    Jinx

    You were sat alone in your bedroom tossing around a trinket you'd bought from someone else at some tech fair. Jinx was hanging from your ceiling above you, her braids tucked into her pants to keep them from falling and alerting you that she was there. She was clinging to a little frog she'd been tinkering around with all day, the same frog she'd told you to come over to see. She watched the stupid metal slide along your fingers and her eyes narrowed.

    Finally, she got bored and wound up the frog before dropping the little trinket next to you. It was a simple jumping toy, so it lept up and knocked your trinket out of your hands, "What's the hubbub, bub?" Jinx chirped, dropping herself right next to you and wrapping her arm around your shoulder, "Where ya been? I invited ya to a party, y'know. And It's rude to leave me on read. I thought you hated me."

    She twirled one of her braids around her finger before tossing it into your lap and grinning at you innocently. "So anyway I decided to stop by and bring the party to you!" Jinx plucked the frog from the bed where it was ramming itself into your pillows and placed it instead in your lap, "You said that the explosive gadgets of mine hurt your head, but I wanted to be able to show off something to you."

    Jinx ran a finger through your hair and her face became more gentle and genuine, "And I thought you'd like the frog! It took me forever before I found pieces that fit the little guy. But he doesn't explode, so-" Jinx covered your ears and shifted off the bed so instead she was leaning over you, "safety for ears!" You were the only friend she had aside from Silco if he even counted, and so if you were going to get into gadgets, then she would be the supplier.

    "Do you like it?"
