Something like that. It's less funny when you're the subject of its jokes I find.

Viktor, as you know. I was born in the undercity but was accepted into the academy as a young man and lived in Piltover since, if Vi hasn't informed you already. I take it you know Vi and Jinx?

[ekkoeffect]

they're my sisters.

[Sort of. Kind of. Maybe still. He stands by writing it though.]

maybe the sea thinks this place will remind us of home.

[opheliac]

sisters?

[ekkoeffect]

[Is she surprised he admitted it? Is there something else going on? He's never sure with Jinx, but...]

i never said we weren't family anymore.
we're fucked up
but
still family

[opheliac]

right! right yeah. family.
nothing but family feeling over here!
totes likewise!
😃

[ekkoeffect]

[Why does she have to say things in a way that always makes Ekko feel like he's missing half of the conversation.]

we're not trying to kill each other anymore.
still got our family reunion coming up.
sky's the limit right.

[faceblocks]

theres a reunion coming up?

[ekkoeffect]

jinx was supposed to fill you in.

[faceblocks]

maybe she did and i just didnt catch it
her words are all backwards sometimes
not her fault
its the blood thing

[she's been a little obsessed with hair lately.]

BOMBSHELL WENT ON IDLE.

[faceblocks]

hey hey not so lil bro
just pretend im rufflin ur hair
doing some annoying sister shit

srsly tho
it does remind me of home in a lot of ways

[ekkoeffect]

is it pretending when you keep doing it

this place is like if zaun was surrounded by a forest that eats people.

[faceblocks]

so piltover kinda
just not dressed as fancy

more foresty less fancy

now pretend im fistbumping ya

[ekkoeffect]

sure if piltover was less shiny and elitist.

so prufrock and crenshaw.

[mehanizovati]

[well this is news to him. not shocking, he knows how family goes in zaun obviously. that and everyone knew about vander having a few kids. but still.]

It certainly makes us more prepared, in some ways. It's agonizing to see how few people know how to repair or barter.
Or cook mushrooms well, for that matter.

[ekkoeffect]

a lot of people never had to think about it.
lucky for them
being ignorant
and pathetic
but it's not their fault
usually

[mehanizovati]

I'd say never, though it's very much their faults when they refuse to adapt.
Which happens more than it should, even here.

[ekkoeffect]

if they don't adapt it's on them.
not out here trying to help people who won't save themselves.
but it's not their fault they were raised to be stupid.
power likes it when the little guy is too dumb to know any better.

[mehanizovati]

That does make me wonder what the power here really is. The pthumerians? Us?

[ekkoeffect]

the power is where we decide it is.
doesn't matter how powerful they are.

[mehanizovati]

Either way it's the natives who suffer then. I suppose some things never change.
