She doesn’t follow her gesture, instead cocking her head and crossing her arms before her. Stephanie dealt with BATMAN on a daily basis, this attitude was hardly anything to write home about in comparison. Though she imagined the pair would get along swimmingly.
“ PRIVATE or not, don’t you think saving people is more important than whatever confidentiality you think you’re upholding? I ain’t asking you to spoil EVERYTHING, but you’ve gotta help a girl out. ”
Eyes dart around the room, looking for nothing in particular, just giving her a moment to take measure of the woman and think through how she might convince her to offer up the information she needed. What did Batman say? Be Stephanie, not Batgirl. So she falls back to her and grins.
“ How can I make it worth your while to at least give me a NUDGE in the right direction to find the info myself? ”
tenacity isn’t a trait that jess finds admirable under most circumstances. a dead gaze rests on the plucky blonde, rife with intolerance & shock at the audacity. now, she’s run into a number of stupid motherfuckers in her life, but this is the first one to so plainly strut into her workplace & press for a breach of contract.
gaunt hips find a more satisfying angle to rest at. nails drum against the arm of her chair. now her foot is tapping, all of these being clear indications of impatience. tongue rolls against the inside of her cheek, lower lip sucked in as she fights back a churlish groan. “ saving people – what’d you mean by that? “
asking that question isn’t the first time she’s gone against her better judgement. part of her tries to say that it’ll get the woman to screw off posthaste, but somewhere in that cold heart jessica knows that it’s because she’d like to do the right thing. make up for all the bad shit she’s done, if that’s even possible.
stephanie brown, ever impatient, ever-so-terribly impolite, ever-so… well, basically every im- word you could think of at the moment. but at least she has the consideration to look SOMEWHAT sympathetic, flashing a bashful grin as she entertains herself with a lock of hair whilst waiting for the woman to pay attention.
“ right, RIGHT, well, it’s not that arrogant, but to each their own, yeah? ANYWAY, see, we’ve been investigating these guys, couple’a drug dealers, nothin’ too impressive and we came across your name. seems like you’ve been doin’ some sort of thing. so i wanna know, politely, what information you have on one frankie hart. dunno if that’s his real name, sounds kinda dumb, right? but he’s a tall guy, carrot top, mid-thirties? ”
another disappointment. it shows in the way jones hangs her head with a false smile. turns out most people aren’t as nice to talk to as they are to look at – how surprising. seems like another top-heavy, airheaded hopeful looking for a handout. not uncommon in the city. here in the office of jessica jones, though?
well, there are a number of reasons to believe this won’t end up being just another one of those cases.
“ did you see the words on the door? “
she gestures towards it with a pen, tucking a lock of raven hair behind an ear.
“ alias investigations. if you bothered calling first, or even googling that name, you’d realize that i’m a – PRIVATE – investigator. i appreciate that detective friend of your’s sending someone pretty, but that doesn’t mean a whole lot to me. definitely not enough for me to just break client confidentiality agreements because you asked nicely. “
“ Hey, hey, HEY. ” She waves both hands at the woman, attempting to drag her attention away from whatever she was actually focused on. “ Hey, hi, name’s Stephanie, protege to the greatest detective in the world, yada, yada — you got a sec? ”
talk about being one annoying motherfucker. with the phone pressed up against an ear, she locks eyes with the blonde. “ i’ll call you back, trish. “ she says into the receiver, muscles straining to capture the brunt her contempt towards … STEPHANIE.
“ well, that’s pretty cocky. arrogant, even. you’ve got my attention, but make it quick. “
Triggering topics are acceptable as long as they’re tagged.

Mun and muse are both of age.
I reply at the speed of molasses, and I do prioritize threads that click with me the best.
This blog will be loaded with spoilers! Jessica Jones spoilers will NOT be tagged starting January, 2016. Any movie in theaters or between theaters and home release WILL be tagged. Spoilers for TV Shows will ALSO be tagged.
I am available on skype, though I might be spotty. Anyone is free to add me, just be sure to tell me who you are or I’ll assume you’re a spam bot! My skype is {the.yummy.michi}
Mun and muse are separate! While Jessica and I have our similarities, we also have many differences. Don’t assume that Jessica is speaking on my behalf.

This blog is selective!
The reason for me choosing not to follow someone is mine alone.
It takes me a long time to look through my followers. So if you have followed me in the past month or two, I likely haven’t seen it yet. My follower count frequently fluctuates, and I’m lazy, so it is not something I keep up with regularly.
I will prioritize mutuals, but I will also interact with non-mutuals.
Just because I don’t follow you doesn’t mean you aren’t welcome to interact with me or send me an ask.
F E E L F R E E T O...
Remind me about an RP! Just be reasonable and understanding.
Tag me in a starter or send me an ask!
Reply to my open posts
Add me on skype, or message me to plan a thread
Ask the mun or muse questions
Become a friend of mine!
Offer constructive criticism.
Give feedback.
D O N O T ...
Be judgmental.
Attempt to force a ship onto me.
Attempt to force smut onto me.
Be rude, or generally insulting/unpleasant (OOC).
I N T E R A C T I O N S
I am open to one liners, Para, Multi-Para and even Novella length threads! The latter, however, will take longer for me to reply to under most circumstances.
Crack is welcome and encouraged!
I prefer that my partners be literate! This isn’t to sound cruel, but I find it difficult to follow posts in which I cannot understand what is happening.
You do not need to match length, but be reasonable. If I post a paragraph, or multi-paragraph, open starter and you reply with a single line, I will ignore it. There are exceptions, but I’ll leave you to determine these for yourselves.
NSFW will happen eventually! Whether it be smut, gore, ect.
I am very open to ideas and cross-fandom interaction! I also welcome OCs.
Dark topics, ones that typical are identified as triggers, are welcome here as long as they are tagged! Very few things bother me and I’m actually deeply intrigued by the darker side of literature. As long as subjects are handled appropriately, then I am willing to give it a shot.
Unless it is properly justified, your muse should not know every detail about Jessica’s life! Your muse should not have information that isn’t publicly available, unless there is an acceptable reason for it.
I tend to avoid OC Relatives to my muse. I can make exceptions, though, at my own discretion. Contact me before interacting.
I reply to some people faster than others. Please, do not take it personally. More often than not, it is because my muse takes me to certain threads before others. Whether it be because of the character, the writing style, or because I know the mun ooc.
No godmodding.

This is a multiship blog.
All relationships exist in separate timelines/universes/ect. Unless stated otherwise.
I may eventually have a "Main Ship".
Chemistry comes before everything! I have my ships, but it should work on both ends before anyone makes it a thing.
Smut is not a necessity! I’m perfectly fine with including it, but it is, by no means, a requirement.
Smut does NOT equal a ship.
There should be some sort of development before a ship begins!
I DO have exclusive ships, which means I will not ship with a duplicate of the muse. See below.
E X C L U S I V I T Y
Generally, I do interact with duplicates of other muses. HOWEVER, it is entirely possible for me to have an exclusive ship partner or an exclusive partner of a certain muse. What’s this mean? Simply put, if I have an exclusive ship partner, then I will not ship with a duplicate of that muse. I will interact with duplicates of that muse, hell they might even sleep together. But the pair will NOT end up in a relationship. THIS IS A FLEXIBLE RULE. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT IT, THEN SIMPLY ASK. If I have an exclusive RP partner, then that means I will not interact with a duplicate of that muse.

This looks and sounds like a lot. I know that. But, really, this blog is super lax. So don’t let the wall of text steer you away any. Don’t be afraid to just jump in and have fun.
