Do you think this individual's ability can overpower mind control protocols, pre-programmed triggers, or other similar things that's already been placed in a person?
[ its almost kind of funny with how long it took for her to write this short message. almost. ]
[ yeah she knows. why sling comebacks when the ultimate joke's always gonna be on her. she'd go so far as to not read his messages at all but that's playing fast and loose with other peoples' wellbeing, knowing him. ]
I've had time to create safeguards. As I'm sure you'd expect. Come within twenty feet of me or threaten me in any way and there will be consequences. Same goes for any accomplices you've picked up. Don't do anything you might regret.
[ there are more questions she wants to ask but she feels like she's revealed too much as is. its honestly uncomfortable so- ] Is there anyway I can thank you for alerting us to this man or taking the time to speak with me? I know you must be busy speaking to the others about this.
[ how can jessica say that? frank feels nauseous reading her response, knowing now without any doubt that kilgrave hurt her. doesn't she care if it happens to anyone else? it tears his mind in two for a long time, long enough that he leaves the reply all night. he can't tell her he won't do something -- he knows eventually he will. he'll probably get himself compromised in the process but he can't just leave her there, knowing he's doing whatever he wants--
days come and go and then it's the weekend. frank sees kilgrave flaunting faith around the meeting like she's a lifesize doll. he hatches a plan. it's probably a terrible plan, but he doesn't have anything else. which is precisely how jessica ends up with a message from hotdog in the middle of sunday night, desperate and scared. ]
[ yeah she seems like the type. she was more surprised not to hear from him in the intervening time -- most surprised not to hear of him, at the ass end of a bad plan he enacted regardless of exhaustive cautioning. in their limited exchanges, Kara didn't come off as someone who could recover from murder and if Kilgrave catches a whiff of SHE WILL NOT CALL HIM HOTDOG, he'll get Reva'd into next week, and Jess knows from personal experience that just because someone doesn't stay dead doesn't make living with the memory of snuffing the life from their body any easier. keeping an eye on Kara from a very careful distance inadvertently blinds her to Faith's situation. she assumes that's what this is about, that she just missed something due to being out of her head on sobriety. ]
[ might as well ask here since it's the same method he'll be using to tell her when they're in the same room. not like she'll believe anything he says until she's there herself. it's almost definitely a trap, in which case she'll slit her own throat. with that certainty, boy does she ever feel exactly the same as she's felt for the past four days. well time to go. ]
