[powderkegs]

he what.

void man shot you???

[zauneyete]

Twice.

For no good reason, either.

[ Other than: can't be weak in front of silco which actually is a valid reason ]

cw: mental illness, paranoia

[powderkegs]

[ she's been lax.

the lull of this place made her complacent. made her weak. and the forces she always feared are back, rearing their head. she can't trust them, she can't trust them, she can't TRUST THEM —

jinx digs her fingers into her hair. claws at the strands, dragging them out. the pain helps. the pain will always be there. ]

he's a threat then.

[zauneyete]

I suspect he dislikes that I've caught the attention and support of his God, and he'll do anything to put an end to that.

So yes. He's a threat.

[ He can't see her, but he's can... Guess. At how she feels about this. About what it means.]

I'm fine for the moment. I arranged for a pickup. He didn't hit anything viral. Nor did he try, I gathered.

He wanted to intimidate us. We won't let him, of course.

[ Us, we. No man is an island but perhaps silco should not rope his daughter into his grudges. ]

[powderkegs]

where?

i want to be there.

[ the rest. the hatred. the anger. she'll have to figure it out but right now, she has to confirm silco is okay. this isn't the same. she'll chew at the walls until then. ]

[zauneyete]

[ he'll move faster, he knows — ]

I'm on my way back. I'll be there soon.

[ delicately;]

My bodyguard is getting me back to base.

[powderkegs]

[ him. ]

where.

[zauneyete]

[ ralph wiggum: im in danger dot gif ]

I'll be in my quarters. Shortly.

[ Like as fast as his scrawny legs can go when one got shot ]

[powderkegs]

I'll be right over.

[zauneyete]

Alright. I'll be there. I'm fine.

I even shot him back.

[powderkegs]

Did it hit him?

[zauneyete]

Of course it did. I wasn't about to let him get away unscathed.

[powderkegs]

Good.

I'll pay him back too.

[zauneyete]

Will you?

Be careful. He is chosen by Tezcatlipoca for a reason. I do not doubt that he will be ruthless, even if he doesn't look it.

[powderkegs]

I was chosen too.

I can handle it.

[zauneyete]

[ HE'S GONNA KILL HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ]

You can handle anything, Jinx. I don't doubt that.

[ but he can't afford... to possibly lose her too ]

[powderkegs]

Then let me handle it.

[zauneyete]

[ This is his mess. Jinx wants to take care of it. He'd told her he would do the same. Take care of her problems.

He wants to see daybit suffer himself — he wants to do it — selfishly.

But he'd told her he would let her. He's never been able to say no to Jinx.]

Alright.

Watch out for the implants. They will stop you if you try to kill him.

[ Intentionally. ]

[powderkegs]

Who says I'm gonna kill him?

[zauneyete]

[ Because when silco gets mad he loses sense and that's what he would do. ]

Oh?

What are you thinking? Something more... elaborate?

[ he's SO PROUD ]

[powderkegs]

I dunno yet. I need to get the measure of the guy first.

Slow cook it.

[zauneyete]

Learn more about him before he gets the opportunity to surprise you.

[ HE'S SO PROUD!!!!! ]

He's not likely to give something up willingly.

[powderkegs]

He doesn't need to.

There are plenty of ways to get things out of people.

[zauneyete]

Oh quite so.

[ She really is his kid. ]

I'll leave it to you, Jinx. I know you will do it right.

[powderkegs]

He'll get a whopping.
