(VIDEO) — UN: BOMBSHELL

[opheliac]

(the video begins of a zoom up of a pair of eyes. an animal to be exact. they blink curiously before it gets pulled back -- revealing it's a spider monkey holding the omni. he holds it up above him and even turns it upside-down and other various angles. hopefully the lovely people aren't easily to become motion sickness upon viewing this but if they do, their own fault really.)

Got it workin'?

(there's a voice coming from off camera; familiar to some or not. but the monkey looks off to the direction of the voice before turning the omni over so whoever is watching can now see jinx sitting in a chair -- slouching with her arm hanging over the top railing. there's a grin that slowly grows on her face, however, it's not... exactly a friendly kind. impish? troubling? dangerous? you'd be the judge. nevertheless, jinx hunches over now with both her arms drape over her knees -- looking directly at the omni.)

So! — Greetings people of.... whatever this place is. Kiiiinda forgot the name but not really important. I've been hearin' a lotta here and there that I've been here before. Don't really remember it, though. (a brief pause as she thinks.) Except the last time. I remember the last time but not the other times.

Buuuuuuuuut ♪! Since I've been here a whoooole BUNCH of times that means I gotta have some friends here, right?

(she bites her bottom lip to hold back a giggle as the video suddenly wavers around. but quickly it straightens up and focus with a closer look of jinx (it seems she's the one holding it now) in a bird's eye view. her spider monkey climbs on her body then curling himself along her shoulder and neck while also looking up at the feed along with her.)

So if ya know me, contact me. OH! And you got like, thirty minutes to convince me why my former self even bothered wasting my breath on you. Don't keep me waitin' too long 'cuz I get bored easily.

(a beat.)

ACTUALLY, NEVERMIND!!! — Decided to change it to twenty minutes. (her spider monkey seems to be screeching in laughter at jinx's sudden time change but resumes on nuzzling it's head against her cheek.)

OH OH! One more big thing. There's someone here by the name of Vi. If you know her, contact me too. So we can aaaaalll be friends and get along. No shame in that, right?

(she says this but there's something about that smile that really makes it... off putting. regardless though, jinx hums quietly as she cocks her head to the side.)

Tick-tock, tick-tock.

[uhhhh]

...Yeah, I know her. Our guard shifts sometimes line up at the outpost.

You're from the same place then?

[opheliac]

Yyyyeeep! We're closer than you think. But my question is, how close are you to her?

video; un:gamemaster

[chessboardturn]

Uh, think we met on the boardwalk thing right? That was kinda recent.

[opheliac]

Squid buddy!!! — You're still here!

(she claps her hands together with a wide grin.)

How's tricks?

hmmmm
runs headlong into trouble fists swinging
without looking first
speaks first thinks later

no i have never heard of such a person
they sound ridiculous

You don't count.

[inkedspell]

Are you good? I can't tell if this is some kind of high or sleep deprivation or both.

[opheliac]

(her expression instantly twist to dull at the voice. it seems whoever this voice belongs to, she might have a run in with. not that she'll mind. it just means more fun for her.)

Has anyone told you to not say stupid things to crazy people? It makes us irritable.

video: un: vi

[faceblocks]

What's---

[wow. just wow. and fang really??]

---what's happening here?

[opheliac]

Ooooh, y'know...! I'm gettin' to know the people here, Sis. Isn't it obvious? — Du~uh!!

audio | un: sds

[fogsong]

[ Sharon picks up on the strangeness behind Jinx’s grin but only makes a mental note of it. ]

I know Vi. We both work the Outpost. I wouldn’t call us friends or anything but we’ve bonded. [ yeah, over their mutual admiration of a beautiful and totally badass dhampir. ]

You two close back home?

[opheliac]

Really... (she lets the word trail off while her eyes narrow over the voice. if only this voice would show a face. but it appears jinx will have to vision how this person could possibly look like for now.)

Bonded over what?

video; un: lady

[dohaeris]

[jinx might be able to hear sansa echo from the other room. she sounds faintly amused.]

It's called Trench.

I have a tunic ready for you whenever you grow tired of frightening people on the net work.

[opheliac]

(and like with sansa, there will be an echo right back when she speaks back.)

Uuuuughhhh!! — Don't you have a life or somethin'?! Why are you always buggin' me?!

video; un: warden

[megatheorem]

[Ah, the elusive little sister... this sure is a post, but all things considered, the vibes could be way worse. So.]

You must be Vi's sister, right? Hi; I'm checking in, as a friend of hers.

[opheliac]

Yeah, I am. The name's Jinx. And I'm startin' to see she really made a mark here. How swell.

(and somehow that tone of hers is not sounding so thrilling. jealously maybe? perhaps. or simply the fact vi seem to have everything in order and here she is just... here. it's again she thinks, "why would she need me when she seems to have everything laid out so perfectly?")

voice; un:suckmyodangos

[bleedformeplz]

Tick-tock. Tick-tock. Is that a coo-coo clock?

[Don't know who this is but...]

You've been here before and you don't remember? Is that something to call normal here?

[not here]

[faceblocks]

[but that username gets a snort.]

voice; un: Dynamight

[detonating]

[Well that's a face he hasn't seen in a long fucking time. Taking obvious bait and feeding into some bullshit isn't typically anywhere near Katsuki's agenda, but it seems that today is going to be a slight deviation from the norm. He's biting, but he definitely ain't fucking around.

Straight to the point.]

Some shit doesn't change, huh? You're just as unhinged as ever. [There's just a beat, between that and his rough voice continuing on.] Fishbones. That ridiculous launcher of yours. Won it back for you in a carnival game. Why're you askin' about Vi?

[Because that's suspicious as fuck, and while he ain't sure that he'd call Vi his friend, he... gives just enough of a shit to try to figure out why crazy pants here is seeking out her acquaintances. Katsuki never learned of their relation to each other, when they were here last.]

[opheliac]

(again, it's such a shame there's no face to match the voice. but for him, he will practically see jinx squealing and doing a jig in her seat.)

Okayokay, first off? Your name is amazing and you've immediately pass the thirty minute test. You've won me over. Second, whoa! They took Fishbones from me? — Tell me I shot whoever was responsible for that.

Aaaaaand third! ... 'Cuz I can.

[Now that's a smile Maul doesn't trust, mainly because it reminds him of those psychotic smirks he himself is capable of. When he answers, he's got a slight smile on his own face, made a little disconcerting by the amount of sharp fangs showing.

He looks like a demon from hell in appearance, all red-and-black skin with a crown of horns on his head. But his voice is completely incongruous with his appearance, all soft-spoken, velvety, and sounding like a cultured British university professor instead of a Sith assassin.]

Now, now, you don't get my name until I know yours. Quid pro quo, my young friend.

[opheliac]

(what an interesting looker this guy is. and that smile of his, to boot. it would take a complete dummy to not see this guy is on the dangerous side. but even though, she shows no fear. after all, this is between an omni. not like he can harm her. and even if he wildly decides to (be stupid of him to challenge her), she is locked and loaded.)

Hmmm, fair, I guess. The name's Jinx. And before ya ask, it stands for Jinx!! Your turn, what's yours? Can I call you "Horns"?

video, un: GoldenFlowers

[the_obedient_servant]

What an odd introduction!

[They're here to offer useless commentary.]

Welcome to Trench. I don't know you. You must have been quiet and well behaved the last few times you arrived. [That's a joke. But also, they truly don't know her. Still, they are curious.]

I am Chara. And you are?

[opheliac]

There's no way the former me just sat around and twiddled her thumbs. — There's just waaaaay too much stuff that needs to be DEMOLISHED!

But hey, The name's Jinx. Be sure to remember it or else Pow-Pow will get fussy about it.

(right off the bat, she is threatening this stranger with her machine gun. but it's not like chara knows that. yet.)

un: falcogrice

[grice]

Who're you, Miss?

[ "dangerous" seemed like his gut reaction; he doesn't quite like the idea of spilling information so openly about vi this way, either. this woman didn't seem like one he could trust— even if he's seen the word "sister" a few times. eren and zeke were brothers, too, and that didn't stop them from a world of hurt between each other. ]

[opheliac]

The name's Jinx, nice to meetcha! And whom am I speakin' to? Hopefully someone that won't bore me to tears. 'Cuuuuz that's gonna be a problem.

[ This entire broadcast feels about twice as strange when Chizuru can't see a thing about what's going on. All she can do is hear this person speak, and she has to wonder to herself whether or not she recognizes the voice. She doesn't think she recognizes it - but it's hard, when she can't put a face to the voice. ]

Um..

[ Still, there was one part in all of this that was relevant. That made Chizuru feel like she ought to speak up. Maybe it helps that she couldn't see the smile as the other said it. ]

I know her. Miss Vi, I mean. I-- I wouldn't dare say that I know her super well, or that we're really close or anything, but.. she has been very kind to me so far!

[opheliac]

Has she? So noooo Fat Hands accidentally sluggin' ya? 'Cuz she does that sometimes, y'know.

text - UN: IceCream

[threelayers]

We met when you washed up on shore.
I'm the pink haired one who doesn't say much, haha. Name's Neo if you forgot that.
As for "Prove why I should care?"

How's about dinner for a reason? Food usually works for giving a shit.

[She knew Vi, but she opted not to bring her into this. Something about that smile said there was more there, and Neo wasnt one to just wade in without checking the water first.]

[opheliac]

Oh, hey, you're.... shit. I forgot the nickname I gave ya. But if you're payin', dinner sounds good! I've been starvin' and I think my organs are gonna go against themselves if I don't eat soon.

video; un: [user not set]

[givetheslip]

I've met Vi.

[Buuuut she is suspicious...something about this woman strikes her as odd. In multiple ways.]

You're a friend of hers?

[opheliac]

We're more than friends, Lady. And who are you?

[Video] username: secondtolast

[icanhearscreams]

... I know Vi.

[He's not so sure about this friends thing, but =]

She's been training me.

[opheliac]

Oh, really? Which thing? The fightin' ooooor the monkey jumps?

video; un: taka

[retsuden]

[ He already has a headache and feels like ignoring this is in his best interest, but maybe he hates himself extra hard today. ]

... Why do you care who knows her?

[opheliac]

Didn't ya hear me, silly? I wanna know so we can be friends. Don't tell me you're against THAT, are ya?

[Video] un: QueenCobra

[abornfighter]

[It's a good thing that she's made a habit of looking in on public conversations. Maybe it's eavesdropping, but it at least helps her get the context of why this girl is asking about Vi.

Her ostrich-sized dragon peers from behind Tory at the odd blue-haired girl who seems not quite right in the head.]

I don't know Vi well, but she seems cool. Anyway, hi.

[opheliac]

Hi and whoa!! I like your animal thingie. Is that your omen? What's its name?

un: Oracle, video

[adaine]

I see you're making friends. [Not even sarcastic, to be honest. Well, it's a little sarcastic but she does seem to be making actual friends amongst the other crazy people.]

I think I've already answered the "why did you put up with me" test, but for the record, I'm a friend of Vi's too.

[opheliac]

HEY, it's Abby! How's it hangin'? I was wonderin' when you were gonna make an appearance.

(she is definitely excited to see her. because so far, she's the only one besides bakugou who knows her in person. everyone else seem to only heard of her because of her sister. which... jinx has mix feelings with. she doesn't want to be known as "oh you're the little sister" and thus get associate with vi's shadow; her number two. no, she wants to be known as her own person.)

video | un: sharpshooter

[azurestar]

[So she's back! He likes Jinx, but her external rambling sounds kinda like his internal voices ever since some stuff happened to his head and thaaat's unsettling. But also kind of fascinating in a bad influence sort of way.]

Oh yeah, I totally know you both. You better than her, though. I think you liked that I blew up an immortal jerk-wad that was trying to hunt us to death. And I'm just going to take a wild guess and say you like anything that can cause explosions.

[He figured that out within the first minute of meeting her, so he's just being cheeky.]

text un: vi

[faceblocks]

[she does not remember this username, but she doesn't remember every single one, and there are a small handful of people she interacts with (mostly outpost and sanctuary) whose shifts overlap. ninja school? nope? wait. maybe nope? still thinking.]

Mind refreshing my memory on how we met? It wasn't at a tournament, was it?
