Maybe I was curious and wanted to play with your toys for a change? I promise to give them all back when you push through this momentary lapse of weakness.
Tell you what next time we are together maybe you can finally let me give Pow-Pow a try.
so what, are u telling me every time i want to hurt myself, ure going to swoop in and gank all my weapons? good luck with that. u got ur work cut out for u.
pow-pow is in the middle of going through a makeover. im combining her with fishbones. its what i wanted to do while we were getting ready. or maybe i *did* complete rhino in ur timeline.
anyway, ill let u use them. havent decided the gender. fishbones was a boy and pow-pow was a girl. so i guess "they/them" would work.
Rhino? So that's what you called it. You did in fact complete its recreation before we joined up with Vi and the others in the assault against Piltover from Ambessa and the Herald both.
You know...If you'd like some help I am always here to assist you but maybe when things calm down. Not sure I can willingly approve of working on it right now given the situation.
... if ure still here tomorrow, i'd like for u to help me. theres a part of ur hoverboard i want to use for it, but im having a hard time taking out the fan. almost punched myself on the lip pulling it apart.
the answer ure looking for is flattery. being any part of my creations is nothing to sneeze at. it means u made it to the top. and besides, its a bonus deal to have me think of u whenever im off killing something.
monsters. not people.
ok, wait.
maybe people, but ONLY self-defense. i miiiiiiiight wave my newly machine gun around just to spook them so they know i mean business. i cant pull off a "u". being... nice every day to everyone. it doesnt feel right, and i practically enjoy my snappy comebacks, even then i need to work on some new material.
Not sure how I feel about you thinking about me when you commit murder, people or not. Thanks, I suppose?
Some days I'm feeling more charitable than others but I do try my best to keep the peace more often than not. That doesn't mean I can't pull a Jinx from time to time and go off. Maybe not to those extremes but sometimes you have to let off some steam.
Think I'll pass. You know I don't like resorting to violence if at all possible though it sure enjoys finding me. Maybe I can catch a break here for a change though I highly doubt it.
Just promise me if you do ever find yourself in a conflict that you won't hesitate to ask for my help.
[ insead of a text reply back, he will get a call for whether he would like to accept or deny a video chat. once he selects "accept", the video starts in wavers — his girlfriend in the middle of propping her cellular device so she can be more hands free.
and once that's done, she pulls back: revealing herself on her bed, sitting cross-legged. jinx is also wearing some pajamas (tank top and blue polka-dotted shorts) with her lock down wild and free. also in the video, she is looking back at him with a bag of chips in her hand, crunching but not without flipping him a bird with her prosthetic middle finger. that was for her reply back to his remark, by the way. but to show that she isn't actually angry or truly meant it, she puckers her lips to him; giving him an air kiss. ]
[Resting against the headboard of his own bed clad only in a pair of loose fitting boxers, Ekko holds the device in his left hand from his waist giving her a nice eyeful. He cannot help the slight roll of his eyes when presented with the middle finger in retaliation, a smug grin quickly forming in place over his lips in mild amusement watching Jinx stuff her face.]
You're going to get crumbs all over eating those...Thank Janna that isn't my bed.
[ she says, which is hardly audible with the way her mouth full of chips. jinx sets the bag aside while she stretches over for something from behind her. this will also give him insight of her room, looking... messy as it can ever be.
not unkempt as in empty food tray or cups (thank goodness), but more on the knick-knack side of things. tools, screws, clothes, blankets, hair ties, and what have you. what his girlfriend reaches for is a cup of juice (with straw) resting neatly on her bedside table, coming back into view to look at him — sipping. ]
Rats can pretty neat company if you feed them ahead of time. Won't nibble on your toes or fingers in the middle of the night.
[ the bluenette returns the cup back in its place, then dramatically flops backwards on her bunk. he can no longer see her face, only from the stomach and down — kicking her legs, because why not. her mood seems to be improving a lot now that she can hear and see him. ]
And you can train them to devour unexpected victims. Sorry, slimy lizards, you're dead meat to Mr. Whiskers the second!
Lets not cross that path anytime soon, I've dealt with enough rats back home we don't need them ruining this place too.
[Ekko's own room was rather tidy by comparison and aimed to keep it that way being one to enjoy his workspaces being clean and organized for maximum efficiency. A curious cock of his brow is given at the last bit, tilting his head as a hand runs through his unkempt dreads having been abruptly awakened.]
Yep! Mr. Whiskers the first died when he got used as a distraction when I was attacked by a goon. May he rest in peace.
[ now making it clearer, she is talking about her explosive than an actual rat. jinx continuously see-saws her legs for his viewing for a few more seconds before letting them flop — another theatrical motion, then drums her midriff with her fingers. ]
... So anyway, how are you settling in for the second time? Did I ask you that already? I know I asked you the first time. I think? You're becoming REALLY hard to keep up, babe. You should fix that.
Aw- I think I get what you're throwing down now. Guess this 'goon' got what was coming to him.
[Rolling his eyes with a breathy burst of laughter under his breath, closing his eyes to think on the question with a subtle shrug of his shoulders as he tries best to stay awake given the late hour staving off the threat of sleep again.]
Honestly it's a lot less stressful than back home in Runeterra I can say that much and with everyone we know here it's not so bad even with the unexpected turmoil they've thrown at me so far. It'd definitely be a lot worse if I didn't remember everything between us though.
[ although she is out of frame, she can view ekko pretty clearly, and she notices how sleep is beginning to loom over him like a fluff cloud. jinx only hums to him as a response before she stretches to get the hand of her phone once more. the video wavers for the second time, and she locates it in a different spot — she is still lying in bed, but now correctly. ]
Hey. [ she says, tone lulled with a warm smile glittering over her face. ] Lie down. It's okay if you're getting sleepy. This thing is gonna be running all night, so don't even bother trying to pull an all-nighter.
[Much unlike his counterpart Ekko cherished his sleep without being plagued by uncertainties but wasn't going to fault her for wanting to speak with him, quite the opposite in fact he was happy to share her company if it meant keeping the demons at bay. A tired yawn escapes his parted with his gaze lazily returning back to the feed with a subtle nod.]
So long as you're feeling better. There's no way I'd be able to pull an all-nighter even if I tried I'm not nearly that strong willed.
['Strong' being subjectively speaking as he lays down again.]
Alright I'm going to get some shut eye, Jinx. Feel free to pipe up if you need me again though.
