safety in numbers - their courage is a boldness that esser cannot hope to carry. instead, she's ushered along by the doctor, an expert in knowing just the right action to ease her in. "i'm okay," she rescinds, "we should just grab whatever you two want and get out." she doesn't add in the part about not wanting to hold them down. esser is well aware that she's a ticking time bomb. it's not how; it's when.

for now, they're safe. the hypnotist's little mishap hadn't set anything off, yet. but their discovery paints a different picture. this won't be a simple smash and grab. no, they'll need a little more umph. "let's hurry." esser's frantic, thrown off by the empty display cases. for once, she leads the charge toward the back and is rewarded by an abrupt blare. her mindless rush had tripped one of the infrared alarms. aside from the constant wailing and blinking red lights, nothing's changed. but now time is of the essence.

"oh god, i'm so sorry."

she fucked up. again. they're too far in, so esser doesn't clam up. but it still effects her. she's getting sloppier by the moment.

@dorothy @leia

this is not where she belongs. esser is the odd one out, lost in a somber worry about the consequences of their action. the thrill of the hunt does not bless one that's so used to being prey. her age, her stature, even her pokemon work against her. she's a feeble girl wrapped up something bigger than herself. the pre-heist jitters that exudes from everyone else reminds her of this. tonight, her job is simple; don't screw this up.

black, on black, on black. there's no flare to her outfit. the staple red R is smoldered for their need to hide. or at least esser omits it from her details. she knows she's a burden - so she makes herself indistinguishably. she's used to that - a pawn left and forgotten behind the display rocket's true pieces.

"yes."

it's a blatant lie. her hands shiver as she stumbles out of her seat. esser's terrified.

disclaimer: i am garbage

hi, welcome to esser blackwell. here's a quick tl;dr:

• rocket boss little sister
• can't fight out of a paper bag
• personality of a paper bag
• secret yandere

my little headcanon is that she is the grunt of grunts. she knows of every rocket and serves as the resident slave maid whenever the boss is busy. all the while, she keeps a little death note which keeps track of how likely they are to betray team rocket, their weaknesses, and how she'll murderize them if they turn.

anyone who harms the boss or his plans will turn her into @jing  except she might actually win.

that's about it since i'm not very creative and super boring. i'm pretty open to a lot of stuff but her personality closes a lot of doors. would be nice to have a redemption arc where enough people / interaction teaches her to become her own person but that'll legit take forever and millions of threads unless you can get silas to break her heart.

i guess there's also training to become competent. i'd like that to be through exposure and not directly taught, if that works.

uh, uh, uh, and maybe since she does all the bitch work she has to network for team rocket? scoping out places and making deals idk. anything boring that requires more than a grunt but less than one of those cool underbosses. be sure to check them out as well. thanks for reading. xoxo.

esser wasn't one to mind someone else's business. but, this was different. this was, in an indirect way, rocket business. although far from familiar with the blue haired schemer, she could recognize that mess of wild hair anywhere. where she had seen it? she couldn't remember, but she knew for a fact that it was as a rocket.

and, as a stranger, esser did the only responsible thing; poke him repeatedly. an expressionless stare coated her prodding, arousing the man from his short slumber.
