𝑻he aftermath isn't what's important. What is dire is what lead to this moment. It's an odd night, an hour or two past midnight, and she's riding a high no substance can provide. The departed morning was spent in agony, rigid skin & aching bones. She hadn't fed in a while, that gnawing feeling growing stronger and stronger, until one trip to the nearest gas station ended with a bite ── [OR TWO, OR THREE, OR FIVE.] Jennifer hasn't had a record in a while, and most were roadkill and rodents, but that sickening desperation has only grown stronger. Now, for something else. Jennifer could swear something's different. When the hunger strikes, and her not-fed-yet streak hits a few days, she begins to experience the withdrawal ... FLAKY SKIN, scabbing that never heals ─ (it only itches, bloodshot eyes & [STIFFENING OF HER BONES AS IF TO RETURN TO HER ROTTING STATE.] But this time? It felt like she had finally died, as if she had finally been persecuted for all those victims. A year of non-stop killing, so much so, that it feels like getting her nails done.
It felt like she had finally reached 𝙷ell.
Which is precisely why she's in such a good mood tonight. Full of optimism, confident in her own (tanned) skin, lips overly glossy. As her cherries wrap around her joint, there's a ring of sparkle left atop pink wrapping paper ── [CLEAR EVIDENCE TO SHOW SHE HAD ROLLED IT HERSELF.] She swiftly passes it over to Mark, tongue grazing against pearls to exhale smoke from underneath, ceruleans busy scanning the inside of her Juicy Couture handbag. Bare legs are held to her chest, sat upon a concrete ledge, french tips gnawing at her keys, makeup, compact mirror... [BEFORE SHE FINDS THE PRIZE.] Jennifer looks up at him, face immediately uplifted, a wide grin spreading across dollface.
A tiny ziplock bag is lifted. Hanging in front of his face. There's a white powdery substance inside.
@redheid: YOU ARE THE FUCKING BEST.
𝕳ead tilts, cheek leaning against the soft buttery top of her shoulder, an appreciative smile slipping onto skin. ❝ Big time. ❞ She takes a deep breath, and throws it into his lap, swinging skinny fingers to get a hold of the joint again. The truth is, these substances seem to prevent her mind from achieving any peace. For the succubus inside, the high is merely a distraction, something to numb everything: THE BEAST, (the remnants of humanity), ── it all becomes waste once she inhales.
❝ You take the first hit. Y'know, incase it's like, poison. ❞
