cw: cannibalism kinda, underage sex jokes, brief nondescript ref to animal violence

Hiii everyone.

(Have an enthusiastic wave from a girl speaking in a perfected baby voice.)

My name's Jennifer Check and I'd like to put it out there that I'm now accepting human sacrifices. Sexual or otherwise.

(She smirks at her own joke, but really, she's starving.)

And I mean human specifically. I don't do that animal sacrifice bullshit. I'm not some psycho white boy who got turned down too many times by the pretty girl at school and who's weirdly obsessed with making Call of Duty half his personality.

(A big sweeping eyeroll. It's amazing how quick her voice went from Baby-Uwu to Frigid-Bitch. It's not a talent everyone could master, admittedly.)

Anyway. Is everyone around here a prude or something? I haven't seen any cleavage outside of my own in like a whole day. Holy shit. (...DRAMATIC REALIZATION...) Did I get kidnapped by the Amish...

(The last part is muttered to herself.)

Comments

[munchie]

(Jennifer contemplates how much to say. She didn't really care who knew about her situation. She also didn't have the language to describe it either. Needy had her theories, but Jennifer didn't really care one way or another. She only really ever cared about what the situation did for her.

Which was make her super hot and deadly. What teenage girl could dream for more?)

You haven't been meeting the right monsters then. (Namely her. She was a monster. Totally vibing with the hair.)

Wellllll. (She sighs.) It's this whole thing. When I don't eat, I get totally crampy and my skin breaks out and my hair looks like I've never heard of conditioner before. I feel like that one time I got mono back after flag camp - which, by the way, totally wasn't my fault. But anyway, it's like, super lame, and I haven't eaten in a while and look-!

(She learns forward and very unattractively juts her chin up while pushing her finger at a very small pimple that had popped up.)

A fucking pimple. (So naturally the solution was to...murder someone!)

[vibing]

[ Yuri just nods along to that explanation, but he isn't quite putting together what this has to do with sacrificing people-- ]

They're giving out free hotdogs by the beach.

[ As close to sympathy as she's getting here. He raises an eyebrow, then. Well, he gets it.

And blinks, the shock showing on his face. She means eating the sacrifice. She means eating people.

She's asking for someone to eat.

He doesn't really know what to do with that information. He stares at her through that little screen for a long moment ]

Huh.

[ He knows about girls. Right? He traveled with four of them for the better part of a year. What would Judy want in this situation? Judy had that whole effortless beauty thing going on, even though he's pretty damn sure she wouldn't kill for it. ]

Seems like a lot of effort to get rid of a pimple.

cw: kinda tasteless weight loss joke if you squint

[munchie]

(Jennifer stares back at the guy just as long and her face smoothes out into an expression that actually looks borderline irritated.)

You would say that. You're a guy. (The fluctuating softness of her voice has dropped out entirely and she rolls her eyes, leaning back to her original position.)

Guys never understand how important it is to look good. You don't have to look good. Like, cool, you have these totally bitching locks, but even if you were the fugliest piece of shit on earth, it wouldn't make a difference to you.

(Besides...)

It gets worse than this. You know that lifeless hair and bad skin are signs of declining health, right? I get totally heroine chic after a while and all weak and stuff.

[vibing]

I can't argue with that. I've never thought that hard about how I look.

[ It's a damn lie, but he likes to think he doesn't put thought into his looks. It's a defense mechanism to pretend that it doesn't matter, since people already look down on him, he's decided that he doesn't care. He would care if he looked worse, because it would make his life that much harder.

But he doesn't think that hard about it, and just tries to keep his hair from getting knotted ]

Alright, alright, so you have to eat people to stay alive. Do you have people just lining up to do that, back where you're from?

[ If she has to, is her health worth other people's deaths? It's the same damn thing all over again. Which part do you cut? Which one do you keep? He doesn't have a say in this, but it's pinging in the back of his mind that he may well have to if she decides to come after people who can't defend themselves ]

[munchie]

Exactly.

(She does kind of appreciate him being open to accepting that much verbally. A lot of guys back in Devil's Kettle wouldn't even bother with humoring her on that one. They would just write her off as another shallow diva. Which, like, she was, but for a reason.

That reason being the system guys set up to fuck over every single girl and give her crippling self-esteem issues.

She folds her arms slowly over her chest.)

Boys don't exactly shy away from trying to get alone with me the moment they can. It's not really my fault if they misinterpret what I mean by saying I want to eat them alive.

(.......Okay, but is she actually wrong here. Like-.)

[vibing]

[ That shouldn't be funny. That really shouldn't be funny, she's talking about literally eating people but it's all so absurd that Yuri can't help a laugh, shaking his head a little. ]

Hell. Guess you did warn them.

[ He doesn't really want to get into the details about it. At least now he knows never to let his guard down around this girl ]

Man, that's kind of tough. Any takers yet?

[ He guesses that if someone WANTS to be eaten, well. Good for them? Some people would probably love to be devoured by a beautiful woman. He can think of at least one guy who would consider it, at least. ]

[munchie]

(Jennifer grins, seemingly pleased by the laugh. Maybe she wouldn't totally scarf this guy yet. For a while, anyway. He wasn't completely off the table.)

What can I say? I'm brutally honest. Emphasis on the brutal.

(A wise choice and one she wouldn't bother to deter him from. Why not be realistic? She wasn't about to promise he was in some safe-zone.)

No-pe. But there will be. One way or another. We're in a city. There's probably plenty of skeeves walking around.

(Which kind of suggests she has some specific idea of her prey and some sort of actual guidance on who she picks. Jennifer was, at the very least, not a thoughtless killer.)

I don't think I got your name, by the way.

[vibing]

Yeah, there are skeeves everywhere. Hey, I meet someone real awful, I'll send them your way.

[ It's a joke? But also not a joke. Hey, he has a history here with killing people who are awful to others, why not help an acquaintance at the same time? He shouldn't feel a kinship with Jennifer, he's never eaten someone for sustenance, or any other reason, but he sure has taken lives that he shouldn't have for the better of others. Maybe he sees a little of himself in someone who just can't help it. That might be easier to accept in himself than just not being able to deal with the red tape of the judicial system. ]

Oh, yeah. I'm Yuri, Yuri Lowell. Jennifer, right?

[ Should he give his name to this girl who admitted to wanting to eat men, but like literally? Probably not, but the idea doesn't even cross his mind. ]

Anyone ever call you Jenny?

cw: literal ptsd flashback of explicit murder

[munchie]

Yeah, Jennifer.

(Jennifer doesn't really hear the full question. She just hears "Jenny" and she's back on that rock, tied up, with a group of men singing some shitty song with "Jenny" in the lyrics. She could feel the knife coming down and down and down again until she couldn't remember anything else.

When she remembers where she is, what's happening, she has to physically slide a hand over her stomach to make sure it wasn't riddled with holes. When she pulls her hand back, she half expects it to be covered in blood again, but there was nothing at all. There's no rage. Just the same exhausted, disappointed void that inevitably, every man wound up at the same conclusion.)

No.

(She says the word slowly, quietly. It isn't Jennifer who pulls herself up emotionally - it's the demon. Whatever vulnerability was burning in her eyes dries up, and the look that replaces it is cold and controlled. The demon smiles at Yuri, almost playful, a stark contrast to whatever the hell just happened.)

Only total assholes call me that. It's Jennifer or Jen.

yikes sorry jen

[vibing]

[ Yuri watches that change come over her face. He doesn't know what it means, except that he stepped in it, for sure, and that isn't something he really wants to do with this girl. Of everyone he's met so far in this new world, she's the most dangerous, by his estimation. Anyone who talks so calmly and casually about eating people isn't fucking around. Clearly she could kill him without much trouble, and he doesn't really want to die. Not this time. Not like that.

If she does manage to kill him, it'll be because he let his guard down when he shouldn't have.

He doesn't smile back, and just nods. That smile gives him chills and Yuri, if nothing else, knows when to make his exit ]

Right, Jen. Good luck with the whole eating thing.
