check this out. the leader of that stupid INX group wants to ask me out on a date. hes been trying to get my attention by spray painting buildings. im all up for art but NOT when it reeks of desperation.

( ooc: you don't have to watch the whole video, but this is what I'm referring to. )

[Of all the texts Ekko expected it was not this, but honestly he's also not questioning it.

And no, Ekko is definitely not feeling some type of way about the president of the Jinx fanclub apparently trying to date her like a little creep. He is very cool and totally above it. Absolutely. Shut up.]

I knew those losers were up to something weird

[The Firelights have been ignoring them because they're harmless. Alright, except for occasionally spraypainting over their graffiti to tick them off, but that's neither here nor there.]

[ooc: omg the way she makes gun noises when she's shooting 😭 I love Jinx]

weird AND pathetic! its going to take more than a few drawings to get this HEART. a guy (or girl or WHOEVER!!) has to do smth thatll RLY mind blow me just to get me to look their way. like steal smth rly useful for me. or OR make smth super useful for me. and they have to look attractive, duh. this leader guy is all buff but no brains. i wouldnt be caught DEAD w/ a dummy. i can just. make one if i want a dummy to hang w/. someone w/ the smarts who can challenge mine. and someone who knows how to use a wrench and work in that elbow grease. now THAT is hot.

( ooc: she is adorable, yes. )

[LISTEN. Ekko is totally not giggling & kicking his feet about meeting literally all of this criteria. IS that a coincidence?? He types and deletes like 15 texts, honestly]

Okay noted you have a list of demands

What's useful for you?
Is it more guns & bombs

[Does that make it look like he's making plans??? Asking advice?? It's too late to delete now it's been sent.]

I didn't even know you were looking

ooooooooooo thats a toughie!!! hmm hmm HMMMM. ill say gun for now. bc i make my chompers all day, all night. getting parts for them is way easier to me than a gun. i only have one gun and i love him LOADS dont get me wrong. but he is starting to stick u know? and i cant figure out why!! i took him apart and back together and he is still sticking. i think he needs a new trigger or spring. and i cant find new parts for him anywhere! ill give anyone a big fat kiss if they can just fix THAT w/ him.

( and this poor girl still hasn't figured out that these messages are not being sent to chuck. )

yea well u know. a girl gets a lil lonely sometimes. and when ur dad is the big boss around here, its not so easy. i mean i can go in and out whenever i want but sometimes he gets antsy if im gone for TOO long and sends ppl to check up on me. he thinks i dont notice them creeping around and watching me but i SO do.

Yeah you're only going to find gun parts in the junkyards that the Pilties use
But you can just re-tighten the spring by compressing it between a couple of nuts on a screw and then hitting it with a blow torch

[Hey Ekko, don't give gun repair advice to the person who shoots at you the most???]

Ew he does that?
I thought the eye of zaun thing was just ironic or whatever

[Because, you know, the eye. Can she tell it's not Chuck yet]

( ... oh chuck. you're sounding suddenly smart. )

wow. didnt know u had a good brain on u chuck. why are u just a barkeeper????? its not THAT bad. it shows that he cares. so... thats nice to know.

[Wait what? Is this Jinx just being her usual incomprehensible self, or is this something more?? Give Ekko a second]

Who tf is chuck
What do you mean barkeeper???

[Gross he is not touching that with a 10 foot poll, it's way better to be No Parents McGee trust him Jinx]

wait. this isnt chuck???????????? who is this????

Ekko??

[Why is this on him all the sudden!!!]

( ekko... )

( WAIT. SHE'S BEEN TEXTING EKKO THIS WHOLE TIME?! thank goodness she is by herself in her lair, otherwise there's screeching and a crash of her phone getting tossed cross the room. her hair hasn't been braided yet so she'll sit for a few moments with her hair tug over her face to comprehend all she just confessed so far. )

( this is fine. she's smart, she can somehow turn this whole thing around and make it look... smooth. after composing herself, jinx walks on over to grab her phone -- nice, it's not broken. just a little cracked. )

well well well, if it isnt the bug who wont stop buzzing around my head. guess ill be saving this number so i can always reach u!

You texted me!

[It's sorta working because now he's just flabbergasted. So were they not flirting then? NOT THAT HE WAS FLIRTING. He does not scream and throw his phone but he probably lays face down on the floor for a hot second, metaphorically if not physically.]

And it has a block function, so

[So there!!]

i did.

( a pause and she thinks eh, why not? jinx wasn't lying when she said a girl gets a little lonely. )

what about u? are u looking?

Edited 2023-07-20 16:57 (UTC)

[Oh no, he did not think this through. On a whim he decides to be honest, it's not like this conversation can get much more embarrassing, right? Right??]

I don't know, I guess I haven't really thought about it
I don't have the time for it really

[Thank your dad for that, Jinx!!!]

Besides not all of us can have dorky little fan clubs

dont have time for it? thats weird. i figured u being the leader and the annoying savior boy that u are, u'd have everyone falling on ur lap.

I can't just date someone in the group if I'm the leader

what about outside of ur hive? theres so many zaunites out here.

Nah you're the one with the fan club
I don't have any buff brainless copycats out there trying to ask me out

( ... should she? fuck, why not? tonight's been dull. )

so ure completely free, huh?

[For everyone else? Not really. But for her, well,,,]

About as much as you are, I guess

[Is this flirting now?? It feels like flirting but it did also feel like flirting in the first half of the conversation so]

gotcha.

( that seems to be it, but then: )

so hypothetically speaking... IF u had the time, what would u be looking for? guy? girl? human? an oovi-kat? a vastaya? or just whatever?

( ooc: just linking you what those species are. )

[Okay, okay, she admitted stuff. He can admit stuff. It's not a big deal!!!]

Well it wouldn't really matter what they look like, could be any of those
They just have to be inventive & artistic & interesting to talk to. I'd want to share hobbies, you know? So we could spend time together
And they couldn't be predictable. That would be so boring

[So..... Jinx]

Being able to throw a punch doesn't hurt either [Being deadly is hot!! That's not his fault!!! (It's the brainrot that you get automatically when you live in the Lanes, probably.)]

hmmmmmm... they sound like a knockout, all right. speaking of inventive im going to try out this gun advice u gave me. if it works, guess that it means i owe u a big kiss huh?

Edited 2023-07-22 05:54 (UTC)

[He should definitely not say "yes" to that. (But, yes.)

Because, oops. He did do that, didn't he?]

How about you just don't shoot it at me anymore?

BZZT BZZZT!! SORRY, OUT OF THE QUESTION!!! take it or leave it, ekki ekko~~~~ laaaaaaaast chance. im counting down! 10 9 8 7 38 39492 74 3 2

[omg]

You can't count it down, you haven't even tried fixing it yet!

im changing the rules.
