008. 💥(TXT) ⇁ TABLET

i dont know what the hell is going on here but i cant leave this stupid town. theres this invisible wall or something thats keeping me in here. but the local losers are moving in and out of this place just fine. what a load of crap. stupid big wigs and their heebie jeebie magic sparkles. if anyone can get out of this dump, i need a favor. ill even pay u as a trade off for it.

u wanted me to keep my head down when it came to my havoc fun. and i was going to do that, honest!! with those guards. but this dumb bird knocked the hexgem out of my hands. and... and i had no idea it was going to do that! it never went haywire like that before. i mean not since the VERY first time i messed with it. and it was working FINE with ekko's hoverboard. so i dont get why it acted so weird. ive dropped it SO many times in the past but this time, it was like it had a mind of its own or something. i tried to grab it, really i did. but then it just... went off.

[He made a low 'hmmm' sound in his throat, and it made sense. She would call it her Jinx, but he was already considering that this was instead a fortuitous opportunity to access both the Council's hold over them and conflict provided unique situations to slip in.]

You did nothing wrong, Jinx. We've been handling and working with the gemstone since we have both been in this place.

You are trapped in town, not in the house, so if something were to happen in Rumpitur, it can't be traced to you. You should consider concentrating on setting up your recycling business with the time that Council has provided you.

but word is already traveling that a chosen caused what happened. sure, i WANTED to make them pay and hurt them but not like... that.

( a slight pause before she sends another text. )

the council did something else to me too.

Don't worry about the rumour mill. They can know that it was caused by you, but the thereafter will not be. We will use this to our advantage, Jinx.

[He saw the additional message, and there was a flare of anger. This Council...]

What did they do?

they messed with my shimmer blood again. but now its MORE than that. if i try to run with my shimmer, i vomit and get so much pain in my stomach. i was talking to raggie about how i want to hurt jerry and the same thing happened. i think they have control of my body.

[There was barely contained anger in his voice at her little reveal. How dare they overstep like this!]

It will be a temporary situation, if the Council's other silly punishments are anything to go by.

Are you experiencing withdrawal effects?

not yet. but its only a matter of time.

[He made a soft unhappy noise.]

We will find a way to subvert the effects. I know someone who could potentially assist.

[Though he would hate to owe another favour, but for Jinx, he would do it in a heartbeat.]

im sorry.

For?

for all of this. again i cant protect u if something happens or help with whatever u want to accomplish. im useless. again. i promised myself and to u i would do better this time but i keep...messing up. u should dump me and find someone better. a better #2.

I'm still in Aldrip, and I don't plan on leaving the city. You are fully capable of protecting me here.

[He let her say her peace though, aware of her insecurities.]

That's not the way that works, Jinx. You're my daughter, and I will stand by you always.

and ill stand by U always. i love u so much so never ever forget that ok?

I know you will. You're the only one I can trust.

[Codependency much?]

when i get home, im curling up next to u and then ill die.

( sure, she is being dramatic, but she feels horrible. )

I'll be in my office for the rest of the day and evening.

perfect. im getting chuck to deliver us some food. im feeling like garbage and not in the mood to shop.

Edited 2024-02-05 03:17 (UTC)

You have a new Chuck already? Description of this one?

tall, thin, blonde hair, glasses, a whiner, and does whatever i tell him to do like a good boy.

The twins then. New comers with one being a buffoon and the other being terribly serious.

I see you tormenting them both. Good.

how else would i introduce myself and make them feel welcomed to their lovely new home?

You always create the perfect amount of discord to bring out the best in people and let them reveal their weaknesses.

no one is indestructible besides us.

( and vi and ragna and ken and a few others but she'll keep that to herself. )

There are others. Your brute can have an added arsenal if we can also reel these two in. Then I know you'll be well protected.

[And potentially him by extension.]

wait. so that means u approve ragna?
