Yeah, a side job. Definitely a side job. The more she thought about it, the more she started to realize that Persephone would be perfect for a gig she had been wanting to take. It was a two-fer. Cory needed a trusted drop-off point for a package to sit just for a couple hours until she could clear the air and kept expected followers on a different trail. Then, when all was calm, she'd come back for the delivery and get it to its address.

Persephone was perfectly unsuspecting. Gardening girl, waitress, probably had no ties to anyone but her employees. A 'broken link' that they'd just pass right by while continuing to follow Cory from either the air or down below - depending on how rich 'they' were, whoever they were. She didn't ask questions, she just ran and got her paycheck. A paycheck that Persephone could split. This one was particularly huge.. she just hadn't had the opportunity to take the gig because the tailing would be an issue.

"Could just spend a couple of hours in the bar.. they'd get bored," Cory spoke under her breath, hand slowly dropping from the plant. "Yeah.." Yeah. Yeah? No! Holy shit, no, she was too high for this! "Oh, fuck, uhhh," she blinked and snapped out of a dazed state, shaking her head and taking a step back. "Uhhh no. Nah, sorry." A small, embarrassed chuckle came from her and she moved around the plant to come back to where her bag was - slouching against the wall.

"Ahhhhnnmmm-fuck. I need a sink," she cleared her throat and marched past the girl on the floor towards the kitchen once she could find it through the damn green everywhere. Cory dipped her head in without a care, blasted the cold water, and let out a surprised gasp at its chill. Time to relatively sober up. At least enough to drive home.

[Persephone Dean]

High School Reunion

Once again Persephone found herself having no idea what had happened to the conversation. Cory was muttering to herself, not even bothering to answer any of her questions. This “side job” remained as enigmatic as before as she mumbled softly, Persephone unable to catch a single word until she finally finished with a very enlightening, “Yeah…”

“Yeah what?”

Cory pulled herself out of her trance with an expletive, moving away from her as though she’d said something wrong. That would’ve been okay if Persephone had actually heard a damn word to be mad or confused about but no, nothing.

She was beginning to be quietly pleased about her decision to decline the offer of stepping things up from cannabis. Sure, she’d been behaving foolishly herself, and she was still failing to suppress the occasional random giggle, but at least she didn’t look like this. Cory was probably handling herself a whole lot better than Persephone would have been in the same situation, but that didn’t mean it was exemplary.

Storming past her, Cory had plunged her head into the kitchen sink and turned the cold tap up high. Persephone stood up and followed hesitantly, unsure of what was going to happen next. She hoped she wouldn’t be about to throw up… that would be messy and inconvenient at best.

“Look if you need to lie down or something, I can get you a glass of water…” Persephone glanced at her garden for answers. “Or I could mix something together that’ll counter-act the fuzziness?” How did she know that? Her power was so weird.

She leaned against the counter beside Cory, watching nervously for signs of puke or passing out. It was less out of concern and more because she didn’t want to play doctors and nurses. Sure, she’d do it if she had to, but Persephone’s nurturing instincts seemed to end at plants, missing human beings entirely. Maybe Cory just needed a quick refresh, something to kick-start her sobriety. Persephone knew she could make a potion for that… somehow. She just needed Cory to say the word.

The ice cold water always threw the heat of her blood into overload - pulsing faster, pumping harder. When she needed to sober up fast, it always helped eradicate the chemicals' effects as quick as possible. One of her hands held loosely on top of the side of the counter's edge while the other raised to run through her short hair under the water, combing fingers into it to make sure her scalp could feel the coolness.

She sniffed beneath the water, trying to wrinkle her nose just right to make a drop fall from the tip of it that was causing a little tickle. Persephone was saying something she only caught the end of, having to bring her head a bit out of the sink. "-..need to lie down or something, I can get you a glass of water.." "Eh?" Cory pulled herself out and stood up, shutting the sink off and squeezing some of the water out of her hair over it so that it wasn't sopping. "Or I could mix something together that’ll counter-act the fuzziness?"

Cory blinked for a second, an eyebrow hiked up on her forehead. Oh, she was worried? With a small scoff and a waving hand, the girl shook her head. "Oh, no, I'm fine. Really, I just needed the water. Guess that was kinda a bad choice of words huh," yeah 'needing a sink' definitely wasn't golden now that she thought back on it. Still, determined to keep away (far, far away) from any other dangerous topic from obviously having gotten too comfortable, Cory walked by Persephone towards her bag, sealed the zippers shut, and pulled it over a single shoulder.

"Welp, chica, I got some shit to do. So, I should head out," she didn't waste any time already heading to the back door now that she could think straighter and focus on a task. "But uh, thanks for the chill. Maybe again sometime, yeah? Text me," she turned her head, clicking her tongue and shooting Persephone a wink before sliding the door open. "Peace out, Poison Ivy." Cory shut the door behind her, slung a leg over the balcony railing, and went back down the same way she came.
