pop pop pop / electric blue and starlight sparks in her eyes you’re a jinx!!! things rot in the undercity, stripped back and peeled away, but too many leave bones for her to trip on; scars that ache when all she wants is silence, and the dead don’t talk, but gods above do they know how to scream.
stupid kids / crash bang boom. everything is ashes and charcoal in her mouth, the taste of copper on her tongue that bleeds into her throat ( she’ll never taste anything but iron again. ) not powder anymore, but powder still rattles the cage; she claws, fights and screams, and jinx can only let loose the cries in a cacophony of explosions that never seem to destroy it all / blast it all away. she’s not a child, no, but she can pout like one; this tantrum that transcends years / threatens all of piltover when it reaches the crescendo. just … believe me when i say i’m sorry. and fuck / so is she; that’s powder, always sorry / always crying. can’t let ghosts crawl back into the living.
❝ juh eez, so serious! lighten up, won’t cha ?! ❞ that fleeting glimpse, gone again; vulnerability peeking through / brutally pushed back. vi made their choice she’s made hers. m̦̈́y̓l̊͊̌ȍ͕̠͌ w̑a̘s ̞ͪr͈̣͎ͭ̽͒ig̺̍͋ͅhͦ̇̽t̮̯̥͛̈́̚!̘̰̌̄ ❝ is this how you keep the bad guys in line? bore ‘em to death? sheesh, you used to have a sense of humour! ❞ the bullets on her waist clink together / a macabre applause to the performance. ❝ oughta get that stick out yer ass, red, it’s not doin’ you any good. ‘course, that’s what you get for livin’ topside. man, talk about sell outs! and i thought i was bad for blowing up the bank boom! ❞ her voice pitches high / a sudden shout in vi’s face, arms spread wide / expression wild, gleeful, deranged. ❝ man, talk about opposites! it’s like we’re not even related! ❞
