[Jesse is completely tweaking, which might be apparent to those who've gotten to know him, as his energy level is doubled. Not over-the-top, but a change from his default state of dead-eyed depression. He's excited!]

Hey, yo. 'sup, new guys. I'm Jesse Pinkman and I'm sorry I wasn't around to say hello the day you all showed up, but I was kinda busy with some real stupid shit. Anyway, that's all over now, so I'm all like - hey, let's do the friendly neighbor thing. 'cause, you know, it sucks balls showing up here at the end of the world all outta nowhere.

Anyway, I baked a bunch of cookies and shit, 'cause that's like the only thing to do around here since we don't even got TV. So anybody with some munchies or whatever, looking for some fine baked goods, you just drop by room 409 and I am here to deliver. It's delicious, yo. Ask Collette or Rin or Claire. They'll back me up on this.

You wanna stick around and smoke or drink, too, that's cool. I ain't saying it's a party, but it's a party.

And, um, hey - everybody who came down to my murder trial and put in a good word for me: thanks. Like, seriously. You literally saved my life, so you're awesome. I love you. I love you. I love you. Thank you.


(( Action threads are cool if you just want to show up at Jesse's place! ))

[breakablegirl]

Yeah. That.

..Guessing that's a no?

[hostage]

I don't have a car or anything.

[YOU CAN'T EXPECT HIM TO WALK.]

[breakablegirl]

[Slow smile of amusement.] Wow. Where's your sense of adventure?

[hostage]

Hey, I have had plenty of adventure. And getting lost out in the wild with nobody around for miles and miles. And it is not fun.

[breakablegirl]

[SHRUG.] I'm pretty good at not getting lost. And it's not like I'm talking a multiple day excursion or anything.

[hostage]

What's even out there?

[breakablegirl]

I don't know. That's sort of why I want to go.

[hostage]

When?

[breakablegirl]

I was thinking maybe this weekend.

I can find someone else if you don't want to. No pressure.

encrypted;

[hostage]

No, hey, I'll come.

[Claire is not allowed to think he's a pussy.]

[breakablegirl]

Cool. [c:]

We'll probably need to pack stuff. We don't know what'll be out there or what kind of conditions we'll be in..

[Pause.] You're sure you wanna go.

encrypted;

[hostage]

Yeah, totally. I used to go camping all the time.

encrypted;

[breakablegirl]

Awesome. So, it's a plan.

encrypted;

[hostage]

Yup. It's a plan.

[breakablegirl]

[Wellp. Have a bright, genuine, real smile Jesse. NOT-SAD LOOKING ONES FROM CLAIRE ARE KIND OF RARE. She tones it down before replying.]

Thanks. For coming with.

encrypted;

[hostage]

Nah, nah. Thanks for inviting me.

encrypted;

[breakablegirl]

Inviting you to a dangerous and potentially disastrous exploration? Wow, you're easy to please.

encrypted;

[hostage]

No, see, exactly. You coulda picked somebody who'd actually be useful out there, but instead...

encrypted;

[breakablegirl]

You're right. What have I done? We're doomed.

encrypted;

[hostage]

So doomed. But we'll have some fun while we're at it, right?

encrypted;

[breakablegirl]

Pretty much.

encrypted;

[hostage]

I'll bring the beer.

encrypted;

[breakablegirl]

[Light laugh.] That's a terrible idea.
