Fifth Floor Common Room, Sunday evening

After a shower and change back into her civvies, Jessica made her way back to a nice, comfortable, public spot in the dorms. It had been a very weird few days, including a couple straight days of aggressive violence toward apparently no purpose, unless this weather machine thing was a big deal in a place that rained food regularly.

Still, at least she got to do some pretty interesting engineering and had SHIELD paperwork to fill out about the latest interdimensional weirdness around here in her future. That was something. Specifically, it was something to put off until a little later. For now, she was more than happy to settle for some kind of fluffy holiday junk about a postal worker who falls in love with a person who answers mail for Santa, who you could tell is quiet and lonely because she sometimes wore glasses.

Stupid but non-violent? Sounded good to Jessica tonight. And it was a great excuse for popcorn.

[OOC: Saw a commercial for that while watching Psych reruns last night. I'd watch it if I didn't have several sports-related things I'd rather watch instead.

Anyway, open CR post-BDE!]

"I don't know if I'd have the patience to write a tell all book either," Jim noted with a shake of his head. "I'd have to pay someone to do it for me and make up a bunch of juicy lies."

"Just call it a fictional biography and I won't even have grounds to sue," Jessica offered.
pursuedthestars: ([hap] daww)

"Does that mean I'd get to replace your name with a funny, made up but close enough to point to your real identity name?" Jim asked hopefully.

"Not 'Jennifer Wrote,'" Jessica said. "That's my one rule."
pursuedthestars: ([neu] commanding)

Jim glanced over at her. it took him a second to actually get that before he snickered. "Yeah, I'd be a little more creative than that. Though, Jennifer Wrote actually has a nice ring to it. Maybe if I get desperate."

"Nope. You can't have it. That's going to be my clever pseudonym if I'm ever a spy," Jessica lied. Her actual alias was 'Jennifer Carpenter.' But she wasn't going to mention that.
pursuedthestars: ([hap] in motion)

"Well, now you've told me your future spy name so you're clearly going to be the absolute worst spy ever," Jim decided.

"You're from the future, JK. By the time you're born, I'll already be famous for my career of service," Jessica pointed out.
pursuedthestars: ([hap] cheese it)

"Funny, I don't remember hearing or seeing your name around my time," he said, shaking his head. "Must be a pretty minor celebrity."

"Spy famous is different than regular famous," Jessica explained. "It's like being in a genre TV show. You might get huge lines at conventions, but that doesn't mean the average parent has any idea who you are. But you're still famous."
pursuedthestars: ([hap] bemused)

[personal profile] pursuedthestars 2013-12-16 03:43 am (UTC)(link)
"So, how do you know you're gonna be famous and not completely fizzle out?" he wondered. "Besides your confidence and everlasting optimism, I mean."

"90 percent of everything is confidence," Jessica said. "And if you can fake that, you can do pretty much anything, because that is really hard to fake. It's probably easier to just learn how to do whatever and gain real confidence."
pursuedthestars: ([hap] casual)

"You sound like a self help book," Jim laughed, shaking his head. "Ever thought about going into motivational speaking?"

[identity profile] craftyladyparts.livejournal.com 2013-12-16 04:15 am (UTC)(link)
"I like to think that every word I speak is motivational," Jessica said. It was very zen.
pursuedthestars: ([hap] what a face)

[personal profile] pursuedthestars 2013-12-16 12:00 pm (UTC)(link)
"How very zen," Jim said because yes, it was. He wasn't even a mindreader. "You sure you want to be a spy or an engineer and not some monk?"

[identity profile] craftyladyparts.livejournal.com 2013-12-16 01:43 pm (UTC)(link)
"Well, I don't feel the need to fully commit to anything yet, so monk is still on the table," Jessica said.
