on : Has like zero interest in her outside of the fact that she's Vulepcula and Vulpecula are HILARIOUS. Pretty much like what I said about his view of Arson above, only he knows that Trixie has more buttons to push and she WILL react. It's just more of the fact of whether or not he feels like running away from her or staying enough of a distance away so she doesn't pony him or something (which he wouldn't mind, it would be interesting! also I have a pony figure made for Izaya somewhere so derp). So basically, she doesn't really ping on his radar except lolol Vulpecula! |D
on : Ditto here. Minus the lolol Vulpecula part. Mostly, he knows that she doesn't like him much at all, but she's polite. Almost coldly so towards him, in his opinion. But this is still a positive impression on Izaya. Because she mostly keeps to herself and keeps well away from people like him. Which is good! This shows that she has a decent read of people and reacts accordingly. But overall, she's not someone who interests him very much.
on : FINDS HER AMUSING AND FUN and yet he will never ever be friends with her (he says to himself) because of the whole issue between his team and hers. It's not like he WANTS the issue to still be there, but in the tougher games like with the Game Master one, Aven pretty much knows that Vulpecula will chose Ursa EVERY TIME. And Ursa CANNOT take that sitting down, much like you stated in your own question meme. But he does know that Trixie gets it. Sort of.
However, whenever this sort of issue crops up, Aven just remembers that one time in the Storyteller game when he kept telling Vulpecula that he wasn't sure who to vote on, Trixie got upset and stormed away, and that, largely, had an effect on following through with the vote of Cetus. Not that it. Did much at all to make ANYTHING better between Vulpecula and Ursa (not that he expected it to happen, but it would have been nice 8(). But basically, that kind of impression of Trixie sticks with Aven a bit--a girl who's terrified of other teams ganging up on hers and dooming them. So he's. More willing to listen to her and more willing to try to curb some of the larger blows--but only as long as Vulpecula pulls theirs. Which. Isn't going to happen even, one side of him says.
Still, he likes Trixie over all. Finds her rather silly and a bit endearing. But still. Not going to be friends with her, nope. Even if she has a pair of his pants. Naaaaaaaaaaah. (sob)
on : LOEVS MAMALOLIBEAR FOREVER. She keeps him in line a large part of the time. He is HIGHLY protective of her when he can be, but over all, he just likes being around her because SHE GETS IT. A lot of the issues that Aven has with humans and having different faces and different things like that... they can both relate on. Though Aven always tries to remain the more optimistic one. So when Aura is upset or emotionally shut-down, it distresses Aven. Partly because he's not sure how he can help or fix whatever's wrong (sob, WHY CAN'T I BE MORE LIKE THE DOCTOR? o99) and partly because it unnerves him to think that he might have similar experiences and reactions waiting to come for him.
Things like the Dangerbear game have definitely made him protective of her but games like Game Master's also makes him aware that they are definitely equals, no question about it. Intellectually and in other aspects. She might look like a child, but she CAN, certainly, take care of herself. And then, there are times like where she smacks him with the journal to remind him that she's MOST DEFINITELY the more responsible and sensible one. AND HE IS OKAY WITH THIS. It is oddly refreshing. 8D;

Okay, so basically, coming back from the Pillar was rough and disorientating but Trixie and Chika were around to try to make things better by dragging him around with them and letting him bunk with them (though he was probably pretty tsuntsuntsundere about the whole thing, allowing it but being :/ the whole while). These are all very positive things in Trixie's favor. It has definitely made Jinx like her more since, before going to the Pillar, their relationship was a bit rocky thanks to that rude reminder of trauma that was in her heart that one time. He's always been fond of Trixie but has never really been able to properly express it the same way Kaito or Kid might have. But these things have been bringing out there dere in him, slowly but surely.
And then things happened and Allen got himself and Kaito killed in Gambler's game and Trixie spun a roulette and Kaito was revived without his sight.
TO BE HONEST, Jinx would have been fine with this. He constantly tells himself that he can adapt to pretty much any situation. Kaito had been the one to say that he makes his own luck, Kid had been the one to say that he can solve pretty much any puzzle put before him, but Jinx was the one to say that he could adapt to it, that he was fine with what was going on. The truth of the matter was? IT IS ALL ABOUT BELIEVING IN THE LIE. While Jinx WOULD HAVE BEEN fine with it, he wasn't quite to that point yet and was more instinctively confused, dismay, and terrified about being in this condition. And it wasn't only him having that kneejerk reaction. The other two-thirds of him were very much upset about this development as well. But coping mechanism say SMILE UNTIL THE SMILE IS REAL. Thus the ACT LIKE YOU ARE COOL WITH IT UNTIL YOU ARE approach. Which, if left on his own, would have worked! Eventually!
And then Trixie used his disability to her advantage and pressed about things Jinx just frankly does not want to talk about a lot of the time. Now remember, Jinx before going to the Pillar had existential issues involving whether or not he'll be able to remain as he is (i.e. separate but equal to Kid and Kaito) or whether or not he'll get taken out one of these days. So Jinx, over all, does not like it when his weaknesses are exploited. It has happened on a fair few occasions while in Sabra and very few of those occasions have ended positively. This is why Jinx got so angry with Trixie as she pushed him for answers: he's running scared, except he can't run because he can't SEE. It's also a response that both Kid and Kaito have to some extent. All three of them AVOID and OUTRUN their problems, their enemies, but in this instance, they COULDN'T.
And yet, it was an effective approach to get anything out of Jinx that he would otherwise would have made Trixie work even harder for. This was a GOOD THING, Jinx knows intellectually, but on an emotional and instinctive survival level, he feels vulnerable and thus still feels a bit upset about it, but it fell into more of a sulk after some time. Kid and Kaito both were able to recover from it and try to get Jinx to buck up--
And then Trixie essentially said "Let's throw Monoceros to the terapedes."
...
LOL. ALL THE GUILTY PINGS WITH MONOCEROS JINX HAS. TRIXIE TRIPPED THEM WITH THAT ONE STATEMENT.

So when Trixie gives that suggestion and, of course, Lucky is all for it, Jinx is like, "AH HAHAHAHA--no." But he also knows that when he was tossing up his objection, Trixie realized her mistake. Which is why, while he's irate and annoyed and maybe a bit angry at her for suggesting it, he can at least temper it some with assigning her the task to punish Monoceros for their earlier hit on Vulpecula (re: Jinx). He did this as 1) a way to make up for what she said and 2) a way to punish her because he knows that she's fond of Quartz too and wouldn't want to hurt him because he IS just a tiny as he is now. So it was a two-in-one special. Because Jinx is SUCH A NICE PERSON LIKE THAT.
... to be fair, Kaito gave him a disapproving look while Kid was very UNSURE. Kid was UNSURE because, well. He can definitely agree with Jinx in the DID YOU FORGET THAT QUARTZ IS ON MONOCEROS AND I RATHER LIKE THE TINY DETECTIVE SO FUCK YOU FOR EVEN THINKING ABOUT TERAPEDING THEM? aspect, but on the other hand... Kid actually agreeing with Jinx on something... and supporting some of the annoyed-angry reaction... uuum. That is a first in a LONG WHILE.
Trixie apologizing after that round was also A+++ for getting Jinx and Kid's tempers to cool down. Though she also ruffled Kid's feathers a bit by comparing him to a Judge (mostly because this thought made both Jinx and Kaito going "... >_>" at him). Still it at least let him know that she was TRYING to make things better and. Yeah. That's important.
So basically, Jinx is still kind of :/ at her a bit (tsuntsun), Kid is kind of 8T about everything, and Kaito is just mostly going "... you guuuys... /SIGH" at everything. So I'm. Not sure. If that tells you anything. Mostly, ALL THREE OF THE PERSONALITIES ADORE TRIXIE LIKE A SISTER but, as an older sibling-ish thing, it's kind of like \o/ ffffffffffffff. Which is largely why Trixie might end up with Jinx being more of a jerk to her when he DOESN'T want to talk about something, but also why she would stand more of a chance of getting that something out of him eventually.
Also why she should be careful should there ever be a heart game. More rooms to unlock!
REVERSE!

No actually it went like, Trixie saying "dude we should hit monoceros with SOMETHING", Lucky suggesting Queen's Curse, and Trixie not arguing.
Not that. That really... helps.
She's still very ._. about it SORRY JINX. HURRY UP AND LOVE ME AGAIN.
I'll come ramble at you for the reverse when I'm back from my sight test. 8Db

on Izaya - Every smile she points his way is a very polite request for him to stick his head in a raptor's mouth. She is good at reading people—she's basically a galactic FBI agent, it's in her job description. On top of that, he earned her dislike when he bullied Poppy during the… was it a truth or dare game? It was one of Haunted's, at any rate. BUT YEAH she'll be coldly polite to his face because that's what she DOES, and that's about it.
on - MAMALOLIBEAR LOEV DOCTORBEAR. For… Pretty much the same reasons as you said; he understands, in ways that the others don't. They're both old, neither are human (she... KIND of is, but there's enough of a difference), they've both worn different faces and seen, done, terrible things. They just react to them differently. Aven's odd mixture of optimism and darkness is… not an inspiration, as such. But it's SOMETHING. The GM Game highlighted her appreciation for his intelligence; they're equal and they work well together. Unlike with most people, if she thought he was going too far, she'd tell him, try to reign in him—it's a somewhat similar principle to the way she calls him out when he's being a big dumb boy. Buuuuuut if he's ever upset, she will be there with a good cup of tea, and if she ever catches somebody trying to hurt him, well. >|
on Izaya - He's a dumb terrorist who needs to stay AWAY from her team. :T … is basically the only thought she had. If Trixie had any reason to believe she could get away with killing him, she would. Which is an extreme reaction, to be sure, but he's troublesome enough to deserve it. It's probably a good thing that he prefers picking on other Vulps; she's agile enough that catching him and punching him wouldn't be too difficult. And. Yeah. BAD END?
on - Mostly positive feelings! Dumb arguments are a fffairly good way to earn Trixie's favor, and he gave as good as he got. AND THEN HE LET HER HAVE PANTS, HOW AWESOME IS THAT? She really doesn't CARE that he's on Ursa; she doesn't care that their teams have a bit of a hate-on for each other; she doesn't care that they're going to hurt each other in games. … Well, if they do start talking more often, she may try to lower the damage where she can. Trixie's been in Sabra for long enough, and her experiences in games is such that… sometimes, friends are gonna hurt friends. For example, PYXIS EATING HER IN DANGERBEAR (although that was only okay because she got to fight back… After what Lepus and Ursa said in the aftermath, she gets the feeling that Aven, in similar circumstances, would want her to die quietly haha yeah not happening).
Mostly, though, she just wants to Not Think About that stuff until she absolutely has to, in favor of…: HAY AVEN HAY AVEN /ponies him

YEAH. IT'S COMPLICATED.
The baseline is, Trixie adores all of Kaito. Kid, Kaito, Jinx—doesn't matter. He just also frustrates the hell out of her. :'D He is SO COMPLICATED and SO BROKEN and SUCH A GODDAMN DRAMA QUEEN, and when it comes down to it, despite her tricks and deceptions and defences (which are pretty much in tatters in Sabra anyway), Trixie's a fairly straight-forward person. She doesn't wanna play head-games; she just wants to be there for somebody she cares for. She also lives very much in the moment. After Gambler's game, she was already upset (combination of crappy game and feeling guilty because her crappy luck had blinded him). And she KNEW that Jinx wasn't okay, but he was acting; he was acting badly.\o/; If he'd just said, "I'm not okay right now but I will be", she'd have left it at that. But… yeah, no. And things escalated.
And then the Game Master game came along, and… l-lol. Oops. She is kkkkiiind of really worried that his tsun towards her is… never… going to recover… which is one of the reasons why she quietly accepted the punishment he designated for her. Part of her wanted to speak up and say, "Hey Jinx, you know that crater-thing and the MASSIVE CRACKS in one of the walls in our room? Yeah? DO YOU REALLY WANT THAT HAPPENING TO YOUR TINY'S FACE..." buuuuut she also knows it would've been a flimsy excuse. And 'sides, it's better than getting Lucky to do it, and WAY better than it would've been if they HAD hit Mono with a high card.
…. Really, I think… Trixie's a bit of a kicked puppy right now. Things had been going SO WELL \o/; and she's RUINING IT \o/;; just like she ALWAYS DOES BECAUSE TRIXIES AND YUFFIES ARE ONLY GOOD FOR BREAKING THIIIIINGS. Why, yes, she DOES have a bit of a complex. Hurr. She's just doing her best to roll with it, and not change her behaviour towards him too much (tsunderedere). Still silently helping him when/if he needs it, despite his tsun, still bantering and bickering with him, etc. Still pretty damn protective of him, because ~kaitou~ or not, he's not really a combatant, whereas she sure as hell is. All that fun stuff. She totally wants to kidnap him away to Pyxis sometime. :|b And has/will slip him one or two of her chocolates, since Fang gave her a box a couple of days ago.
In summary: ninja is insecure but loves thief in a 'he's totally a dysfunctional older brother' way.
Aven's thoughts on Ursa as a team…? Not so much the individual members, but the way they do things, etc. Especially in response to bad games.
