Her eyes narrowed slightly, gaze sharpening to razors at the sight of the familiar face intruding in on her personal time. Whom-Oh. Right. Dazai. The guy who was trying to off himself a while ago. Jinx never mentioned him to anyone figuring if he was diligent enough, he’d probably make his way to the news sooner or later. Guess, it was going to be later.

“Never heard of a nickname Dazai?” She took her spoon digging it into her butter pecan ice cream. Her expression fell away into doe-like eyes, and a harmless pout looking every bit of innocence as she could muster-which was quite a bit. “They’re pretty common you know.” Despite that, she wondered exactly who he had connections with to find out about ‘Jinx’ and filed it away mentally to investigate who the fuck was giving out information on her. This wasn’t a big deal, but she liked knowing who and where rats thrived. // @dazailily

He didn’t think she looked particularly thrilled to see him, but then again he hadn’t expected her to be. If anything the sharp look she had given him had been exactly what he had imagined her response to be the instant he slid into the booth.

“No of course I have.” Dazai responded back with a small nod and a quiet laugh. After eating some more of his ice cream, he continued, “It’s just that nicknames seem to be used to hide identities in certain groups of people. A group that you belong to.” He had met plenty of people who preferred not to use their real names, it made things easier that way, made them harder to track. Dazai never understood the appeal, but then again, he had never once felt like he was in danger when he worked with the mafia. He smiled at her, speaking in sing-song tone, “It’s fairly interesting when there’s someone who has something to hide. I enjoy learning what that is.” // @jfc-jinx

Great, just great. The smug jackass just had to go running his mouth, calling them business partners right in the middle of his club. Now Roman was going to have pay off everyone who might have heard them, all so the rumor mill wouldn’t be talking all about Roman Torchwick being buddy-buddy with the sell-out halfway to the law. And if he had to pay, you could be damn sure Dazai would too.

“Only the ones that aren’t worth my time. Speaking of,” Without another word, Roman turned his back on the man, making his way through the crowd to one of his private rooms. The detective’s little display was going to cost him, and part of that meant playing hardball. If he wanted to talk, they do it in a place of Roman’s choosing. And that meant minimizing the amount of people who would see them together.

@dazailily

Dazai had known exactly what he was doing when he announced certain things perhaps a little too loudly in a public place, this time was no different. He wasn’t scared of Roman in any way, by acting in such a way it proved that. In fact, admitting to basically everyone around them that they had worked together in the past wouldn’t really hurt him in any way. He himself wouldn’t face too many repercussions for the action, but he got the feeling the other would. Which is why it didn’t surprise him that he was nearly immediately led into a private room. He wasn’t a good person to be associated with around here, at least, not anymore.

“Ah, are you afraid people would find about all of our past deals?” He spoke with a small laugh, never letting his grin fall. “As much as I would love to stand here teasing you about it all, I did come here for something.” This is where he knew things would get more difficult, especially because of the fact that he hadn’t exactly been going out of his way to make Roman happy. “I’m looking for someone.” // @liecheatstealsurvive

Had Dazai been planning on stopping for ice cream? No. Had he done so anyways upon seeing a familiar face through the window? Of course. If anything, he considered it a productive use of his time, he had already invested so much of it into finding out who she really was. Upon entering and after buying a simple cone of vanilla ice cream, he saw her sitting in a booth in the back corner and before she could say anything he slid in across from her, a smile pulling at his lips.

“Hi Lucky, or should I call you Jinx?” He spoke with a playful tone but there was an underlying seriousness to it that didn’t come out often. Dazai would be lying to himself if he were to say that he didn’t want answers, if the girl sitting across from hadn’t thoroughly confused him. His little investigation into her had confirmed his suspicions that she had lied about her name and that she was far from being innocent. The very fact that she had lied is what made him eager to know more. “You know, it’s funny, usually people don’t have so many names. How does that work?” // @jfc-jinx

Roman was having a good day.

Up to that point, everything had been going swimmingly! He’d finalized a deal with those animals on Menagerie just over an hour ago, and already the shipment was being put together at one of his warehouses. On top of that, he’d managed to grab dinner with Neo, with zero interruptions from Perry. And, the best part, not a single visit from any of the brats the universe continuously forced upon him.

Things were looking up, until Dazai walked in. It wasn’t even that Roman particularly disliked the guy. All things considered, he was decent enough compared to most of the people he dealt with, but he always wanted something! And when he wanted something, information usually. Which meant the redhead had a target on his back just for letting him through the front door.

“Not long enough, Sell-Out.”

@dazailily

Dazai placed a hand on his heart, pretending as if the comment had offended him. “That hurts to hear! Here I thought we made such good business partners!” His tone was playful but his words held no truth to them. If anything, he found dealing with Roman to be frustrating. It wasn’t that Roman himself was particularly a terrible person, but making a trade of information with him usually meant that Dazai had to give up more info than he would prefer to share. He would have avoided coming at all if he could have, but even though he would never admit it, the case was proving to be a tad more difficult than he had expected.

“How have you been? Up to the usual? Still paying people to kill for you?” He kept the smile plastered on his face, his voice teasing. He was simply messing with him but he did want to get a feel for what Roman was like these days, if he had changed much or if Dazai would need to rethink his approach to getting the information he wanted. // @liecheatstealsurvive

Change.

She was never quite sure how to feel about that word. It was never always good, never always bad. She, herself, tended to thrive in change. Monotony was one of her biggest enemies, getting bored too quickly at the simplest of things. But even then, she couldn’t deny how deeply ingrained she was in her behaviors. Her impulses, her emotions, her morals or lack of them. Those never changed even when the world around her did.

Jinx thought they never would, even if it might be nice if they did.

“Is that so,” Her eyes narrowed, lips curling sardonically. Her tone dropped to amused, whimsical, practically purring. Jinx believed that was a bunch of bullshit, but she’d let him believe what he wanted to believe. Ignorance is bliss as they say.

Pausing in her steps, she took a long lick of her scoop, contemplating the options available to her. She could just lie-that would be easy enough. She could even give out her name it’s not as if that would do much harm either. Jinx doubted she’d be seeing him so soon and if she did, he wasn’t trying hard enough. “You can call me Lucky,” She gave a half hearted shrug, raising a brow. // @dazailily

He had to hold himself back from laughing, his lips turning upwards into a smile. There were a lot of ways people spoke to Dazai, some yelled at him, some ignored him, and others just seemed baffled by him. That much he was used to, but she was talking down to him. It appeared as though she thought him naive. That was one thing he couldn’t say he had ever been called before and while she might not have said the word, the way she spoke was enough. “Why couldn’t they?”

Dazai thought that nothing truly mattered anyways, this was no exception.

He noticed she was lying and while he hadn’t really expected her to tell the truth, that didn’t mean he was already annoyed with the work it would take to find out who she really was. Yet, it only made him more intrigued, usually people tended to lie about who they were only when they had something to hide. He intended to find what that was.

However he didn’t think that she needed to know that he was aware of her fib. “Lucky,” Dazai paused after repeating it carefully, pretending to think about it intently. Letting out an exaggerated sigh he looked over to her, “What a boring name, it sounds as if it were meant for a pet.” He had long decided he was going to find her again, his head already filled with plans and ideas and he found himself welcoming the challenge she was offering with open arms. “Nice to meet you, Lucky. I’m Dazai.” // @jfc-jinx

Dazai paused in front of the Melodic Cudgel, his eyes glancing around out of habit, he had made more enemies than he could count and if he were going to run into any of them, it probably would have been here. Yet, he wore a confident smile, he had a feeling things were going to end satisfactory for him, he just had to play his cards right. Lucky for him, that wasn’t exactly something he had ever struggled with before. Waltzing into the club he was met with the loud music and sound of the few people who had perhaps drank a little too much, he couldn’t say that he missed the place. He scanned the venue for the owner, a man he had met for work in the past.

Long before he ever lived on Yen Sid, he had been sent there a handful times, usually to find someone the Port Mafia wanted. Things were different now, however, his reason for being in the club wasn’t all that different. He needed to find someone. Dazai grinned as he laid eyes on him and made his way over, “Roman Torchwick! It’s been awhile.” // @liecheatstealsurvive

“You only need The One.” Her shoulders lifted in a shrug, tossing the sentence out without a care. It’s not as if she was wrong. You only really needed to find that one method to get the ball rolling. If this guy hadn’t found it yet, then he needed to try harder. “Keep trying, dude, you’ll get it eventually.”

“I’m innocent of heart,” Jinx batted her eyelashes feigning innocence. Innocent was the farthest thing she could be, but damn could she fake it. She got enough idiots around here believing she was just some delinquent kid in the streets-which was probably the most tame they could assume of her. Her lips curled dangerously, a certain glint in her eyes, “Trust me, once you’ve dealt with a devil, breathing or not, you certainly aren’t alive anymore.”

People who have had that hand dealt to them discard whatever chance at ‘life’ they ever had-whether they know it or not. You’re Marked and that’s it. “Peace out, Stranger.” She held out a peace sign, walking around him fully intending to leave him in the dust, “Hope you get your scoop.” // @dazailily

“You really think so?!” Dazai replied excitedly, a large smile breaking out on his face. To a certain extent, he was playing a part, he always did. His grin, though it appeared to be, wasn't entirely genuine and it certainly wasn’t because of her words despite how he acted. Rather from her personality as a whole.

“Ah so am I.” He kept his playful tone, even if the last thing he was, was innocent. It was hard to remember a day where he was at this point. But he played along despite that, noticing the look in her eyes. He blinked at her curiously, “A devil only has as much power as you give it, once you take that power away, it’s nothing.” He smiled once more, “Besides, anyone can change if they choose.”

He thought it silly when people held onto the past, when they used it as an excuse to not do something. Dazai didn’t think for a second that doing something terrible or that dealing with a devil was something that could make it feel as if you weren’t living. “Wait!” He called out to her, “What’s your name?” If she truly left now, he wanted a way to find her again. He certainly could even if she refused to give it, but it’d be so much less work if he knew at least a name. // @jfc-jinx

“You should experiment more then.” She answered simply, raising a brow. The villainness continued eating her ice cream unperturbed by his behavior. He’d need to do a lot more than whine to gain any sympathy from her. If he could gain any sympathy from her. Jinx wasn’t the type to really hold it out for anyone. Everyone got what was coming to them. You reap what you sow.

“Nope,” Jinx popped her p’s, “Living is what you make it. You have it tough? You make it untough. You at the bottom? You climb.” Suffering was subjective. She suffered. She suffered Hell. Homelessness. Streets. Hive Academy. Brother Blood. Slade. Jinx took it all, because she knew she’d reach the top one day. She had to. Even if it meant burning the rest of the world to. “You only suffer if you let it get to you. Deals with devils have nothing to do with the living.” // @dazailily

He couldn’t help but let out an airy laugh at her words, he was curious as to what she would think of all of his other attempts. Dazai’s head cocked to the side slightly and he tapped his chin as if in deep thought over her recommendation. “Hmm and I thought I had tried nearly everything so far. No method has ever succeeded.” He found the girl amusing, she hadn’t yet reminded him of anyone he had ever met before.

He snapped his fingers, his eye opening up just the tiniest bit, “Ah I see now, you’re not innocent are you?” The way she spoke was enough to give it away, there was a type of suffering specific to those that involved themselves to a world of crime, Dazai had spent more than enough time around people like that to spot it from a mile away. “Though I’d argue that deals with devils have everything to do with the living. It’s usually the living that are the devils.” // @jfc-jinx
