??? (Ace {Jinx [Kuroba Kaito]})

( Sabra Teams/Colors )
( Deco Teams/Colors )

A GENERAL NOTE ABOUT THINGS: Reasons why I'm keeping track of this and whatnot is because COLORS AND NAMES ARE REALLY IMPORTANT IN TEAMNESIA CULTURE. It's just something that Kaito/Jinx/Ace would keep track of and also have strong feelings about. v( '-')v

SO OKAY, THIS ONE HAS A QUICK HISTORY.

Basically, Kaito/Jinx's first death in Sabra La Tau was especially rough. The game had been a popularity contest thrown by the Trickster--one of the gods who was 100% into your PAIN and SUFFERING preferably in a way that's tacky and-or shocking and-or with a twist~! As he was the most social butterfly on Vulpecula, Jinx pretty much knew he was doomed to be up for the execution vote.

What he didn't expect was for there to a be a thing going on with people cheating and breaking the game (with a Judge named Flowers's help) by making the deaths for those voted on to be mostly if not completely painless. He also did not expect to be used as an example for those cheaters and killed via being fed alive to terapedes (flesh-eating giant centipedes, basically) that had puppy tails and ears glued on.

Needless to say, the revival (in Sabra, revivals were always like a REWIND of how you died) was terrible. But he had some of his friends around, one of whom was Red aka Lavi (D.Gray-man) on the dark-purple team Cepheus. Red had been through a number of death and revivals so he stuck around to help his friend through his first death by distracting him with the story.

The story went a little something like this:

( Once upon a time... )

... you'd think that'd be all to it, but many days later, Aoko/Isabelline was the new baby's first death and revival (though hers was... not as... gruesome) and Jinx was there and distracted her from thinking too hard about what just happened by... telling her this story.

Needless to say, Isa had a very different reaction to the story...
