(VIDEO) — UN: BOMBSHELL
(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.

she doesn't think ekko would have killed jinx - not without great great provocation - he could have done it when he'd taken vi, right? every way she tries to slice it, and she doesn't know everything - but from what she does know, something feels off about that. would he have beaten her unconscious? yeah, probably - because that would likely be the only way to get her to stop, to back down. s
he hates that idea. she hates the way jinx curls into herself - because it makes her feel guilty, pissed off at herself and her contribution to this. she hates the racing eyes, that shimmer tear and had jinx not wiped it away she would have tried to do so herself.]
Nope. Not a Firelight. I like to call him "Fussy". He kind of likes it.
[...]
I'm gonna file a question away for later, cause I have something I want to ask you, but I can tell you don't want to talk about it now.
no subject
no subject
...to yourself?
[ugh that hurts to ask. but the thought of it - and the array of answers she imagines could come - is one of the worst things she's thought about in a while.]
no subject
(already forgetting what she is referring to. and it's the fact she takes it all so lightly is probably very disturbing to many.)
no subject
[yes, that's disturbing to vi even though it's not exactly surprising.]
no subject
'Cuz one, I knew he'd fly away if I did that. Two, I had the crystal in my hand already and the mission was to retrieve back what was taken. It was an unofficial mission, though. Silco had no idea the Firelights took it in the first place. I didn't... want to tell him or let him down so. Kiiiinda went and handle it on my own.
Anyway with the Bug gone and the stone in hand, I was sure someone from our side would had came across me eventually. And bingo, I was right.
— Aaaaand to combine two and three... the main goal was to gain Zaun's independence over Piltover by all costs. If it means my death in the process, then it means that. Fight and die for the cause, y'know. I was and still am prepared for that. I am a weapon and a solider so.
(she shrugs back to her again, thinking this is no big deal. but it just goes to show how warped her mind became during vi's absence. it also reveals how jinx sees herself. in some way, she views herself as a tool than a breathing human being. and to make it worse, she is completely content by it. now was it silco's intention to make her believe she is a tool? a weapon? maybe or maybe not. that is something she will have to ask him if he ever decides to come up a shore.)
no subject
You're a weapon. [not disagreeing, not happy. she guesses she's a weapon too - just not pointed at anything bigger than herself except silco (even that was her own grudge as much as it was to bring peace to the undercity) until she came here.] A soldier. [again, not a protest. vi supposed she would have done the same had vander let her fight - had the lanes gone to war and things turned out differently - it's what she wanted to be, then, more than anything. she'd been willing to fight when he wasn't. she regrets pushing that, now.] You're also a person. You're my sister. My ...friend.
[it sounds so weak, so stupid my friend - but what the fuck does she care - they'd agreed to be honest, so that means jinx gets the stupid with the smart.]
I wouldn't have been ready to lose you like that. Not for anything.
no subject
there's a small to her; small and saddening but it's there still. her sister is really trying so damn hard to make amends with her and making all of this... work. to untangle all the knots out of an enormous ball of yarn. they have such a long way to go and she wishes she could rush it and have it be done with. but she knows the only way is to take her time with it. and vi must know that too.)
... Hey, Vi?
no subject
[time. she doesn't know if there would ever be enough time to sort this out - and that some parts maybe can't be fully sorted - but isn't that life? and she wants to try, even if it's messy, and how can it be anything but messy? it's a snarl that's grown so big, lies tangled in truths tangled in assumptions and pride and suspicions all caught up with trauma on both sides.
vi wishes they could rush it, too. she has to remind herself that's ...not how to do this. this is going to be slow and steady and messy and with probably more than a few backslides. some of that's on trench. but fuck it.]
no subject
but soon, she moves her mouth away her legs and in a hush tone with a sheepish tiny smile:)
Uhm.... I love you.
(those three words that hadn't been said in...well, in years. in fact, jinx can't recall the last time they've even said that to each other. sometime waaaay before the heist but... she can't remember what that life was before that day nor their actual parents' faces, their names?)
no subject
I love you too, Jinxie.
[i always did. maybe not in the right way, maybe too much to allow you to grow, to change, to be ...something other than a memory that became an idea - an idealized version of someone that didn't exist anymore. i'm trying to change that. you were different at nine than you were at five and i still loved you. different at eleven than you were at nine and ...same. that's me, too. we don't have to be on the same page about everything, but maybe in time some things, and even if not you're still my sister and i love you more than anything. i know you're trying too. maybe even harder than i am.]
no subject
her smile is bigger -- again for the first time maybe, it's real. there's no hidden meaning behind it or some twist. a real love expression and vi can see her excitement by toying with her bangs; a mixture of blue and yellow. )
Hey, hey. Um... whaddya doin' out there anyway? Sight-seein'?
no subject
Kinda. I'm on my way home with some of what I looked at. [cookies, a blank book and some colored pencils - mostly brights. a second, separate set of pencils - all the colors, every one she could find.] Got a coupla things for you.
[the cookies will be handed over without ceremony. the art supplies will be wrapped (and wrapped brightly and well because she paid for this) and given to jinx after hiding her own hands behind her back and asking her sister to play a game of pick-a-hand.]
no subject
(if she were to guess, it must be something to help her with her way living here. more incense? wait, vi has plenty. another robe? )
no subject

no subject
(did... she just said "anymore"? someone should probably warn her or try to diffuse whatever is going on in there.)
no subject
No booby traps anymore and we've got a deal.
[sansa can deal with threats, she's learned - sansa shrugs off threats better than a lot of people.
also, vi's gonna be a little later than she thought. and speaking of sacrifices, fang is now going to have to have a conversation with winter about how to defuse whatever ...is in there. winter needs to know, and perhaps has Knowledge. or maybe he's been defusing them all the while - that one is crafty.]
no subject
(was this a sneaky tactic to get explosives all along? maybe not all the way through. but jinx managed to get more of them without lifting a single finger so overall, it's a win for her. this is probably something she won't be able to pull off again. with anyone else in trench, sure. but with vi? nah. she'll probably catch on later (or now) that she just got dooped. sucks to suck, tee hee.)
