he was good at picking locks, i guess.

There were better in the Undercity of his age group.

[He should know... he owned most of them back then.]

HA! u just made him speechless.

The unfortunate truth hurts immature boys' egos.

u know. id like boys more if they werent about their dick sizes all the time and measuring whose bigger. but its funny to watch them argue and then something comes along and gobbles them all up.

It's tiring. Insecure men feel the need to resort to paltry competitions; they all die the same: alone while praying for some immortality of their namesake.

were u like that too?

In my youth, yes.

[That wasn't a time period he spoke of generally.]

But I learned quickly that I had little to measure without action to back me up.

if only boys could grow up faster like u did. buuuuuuuuuuuuuut i guess if they did THAT, i wouldnt be able to be on top. no no wait!!! it WOULDN'T be bad now that i think about it. i challenge them into a brain off.

I had the added benefit of extreme suffering where being slow to grow up meant one was used or killed. No matter their mature they are, you'll almost always be the smartest one in the room. That puts you on top regardless.

super smart. i think i might have cracked in more about these tablets.

Go on.

okay strap in cause this is a DOOZY. ure mind is about get blown! 💣 🤯 so sometimes when im on the broadcast and listening or watching these losers talk about the boring stuff, im able to detect some extra activity. like theres something funny going on beyond everything else. been doing some fiddle faddle. keep getting ACCESS DENIED 100%. pretty lame. but the more i dig dig dig, it goes down!! now it just says ACCESS DENIED 70% and sometimes??????????? i can hear static voices or see jumble up words. i thiiiiiiiiiink if i keep poking around, i can get into private stuff. maybe private convos? so what do u think? did i blow ur mind or did i blow ur mind?

I think you're onto something worth pursuing. Static voices will hopefully be fruitful if you can clear it up. Private conversations would give us considerable information and an edge on anyone that might be moving against us. You've done well, Jinx.

( seeing the words "you've done well, jinx" is like drinking a warm cup of milk and cozying up in blankets by the fireplace. a sensation she will never grow weary over, if anything, to thirst more of. nothing can top the praise given by her father and her sister. )

dont i always?

( she'll throw her cockiness in those letters in hope to mask over the small delay between their messages. )

Fishing for compliments, I see.

[Even over text, she could get him amused by her antics. Dare say, he loved her for it, not that such words ever came easy for him.]

dont need to fish when everyone knows im the COOLEST!!

Yes, of course. My mistake.
