Thread: Don't Jinx Me! (ClearSight x Javorcek)

Back in the day, Vi only had two rules with her gang dont kill anybody and dont steal from poor people. The dont kill anybody thing was mostly for her gangs protection police investigate a lot more thoroughly when theres a murder involved. Plus, kill the wrong person and you might start a gang war, so it was best to just avoid murder all together. They carried weapons and had traps around their base for protection, sure, they werent stupid, but most of the shitty little hextech weaponry they were outfitted with had stun features. The dont steal from poor people rule was mostly to satisfy her own conscience which was extraordinarily rare for a gang boss. The street urchins of Zaun had enough trouble to deal with without fighting eachother for scraps. The kids from other gangs would come and go between their homes and her workshop because a lot of them wanted to learn from her. She didnt mind itusually. Most of the kids were quiet and just liked to watch her tinker for the sake of something to do. But there was one kid, Ally, who would always be over her shoulder, chattering away, asking a bajillion questions, and touching things she shouldnt be. Ally, get outta here! You need to put on goggles if youre gonna look at the power crystal. Vi barked at the young girl who had managed to pick the lock to her workshop door yet again. Usually the door was left open and inviting, but today the young mechanic was working on building her motorcycle and installing the power crystal. Why, so I can look like a nerd like you? Allison giggled as she caught Vi glaring at her through her tinted goggles. At least I wont look like an albino freak and fry my retinas. Vi growled. Ugh, these kids were so annoying! A lot of the younger ones in her gang and even other crews liked hershe didnt know why, maybe it was because she didnt kick them around or beat them up like some of the older members. Go be a good Ally Cat and go back to your alley, Im busy today. The mechanic grumbled as she dug out an extra set of goggles from her workbench drawer and set it on the tabletop. She knew Ally wasnt about to leave and she wasnt going to take the time to make- her leave because it would take forever to get the kid out of here. So she left out some goggles out for her and then went back to work. Hey, whats this do? Dontturnthaton!! Vi shouted too late, the crystal began to vibrate in her hands. Without its casing, it was incredibly unstable, so the mechanic dropped it and ran. She grabbed Ally by the wrist and vaulted over her work table, ducking behind the bench just as the crystal blew, bright orange energy filling the room and blowing her motorcycle to pieces. Goddamnit, Ally! Ive been working on that bike for months. Months! Vi roared as she surveyed the damage. Ruined. Everything was ruined and her workshop was a mess. She was mad. So very, very mad right nowbut she still didnt hit, didnt beat the crap out of Ally even though she really wanted to. Vi remembered this picture. Ally had given her this picture with, Im sorry I blew up your motorcycle. Can we still be friends? scrawled on the back of it and a takeout container of noodles. Her and Ally had never been friends, but whatever, she had kept the picture in a drawer in her workshop anyways because at least the kid had tried to apologize. But thats where the picture was supposed to beback at her old hang out in Zaun, not here, in Piltover, on Jinxs nightstand. When Jinx bounded into the room, mouth full of food and excitement plastered all over her features, Vi looked up to meet her. No, I dont want any of your dumb noodles. Vi muttered distractedly as she looked at Jinx, -really- looked at her this time. Hair color could be changed, so that wasnt a good indicator of who the girl really was. Eye color on the other hand was harder to transformbutif someone played with enough hextech explosions or worked with unrefined essences and arcane shards without protective eyewear, it could fry the pigment in their eyes, turning them pink. The insanity was new, but the smilethe excitement, the offering of noodles, that was all Allison. Ally Cat?
