Ah, naturally. It makes the most sense.

[ He doesn't understand it at all but he knows it's going to be flashy and explosive and that's all that actually matters. ]

Hopefully you won't lack for supplies. The city nearby should not lack for extras, at least for someone like us who can be resourceful.

[ie: steal ]

[powderkegs]

shouldnt be too hard. the principles basic enough. two rails, a rod for conductivity, projectives and maybe a scope for aiming.

lets see if it comes together though.

[zauneyete]

Hm. Not too hard for you. Nobody else could do it.

[ Silco may be biased. ]

[powderkegs]

[ this is patently untrue, but whatever. she can soak it up. ]

yep. while everyones getting up close ill knock it out a mile away.

[zauneyete]

[ Silco believes it™ ]

Even better. It will never see it coming with all the distractions.

They're fairly large, I would not recommend getting close.

[powderkegs]

like im gonna walk up to some big scary monster.

anyway im super fast now. shimmerized.

[zauneyete]

Ah. You are?

[ He still doesn't really know the full scope of it. Not really. She doesn't look like she's on shimmer, but the eyes... They're a dead giveaway. ]

I suppose that would make sense. I haven't seen you in action yet.

1/2

[powderkegs]

[ you will, she thinks. someday, that knowledge will squirrel itself through his head. either he'll remember. or she'll tell him. when is the real question looping through their heads. when will jinx reveal it? when will silco remember? when will this tentative, fragile space they're making shatter?

she feels like she's doling out her pieces. like candy. like bait. what will silco react to? what will he bite? will he sink his teeth into it? will he rip it apart?

jinx feels so methodical. smart. cunning. devious. so. so. so

so like silco.

it makes her weep. here she was, being him and he doesn't know. he doesn't understand. how can she make him understand without tearing herself apart in the process how how how

—

anyway! ]

2/2

[powderkegs]

youll get a chance. or ill show off sometime.

[ hahaha. ]

[zauneyete]

[ He's blissfully ignorant. So, so blissfully ignorant. Between texting his daughter and verbally lacerating Vergilius all day in the van...

He doesn't know how clever she's being. Devious. Cunning. He would be proud, could he recognize it.

Wouldn't he be?

He's so, so ignorant. What a place for him to be in, when he is so used to holding all of the information close to his chest, ready to use it when the mood strikes. He doesn't know he is on the other end right now. ]

You? Show off? Say it isn't so!

[ the both of them can be sarcastic sometimes ]

[powderkegs]

you know how it is.

gotta establish my style at the right moment.

[zauneyete]

Oh of course. Make the biggest impact, and all.

You never have to show off for me, you know.

[ this is because he thinks she's perfect anyway though ]

[powderkegs]

[ she knows. she hates that she knows that now without powder's feelings bleeding through every day. her guilt. her painful need to prove herself. to be useful. to be necessary. to never be left behind again.

but no one truly left her. she made them leave. she's so good at that. the best. she bites down on her lip. tastes her own tainted blood. ]

i know.

watch me anyway.

[zauneyete]

Don't worry, I won't look away.

[powderkegs]

[ he won't. he'll see.

they'll all see. ]

yeah. i know.

[zauneyete]

[ Eventually, he'll have to. ]

You'll keep me updated in the meantime, won't you?

Tell me if something happens.

[ He expects mission updates, he's going to get shenanigans via candids ]

[powderkegs]

yeah yeah


ill keep you posted.

[zauneyete]

Good. Hopefully, I'll get to see the gun before it goes off.

[powderkegs]

maybe ill add some fireworks to it. if theres time.

[zauneyete]

Oh yes, if there's time of course. Kaiju first, and all.

[ Silco literally does not actually care that much about the kaiju.

then again look at him. What's he doing? ]

If you need more hands, tell me. I can get you some.

[powderkegs]

[ ugh ]

i can manage.

[zauneyete]

[ don't ugh him!! he's just trying to be relevant help ]

I know, I know. Of course you can. Let an old man offer regardless, even if you don't take me up on it.

[ He wants her to, though. ]

[powderkegs]

[ annoying! especially since there are things she would like his help on. questions she still wants answered! conversations that are all packed in her head! and she can't. bring. it. up.

it bubbles up in her, toxic and severe. how she tamps it down, she doesn't even know. ]

so im teamed up with everlight. also new in revelation.

whos useful.

[zauneyete]

[ Ignorance is bliss, isn't it? He soldiers on, oblivious.

How long can he remain so? ]

In Revelation, Set is reliable. If you ask for something, he will provide it, and he is a god. [ He doesn't say that it is because Set and Silco have an agreement, about their children. It persists. Set would burn cities, if it meant Jinx's survival. ] Lilias and Jinwoo are also reliable on the team. They seem to be willing to offer aid if needed. Nanami owes me, and may be willing to help in a pinch, and of course...Kaladin cannot help but insert himself if he thinks it is the right thing to do. [ ugh ]

On Everlight there is Hunter, and Raidou is an obnoxious meddling type, but can be directed if he thinks something is the right thing to do. Yor is stronger than she looks and Laios will do anything for kaiju parts. Godzilla is easily incensed and directed, if needed, but is quite large, and I would not recommend without observing his behavior patterns first.

[powderkegs]

[ something about this wording feels so different. he's not even listing uses, he's listing qualities. it takes her aback for a moment. ]

youve been here long.

[ that's all she can say. he has this whole life here. she has her life there. she's . . . jealous. ]
