From her brain to her lips in no time flat, Jesse's sitting up and looking around and taking stock. The cold, abandoned room: none of this matches the Oldest House or the Overview Motel, which rings a shrill alarm bell inside of her (mind and gut) and has her checking over herself.
She can feel her connection to her OOPs severed, the powers that once were as easy as breathing no longer at her disposal. The fact that there's still a familiar weight at her hip, that's a comfort, and she'll pull the Service Weapon into her hands, try to feel for the command to change its form before realizing that it's vanished. It feels loaded, though, and that's a godsend, a single comfort as she gets to her feet and starts looking around.
She's in better shape than she could be, given the jacket she wears, but not by much. It's not made to help against the kind of weather in here or out there, but Jesse's no stranger to being cold or lost or exploring alien landscapes, which is why she sucks in a breath and heads for the door.
"Any idea what's going on?"
But the familiar feeling of Polaris, still thankfully within, makes it clear that she is just as lost as Jesse is, a new and unpleasant experience to be sure. But she's gone without Polaris being able to guide her before, most of her life if she's honest, and she can do it again. Thus she sets out.
Anyone encountering her on the road will get a companion willing to cover your back and help you if needed, even if she's a little wary of sharing details beyond her name.
Once she hits town, she's going to be just as reticent about her past, but everyone feels better when they're no longer freezing and they get some food in them.
from froth corrupted lungs
Jesse reacts to the fog perhaps faster than most, what with having dealt with a certain pernicious fungus in the Oldest House. Thus as soon as the burning feeling starts, she hightails it- into a building, and then she's going to try and treat it as soon as she can. Getting her to medical assistance might take a little coaxing, but not too much; she's just not used to people taking care of her.
Once the news about the green fog comes out, Jesse will be in the first group of those willing to go out and get some of the healing mushroom for others, even if she happened to miss that particular part of the fun herself. Her people are in danger. There's only one answer for what to do.
sharp claws, yawning maws
It's not like Jesse hasn't faced dangerous, non-human threats before, but she can admit that these things are fricking terrifying. If there's a need to go out while they're prowling, she'll be there with her gun out ready to tango.
"Is there anything in this place that isn't trying to kill us?" A pause as she considers the Oldest House. Specifically, some of the items in the Panopticon.

Like the fridge. And the duckie.
"Forget I said anything."
