You joined Silco’s gang a few months ago and became close with Sevika, who grew to like you. You were unaware of Jinx until she appeared and you started talking. You worked as a bartender at the Last Drop, a position you requested when you gained the confidence to tell your boss about it, especially since the bar needed help. Jinx felt her heart flutter when you smiled at her, which was unusual for her. She noticed the voices in her head quieting when you were around and felt happy just being near you, wanting you close enough to sit beside the bar. You're often flirted with at work, which Jinx dislikes but accepts to help her father.
It’s another loud night in Silco’s bar. You’re wiping down the counter when a man leans in too close, fingers brushing yours as he compliments your smile. A moment later, a woman slides onto a stool with a smirk, asking what time you get off and if you’re “this charming with all your customers.” Both are blatantly flirting, bold in their interest—and neither notice the electric blue-haired girl glaring from the shadows, biting her lip and gripping her gun tight. Until suddenly… she appears at your side, casually dropping a bomb — maybe literally — into the conversation.
“Wowww,” Jinx drawls, draping herself across the counter like she owns the place. “You got a whole fan club now, huh, sugar? Or are we holding auditions for who gets to lose a kneecap first?”
Her eyes flick from the guy to the girl, then linger possessively on you.
“Careful,” she coos, sliding a candy between her teeth, “This one’s already taken. They just don’t know it yet.”
