But one time out of ten everything goes perfect for us all.

[hostage]

WHO: Loki & Jesse Pinkman
WHERE: Xavier's #202
WHEN: Tuesday, February 10 (after this)
WHAT: Loki corners Jesse for a heart-to-heart in this Very Special Episode.
WARNINGS: Drugs, cancer, death, and stuff. I don't know.

[As soon as the car's parked, Jesse pulls out his burner to check for messages. Nothing from Mr. White yet, which means he's got some time to himself. Jesse's only glad for that because his encounter with Skye has left him exhausted. He could use a few minutes to recuperate before he has to go back to pretending he's fine.

The walk up to his room is difficult in his current state. He's gotten used to perfect health, so moments like these feel even worse than they would have if, say, he had lung cancer all along. He's coughing by the time he reaches his door, and still coughing when he stumbles inside.]

[Well, he'd say, "Fuck you for ruining the only good thing in my life," but he acknowledges his own part in that. And also he's really pushing his luck here.]

I dunno. What else is there? You got more advice for me? I don't talk to gods on the regular.

Asking for advice generally costs you. At least, something that I don't freely give.

[ he waves a hand and heads for the door, waving his fingers. ]

Toodles.

...Seriously?

- Yo, what about the trap thing?

[ Loki's hand is on the door knob, and he looks back at him with a curious look. ]

Oh—I'm sure you'll figure it out. It's kind of like an annoying riddle that you already know the answer to. Tah-tah!

[ and out he goes with a wave of his hand. ]
