In the land of Gods and Monsters, I was an angel lookin' to get fucked hard.

[hostage]

Who: Jesse Pinkman & Eponine Thenardier
When: Early evening of Saturday, December 30
Where: Crossroads
Summary: Eponine is Mr. Gold's whore. Jesse takes advantage of the situation.
Warnings: Not like that, asshole.


[Jesse doesn't think there's a single moment that Mr. Gold's unaware of what's going on in his shop, but he's not too concerned. After all, he's not looking to break a deal. This isn't a rescue mission and he's not a hero. Listening to Yosuke's story the other day, however, gave him an idea. It's probably one that Mr. Gold would approve of, too.

When he's finished for the day, Jesse usually leaves straight out of the back room without sticking around to chat. Today, instead, he drifts and inconspicuously stalks Eponine to a corner of the shop. With a sweet little smile on his face, he leans over and brushes her arm gently with his palm to get her attention.]

Hey, excuse me - um, sorry, I forgot your name. You got a minute?

[She doesn't take it]

I don't want you to forget about the job.

[Well, the money,really. She's happy to be paid to do nothing]

[hostage]

Ah, it won't work on me anyway. I'm like a Void? But I'm gonna give you something else so you can see I ain't just messing around with you.

[makeflowersgrow]

[She grins then, and takes his hand]

Well, as long as you won't forget that thousand dollars...

[hostage]

Definitely not forgetting.

[He holds onto her hand for another ten seconds, this time giving her rain creation. It's simple. It's showy. Most importantly, it isn't dangerous.

When he releases her this time:]

Make it rain. In here. Right now.

[makeflowersgrow]

Rain?

[She looks around in confusion, as if a magic cloud might have suddenly appeared above her head. But then she begins to concentrate - is that not how Jesse had said the other power worked? She looks up when she feels a drop of water on her nose.]

Is it working? Have I done it?

[hostage]

[Jesse can't tell any better than she can whether it's working or not. He looks up and puts his hands out, laughing when he feels a few drops land on his palms and on top of his head.]

I think you're doing it, yeah!

[makeflowersgrow]

[There's a loud crack then, and suddenly rain is pouring from the narrow cloud on the ceiling, drenching them both and the rest of the office. Eponine grins]

Whoops...sorry.

[But this is the most amazing thing she's seen, except for the money, and she's controlling it. She lets the rain hit them for a few minutes, enthralled by the sheer thrill of making the rain happen, clapping her hands in joy. She's never felt so powerful. She's steaming just a little; her core-given power is to always stay warm. But, after those few minutes, she closes her eyes again, willing the rain to stop. It slows to a trickle before dying off completely, and the cloud disappears with a pop.]

I DID IT!

[hostage]

[Jesse lets out an enthusiastic whoop, pumping his fists into the air and spinning in a circle while the rain comes down. Then he... remembers he should probably keep his secret meeting a little quieter. It's funny, how thrilled he still gets over this stuff, but he only ever sees a power when someone else is using it. His own ability couldn't be any less exciting to him, even if it does earn him absurd amounts of money.]

There, see? I promise, I'm not tricking you about the memory thing.

[makeflowersgrow]

[Eponine's still grinning, even as she pushes her wet hair out of her face]

I believe you. Can I show people this one? Yosuke and Hattie and - oh, it'd be funny to soak Hattie!

[hostage]

Sure, long as you don't tell 'em where you got it. Say the Core did it or something.
