's a hellscape."

"I thought y'all said it gets cold here."

"Spend a few hours crouching on a fire escape and it starts to get into the bones." Thank god for the liquor jacket, right?

Jessica knew what was coming next. A drink. Then another one. Anything to numb the torrent of feelings that threatened to overwhelm her. "You got a point, or are you just venting? I don't think I signed up to be your therapist."

"C'mon, you haven't heard that sound? Wait, you do have a tik tok, right?---don't tell me you're still on x..."

"Do I look twelve to you?"

"what is that!?"

"Whiskey. On the rocks. You unfamiliar?"

"hey, wanna hand me that first aid kit?"

A retort bubbled up on her tongue. Something sarcastic, something rude. It was her default for a litany of reasons that Jessica didn't want to get into with a therapist. Instead, she just grunted. Grunted and nudged the first aid kit over. "Do I wanna know how the other guy looks?"

"well at least one thing remains consistent across space and time-- whether or not mind altering substances took ingestible liquid form wasn't always the case. but, surprisingly, more often than not.

"What the hell are you saying?"
