(no one really knocks, so that's strange. maybe it's just that weirdness of actually having a door, instead of being out in the open as much as one can be with her choice of living quarters at home.
it makes her frown, but she just yells from the bed she's resting on.)
[ Or maybe it's the fact that your dad knows that if he just barged in, that this would be another fight — and that's if she isn't with someone else. In Zaun, he would have just walked in, taken it as his right to do so, but Jinx is... different. Her shape is bigger than the one he'd always put her in. The edges of her don't align with what he thinks of as his daughter.
It leaves him aimless, and scrambling to find a ways for her to fit back in the box he'd always had for her.
It's like she's becoming bigger than what he'd ever expected of her. ]
(there will be a fight, whether he wants one or not, because her eyes roll immediately upon hearing his voice. she's hurt, and she's been hurt by him, over, and over again. why did she expect anything different? of course he couldn't let it go, even if it were not his own people to free.
so, she jumps from her bed, arms crossed with her chest puffed and her chin high.)
We need to talk? You need to talk. I've talked! I talk to you all the time. Even when you're not... There, I'm talking to you. Thing is, Silco, you don't listen. So, what is it this time? Vander made you do it? You were working on finding the King on the backstage? Or, let me guess, the knife just happened to go through his arm.
[Predictably, he's in her inbox now. Congrats, you get the first "video" message he's ever sent someone. He does, in fact, look desperate.]
Jinx. It's not about me, it's not about you. It's about the gemstone's stability in this world. It's tied to ancient, crystalized Runeterran magic from the Shuriman deserts.
You know what kind of damage it can do when it's at it's peak potential. We need to know it's safe to use here. If you want to conduct the studies on your own, fine. Get a partner, do it together. But it needs to be researched before you use it further. Please.
You didn't always go by the name Jinx. Your sister is Vi, and you were raised by both Vander and Silco. Your birth parents are dead. You have a... friendship with Sevika, where you both respect each other but won't say you care about each other. You're a brilliant scientist, but won't work on anything except weapons. You're, somehow, a symbol Zaun has decided to rally behind.
all that tells me is that you actually listened to what we told you and you got buddy buddy with vander. trust me there you are not special he goes buddy buddy really quick, golden boy.
(Oh. She wasn't expecting company, her head almost buried in the stack of papers and calculus she was busy working on. Gadgetry will always be in her blood, and that junkyard is a treasure land for her.)
[ He's almost surprised that there's no traps, or explosions, but seeing Jinx more focused on papers than gadgets certainly leaves a... confused, sour taste in his mouth. Was there something she was researching, or was it —
I've volunteered for the Solmara mission, and it sounds like a desolate infiltration job. In case things hit the fan, I just wanted to say that I love you and I'm proud of you. These couple of weeks working the bar with you has been a highlight of my stay here. Maybe hold off gunpowder in drinks though.
Take care of yourself and have fun at camp. Think of it like when we used to make blanket forts when you and Vi were little. Take care of the old man too; I expect he'll be more miserable than usual.
It is a desolate wasteland, so I do expect to be chewing on some dust while we're there. I wanted to make sure you were aware that I was going and it is dangerous. I want to know you're being provided for, that's all.

Date: 2025-03-01 08:52 pm (UTC)He could barge in, but Silco is hesitant about that. He doesn't want another encounter with... her other father.
So it's actually polite. He has something to show her (it's a new lair) but also... there's the elephant in the room, too. ]

See network for further details.

Best I can figure currently is one of them decided to shoot the others up and go after Aurora's tech.
