It's fair to say she's getting worse. Jessica's always been a partier, anyone who knows her knows this. But lately, everything's gotten out of control. She's out at all hours dancing her life away. And when she isn't dancing, she's boozing it up, worse than she ever did before. She's distracted, unfocused, and beyond that, the only emotion she feels much of is anger. And it's far better to numb away the anger than to act on it. Even little things like shopping or getting her hair done seem hollow and pleasureless. It's upsetting. It's unnerving. And she'd much rather be drunk, thank you very much.

A ; Training

Drunk or not, a girl still has to look good if she's going to maintain her status as a high profile model and celebrity Victor. Her fortunes may have fallen, but she's got a body to keep up, so in spite of her excess, she's still up by noon and engaged in her work out routine.

B ; Shopping

Her pain can sometimes be alleviated with a new outfit or purse, and as a trendsetter, it's important that she still make some public appearances from time to time. Generally, she's quite easy to spot in her oversized diamond shaped sunglasses, blonde hair piled up, decked out in something eye catching and daring. Jessica is an attention-getter, not one to be ignored, and even on days where she feels like crap, she's going to catch people's eyes.

C ; D3 Suite

She feels most at home in the D3 suite. It's really the only place she has left anymore, as the only known living Victor of District 3. There's no mistaking that the suite is her territory; her belongings are everywhere throughout, and besides that, her image is all over magazines which litter the tables and countertops, as though her Tributes need to be reminded that their mentor is a bonafide superstar. Also littering the common areas? Empty martini glasses, bottles, and a flask or two. Not that Jessica's bothering to hide her liquor consumption from her Tributes. It's not a secret she's got a problem. They'd have problems too if they were her.

He crumbles when she starts crying. He doesn't know what it is in him that when a woman starts crying in front of him, he folds like a bad hand of cards. Maybe it's sexist, but he can't leave with her in this state regardless of what she demands so instead he stands awkwardly in front of her, having stood up when she started to scream, unsure of what exactly to do with himself.

"I'm trying to..." He wets his lips nervously and kneels instead, so clearly out of his depth but care still there on his face regardless. "Jessica, I'm no good at this. You've figured that out by now, I'm sure, but I do know pain. I do. I've killed, I've seen death, everyone I've ever been close to has died at least once. Hell, I've died before ever setting foot in Panem. I know this feeling and alcohol can't fill it, dying is no release. If you don't want us - me - near you then... fine it's your choice, but make it in a positive way. That's all..."

He leans his temple against the arm of the couch, looking at her and wondering if he should go get Barbie. She always seems happier around him, calmer, and who is he to judge codependency when he's the exact same with Jet.

He just sighs and stands at that, not so much giving up as letting it rest for now. It's not a battle, it's siege, and he doesn't have all the weapons he needs to break down those walls. He'll have to send a message to Barbie, the big gun.

"Alright," though he has no intention of winning, never has, and if Jessica were in her right mind he's fairly certain she would have had words with him in regards to that long ago. It's a conversation he's glad to have avoided, but not like this.

"I expect you here when I get back. This isn't over."
