[Wow, Jesse is so tanned, he almost looks healthy. Almost.]

Yo, 'sup. I'm Jesse Pinkman, talking about the usual thing I talk about around this time every month. I mean cookies. You guys that're new, you probably saw me and some other people out there in the rain the day you got here, handing out free snacks and umbrellas and whatever. That's a regular thing, we do it every month for the new arrivals. It ain't a paying job, it's just like volunteer work.

Anyway, we'll be meeting up on the 30th for baking up in my unit, which is 409. Come if you want to, even if you don't know how to cook. I'll help you through it. It's real easy. It's pretty chill, no pressure, just listening to some music and making snacks. I got all the supplies we need, but if you got extra ingredients you wanna bring, that's cool. Variety and whatnot.

That's it. Door'll be open. Hope I see you there.



(( Baking is handwaved so if you wanna say you were there, you were there, but here's an example of what the newbie log thread will be like. No need for permission to participate! Jesse lets everyone help out and teaches anyone who doesn't know how to bake. ))

They make little kids kill each other. It's sick, okay.

[5055034455]

Yeah. And I agree. But you can't hold that against her — a society like that, there are victims at every level.

[He rubs the bridge of his nose.]

She and I are in similar positions.

[hostage]

Jesus...

[5055034455]

What?

[hostage]

Nothing. Congratulations.

[5055034455]

Look. I understand, okay? I get why you're pissed. I'm not happy about it, either, but it ain't so easy, being shoved into another universe and then having to stare the consequences of your actions in the face.

[He says, staring Jesse in the face.]

I know how she feels.

[hostage]

No, come on. It ain't the same thing.

[5055034455]

You don't think so?

[hostage]

Look, we done some fucked up shit, but we never went all American Gladiator with it. There's evil and then there's really evil, you get what I'm saying? Making kids kill each other for some reality TV show is really evil.

[5055034455]

[It takes all of Saul's willpower to keep from snapping, But she's sorry. Or is that not good enough anymore?

He'd really rather not make this about Walter.]

Maybe you should meet her before you start acting like my mother.

[actually no that probably won't help at all]

[hostage]

You don't want me meeting her. Anyway, ain't like you need my blessing. Bone whoever you wanna bone. I don't care.

[5055034455]

That's not fair, Jesse.

[hostage]

What?

[5055034455]

You won't even give her a chance?

[hostage]

Why?

[5055034455]

Because I would like it if my girlfriend and my best friend got along?

[hostage]

[That isn't even fair. What does he say to that?]

[5055034455]

I don't know if it'll even work out, but for the time being... I really do like her. So.

[Saul shrugs and looks at his hands.]

[hostage]

[Grumbled:]

You're a total sap.

[But he means that kindly.]

[5055034455]

I know. It's terrible.

[Actually terrible.

It's then that a little smirk crosses Saul's features and all of a sudden he's leaning over, head on Jesse's shoulder, sighing all lovestruck and wistful-like and trying really hard not to laugh.]

But she's just so pretty...

[hostage]

Oh yeah. Gorgeous. Like John Wayne Gacy or Pennywise.

[SHOVE.]

[5055034455]

[Jesse, that was rude as hell.

And apparently also hilarious, because now Saul's laughing, face in his hands as he flops sideways with the force of the shove.]

Wow.

[hostage]

[Shaking his head...]

So, what, you bringing her around here?

[5055034455]

[Still recovering from his laughter.

Then:] I dunno. Maybe after she's settled in a bit more.

[hostage]

You really sure you want her to even know about me?
