Fifth Floor Common Room, Sunday evening

[craftyladyparts.livejournal.com]

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!]

"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."

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

"I like to think that every word I speak is motivational," Jessica said. It was very zen.

"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?"

"Well, I don't feel the need to fully commit to anything yet, so monk is still on the table," Jessica said.
