she still doesn't care for all this weird parenting she's getting from people. it's not comforting. it's weird. if silco is still alive, she's going to give him a few shakes because of it. ]
An hour. Uninterrupted. She probably won't go far out of the city, considering she's tied to me. And if you threaten her and lose a hand, that's not exactly my fault. But I don't mind borrowing her out. She's used to an old friend of mine, your temperament is undoubtedly better.
( He's already up there by the time she appears. Rainbow dragon out and resting on the rooftop, curled into a ball like a massive sleeping cat. She lifts her head at the sound of an approach, hot air joining the slight breeze as she huffs out an exhale. Geto, sitting cross-legged on the slanted rise, a cigarette packet by his knee, fingers drumming on his thigh, watches as the curse rises a little, stretching out.
His voice is cheerful, bright. )
Jinx-san. No socks to throw at me this time? ( In good spirits, despite everything. ) Don't worry, I'd say she looks fiercer than she is, but she knows how to behave herself.
[ her red eyes are big and luminous, glinting in the sun. jinx is not so far gone that little things don't bring her awe and amazement. she immediately beelines towards the dragon before snapping her attention back to geto. ]
Not this time. Though I always have something up my sleeve.
[ ignore that she's sleeveless. the point stands though. jinx always has something on her. something explodey. ]
Technically she's not really a dragon. ( Not in the mythical sense. ) I come from a world where humanity's negative energy can converge into something solid, something monstrous. She's a curse. Exorcising and absorbing her was a part of my technique, and so only I can control her.
( Sorry, kid. )
But I'm fairly certain we do have dragons here. There's a very tall man who claims to be so either way. I wouldn't advise asking him for a piggyback though. You can touch her.
( Obediently rainbow dragon lowers her head within reach, breath still hot and coursing from her nostrils. )
[ a curse, huh. she wonders if that applies to her too. could you absorb all that is thorny and tangled in her being and make her good. pure. someone who could soar instead of always feeling like you're drowning.
of course, drowning is not so bad either. silco taught her that.
I don't think fix is the right word. They're merely brought to heel.
( He thinks of Kuchisake-Onna and her desperate violence, and the snapping of the dragon's jaws as he sent her Fushiguro Toji's way. No, fix isn't right. And yet rainbow dragon nudges her snout against Jinx's fingertips, careful. He does have kinder curses, just like he has kinder moments. )
She's docile because I want her to be. I was fifteen when I found her. Any fifteen year old comes across a dragon, they're going to want it to be fun, mm?
[ jinx shrugs, laconic. her gaze is still on the dragon as she scratches the snout carefully. mindful of her nails. not that she think it'll hurt but. sometimes there is a thread of empathy in the things she does. or she's just mindful of herself. and the way she guts the world around her. guts out the beauty, guts out the parts.
not even the ugly parts are safe. it leaves her lonely. ]
I guess. Didn't really . . . have much in the way of dreams. Not anymore.
I know a little of your world. I wouldn't blame you for putting all of that aside for survival. ( He understands it. From what he and Silco have discussed he can hazard a guess as to the kind of girl Jinx is. Rainbow dragon butts her hand a little harder, more like an oversized cat that anything else. ) Maybe there's a space here for you to find out what you might like to dream of, no? Even if it's small.
Which is fair. "Winging it" is a survival method all on its very own.
( He knows too many people who cover up their problems via a bright lack of concern for how things might pan out. He can see why Jinx might. But he's also apparently the unwritten supporter of wayward teens these days. )
It can be pretty easy to fall into a pattern of just existing. Take it from someone who knows. But there should still be more. Maybe you can think about it once we get Silco back. Something you might like to do. Start small.

I can lend you my dragon, if you'd like to get away from things for a little while. She's fairly tame with those I don't deem a threat.

So how'd you get a dragon? Can I get one?
you're super okay i'll backtag forever.

That sounds like an awfully quiet way to live, Jinx-san. Is there truly nothing that keeps you going?
no subject
Just kinda . . . winging it, I guess. Making it up.
