Hey, losers, I'm probably out doing something amazing, so leave a message, and I'll try to get back to you. Or just think really loudly at me. I'll hear it. BEEP.
ooooo calling the mutant telepath dangerous, how original. haven't heard that one before. oh wait no i have. from like every politician and world leader ever. wanna call me "mutie"? how about "genetrash"? or how about the old classic, just "freak"? i've heard the whole "caution" line before, old man. it's a fancy word that tiny-minded humans use when they mean "scared".
[Okay, so maybe not the best strategy for... whatever he was trying to do here. Being friends with Silco? Lol no. A truce? Reluctant peace due to a common goal? Honestly, bad strategy for literally any of those. This is definitely what Jinx was avoiding by not introducing them. Oh, well! Better to have everything out in the open. Quentin may not win any awards for diplomacy, but he sure as hell isn't underhanded.]
once upon a time i'd have done the whole "yeah you should be scared, i'm your worst nightmare, welcome to my twisted mind" shtick. but these days? eh. it's played out. boring. i'm bored of you people always being scared. look at you. all i had to do was exist, and you scurried off into your dark little hole to mutter about how i'm the threat when all i've done is be honest. i told you about my powers. i didn't have to, and now you have a heads up you didn't before. you're welcome. i said i didn't have agenda, and i don't. SPOILERS: wanting to make my girlfriend happy is not an agenda. it's basic boyfriend shit. i shouldn't even have to explain that.
but whatever, we can go round and round in circles for days about all this crap. what i really want to know is this: do you actually give a shit about jinx or do you just like having an obedient little weapon? honest answers only.
[Well, well, someone was dredging up some personal traumas or biases to a single word, was it? For someone who was claiming to be so smart, there was something deliberately stupid about the whole ranting. This was a rather interesting tactic of someone trying to meet Jinx's father. Was he a threat to their relationship or was this tough guy routine an attempt to impress him by offending him?
Both had a potential to be true, or it could be combination of both.]
A suggestion, boy: when trying to make your point, try to limit your use of the word 'you'. It puts the other side in a defensive position as it all sounds like an accusation. The insults aren't assisting in your case of ingratiating me to feeling the need to meet you either.
Are you capable of making Jinx happy, do you think? Is she capable of making you happy, I wonder?
You've been in Jinx's mind. What do you think my intentions are?
[He expected her perception of him was skewed, of course. Shimmer may have saved her life, but it twisted her paranoia about most people's intentions back then. She was better about it now, of course.]
i was going to add on to that, but you know what? no. that's it. just don't be an asshole. i didn't do shit to you. you started beef. asshole behavior tbh.
wait no hold on, i thought of something else.
if someone asks you "are you a decent person or the literal worst?" and you don't answer, guess what?
