[deushexmachina]

I know. For bullet-making reasons. I'm not planning on getting myself killed.

[jinxs]

no silly not for that

for vikce

[deushexmachina]

[A longer pause before he writes back.]

You two do seem to talk a lot.

[jinxs]

he's the closest friend i have

except for ekko

but we're... complicated

[deushexmachina]

Your boyfriend.


Your friend who is a boy.

[jinxs]

yeah, friend who is a boy

think... childhood sweethearts that went wrong due to a lot of murder and conflict of interests

you'll meet him soon enough

he's a genius too. but he's lame

[deushexmachina]

[In a different, non-magical journal where he takes his notes, he writes: Jinx's Boyfriend, referred to, by Jinx, as "genius, lame."]

Think he's amenable to working together?

[jinxs]

i might have told him we'd help fix his shit

he reaaaaaally hates piltover though

like big time

you included

but i don't see him being a problem

unless it's with me

that he has a problem with all the time

2/2

[jinxs]

ekko and his lil co of misfits

have these stupid real hard to shoot at hoverboards

i think it broke

i don't want to help fixing it out of spite

he might ask you

[deushexmachina]

Sure, always interested in innovative engineering. Sounds relevant to my interests.

Not just as a peace offering.

[jinxs]

we used to make things together when we were tiny all the time

lil gadgets

if you use that engineer angle he might end up really liking you

[deushexmachina]

I am an engineer, first and foremost. A physicist, scientist, hextechnologist in due part of that first step. Maybe we can see eye to eye.

[jinxs]

see

it will be just swell cheeks

are you nervous?

[deushexmachina]

Should I be?

[jinxs]

that doesn't answer the question

you're literally the only topsidder

don't you all think we're savages who will burn you at the stake

[deushexmachina]

I'll think that when you give me reason to.

[He wasn't super fond of the signs of himself, Man of Progress, with a drawn noose around his throat at the bridge that day. He can't decide if he prefers how Piltover whispered its violence.]

[jinxs]

hah! says the guy that looks VeRy UNCoMfORtAbLe when i come close

like ur having a heartattack

[deushexmachina]

You seem to enjoy it.

[jinxs]

it tells me what you think of me more than you do

i think it's both funny and an indicator

[deushexmachina]

Indicator of what?

[jinxs]

nevermind wonderboy

are you bringing the alcohol

i am sure i'm going to need it

[deushexmachina]

Self-fulfilling prophecy, but okay.

[jinxs]

i forgot to ask

you drink right

[deushexmachina]

Yes, socially. Not too often but I would for this.

[jinxs]

i was raised in a bar

its water
