it could be a real tag lbr

It's a sketchbook. I'd lose so much work, but I'm not going to kill over it.

[Anyway, that bit about Jessie being unaffected is obviously bullshit, but they're not friends so Marinette's not going to call her out. Instead she focuses on the other discussion]

She definitely has... quirks, and a vindictive side, but if she's in charge of his place, I doubt whoever made her would just let her run wild. Maybe her original programming was less... sinister, and she developed her own personality.

[toprotecttheworld]

If you killed over a few measly sketches [measly in comparison to, you know, someone being alive], you'd be even more awful then me. At least I'd be impressed.

[It's too early to unlock her tragic backstory.]

That's possible, too, isn't it. That's the problem. Everything sounds possible, and unless we've got some sort of genius who can look inside her, we won't learn anything. Why aren't we working on that?

[missmaladroite]

They're not a few measly sketches, but I can assure you I wouldn't. Nothing is worth taking a life over, especially not a material item. [look at this self-righteous ranting, truly, she's a superhero]

Probably because we're getting too hung up on murder. [Jessie stop making sense it makes it hard to have a petty grudge against you] But you're right. We should think about ambushing her and trying to take her apart, or-- something.

[toprotecttheworld]

For once, there's something we can agree on.

[Thievery, not murder. Jessie is more on board with the hero ideology than she really wants to realize.]

It wouldn't be worth it for me to take the risk. I'm good with building machines, but I'm no good with computers. Someone here's bound to be a good fit for it, so someone should ask them. I told your dream date the same thing.

[missmaladroite]

I wouldn't have expected you of all people to agree.... [Maybe there is honor in thieves], but you'd better not make me regret it.

[Marinette drops her voice here, so only Jessie can hear her, though it's probably a futile endeavor]

I can disable her. As long as we have someone good with technology - we may be able to pull this off. [her face goes a little red at the dream date comment, no other reaction!! Wow, maybe she's learning]

[toprotecttheworld]

[She should make a petty comment, but what MArinette tells her is astounding. Is that one of her abilities as a Super Annoying Hero?

She has to pause and consider this.]

I'll ask around. Don't make me regret this either.

[missmaladroite]

[Listen!!! if anyone's going to do regrettable things, it's clearly Jessie.]

Deal.

[this is as close to a truce they're going to get!!] Let's keep each other updated.

[toprotecttheworld]

Just don't think I'll treat you any more nicely. We'll work together, but that's as far as it goes.

[Jessie holds out her hand.

Will Marinette shake it and make a deal with the devil?]

[missmaladroite]

Are you even capable of being nice?

[hesitates, but...... as mean as she acts, she knows Jessie Cares About Things Deep Down. She's slightly better than Chloe.]

[fine, shakes it as briefly as she can]

[toprotecttheworld]

Absolutely not.

[And there, one handshake, done and done.]

Have a pathetic and miserable day, Claudette.

[;)]

[missmaladroite]

One day maybe you'll be smart enough to learn my name.

[ah... nothing's changed then]

[toprotecttheworld]

Your what? I'm sorry, I stopped listening.

[And off she goes.]
