Jessie Levinson... A girl who took to smoking cigarettes at age 15. She came from a very farm tough family who knew good work ethic and knew how to keep the lessons well. But in her hard times from the very time she left Camp Caprice in the summer of 2063 after the summer session or season was over... She endured the loss of her mother to Schleraderma... End-stage. It took her hard and from there it got worse for her. Sadder. Her father a little later than that... went for a ride and never came back. Only came to later learn that he died in a crash and it left only her and her brother to remain. Problem was... her brother was Mutilated and turned dead as Caesar's ghost. he was shanked. as reports were to go. She throughout all that between her mother's death and her loss of her brother... Emancipated. She made her way over to California where she came under the tutelage of Andre Possleson. But also came to befriend a girl named Laura Lancaster. A girl who smoked and was seen as the bastard child of her own family and she too was rebellious all the more.

"Jessie: *Sighs* I just lost my mother and my brother and i have been at odds since. My dad even left and has not come back.

Lauren: That sucks, girl. You have had a really ****ed up life since then. But… now that you’re on your own and living on your own… Want to get a start on living a new life. diving into new things to create a new identity for yourself?

Jessie: Sure.

Lauren: *Tossing a carton of smokes to Jessie* Here.

Jessie: What are these?

Lauren: Those are Cigarettes. A Carton of Newport.

Jessie: Where did you get these?

Lauren: One guess. It’s standing over by the end of the walkway that is behind the store we’re only a few feet away from.

Jessie: Do they know that you’re here siphning their supplies?

Lauren: Not a clue. Not a clue at all. Care to have a first light?

Jessie: Okay.

A Minute later…

Lauren: *Holding out her pack and having Jessie take a smoke from her pack*…

Jessie: *Taking a smoke and holding it in her hand* … *Placing it in her mouth and being handed the Lighter*

Lauren: You know… I too am also Emancipated. I did it because my parents hated me. They never loved me. To them… I was considered as the bastard child… one that they never wanted but had.



Jessie: *Lighting up* … *Smoking* … I’m very sorry that you were treated so horribly. Is there anything i can do?

Lauren: I don’t think so. Besides… it’s not your issue to worry about. Really. I mean… that i appreciate your concern and compassion. But you really don’t need to worry about it. Really.

Jessie: I got to head back to where i’m staying at. The landlord will be wondering where i’m at soon as i told him that i was just going to the liquor store to grab some snacks.

Lauren: Okay. Want to meet up somewhere sometime?

Jessie: sure. You have a # where that i could reach you."
