eeeeeeh he’s okay wouldn’t wear the sign i made so u knew he wasn’t a weirdo on sight
[ but she — flushes, thumb arcing over her screen, the photo of something good done by her hand. she thinks of nami sharing her scarf. of watching her cry over sanji. of pressing closer to her in the woods. ]
you’re welcome, nami 🩵🧡 i’ll come by the restaurant later got more screws to fix the tables
( from anyone else, she'd take it as a joke — from jinx, she imagines spray paint under her fingernails, a sign drying. she always commits to the bit. )
yes please. i could use your hi-jinx today. by the way, silco stopped by. i invited him. i hope he'll stop by more.
( it doesn't bug nami — pirates are not generally well known for their morals. mind, luffy's pirates are a breed of their own, but jinx knows that. so ... maybe it's a bad gang? maybe he's a bad guy?
he loves jinx, though. takes care of her. nami can forget the rest if that's true, and it is, so she does. )
think he'll give me tips on how to run it? it's cool. i've been in with bad crowds before. do you know the scar on my shoulder? under my tattoo?
i used to have a different tattoo, when i was on a different pirate crew. arlong's crew, really bad news. basically the worst of the worst. he had a 20 million berry bounty on him. lots of stuff happened, but i cut it off and now i have a tattoo just for me 🍊 point is i'm not intimidated by baddies or badness so don't worry about it you're good with him so i'm good with him
on the other hand if you're ever mad at him, i'll pour tabasco in his whiskey 😤
yeah they mean a few things i guess when i was little i one of the things i made hurt people my family sent all these clouds up that’s when i found silco
[ because he didn’t find her. she chose him first. ]
and my sister she told me to set off a blue flare if i ever needed her and she’d find me i thought i lost her that day so i don’t know
luckily luffy already got him that’s how he convinced me to join his dumb crew
( because otherwise, nami had been as prepared as always to go at everything alone. she’d been little when she struck a deal with arlong — maybe as little as jinx was when she adopted silco. it’s interesting, the way they find themselves matching up. nami is also a destructive force, who ruins most things she touches — but she doesn’t see jinx like that, not even close. she’s only ever helped her. )
i guess that’s why you’re half naked all the time she could spot you anywhere
double hah no way. i did ( ahaha... ) something when we were kids that made her hate me forever i think we're okay now but i wasn't sticking around to find out

in the fissures
and a gang
