Fall 2013 Club Fair, Gym, Friday Afternoon

Jackson had entirely forgotten about the club thing over the summer. So, yeah, there wasn't going to be any organized lacrosse this fall. Probably for the best since they seemed to have like half of Beacon Hills' team going here now from various world's and it could have gotten messy.

And Jackson also kind of stumbled upon the club fair by accident. But since he was here, he grabbed a copy of the schedule and decided to at least give a cursory glance to what was on offer this time around. Even if he probably wasn't going to sign up for anything. There were better ways of celebrating having managed almost an entire full moon under control. But still.

Club fair.

Raven had never heard the term "big bad" before. "He seemed nice enough to me. Mostly just kind of irritated that I kept wanting him to do god things."

Like turn blue. Come on, you didn't just say you could be blue and then not prove it.

"This is just a guess, but I doubt he really wants to show off exactly what he can do until something comes up where he has to," Jessica said. "If you have an ace and as many enemies as he does based on who he is, it doesn't hurt to hold on to the ace. I could see myself doing that in his position."

Mostly because she WAS doing that!

"That makes sense," Raven said. "But he's telling people he can. Doesn't that kind of defeat the purpose?"

"Not really. If you brag enough and don't back it up, people start to wonder if you're bluffing," Jessica explained. "And then you can start pulling the double and triple bluffs to confuse the issue entirely and that's the point where I stop paying attention. But that would be right down his alley."

It did sound like a Loki sort of thing, didn't it.

"Not too terrible a strategy," Raven mused. "Though you'd have to be able to keep track of all the bluffs. It's easier if you can just be a whole new person each time."

Er.

"I'm guessing you've learned a thing or two about that being a foster kid, right?" Jessica asked. "Again, not judging. I've reinvented myself a few times. I think that's how I stumbled into being a freaking cheerleader."

"To say the least," Raven said. "And, you know, sometimes it's fun to pretend to be someone else just around town."

Speaking of, she was thinking it might be time to have Ms. Clara Barton make another appearance. . . .

"I did that for a job interview once," Jessica admitted.

"Did you get the job?"

"Yes," Jessica said. "It didn't end well, but that was probably to be expected."

"I guess so. You'd have to keep up the charade the whole time."

And Jessica probably couldn't even shapeshift.

"I'm not a good enough actress for that, really. I was mostly just myself with a different name," Jessica said. "But hey, it was interesting while it lasted."

"It takes practice," Raven said. "If you kept it up, I'm sure you'd be great at it."

"If you have any pointers, I'd love to pick your brain about it sometime since it sounds like you know what you're doing," Jessica said.

"The main thing --" other than being an actual shapeshifter, "-- is to never back down. No matter how dumb the lie you thought of on the spur of the moment. If they think you're an idiot, it's okay, because they don't actually know it's you!"

"The idiot part would have been tough that time with the job. It was at a pretty high tech lab," Jessica said. "But I like the spirit of what you're saying. That makes a lot of sense."

"We could give it a go some night," Raven suggested. "Something low key, like a night out on the town."

Well, it was lower key than a job application, anyway.

"Sounds like fun. I'm in," Jessica said. "I should warn you that I do have a slightly wacky history with nights out on the town, but I swear none of it has ever been my fault."

Somebody else sent the assassin after her, after all. Totally not her fault.

"Now you've got me curious," Raven said. "Did it involve the police?"

"There was a bit of a bar fight. It got taken care of. No harm, no foul. And more importantly, no arrests," Jessica noted.

"That's good. It's always best to avoid arrests. Or angry villagers with pitchforks."

She might sound like she's talking from experience, there.

"And here I thought villagers had moved on to lawn mowers by the '50s," Jessica noted.

"They save the pitchforks for special occasions."

"Good to know. If we see pitchforks, we should feel honored and run like hell," Jessica said.

"I'd swap the order --" and add in a panic attack, "-- but yes."
