You know what the sun's all about when the lights go out.

[hostage]

Who: Jesse Pinkman & OPEN to anyone taking shelter at his place
When: 12/12/12 - The Normpocalypse
Where: Jesse's house
Summary: It's like a party except less drugs and music and more awkward silence.
Warnings: Put them in your subject lines I guess.
Notes: Tag in. Tag around. Tags everywhere. Put a time and part of the house in your subject line if you want.


The power's down, but the house is warm during the day thanks to several wood-burning fireplaces in the central area. The fridge and freezer are well-stocked and everything has to be eaten before it rots, so it's a free-for-all. Unfortunately, all the appliances are electric and not gas, but there's a charcoal grill outside for barbecuing and the fireplaces are large enough to heat a saucepan in if you're careful. Tap water is no good, however there's plenty of bottled water that's been stocked for emergencies like this. There's a notable complete lack of alcohol to be found. Candles, flashlights, and extra blankets have been brought out for everyone to use. There's actually a lot of reading material around in the form of comic books, magazines, and reference books that are primarily focused on science and engineering. It might be more fun to explore the house's endless maze of rooms, though.

[Jesse's not playing his usual role of charming host. Today, he's all about security and patrolling. He's pacing around the house and grounds with a gun hidden under his jacket, just waiting for something else to go wrong. Things are actually in his favor with everyone reduced to human strength, but they're also acting crazy as a result. Jesse hates crazy people, so he's on high alert. No one looking to escape the chaos of Sector 4 will be turned away, though - not unless he thinks they're here to cause trouble. And he'll stop for a chat, gladly, even if he isn't in the brightest mood.]

[John hates Jesse. He hates him less than he did a few months ago, but it's still strong enough to be called hate.

However, what he's doing, letting all sorts of people in until this insanity stops, it's good. It's charity, but it's good. He can't not say something, or thank him or something(which, of course, just pisses John off).

John gets to him on one of his patrol rounds,catching him by the arm to get his attention.]

Hey, man.

[hostage]

[Jesse can't help feeling wary when it comes to dealing with John. He likes to think they're both over their feud now, but he's not so sure about it that he can drop his guard. The look he gives John isn't cold, though. Mostly surprise and confusion.]

Hey.

[failedparenting]

[He'd be lying if he said he wasn't happy the kid still wasn't relaxed around him.]

Everything good out here?

[S t a l l i n g...]

So far. Knock on wood, you know. I expect everybody'll be busy up by the Core for a while before they head down this way.

[It's been a rough day. Just getting to Jesse's was a veritable odyssey of collecting the people she cares about, doing her damnedest to start up the giant weird mystery truck from the baseball field (that she has a strange protectiveness about), convincing John that yes, dear, we should go there, it's safer and watching the look on John's face change when he saw the riot outside their building. Driving through a riot- she's pretty sure she hit somebody. She had to have hit someone.

Any way, they got here, all of them, and they're here until this shit blows over.

Early in the afternoon Mary will be poking at Optimus Prime the truck curiously, in her endless attempt to get the thing to unlock its secrets.

Later she'll be hanging around anywhere: either inside polishing various weaponry, making sure Cas and Meowth are okay, talking to Lisbeth, introducing herself to Jane, or whatever. If she's outside, she's patrolling to make sure nobody comes and tries to fuck with the rich people. Everything's going crazy, so anything could happen.]

[How much does John not want to be here? Oh, let him count the ways.

John's opinion on Jesse has softened, somewhat, since he got her out of that coma. Still, it doesn't mean he's not convinced he's still trying to get in Mary's pants. Mary was convinced this place was safe though, and the riots outside left him with little choice.

It feels like charity, being here. John doesn't take to charity well, never has. It means you owe someone, and when that person is Jesse Pinkman...well. Hopefully they won't be here long.

He takes a while to look around the house (expensive, ugly as hell, too much shit) and then goes to find Mary. He finds her neck deep in weapons, cleaning and polishing.

God, that shouldn't be as hot as it is.]

Hey gorgeous. Can I help?

[jokerofcrime]

[Meowth's parked in front of the TV with a bowl of popcorn, watching the footage from the riots like it's a Michael Bay film. But at least he isn't being completely obnoxious.]

This stuff's gettin' pretty heavy.
