Chapter Seven

Jinx arrives in a cleaning frenzy, sterilizing the apartment and reorganizing everything, then retreats into his room, hinting at “brain chemistry” struggles. He adopts simple clothes, stacks his books on the floor, names a new ficus Earnest, and spends long stretches in the bathroom. Margo worries, but Suzie urges her to let him cope.

Needing money, Margo starts producing content for her HungryGhost OnlyFans: shower photos, Vaseline water-bead shots, and a bio offering playful Pokémon-themed dick ratings. At first nothing happens, but her first subscriber, U1134967, tips and requests a rating; Margo crafts a Tentacruel write-up that delights him, leading her to post sillier, frequent content and simple videos. More fans trickle in, including RocketRaccoon69, reaching twenty subscribers.

Meanwhile, Jinx cooks from scratch, including lasagna, and talks wrestling. When Margo asks how to “build celebrity,” Jinx explains “heat” versus getting “over,” and stresses persona and having “buddies.” They watch matches with Suzie, and the idea of cross-promotion clicks for Margo.

Margo messages creator WangMangler, sends a $500 CashApp payment for a three-day pinned promo, and—at WangMangler’s condition—drops her subscription price to $4.99 to entice conversions. Realizing she may not recoup the cost, Margo is nauseated, but she also creates a TikTok to tap discovery, betting on growth through external platforms and alliances.
