[ There is a tentative pause before he speaks as he thinks about offering an apology for what he said. However, he doesn't think what he said is worth saying 'sorry' about.

Maybe if she actually got mad, he's say something, but since they're at the end of their talk, he ends with a chipper: ]

'Course. Here and then, I'm on your side.

[ingestion]

( she wants to say 'no you're not' before she hanged up the phone, but all she can do is sigh before finally ending the call.

he was never truly on her side, and even in death, she couldn't accept him of all people being on it. still she relented-

all they had was each other in this strange new world, and she wasn't going to completely burn their bridge. for now at least. )

[clavesregni]

The girl I spoke of to you is here. Jinx. [The amount of vitriol with which she says the name could corrode a steel girder. In general, Caitlyn sounds like she's having a Very Bad Day because, boy howdy, she really is.] You've got to be careful around her, if you see her. She's... she's mad, Vincent.

And it's not just her. There's a man here with her. Silco. He's a criminal mastermind, not to be trusted.

[banworthy]

[ Oh hey, Piltover.

Still, this is some nice news. Surprising even that he's being warned about someone. How nice, it means that they're on the road of being good friends and he can think again on how to convince her to join the Order. Maybe he can speak of it with Jayce. Religion is something new and exciting to try - and feel comforted while here.

He closes his eyes and waves his hand - now, now, focus on the current issue at hand. The fury and warning of two people. ]

... it sounds like you've had quite a day. Are you all right?

[clavesregni]

I will be.

[She huffs a frustrated little huff.]

I told you some of what she's done. Her being here... It complicates things.

[banworthy]

Let me know if I can do anything...

[ Hm. ]

It does. Certainly, there is no way to kill her and she is now a factor in deciding if your universe continues. Along with Silco. [ Not that he thinks she would do anything, but she has the feeling so best to mention it. But she probably came to the same conclusion as he did. ]

Actually, I have thought of what I can do... why not tell me what you're thinking?

[clavesregni]

[She's nowhere near the point where she wants to actually kill Jinx, at least not while she's thinking rationally about it, and yet Vincent isn't the first person to bring it up. She's starting to wonder if she comes across as someone who goes around killing people willy-nilly.]

I... [She sighs reluctantly.] I don't know what I'm thinking. If we were at home, I would say she needs to be arrested for everything she's done, to protect innocents from her. But I don't see how that's possible here. Even if the facilities for confinement existed, everyone here would have to agree to her imprisonment, she would need to be guarded and have her needs provided for...

But if she isn't confined, she may set off a bomb, or shoot someone. [Caitlyn genuinely is concerned for everyone in Etraya, but she's more reluctant to admit that she's extremely concerned for herself, so it takes her a moment to continue.] She knows I'm here. She may attempt to target me again.

[banworthy]

[ He certainly hopes she'll one day become someone he can convince to kill someone willy-nilly if the need arises. But trust and relationships have to be built up before that can be achieved. Patience! ]

I had that talk with someone else. What do we do with certain individuals? Echo and Aurora seem to not care about the situation because we monitor ourselves.

[ The situation with Hannibal Lecter never finished in a way that he was wholly satisfied with because he was fascinated by how everyone would react and what they would do. The restrictions people place on themselves for the society that everyone here is making remain enchanting to watch. ]

Confining them is its own issue, is it not? These people are still brought here to ensure the continuation of their universe. Which means if they are not able to live and interact within Etraya, are we not also damning those lives? [ Fun food for thought; one that he has been munching on and happy to give it to her while sounding as sympathetic as possible.

It's easy to have a thought experiment when you're outside the experiment. ]

There is someone I know that says everyone is allowed three chances. This can be their second. [ His mouth softens to a kind smile. ] As dangerous as she is, I consider you one of my own... if it's all right to view you as such... and won't allow harm to come to you.

[clavesregni]

Yes, that's the other problem. There are several people here from my world, but Jinx is... She must have been chosen by Echo for a reason, mustn't she? [Caitlyn can't fathom what that reason is, but obviously Echo must have one.] I want to save my world, not have it condemned because of Jinx. One way or another.

[Huff. Sigh.]

That's very... [She doesn't quite know what to say, but it's clear from her tone that she's genuinely touched that Vincent considers her 'one of his own.'] I won't allow harm to come to you, either.

[banworthy]

Perhaps, that is the reason why she is chosen. Some sort of moral test? Since it seems like we are on our own when it comes to morality. Echo and Aurora stay out of our business when it comes to what we, personally, view as right and wrong.

[ Something he's still thinking about, honestly. Perhaps, it is going down the wrong rabbit hole, but he does find the concept fascinating.

But is surprised to hear that she won't let anything happen to him. ]

... that so? Well, thank you... I appreciate it.

(i'm so sorry; i never saw this)

[banworthy]

yes

yes

and yes

[bootyshortsforoldmen]

(OOC: NO PLEASE LMAO I just assumed icly that Vincent was weirded out so I am wheezing right now.)

—

Why are you so weird, man

[Says the guy who asked a bunch of strangers to choke him out.]

Why do you gotta make this WEIRD

[banworthy]

I am sorry I am shorter than you HANK

[bootyshortsforoldmen]

Fucking whiner

You’re not that short VINCENT

Get some big ass clown shoes if you really think you’re so short
