alright, u stupid hunk of junk. are u going to start sending my messages now or what?

isha.

i dont know if ure here. i mean, ive looked through this a million times and i cant tell what kind of username u'd make for urself. i thought maybe scuttle butt, but. i dont see it.

[.........]

or maybe u just dont know how to use these yet.

but

if ure seeing this, its me, jinx. and im here. im not in aldrip, but im on my way there. i need u to either find a safe place, or find an adult.

if u find someone, show them this message and stick with them, ok?

if u want to try writing to me, there should be a keyboard that will pop up for u and itll show u the alphabet. the letters are not going to be in order, but thats ok. its supposed to look like that.

then u press whatever letter u want. start something short. like "hi". then press that little arrow besides the smiley face. or u can use that smiley face button and send one to me if thats easier. think of it like its an arcade game. i know it looks intimidating at first, but ure smart. i know u'll figure it out.

if u come across vander at all, just keep ur distance from him for now.

if hes here.

i dont know what the rules are when it comes to. him.

but everything is going to be ok, i promise. love u, kiddo.

and everyone else

look for a 7-8? year old with braided blue hair like mine. and shes dressed like me, too. she has big golden brown eyes. if she doesnt talk to u, thats normal, she doesnt speak. this place gets pretty jacked, and i just dont want her hurt again. and i know the council or the big wigs have a knack of bringing dead people here sometimes and

[...]

she might be really lost and confused. so. if u find her, please watch over my kid until i get there.

and same goes if u see a beast who doesnt look like hes from here. not the typical aldrip kind of monster. just stay away, dont attack, and let me take care of him.

if any of u see my sister vi, please dont tell her where i am. its important that we stay away from each other. i know shes just going to try and find me

but

trust me. its for the best. she needs to learn how to move on from me.

What of the undercity?

it went to shit for a little while. everyone went cuckoo after u left. people were fighting over who was in charge of what part of the lanes, most of the chem-barons were dead.

our people were straving, way worse than before.

[That hurt to read. His life work in the mud because those idiots didn't have anyone to focus them. He felt a flare of unreasonable anger regarding his death.

He had been so close.]

Of course. Worthless maggots picking at the corpse of a dream. Did you lead them? Or Sevika?

u mean the chem-barons? they were too busy fighting each other to listen to anyone. but smeech came after me. piltover tossed a big stinky reward on my head to anyone who handed me over.

sevika got rid of him, though. nothing but a dead rat in the gutter.

I expected better of Renni. She had the temperament to hold their leashes. Smeech does not surprise me; he adored my seat as much as he wanted it for himself. He was always willing to cut a deal and that made him reckless. Hmm, one can always count on Sevika to knock the heads together. You went into hiding to avoid being hunted? Did they send the enforcers?

word on the streets said she died. i dont know how. didnt bother to look into it.

yea, she really came through for me. she didnt had to, but i also built her a new arm, so. guess it makes us even. turns out lefty isnt so bad of a number 2 for u, after all.

im already missing her, actually. i hope shes okay back home. but maybe she'll wind up here later.

kinda. no one bothered to chase me down, despite my mug being plastered everywhere. but then the enforcer released the grey in the undercity, and used *that* to lure me out.

[It wasn't supposed to end this way. He had them in line. He had underestimated Renni's stupidity; she hadn't been the same after the boy.

He supposed on that fact he could grudgingly understand.]

Oh you only realized that after I kicked the bucket, did you? I never chose her as a second for her shining charisma and impeccable looks. Hmpt, the less of us, the better. We don't have the benefits of the undercity for a class war here. We don't give up our people. [That had been one of Vander's few good ideas that he tolerated to this day.] Piltover used the Gray? Actually? I didn't think they had it in them.

hey, come on. dont make me sound like a jerk.

[except she realizes now that she was pretty shitty to sevika, and caused a lot of headache for her. that woman definitely didn't deserve it. but this is her way of trying to lighten the mood a little bit.]

yyyyep! choked and smoked a lot of us. but then i rerouted the vents and gave them a taste of their own medicine. fair is fair.

No effort is required to do that. That's my girl. I knew I could rely on you. What a symbol you would have become.

[He had spent a lifetime trying to unite the underground and it seemed all that was necessary was dying so Jinx could take his place. Imagine that.]

ha! funny u mentioned the symbol thing.

You united the underground, did you?

noooot by choice. i didnt choose the janna hero job, the job chose me.

or i guess the zaunites chose me, too. still think theyre off their rockers.

but then seeing how they looked at me after i saved them with my own eyes, i... i dont know. it felt nice. i liked it.

You lead a direct attack against our oppressors and then turned the Gray back against Piltover? That sort of action immortalizes you in people's minds. I am proud of you.

u are?

You did what I could not but had always wanted to. Of course I am. The underground ripe for a full uprising.

But you shouldn't be.

I burned down the Last Drop. I couldn't bare having it standing anymore when everyone I cared about lived there and then died.

You burned down out home?

yea, i did.
besides what would be the point?
ure werent there, or vi, or vander, or isha. i guess i could have left it for sevika. but she even wanted it with everyone gone?

[The initial shock had worn off within minutes. Then he just laughed to himself. His chaos germlin daughter remained such a point of change.]

Don't burn the one down here. I still happen to be present in it most nights. If you do, let me remove the contents of my safe first. You have typed the name Isha more than once now. Who is that?

only if ure not a hallucination. ure not popping out in front of me, so maybe ure real. but im still not fully convinced. i need to do the touch test with u.

[... but if he's a hallucination, he should know who isha is. although, silco never came to her when she ordered him to. so maybe he still doesn't know about her. either way, there's a slight delay in her response — a lot of typing, stopping, then typing again, because isha is multiple things to her. not just one. so what should she settle with?]

shes my little girl. she came from the sky.

That can happen as soon as you arrive. I will meet you at the outskirts of town as soon as you let me know you are close enough. As in, you adopted a child?

ok, ill let u know.

yea.

Tell me more about this child.
