Cynthia woke up the next morning in her bed which felt a bit more warmer and comfier than before she fell asleep and she let out a soft groan before rubbing her eyes with her arms and slowly sat up from her bed. She rubbed the sleep out of her eyes and looked around her surroundings to see where she was before she realized that she was in her room. She took a moment to think over her previous night events before she realized something and she looked at her palm and saw a mark on her palm which gave her an uneasy feeling in her gut, Cynthia stared at the mark in her palm before she tried rubbing it off with no success, this made the uneasy feeling grow even more but the feeling disappeared as she heard a knock on her door and a familiar voice speaking on the other side, "Cynthia dear, are you in there?" The voice said in a concerned tone. Cynthia recognized the voice as her aunt and she was snapped out of the thoughts that were in her head and she replied, "Yes auntie I'm in here, give me a moment" and with that she got up and quickly put on some casual clothing, Cynthia walked to her bedroom door and opened it to see her aunt standing beside the door with a worried look on her face and she asked, "Cynthia honey are you alright?, I didn't hear you come home last night and when I went to wake you up I saw that you weren't in your room and your bed wasn't messed up meaning you didn't slept in your bed" and Cynthia noticed the worried look in her eyes and she quickly replied, "Oh auntie I'm fine, I was just out for a walk and decided to rest at a cafe for a little while", This answer made her aunt smile and this made Cynthia at least relieved that her aunt believed her "story" so to speak and her aunt replied, "oh alright that's good, but if you're out at night I want you to at least tell me" her aunt said in a motherly tone and Cynthia just nodded and smiled at what her aunt said. Her aunt just chuckled and gave Cynthia a small kiss on her forehead and said, "alright I'll start making breakfast now so come down and eat with me when you're ready", Cynthia just nodded to her aunt who is now heading downstairs to start making breakfast, while Cynthia is now alone and she shuts the door to her room. She stood there at the door for a few minutes quietly thinking about everything that happened last night and she thought to herself, "why did I agree to give all of that to Jinx?", the thought troubled Cynthia with uneasiness. Cynthia quickly shook the thought away from her head and pushed the memories of the contract she made last night behind her as she got herself ready to go downstairs to have breakfast at the table with her aunt, but the marking on her palm started to itch badly and Cynthia knew that this'll be a issue and she said " gosh this'll be a issue" in her head and she heard a voice in her head that was like a response and it said "Bandage it and cover the bandages with your shirt sleeve Cynthia" in a rough raspy tone and Cynthia was silent but did what the voice said and the itching sensation stopped surprisingly, Cynthia stood there in silence and she was surprised to hear a voice in her head that gave her advice and she complied with the voice's advice. She covered the mark on her palm with a bandage and with her shirt sleeve and covered the bandage so her aunt wouldn't see it and she headed out of her bedroom and headed for the dining room, She finally reached the dining room table and she took a seat at one of the seats. Her aunt was still in the kitchen and is just finishing up the last touches and when she was finished she made her way to the dining table with two plates of food for both her and Cynthia and she placed the plate in front of Cynthia before making her way to her seat and sitting down next to Cynthia, Cynthia looks at the food on the plate given to her and took notice of the delicious aroma that is coming from the plate of food. Cynthia picked up a fork and began eating the food on her plate, and as she did so she felt much more hungrier than she thought and began eating the food faster than usual. Her aunt noticed this and she smiled, "I see someone is hungry this morning, did you not eat much when you were out?" her aunt asked her with a caring smile on her face, Cynthia paused for a moment while she had a mouthful of food in her mouth, she swallowed her food before replying to her aunt's question and said, "You can say that auntie, I wasn't too hungry until now" and she smiled back at her aunt before she continued eating her food in a reasonable pace. Her aunt just nodded and she too continued eating her food and they ate together in peaceful silence, as the two continued to eat, Cynthia's aunt took note of the bandage wrapped around her nieces hand which made her raise a eyebrow at it and ask, "Cynthia is there something wrong with your hand?" she asked her. Cynthia looked at her aunt and she was hesitant to answer the question asked but she was able to answer it regardless and said, "No there's nothing wrong with my hand, the bandage is just there to heal a old scratch faster" she said with a smile hoping that her aunt would buy it.
Cynthia's aunt gave her a look of concern when she heard the reply from her niece but she didn't believe it for a second since the bandage wasn't something a wound would be covered in normally. She had been through some injuries before, her expression stayed the same while her tone still remained in a concerned tone, "May I see what the scratch looks like dear?" Cynthia's aunt asked her, her face was dead serious, Cynthia was a bit taken a back by the sudden question and she was a bit reluctant to let her see the bandage and the mark that was behind it but she wasn't in a position to not let her aunt see it, she took a moment before she let out a sigh and said, "Alright you can see what the scratch looks like." Cynthia then started unwrapping the bandage slowly before she could let her aunt see the mark underneath. The bandage was finally unwrapped and her aunt takes a look at the mark and she was curious on why Cynthia had it in the first place and she asked, "Dear where did you get this mark?" her aunt asked with curiosity in her face and her tone of voice as she examined the mark with her eyes. Cynthia felt hesitant again about the next answer she would make but she gathered all her courage and answered her aunt anyway, "I got this mark when I went out for a walk last night" and this answer made her aunt raise a curious eyebrow, Cynthia's aunt asked, "A walk in the middle of the night? Isn't that dangerous?" she asked with a tone of concern since that is quite out of character for Cynthia to walk alone at night. Cynthia gulped a bit, "It was a bit foolish but I just wanted to do something different from usual and I just walked around the city for a while" she said as she looked at her aunt for her reaction to the last part, Her aunt was surprised to hear that last part and she replied back, "you went all the way out to the city? Why didn't you tell me you were going? You could've let me drive you and picked you up instead of walking out so late" she said with a concerned and serious tone which was to be expected. Cynthia felt a little guilty at first but quickly hid the feeling and replied back, "I just forgot to I guess" she replied with a calm tone but in truth she was actually panicking inside, Meanwhile with Mr.Jinx he could feel the panic from where he was (his house in the realm he lived in which was known as "The Entertainment District" and he sighs knowing he'd have to pay Cynthia a visit soon. The two continued eating while Cynthia kept answering her aunt's questions from before after she gave a explanation as to why she didn't tell her or anything. While she answered the questions, she continued eating until she finished her meal and was done answering her aunt's questions too. Cynthia's aunt just nods at her niece when she was done speaking and they continue to eat together and the atmosphere remains in peaceful silence, Then the marking started to burn a bit and Cynthia covered it with her sleeve and her aunt was concerned and a voice said "Cynthia can you please calm down... I can feel your anxiety" and it was Mr.Jinx and he had just appeared in the room without warning, Mr.Jinx's hair was ruffled and messy and he was still in his pj's and his tail wraps itself around his leg as he yawns, Cynthia's aunt was confused (as expected) and Cynthia chuckled nervously as Mr.Jinx realizes Cynthia wasn't alone and he pounced out of the room and mutters "Crap!" In a rushed tone. When Cynthia's aunt saw Mr.Jinx she was surprised to see him and she was about to speak but Mr.Jinx quickly retreated from the room out of panic. Cynthia's aunt was left surprised by Mr.Jinx's sudden appearance and the fact that he was just in pajamas. Cynthia's aunt gave her niece a confused look before she turns to her and asks, "Cynthia who was that?" she asked with interest in her voice as she looks at her niece, Cynthia looked a little sheepishly at her aunt and said, "That was a friend, he's a little shy which is why he ran off. His name is Mr.Jinx and he's a interesting person to say the least." Mr.Jinx was crouching behind the couch and he was peaking over the couch to listen in on the conversation that was going on between the two, he still had a look of shock and confusion on his face from what he just experienced he then said "the heck Cynthia..." In a blunt tone as he hid his head behind the couch again but his cat/wolf like ears were sticking out still and Cynthia looks away in silence and Cynthia's aunt looks at where Mr. Jinx was hiding in confusion, Cynthia's aunt was curious on why Mr.Jinx was hiding behind the couch and she spoke, "Cynthia why is Mr.Jinx hiding behind the couch? Is he shy?" she asked with confusion in her voice as she looks at the couch where Mr.Jinx was hiding behind while trying to catch a glimpse of his ears that was sticking out from behind the couch, Cynthia took a moment to process the question before replying to her aunt, "no he's just a bit nervous around new people and I think he is scared" she said with a chuckle. Mr.Jinx peeked from behind the couch only to see Cynthia's aunt which caused Mr.Jinx to give out a small yelp before he quickly went back to hiding behind the couch, Mr.Jinx then said "I'm not shy Cynthia... I just wasn't expecting that someone was with you" in a loud enough tone so Cynthia and her aunt could hear, Mr.Jinx's voice caught the aunt's attention and she turned her head towards where MrJinx's voice is coming from and she called out to him, "Mr. Jinx. I want to try to ask you on some things if that's alright with you" she asks Mr.Jinx. Mr.Jinx peaked out from behind the couch and asked, "what do you want to ask me?" in a curious tone as he looks at Cynthia's aunt. Cynthia's aunt was relieved that Mr.Jinx is now coming out of his hiding spot and she proceeded to speak, "first who exactly are you? You aren't a normal human that's for sure. Second, how do you know Cynthia?" she asks with curiosity in her voice, she couldn't believe that Cynthia has met someone or something like Mr.Jinx, Mr.Jinx sighed inwardly about having to explain who he is again and his cat/wolf ears dropped out of slight annoyance before he lifted up his head in response to this and said, "well first off you're right. I'm not a normal human so to say, I'm actually an entity from a different dimension" he said in a casual and serious tone while he looked at Cynthia's aunt. Cynthia's aunt was surprised by his answer but continued listening closely, Mr.Jinx then continued, "as for your question of how I know Cynthia, we only just recently met in the middle of the night last night. I came across her by complete coincidence and we met up" he said and this answer left Cynthia's aunt satisfied as she nodded. Cynthia's aunt then asked, "and how do we know you're not a threat to Cynthia?", Mr.Jinx looked at Cynthia's aunt in shock when he got asked about if he was a threat to Cynthia and he replied, "why would I pose a threat to Cynthia?" Mr.Jinx said in a tone filled with confusion before he continued, "if I wanted to hurt her. I would've done it already" he said with confidence and Cynthia's aunt sighed before speaking again, "very well then that answers my questions" she said and a smile comes to her face. Mr.Jinx came out from behind the couch and they could now see Mr.Jinx properly, Mr. Jinx was a hound like entity mixed with a wolf and cat genetics but mostly wolf, he walks over and rubs his eyes with his paw like hand that had nail like claws and Mr. Jinx was quite short but not as short in human standards, he looks at both ladies with his white circle pupils as he waited for one of the lady's to speak, Cynthia cleared up her throat and said "you can take a seat if you want Mr.Jinx" in a polite tone and Mr. Jinx just nods in response and took a seat at the table his tail sticks out of the hole of the chair and it was now shaking a little bit almost like it was ruffling it's fur by itself, and Mr.Jinx blinks with one eye and then the other like a dozed off reptile, this was funny to Cynthia's aunt somehow. Cynthia's aunt chuckled slightly when she saw Mr.Jinx's expression while Cynthia had a smirk on her face due to Mr.Jinx's current looks as well. Cynthia's aunt then began speaking after she stopped her chuckling, "Mr.Jinx I must say you look interesting. So what exactly are you?" she asked him out of curiosity as she looked at Mr.Jinx, Mr.Jinx just shrugged as he thought of an easy to understand explanation for what he is. Once Mr.Jinx finally thought of what he is he looked at Cynthia's aunt and said, "the simplest way to put it is I'm a living mythical being. That's all" he said in a simple tone as he let out a small yawn due to him just waking up. Cynthia's aunt could tell he was probably tired so she decided to ask no more questions after that, Mr.Jinx looks at Cynthia and asked "burning mark huh?" In a dozed off tone and Cynthia just nods and Mr. Jinx sighs and said "hold your marked hand out and focus" in a blunt tone, this confused Cynthia but she did as she was told and red mist appear from Cynthia's fingertips and took the dirty dishes to the sink in a simple fashion like magic, This surprised Cynthia's aunt and she was speechless at the small feat. Mr.Jinx then said, "there you go" in a casual tone as he watched the dishes washed in the sink. Cynthia looks at her marked hand in astonishment and looks at Mr.Jinx with awe as she looks back up to him and she asked, "that's amazing! How did I do that?!", Mr.Jinx chuckled and said "that my friend was "Sølver A", its what I call my given magic, just try not using in braud daylight", Cynthia looked at Mr.Jinx with a wide smile and said, "this is amazing! I can't believe I have magic powers now! I'll make sure I practice it more and learn all about it" and Mr.Jinx nodded and replied, "I have plenty more tricks for you to learn and perfect as well", Cynthia's aunt just watches the two interact with a smile on her face and she chuckled. She was at awe that Cynthia was able to use magic now like it's no big deal. Cynthia's aunt decided to join in the conversation, she asked, "if you don't mind Mr.Jinx, but can I know your age? You seem pretty young looking for someone with so much wisdom and power", Mr.Jinx sighs and said " well to put it lightly the age system works differently from where I'm from but I'm twenty six but my legal home town age is one hundred and twenty six" in a casual tone, Cynthia's aunt was surprised by Mr.Jinx's age and was shocked to hear how old he actually was, "oh wow.. 126 huh? You look young for someone even as old as that" she said as Mr.Jinx nodded in agreement. Cynthia's aunt then continues as she asks, "so where is this so called home town you come from?", Mr.Jinx let out another yawn as he thought of what to say exactly, after a few moments he decided to say the simplest way to explain it and he said "well my home town is known as the "entertainment district" and it's in the realm known as "The Underverse" where all entities gather" Mr.Jinx replied in a serious tone, Cynthia's aunt was surprised by the name of the home town, and she said, "the entertainment district? Sounds like a nice place.." she said as she smiled warmly at Mr.Jinx and Mr.Jinx nodded before replying, "that's what it's known as" in a tired tone. Cynthia noticed Mr.Jinx's state and spoke, "uh, Mr.Jinx? Are you okay?" As she asks with a concerned look in her eyes, Mr.Jinx lifted back up his head when he heard Cynthia's voice and he replied, "I'm fine just a bit tired" in a sleepy tone as he let out another yawn and he added, "I just woke up after all" in a tone that sounded like he's telling the truth, Cynthia's aunt decided to speak, "ah I understand that feeling dear. Sometimes after you just woke up you'll still need more rest to get rid of that tiredness in you" she said as Mr.Jinx nodded in agreement to this statement. Cynthia looked at Mr.Jinx with a worried look, "you sure you okay? You look like you haven't slept in days" she said in a concerned tone
Mr.Jinx yawns again and made his mug appear and it filled itself with coffee and Mr.Jinx took a sip out of the mug that said "world's #1 jokester" with a red smiley face on the bottom of the wording and Mr.Jinx felt better and he then said "don't you have work today Cynthia?" in a calm tone and Cynthia just remembered she had work today so she went to get ready, Cynthia's aunt was amazed by Mr.Jinx's powers especially with the coffee trick he just did. Cynthia's aunt chuckled at Mr.Jinx's power and she said, "it sure is amazing you can just do magic like that. I'm surprised you don't use that power in public for everyone to see" Mr.Jinx shrugged at that statement and he replied, "if I did that everyone would just want a piece of me" and his statement made sense, Cynthia's aunt chuckled from his answer and said, "that does make a lot of sense Mr.Jinx" and Cynthia came back downstairs wearing a waitress uniform and Mr.Jinx got up and he stretched his arms and his body and he said, "well it was nice talking to you" in a friendly tone, Cynthia's aunt asked, "oh, your leaving?" And Mr.Jinx said "yep, I've out stayed my welcome" said Mr.Jinx in a polite tone as he headed for the front door, and with that Mr.Jinx disappointed leaving Cynthia to go to work and her aunt at home, and Cynthia sighs as she made her way to her job. Cynthia reached to the diner she works at and entered the store. Cynthia immediately started working while her shift began and she greeted her coworkers and started taking customers orders. As she worked her shift went for hours as they passed by and soon enough she's done with her work and she's now done for the day so she got her stuff and left the diner and made her way home,Cynthia has finally arrived home and as soon as she entered the house she smelt a delicious smell coming from the kitchen, as she looked into the kitchen she saw her aunt cooking dinner for the both of them and she smiled at this, Cynthia headed to her room so she could change her clothes. Once she's changed into more casual clothing she returned to the kitchen to see her aunt just finishing up the meal she was cooking earlier. Cynthia then sat down at the table and as soon as she sat down her aunt also came to the table and gave her a plate of food before going to her chair and began eating too meanwhile Mr. Jinx was in his home in his home realm cleaning his house, Mr.Jinx cleaned his house while listening to the radio and the radio was playing his favourite song so he sang the lyrics to himself as he cleaned. Mr.Jinx was almost done with his cleaning until he heard someone knocking on his door, Mr.Jinx stopped cleaning and looked around, "who could be knocking now?" Mr.Jinx thought to himself. MrJinx then went towards the door and the knocking got slightly louder as he walked towards the door and he opened the door to see who's knocking, Mr.Jinx opened the door to see a figure wearing a hood that covered his face, this made Mr.Jinx get on guard and ask rudely, "who the heck are you and what do you want?" The hooded figure let out a chuckled and said, "now is that a way to treat your visitors Jinx?" This made Mr.Jinx recognize the voice and his expression soften, MrJInx recognised the voice as it was The Overseer who spoke. Mr.Jinx just sighed and said, "what do you want Overseer?" in a tired tone as he put one hand on his hip and leaned on his doorway. The Overseer chuckled and he replied by saying, "I'm just here to check up on you Jinx. I would like to talk with you privately" in a casual tone. MrJInx raised a eyebrow at The Overseer who was asking to talk privately but Mr.Jinx decided to let The Overseer in his home and as Mr.Jinx walked by he walks past the radio and Mr.Jinx sighs as he snaps his fingers and the radio turns off swiftly as he prepares tea for himself and the Overseer and as Mr.Jinx came back with the teacups he asked "so...what brings you here Overseer (other then a visit and a private chat of course)" in a dull tone but he quickly shook it off and took on a more positive expression, The Overseer chuckled as he watched Mr.Jinx snap his fingers to turn off the radio before he answered Mr.Jinxs question about why he's here now. The Overseer said, "well let's just say an acquaintance of mine wants to see you" in a casual tone. Mr.Jinx raised a eyebrow and asked while pouring a drink for himself, "an acquaintance of yours wanting to see me? Who is it?" He asked with curiosity, Mr.Jinx then poured another cup for The Overseer before turning around and handing it over to The Overseer with a small smile and The Overseer took the cup and took a small sip out of it. The Overseer then replied, "You'll see when we get there" and this made Mr.Jinx even more curious and asked as he drank his own teacup, "So, where exactly are we going?",The Overseer then said, "I'm taking you to The Void" in a mysterious tone, Mr.Jinx spat out his drink in surprise and asked, "THE VOID!? Are you trying to get me killed?" in a surprised and shocked tone to what The Overseer even suggested and The Overseer reassured him by saying, "I'll be right there with you the whole time. Relax" in a casual tone, Mr.Jinx cleaned his mouth that was all wet with the tea he spat out in shock but nobody could blame him since the void was a dangerous in general so learning he was going there with the overseer was shocking and even more shocking because of the age reset Mr.Jinx had a month ago so he was still getting used to his younger adult body, The Overseer watched as Mr.Jinx cleaned up the mess he created from spitting out his tea at the surprise of being told they're going to the void. The Overseer said, "I'm ready whenever you are Mr.Jinx" in a serious tone. Mr.Jinx nodded and he replied, "alright I'm ready now, so let's go I guess" in a calm tone before he got up from his chair and faced towards The Overseer, The Overseer then spoke, "hold on to me and don't let go, or at least try not too" Mr.Jinx nodded as he held onto The Overseers arm and Mr.Jinx said, "I hope I'll be able to walk properly in the Void without getting dizzy or nauseous" in a casual tone and The Overseer chuckled at his comment Mr.Jinx made. Mr.Jinx had his arm linked with The Overseers arm and before they were going to leave. Mr.Jinx asked, "So, what happens exactly if I let go?" In a tone that was filled with curiosity, The Overseer replied back as he held back a chuckle while looking at Mr.Jinx, "well if you let go you'll be floating in space all alone and I won't come back to find you" this answer Mr.Jinx got back wasn't good and this made Mr.Jinx tighten his grip on The Overseers arm "Well that's not unsettling in the slightest" said Mr. Jinx with pure sarcasm as he held onto The Overseer for dear life and POP they were now in the void realm and Mr.Jinx was dead silent still holding onto The Overseer for dear life as Mr.Jinx and The Overseer landed into the void, Mr.Jinx let out a sigh of relief at the fact that he didn't float away into outer space. Mr.Jinx then looked at where he ended up and Mr.Jinx couldn't help but notice how black and cold the place was. Mr.Jinx let out a yawn and The Overseer looked at Mr.Jinx and said, "come now follow me" in a confident tone before he began walking in a certain direction, Mr.Jinx was following closely behind The Overseer and he couldn't help but look around his surroundings while they were walking. Mr.Jinx then spoke, "You know it's quite strange why this place is called "The Void" when it has something everywhere" Mr.Jinx said in a neutral tone and curiosity was in his tone. The Overseer chuckled and replied, "well this is a realm that only existed because of the void that's why so it's a logical name I might add" and this made Mr.Jinx think a bit before speaking, "fair point Overseer", the two continued to walk for a bit before Mr.Jinx asked, "So where exactly are we heading? And who's going to see us?" In a curious tone. The Overseer turned his head to look at Mr.Jinx and said, "Well to answer your first question, we're walking to see one of my old acquaintances and to your second question, you'll see" and Mr.Jinx just nodded and continued to follow The Overseer, The two continued to walk for a bit more until Mr.Jinx saw something that he could have swore that he saw but it vanished before he could actually see it. Mr.Jinx looked at the place again and couldn't see it anymore so he thought he was seeing things and went back to following The Overseer before he asked, "Was that a hallucination I just had or was it actually real?" and The Overseer replied "it was real" in a monotone tone, This made Mr.Jinx a bit unnerved since The Overseer basically said the thing he thought was a hallucination was real so he said in a nervous tone, "Uh. And pray tell, what was that exactly?" The Overseer smiled and then answered, "that's one of the many creatures that roam this realm, don't worry. You won't be dying today" and this answer made Mr.Jinx feel a lot better so he continued to follow The Overseer and they eventually came to a stop in front of a building. The Overseer and Mr.Jinx arrived to their destination and Mr.Jinx
was curious on why they stopped in front of the building to which he asked, "Why did we stop in front of this building?" In a curious tone. The Overseer looked over to Mr.Jinx and said, "we're here, so let's go in" in a casual tone. Mr.Jinx was a bit confused at first but didn't question it and he nodded in response with an excited expression on his face, The Overseer opened the door to the building and Mr.Jinx walked in behind him. As soon as they were inside the building The Overseer shut the door behind him and then a voice spoke, "Well, well, well. If it isn't The Overseer himself" the voice was deep, smooth and had a slight British accent. Mr.Jinx looked in the direction the voice came from and saw a tall and slim figure with the features of a wolf standing in the shadows while smoking a cigarette, Mr.Jinx was surprised to see another entity standing there. The Overseer sighed as he looked at the smoking wolf-like entity and replied, "yes it is me, and I see you're still smoking" he said with a disappointed tone while the wolf-like entity only chuckled in reply to his message. Mr.Jinx raised a brow at what he was witnessing and he asked curiously, "you two know each other?" In a curious tone, The wolf-like entity chuckled and replied, "Yeah the two of us have met many times before" in a casual tone and The Overseer scoffed and said, "Unfortunately" in a sarcastic tone. Mr.Jinx was surprised to hear that The Overseer didn't really like the wolf-like entity in front of him yet they still meet up with each other but Mr.Jinx decided to not ask questions and see where this was going, The wolf-like entity smirked and asked, "so you want something from me today?" In a teasing tone and The Overseer rolled his eyes and replied, "Yes, I have something I need you to do for me" and the wolf-like entity asked, "Why can't you do it yourself?" In a casual tone and The Overseer replied, "because I'm too busy at the moment to do it myself. I wouldn't have bothered you otherwise" and this made the wolf-like entity shrug before saying, "Fair enough". Mr.Jinx was still not able to figure out what The Overseer had wanted to accomplish by asking this wolf-like entity for a favor. Mr.Jinx then looked at the wolf-like entity before looking at The Overseer, he couldn't help but ask, "What favor are you trying to make The Overseer do anyway?", The Overseer and the wolf-like entity looked at Mr.Jinx with an annoyed look on Mr.Jinx's face before The Overseer replied, "it's none of your business Mr.Jinx" in a tone that sent a chill down Mr.Jinx's spine. Mr.Jinx shivered and his ears were down in fear of the tone that The Overseer gave in answering his question then Mr.Jinx puts his hand up in mock surrender as he said "well all right I won't question any further but don't expect me to not be confused because I never been here in my entire life of Living so that's that" in a calm tone as his eyes narrowed slightly and Mr.Jinx's shadow started to move on it's own but Mr.Jinx was unfazed by that and his shadow crossed it's arms as it watched, The Overseer looked at Mr.Jinx with a confused look before responding to his statement, "what do you mean by the entire time you've been alive for?" The wolf-like entity was confused too from what Mr.Jinx said and he asked, "so how long have you been alive for?" In a curious tone. This made Mr.Jinx sigh in slight annoyance as he tilts his head to his self-conscious shadow that didn't look like him at all, Mr.Jinx's shadow was bigger and sharp around the edges and in a different outfit entirely from what it looked like the shadow was wearing a cloak and sharp boot heels, The Overseer and The wolf-like entity just looked at the shadowy figure that emerged and they looked at Mr.Jinx for an explanation on what this figure was Mr.Jinx looked back and saw the look on The Overseer's and The wolf-like entity's faces and then he looked at his shadow before sighing and saying, "It's my living shadow" in a casual tone and this makes The Overseer and the wolf-like entity feel a bit surprised by this information since only executioners in the dead realm had living shadows and Mr.Jinx wasn't fazed by their reaction since he tried to keep it private but since the cat was out of the bag there was no point on denieing on who he once was, The Overseer and wolf-like entity looked at each other and then back at Mr.Jinx before The Overseer decided to ask the question, "So you used to be an Executioner?" In a serious tone and Mr.Jinx nodded in reply and said "that got slapped in the face with the age-reset and now I'm my young adult self again blah blah blah and now I have to choose another damn career" in a blunt tone, Mr.Jinx's bluntness about the current situation surprised both The Overseer and the wolf-like entity. Mr.Jinx then sighed and added, "I'm still getting used to my younger body and having my shadow around all the time even though it's no bother for me really" and this made The Overseer and wolf-like entity chuckle at his words, Mr.Jinx then asked to The Overseer and the wolf-like entity, "what are you two laughing at?" in a stern tone. The Overseer chuckled some more before trying to calm down and replying, "Nothing, it's just. You're a very entertaining person I'll tell you that much" he replied with a smile before lighting up another cigarette and Mr.Jinx just rolled his eyes, The wolf-like entity also smoked a cigarette as he looked around the room since he was interested in the room Mr.Jinx was currently living in and The Overseer noticed his gaze and asked, "Like something that you see?" in a curious tone. The wolf-like entity looked at The Overseer before looking back at where he was looking and he said, "not really. I'm just looking at the way the rooms decorated" and this made The Overseer nod in understanding, Mr.Jinx realized that they appeared back in his house which made him sigh, the house alone was small but well decorated with fine and classic furniture and paintings of Mr.Jinx's old self and beyond that there even was a photo of when Mr.Jinx was a puppy/child and with a well dressed female entity that looked nothing like Mr.Jinx but the face was blurred out and in the background there was a male entity that looked like Mr.Jinx but more tall and slickly build and practicing tricks or whatever. The wolf-like entity was interested in the picture that was hung up on the wall and he asked Mr.Jinx, "who is that in that picture with you?" in a curious tone as he pointed his cigarette towards where it was hanging. Mr.Jinx looked at the picture the wolf-like entity was pointing to and sighed again upon seeing the picture but sighs as he said "those are my parents..." in a soft tone as he adds "their names are on the top left corner of the photo if you wanted to know their names" in a casual manner and Mr. Jinx sat down on the sofa and watched as the two look at the photo for the names of Mr. Jinx's parents, The wolf-like entity examined the picture for the names and upon seeing the names it was written "Jaqueline & Rictus" which made him say "interesting" in a interested tone. The Overseer decided to look at the picture as well and he saw the names and also looked at Mr.Jinx curiously, Mr.Jinx looked at The Overseer and the wolf-like entity as they examined the photo. Mr.Jinx said with curiosity in his tone, "What's so interesting about my parents' names?" in a curious tone as he sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, The wolf-like entity then decided to answer Mr.Jinx's question and said, "Well your mother's name sounded familiar for some reason" and he shrugged as he continued to look at the picture, and this made Mr.Jinx confused by his answer, Mr.Jinx looked at the wolf-like entity and replied, "Really?, how so?" in a curious tone as he sat there wondering how his mother's name sounded familiar to the wolf-like entity, he wolf-like entity looked at Mr.Jinx and he said, "I feel like I might have heard the name Jaqueline in a conversation a while back. But I could be wrong" and he shrugged as he took another puff from his cigarette and he said, "but what about your father's name?" in a curious tone. Mr.Jinx went silent when the wolf-like entity mentioned about the name "Rictus" and this made The Overseer and the wolf-like entity suspicious of Mr.Jinx's expression and they both wondered why he suddenly looked so serious after he said his father's name, Mr.Jinx shook his head and got out of his thoughts and said, "Oh, I thought I heard something. That's all" in a casual tone and he chuckled some what nervously and this made both The Overseer and the wolf-like entity more suspicious of him. Mr.Jinx then spoke, "Anyways, What were you saying about my parents?" In a curious tone and both The Overseer and the wolf-like entity looked at Mr.Jinx. Mr.Jinx's question made both The Overseer and the wolf-like entity decide to drop the question about Mr.Jinx's parents. The Overseer said, "Forget about it it's nothing" while he shrugged and the wolf-like entity just nodded while looking at the photo of Mr.Jinx and his parents again and Mr.Jinx just nods and got up to walk over to them and as he walks he said "You know... I think I know what Im doing for my second career" in a dull tone and he crossed his arms, The Overseer and the wolf-like entity looked over to Mr.Jinx and they both said in a curious tone, "Which is?" in unison. "A Magician to finish what my father started.." Mr.Jinx said bluntly as he looks for a reaction The wolf-like entity raised a brow up and said with a confused tone, "That's it? I was expecting something else but I guess a magician is an interesting career choice" and The Overseer nodded in agreement, Mr.Jinx gave no reaction so he just gave a thumbs up and then just walks past the others and made his way to the kitchen, The Overseer and the wolf-like entity followed after MrJinx and The Overseer asked him, "Mr.Jinx may I ask you an off topic question?" in a curious tone. Mr.Jinx was about to enter the kitchen but he stopped himself and turned around to face The Overseer and he said, "yeah sure what's up?" in a casual tone, Mr.Jinx answered The Overseer's question and The Overseer replied, "I just wanted to ask if I may use your bathroom if that's alright" in a polite tone. Mr.Jinx nodded and he replied, "yeah it's downstairs just down the hallway. You'll see it when you see the door with a star on it" in an informative tone and The Overseer nodded before heading off to the bathroom that Mr.Jinx told him about, The wolf-like entity watched The Overseer leave and he said, "I guess I'm staying here alone with you until he comes back. What do we do now?" he asked with curiosity in his tone. Mr.Jinx leaned against the wall and said, "I don't know but we can just chat about whatever" in a calm tone but then Mr.Jinx realized something and he said "you know...I come to realize you never told me your name" in a calm tone and continues by saying "it's considered a rude gesture not to properly introduce yourself, now is it?" in the same calm tone but it slowly hot more and more cold the more Mr.Jinx spoke but he hid it with a smile, The wolf-like entity realised he never properly introduced himself to Mr.Jinx and he said, "now that you mention it. I guess I did forget to introduce myself" in a slightly embarrassed tone and he quickly said, "My name is Malachi. Nice to meet you" in a polite tone. Mr.Jinx nodded before replying, "Yeah, nice to meet you too Malachi" in an polite yet casual tone. Mr.Jinx then heard The Overseer come back down stairs from the bathroom and he asked The Overseer, "did you wash your hands?" In a casual tone and The Overseer rolled his eyes and replied, "yes Mr.Jinx. I did wash my hands. I'm not that dirty" in a casual tone as well. Mr.Jinx chuckled before replying, "I was just making sure" in a joking tone, The Overseer sighed and said, "very funny Mr.Jinx" in a sarcastic tone and this made Mr.Jinx chuckle to himself. Malachi raised both his eyebrows up at this and he said, "You two have such an awkward relationship" in a curious tone. Mr.Jinx replied to Malachi's comment, "Tell me about it" in a sarcastic tone, The Overseer looked over to Malachi and he said, "What do you mean by that Malachi?" In a curious tone with his eyebrow raised. Malachi just replied, "Oh nothing. It's just, the two of you seem so polar opposite is all. It's just interesting" in a causal and yet curious tone. Mr.Jinx chuckled at Malachi's comment again and The Overseer rolled his eyes again. Then Mr.Jinx took out a well cooked meal for the three of them and it was beef with strawberry red like "cranberry sauce" and took a seat at the table, The Overseer and Malachi sat down at the table Mr.Jinx prepared for them and The Overseer asked, "Wow. That's pretty well cooked for you Mr.Jinx" in an impressed tone. Mr.Jinx replied to The Overseer's words with, "Thanks, I take great pride in my cooking skills" in a casual tone. Malachi then decided to say something, "What a nice host you are" in a casual and joking tone, Mr.Jinx's ears perked up at the compliment Malachi gave him and he said, "Why thank you" in a thankful tone before he looked at his own meal and he said, "Now enjoy this meal. I tried my very best to make it a bit extra special just for today" in a joyful tone. Mr.Jinx started to eat the meal he prepared and The Overseer started to eat as well as Malachi. Both, The Overseer and Malachi thought that the food Mr.Jinx made was pretty damn good. then Mr.Jinx excuses himself from the table and he went to the bathroom and came back 4 minutes later but Malachi was no where to be found and when mr.Jinx asked The Overseer about it The Overseer just shrugged and said "they had to leave early unfortunately", Mr.Jinx looked at The Overseer with a puzzled expression and he asked, "Where did they go? Did they give any explanation of why?" In a curious tone. The Overseer was about to answer Mr.Jinx's question when the doorbell suddenly rang. Mr.Jinx looked over to the entrance of his house and he muttered to himself, "who's that at the door this time?" He then looked over to The Overseer and said, "I'll be right back. Stay here" in an friendly tone. The Overseer nodded in understanding as Mr.Jinx went over to the door to go and answer it, Mr.Jinx opened the door to see who was at the door ringing the doorbell and he saw a figure in a hooded cape. The figure had its hood over its head so he couldn't tell who was actually under it. The figure didn't even say a word and Mr.Jinx asked in a confused tone, "uh, hello? Is anybody going to say something?" he waited for a response but got nothing, Mr.Jinx was about to close the door out of frustration from the mysterious figure not saying anything but he noticed the figure holding something in its hand. Mr.Jinx's curiosity took the better of him and he asked, "what's in your hand?" in a curious tone. The figure didn't respond and simply raised the thing it was holding. Mr.Jinx's eyes widen in shock at what it was, a note. Mr.Jinx's expression turned to a more concerned one as he watched the figure just give him the note and leave. Mr.Jinx watched the figure walk away before he closed his door and he turned around to look at the note he was given. He looked at the note for a moment, wondering who this note was for and he thought 'is this note for me? Or is it just some random note someone lost?' he asked himself. He decided to open the note up and read what was written inside, inside the note was a invitation to The Core of The Entertainment District, and Mr. Jinx sighs knowing he'd be doing quite the traveling tomorrow but to make sure it was real but to make sure it was real he checked for any signatures and he found one that was a fancy "Z".Mr.Jinx looked at the fancy 'Z' signature in the note and he then decided to read the note again, "The Core of the Entertainment District" Mr.Jinx read in his head. Curious to where this place was exactly and he decided to take his phone out from his pocket and searched up the Core of the Entertainment District on the internet since the internet was very much different then the human internet it took a while to search but Mr.Jinx finally found it after a while of searching, Mr.Jinx finally found information about the core of the entertainment district. According to the website he was looking at, the core is place where many of the districts main performers all gather for special occasions, Mr.Jinx then wondered to himself as he read the information on his phone, "what special occasion is going on in the core of the entertainment district? And why would I be invited to that special occasion?" He asked himself. But the answers he got wasn't enough to satisfy him, Mr.Jinx then decided to check the date of the special occasion. He scrolled through the information to find the date and he saw that it was tomorrow!,"Bloody helll" muttered Mr.Jinx as the Overseer was getting ready to leave so Mr.Jinx bid The Overseer farewell and closed the front door and Mr.Jinx decided to head to bed for the night since it was late as heck and he didn't feel like visiting Cynthia this late so Mr. Jinx just slounged to his bedroom and closed the door behind him as he collapsed in bed.
