I wanna drink until I ache
Who| Jessica & Barbie ; Jessica & Open
What| Jessica stays high all the time and interacts with people.
Where| Various.
When| Anytime after Marius' death is announced.
Warnings/Notes| Barbie gets his own thread, anyone else is welcome to tag in with one of the prompts, or your own!
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.

"We're gonna get out of here, Jess, and we're gonna find somewhere to keep our heads down until they forget about us." Not a particularly hard goal, the Capitol dropped one shiny thing and picked up another faster than someone could blink. "And then we're gonna live the way we want to live. We'll leave it all behind, move on, and make our lives something we want them to be. I know it might seem impossible right now, but I promise you I will make this happen for you. For both of us. Will you come with me?" He wanted her to agree to it. He could push her onto a train and drag all her stuff with him and it wouldn't feel right if she hadn't said yes to begin with. He couldn't help her if she didn't want to be helped.

She closed her eyes tight. What price would they have to pay? What would Barbie have to give them to make it all come to pass? And could she forgive herself for everything she'd put him through? She thought she'd lost everyone and everything precious in the world, but that wasn't true. She still had him. And after everything she'd done, he still wanted her.
"Dale," Jessica whispered, voice hoarse from crying. "I... I'll go with you. Please just, promise me you won't leave me behind."

A smile, small in it's size but huge in the amount of happiness it held, formed. It was happiness he'd been missing for as long as she'd been missing hers. He leaned down again and softly kissed her lips. "Never. I'll keep walking with you, no matter where the path takes us.""

"You mean it, don't you? I'm a rotten person and you still love me. I've been horrible and you'd take me away. Why? I don't understand it. I don't deserve you, Dale Barbara." Jessica shook her head, ran her hands through her messy blonde locks. "I've done everything wrong. I... I must've been good in a past life or something I guess."

He could remember the look she'd given him when he first showed back up in the Tribute Tower, how wide her smile had been then, he'd loved her smile.
"I don't see someone who's rotten, I see someone who's got amazing strength, she just needs to find it again."
