straightforward answer is because I know the guy and I had a feeling he might not have mentioned it. won’t guess his reasons since I don’t know them at the end of the day but I think it should be known, obviously
complicated answer?
It’s because I’m Tezcatlipoca, god of conflict, and Silco became my acolyte when he killed my brother. He's undertaking my Trials, and that information is part of one of his lessons.
granted it's not like he had much choice in it so much as I just told him that was the case. but I don't ask for worship in the traditional sense. he essentially just provides it by existing. conflict everywhere he goes, right?
plus plenty more but it all amounts to the same result. I favor him.
[ The comment amounts to a bit of a personal joke, though. The idea of a reflection is big in his symbolism and the way that humanity has a relationship with him, so. A bit esoteric, to say the least. ]
I'm on his side of things if that's your concern. hoping his future is better than his past. that kind of cheesy stuff.
but yeah. can be double edged. definitely wouldn't disagree with that take.
since figure you'll at least have a talk with him right? it's a conflict that'll force him to think about it. and I'd hope something good comes out of it. for both of you honestly. but also might not. that's the other edge, and I don't have any control over where it falls.
[ this is being incredibly generous. as if anything good has ever come out of jinx and silco. they're rotten to the core. all mildew and poison. everything they touch, everything they have ever done. silco loves her because he sees that in her. and more.
but it's still rot. still cursed. it's still . . . jinxed. what good is even there? it leaves her cold. seeing him again — good was not even a word that crossed her mind.
he lied to her. for that, there'll be a reckoning.
then same for me. I've gotten to be a little nosy and didn't expect to give the whole run down right away.
you want to chat more you can hit me up. or hell I bartend at this shitty dive called 12 steps down if that's more your style. can even contribute to giving kaladin a headache that way
[ kaladin probably gets a headache at this very moment from vibes alone... ]
silco's place I'm guessing? [ haha.......... ] wish I could visit since it sounds like my kind of chaos. the bar and zaun in general. maybe next world-hopping adventure will spit me out there who knows
regardless sounds like I've got a mission to go grab some fun straws next time I go shopping. why the hell not. I like the idea of embellishing some of the cheapest drinks in town
[ like putting a straw in the worst, cheapest beer you can get, that's just funny ]
unless it's something crazy should know how to use it no problem. hell back where I'm from I set up a few manufacturing facilities for making a few different kinds of guns. all the way from pistol to gatling so I know more about the ins and outs of them than most people.
probably tried more models than most people too but most of that was in the course of "shopping" for designs I could steal
[ which is all true!
..........he's just also cursed to be an awful shot. don't worry about that. he isn't. ]

you want the straightforward answer or the complicated one
no subject
But I'll take the complicated one if that's not on the table.

she'll just have to let that percolate. for now. ]
I'm guessing favors are kind of double edged. With your whole conflict deal.

that answer your question decently?

Grew up in one. They put straws in my drinks.
[ he. he put straws in her drinks and jinx bullied everyone else to do it. or silco did. who knows? memory is a tricky thing. ]

Get the curly straws!

might as well go all out since they'd be "specials" for specific people anyways

I'll even make sure they don't blow up.

I'm the weapons specialist. I make things go boom.
no subject
oh shit for real
nevermind the straws then (or maybe that's a bonus)
how do you rank guns on the scale of things that go boom
no subject
Lots of factors. Cannons are better for explosions. But I have a little gun rigged for extra fire power.
no subject
now that's what I like to hear
I've got a big fondness for pretty much any weapon that goes boom but guns especially so. personal favorite in pretty much all of human history
so if you make anything particularly interesting I would be extremely interested in giving them a shot
no subject
So I can do whatever? As long as it's "interesting"?
no subject
yeah. I’m down for a surprise
no subject
How good are you with guns?

But also I'm not liable. It's all you, etc etc.

course if it's the kind of shit that's got kickback that would dislocate a shoulder or something like that? let me know
