Okay. Hi again. I'm still Jessica Jones. Who for some reason feels the need to introduce herself in every post she makes

Private Investigator? Goodness, that's what is written on my business cards. How curious.

I'm listening.

private;

[fuuuuuuuck]

It's pretty simple: back home, I knew some of the local talent. We'd share information, sometimes, or ideas. Once or twice we doubled up on a case when it looked like extra muscle might be nice. Like that. Opt-in, opt-out, no strings.

Also, damn, I love business cards.

private;

[enigmaestro]

I think it's a useful concept. Count me in.

I suppose it would behoove me to pass one along, my dear?

private;

[fuuuuuuuck]

Your business card? Sure.

[homomachinis]

Almost, but not quite, a super-team?

[fuuuuuuuck]

It's an ex-super team. My first mission will involve beer.

[homomachinis]

Wouldn't that be more like a club?

[fuuuuuuuck]

No, it's a team. I've decided.

[shawnedium]

Color me curious, Jonesie.

[fuuuuuuuck]

Oh hey, it's that guy who wants to fuck Val Kilmer.

Right, the concept's pretty easy. Informal network, occasional information sharing. Possible teamwork. Participate as much or as little as you want.

[shawnedium]

Fuck is too crude. I prefer make sweet love.

I can bounce on that train.

[fuuuuuuuck]

I getcha. You want to do it with mood music.

I'll put your number on the list of possibles.

Does one have to be a practicing private investigator to get in on it?

voice | private

[fuuuuuuuck]

Depends on what else you're practicing.

[acrossyourpath]

It's just something I've considered, once or twice. I'm not a pro or anything, but...

[fuuuuuuuck]

Considered meaning you thought it looked cool in a movie or considered meaning you took the exam and decided to pursue other things for a while?

[shockheadedpete]

And just why're you lookin' to keep information from the police, Ms. Jones?

[fuuuuuuuck]

Shit, we're going through this again.

I'm not. But there're things you can do as a private citizen that you can't do as an agent of the law. Right? Right. Most of the time I just figure out who's cheating on who. Are you so fucking suspicious that you think a legitimate, licensed, private investigator- and I'll add here that I have worked with the police, when the situation demanded it- is trying to pull a fast one on your whole organization? Because, I think you have better things to worry about.

[shockheadedpete]

Just checking.

That's fine, then.
...

Yeah, I am so &*#%ing suspicious. It ain't personal.h

[fuuuuuuuck]

Yeah, I know this network is full of pervs and fuck-ups. I just. I've had to deal with this kind of questioning a lot and I kind of piss off easy.
