In a hideout deep in the Undercity, a blue-haired loose canon looks over the golden wing of a soon-to-be mechanical butterfly
"Lookin' good..." Jinx thinks to herself as she holds up the part in the air, eyeing it with one eyeball open. She sets down the piece and fetches her welding gun
Wanna join me?
Come and play
But I might shoot you in your face
Sparks begin to fly as she welds the pieces of the butterfly together, melting them into place with much enthusiasm
Bombs and bullets will do the trick
Jinx happily mouths some of the lyrics as she puts the finishing touches on her current butterfly. She sets it aside along with her welder while somewhat dancing to the tune. She then spins in her chair and holds one of her wrenches as a microphone, acting as if she's the singer of the manic song
Yet, in the midst of the song, there appears to be a familiar voice. "Jinx!" Silco calls out to her but is ignored as the girl is immersed in her work, making his voice seem like nothing more than muffled static
What we need here is a little bit of panic
Jinx stands and writes some notes on her blueprints before grabbing them and reviewing them while bopping her head side-to-side to the melody of the song
"Jinx!" Silco yells again, but his voice falls on deaf ears once more as Jinx puts down her prints and grabs a complete mechanical butterfly, observing its design for any flaws or improvements under a lens
"Jinx!" He shouts yet again, but like before, his voice is drowned out by the music and intense focus Jinx has for her work, who is now aggressively moving her head to the explosive lyrics of the song
