(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.

[Maria knows she's missing a lot of context but she can still smell bullshit.]

Unfortunately not. I only had a sword in my possessions when I washed ashore.

[opheliac]

A sword? Pffffft!! — What are you? A thousand years old?! HA!

(wow, that took a sudden turn, didn't it?)

Swords are usually used by old people that can't let go or move on to today's technology in fighting.

This isn't rock paper scissors. You need the best weapon for the job.

—Signed, gun & sword user

[opheliac]

(text message RIGHT back at this stranger.)

and thats guns.
gunplay is better than knifeplay by far. it feels better at the end too.

[martyrofduty]

Short range, sword's faster than gun.

Don't die because you're biased.

[opheliac]

heres the thing about me. if i do die around here, itd be by my own hands and my own weapons.

no one gets end me but me. 💣💥

[martyrofduty]

Talk to me when you wise up. A few deaths, a pommel to the head, whatever it takes.

[opheliac]

hmmmm hmmmmmmmmmmmm. nope. dont think i will. but my chompers might have a few words tho. they love to chit chat.

[martyrofduty]

Teeth to a swordfight. Your choice.

ive got a better chance of exchanging a friendly hug with the reckoning

i cant say youre wrong

[opheliac]

just try not to fall over too quickly from a heart attack, geezer. watching ppl dancing in flames is my fav part! 🥰🔥🔥

[martyrofduty]

I'd hate to disappoint.

[opheliac]

and i hate being bored! ha ha ha!

[givetheslip]

Tell that to all the men I've killed with one.

[opheliac]

Sure, sure. Point 'em to me and I'll give them a lil' talk.

(now she's just toying and teasing with her.)

[givetheslip]

If their corpses wash up here like we did, I'll be sure to do so.

[She is actually smiling a little, despite herself. Good memories?]

[opheliac]

Waitwaitwait! Do you think they do? — If so, we oughta go corpse robbin' if they're still clothed.

(at least she can bring out a smile in someone. jinx is more use to bringing out anguish and frustration out of people.)

[givetheslip]

I think it very unlikely, but anything is possible.

[No it's not.]

[opheliac]

You wanna scoop it out and see?

[givetheslip]

My schedule is quite busy at the moment [no it's not] but do let me know if you happen upon anything.

[opheliac]

Awwww, no time for lil' ol' me? That's fine! Your loss, Lady!

[givetheslip]

I'll console myself somehow.
