[ Jesse shrugs it off. It's less exciting than it sounds. Some doodles in a sketchbook and a box he ended up trading for an ounce of weed. He's got nothing to show for his efforts. He takes a swig of his beer, but perks up a little when Britta starts telling him about herself. He tends to clam up when the topic of conversations drifts to him. He hasn't really felt proud of himself lately. It doesn't help that Mr. White calls him an idiot every step of the way. Sometimes he believes it. ]
Feminist anarchist, huh? Sounds pretty badass.
[ So long as it doesn't mean he'll be totally hated on just for having a dick. Jesse is totally clueless as to the ins and outs of feminism. But he's always been pro women's rights and none of his behavior that might be seen as misogynistic has ever been intended as such. ]
That's cool you're in college, though. I'm sure you'll find some shit you're interested in. Worst case, it's always easy money sellin' on a college campus.
[ It's a major point in his favor that he doesn't roll his eyes or try to make some stupid argument about how feminism is unnecessary or unfair the moment she says the word. Britta smiles, shrugging one shoulder. Yeah, it is kinda badass, huh? ]
Oh, yeah. It's a great place to rally for causes.
[ Not that she's made a major point of doing that so far...look, it's been a lot of work, getting used to being a student again, okay? It's been a long time since she had to worry about classes and homework and shit. But when he suggests selling, she gives him a sidelong look, more wary than intrigued. For the moment, at least. ]
What, are you looking for distributors or something?
I'm sure. I mean, that whole quad area--like, everyone's gotta walk through there at some point. Visibility and all that.
[ He really has no fucking clue what he's talking about, but it sounds good, so he rolls with it, just trying to keep the conversation going. Jesse has a habit of not always admitting when he knows nothing about a subject, particularly when someone seems passionate about it, so he sometimes fakes it. At least just enough to get by in conversation.
Jesse notices Britta's wary side-eye when he mentions picking up selling part-time. He was kidding. Wasn't he? He raises a brow when she asks if he's looking for distributors. Hmm. ]
I mean I could always use more boots to the ground, y'know? But...I'm not necessarily looking. It's pretty much just me right now, far as sales go. Networking, though. I mean. If you know anybody cool lookin' for stuff. Don't like, give 'em my number or anything but you could always do the whole middle-man thing and, hey, tack on a little tax for yourself.
