(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.

Yeah, but these were innocents.

The enemy pilot wasn't, I guess... but everyone else was.

[Private]

[opheliac]

So you've killed innocent people, is that it?

[Private]

[icanhearscreams]

Yeah. I - my hand was forced, but I'm not going to deny that I did it.

It made me not want to fight like that ever again.

[Private]

[opheliac]

Guess I kinda get it. I get it but I don't get it. But hey!! To each their own, right?

(because in jinx's very warped mind, sometimes... in order to get rid of the target, the innocence might have to go down with them. a shame but it's for the greater good.)

[Private]

[icanhearscreams]

[That is, in fact, exactly what happened.]

Mm. In any case... I'm Jun. What's your name?

[Private]

[opheliac]

The name's Jinx. Hey, we both got "J"s in our names. We can be "J and J"...!

[Private]

[icanhearscreams]

[Ah. She's one of those people.]

Whatever. As long as you call me by my name I don't really care.

[Private]

[opheliac]

But wheeeeeere's the fun in that? What if I call ya "Junny"?

[Private]

[icanhearscreams]

What are you, twelve?

[He's thirteen, he can't really talk. But still.]

[Private]

[opheliac]

Do I sound like I'm twelve to you?

[Private]

[icanhearscreams]

Kind of, yeah.

[Private]

[opheliac]

I'm fucking eighteen!

[Private]

[icanhearscreams]

Really? The nicknames made you sound a lot younger.

[Private]

[opheliac]

If you're tryin' to call me a kid, I'm not. It's normal to give people nicknames!

[Private]

[icanhearscreams]

It is - for kids.

[Private]

[opheliac]

Keep it up and you'll be first on my hate list.

[Private]

[icanhearscreams]

Oh no. I'm terrified.

[He doesn't sound it.]

But seriously - how do you know Vi?

[Private]

[opheliac]

Seriously? You haven't figured it out yet?

[Private]

[icanhearscreams]

Not really, no. A friend of hers from home?

[Private]

[opheliac]

Moooore than that!

[Private]

[icanhearscreams]

[If not a friend, then...]

Family of some sort?

[Private]

[opheliac]

You win! And your prize is me buggin' you for the rest of forever. Congratulations!

[Private]

[icanhearscreams]

Oh, what joy. I can hardly wait.

[Private]

[opheliac]

Don't worry, Junny. Stick with me and we'll shake off that sulkin' attitude you got goin'. I'll have you shape up to be the life of the party in no time!!

[Private]

[icanhearscreams]

[He just sighs deeply, rubbing his forehead.]

I'm not really a party person, I'm more of a book person to be honest.
