(VIDEO) — UN: BANANA HAMA ➤ OMEN'S POV

[opheliac]

cw: terrorism

(can one even make out what's happening? there's just a lot of frantic movement. there's a point it does stop and one will spot some familiar establishments. it seems this is taking place in WILLFUL MACHINE and whoever is the recorder is up high like on a rooftop of some kind. finally the recorder speaks, it's a (ooc: mugman/cuphead goofy accent) voice no one will recognize except fang or vi since he doesn't usually speak unless needed:)

Oh man, oh man! I only looked away for a few seconds. Where did she go now?

(well to answer this omen's question, there's some shots being fired somewhere in the distance. the omen monkey screeches and back to the frantic running. occasionally in his pants, one can hear him say,"We might have an emergency! Someone might be hurt!" there's a maniac crackling, too. it's echoing in the skies and becomes louder the more this omen is getting closer to the scene. and finally now on ground level, there are trenchies running from the opposite direction from where this omen is sitting -- luckily, they are darting out the way so he won't get trampled over.

and there is jinx with her gun aiming down at the citizen lying there on his back. is there blood? yes, there is. the trenchie is definitely wounded on his shoulder in which he grips over.)

Please, I'm sorry!! I-I didn't mean to pull on your hair. It was an accident, I swear!!

(all...this...fuss over a hair tug? it's like jinx has forgotten how ridiculously long her braids are. however though, she doesn't seem to be taking the apology but instead grinning wickedly before crouching down to the stranger. the barrel is press hard underneath his chin; maybe it'll leave an imprint there. she certainly hopes so. chewing on her bottom lip, she finally decides to speak...sorta.)

♪ Ice in my veins
I run in the night
Ready to fight
It's Do or Die ♪
(ooc: lyrics here if you want follow along.)

video + action

(maybe [YOU] are out here in WILLFUL MACHINE and saw the commotion and [YOU] wish to stop this mayhem. well, it's too bad. because the moment jinx starts moving, [YOU] will be her backup dancer to her singing and dancing. hope you have a fun workout!

meanwhile, mr.bananas is just recording this still because he is completely dumbfounded at what the fuck is happening. TOO MUCH IS GOING ON!!! oh as for the bloody trenchie? he ran off during this dance number so. at least, he's got away and is safe somewhere.)

[faceblocks]

Like you've never tugged on anyone's hair.

[she's able to get to the machine in no time, but she finds a different sort of commotion than she expected. trying to move through a wall of backup dancers is high on the list of both the unexpected and the absurd, but it's happening. it's doing nothing to help her (mild) hangover from partying through halloween and into the next day. thanks lance. (nah, it's fine. actually thanks.)

but she's looking for the trenchie, hands rifling through her kit and pausing to direct a 'wtf' look in the omen's direction.]

[opheliac]

(when her dumb dance number (yes, mr.bananas thinks it was dumb but only because of the circumstances. if any other situation, he would praise her) is over with, the crowd is looking all bewildered as to what just happened. but it only last for a few seconds before remembering, oh wait, this blue haired girl just shot a person. so they start to scatter and leaving jinx standing there in confusion.

mr. bananas spots vi and rushes right over.)

Oh Vi, Oh Vi! Thank goodness you're here!

(he will hop on over the older sister's shoulder and perch himself there in a huff.)

It's this pesky shimmer aggression of hers! It's such a problem. She keeps going off the handle over the littlest things. But not to worry, I have the ring in my vest coat.

(that being said, he fishes in his tiny pocket and tada! ring.)

[faceblocks]

[vi will take the ring if he insists, but she wonders if he's got a better chance of getting it on her finger than she does. she offers him a tired look and holds out her hand.

that there had been a group performance at sansa's nameday specifically about putting a ring on a finger comes to mind. the humor is not completely lost - she briefly considers doing the dance in hopes that it'll make this somehow easier, but instead she'll just charge in.

if mr. bananas can ground her and take her omen away, then vi can step up, too. why didn't she do it in the first place?]

I've got a little constructive criticism, sis.

[opheliac]

(right when she is on her way to maybe track down the trenchie or just move on to the next wild thing, jinx hears her sister's voice from a little aways. with a spin on her heel, she faces vi with a big grin on her face -- cheery as all she can be. sure to everyone else, this is/was a tragic sight to see and worrisome. but for jinx, this is such a thrill seeking feeling and is now on a mission to chase after the rush.)

Oh, oh, oh? Whatcha got for me?

(and she does the mistake of shimmer speeding close to vi for better hearing. because once she is close, the blood ring's effect immediately crashes into her like a sudden slap to the face. in one way, her body shows peace and serenity -- the grip of her pistol is loose and might slip to their feet if she isn't careful. but on the hand while her expression relaxed and ease, there's slight irritation buried in, too.

her gaze is at her sister's hand or her pockets (she knows that ring is somewhere on her person) then a slow raise of her pinks to lock her steel greys. she'll give her sister a chance to speak, though.)

Well, this is a lot. The whole singing and dancing thing would have been surprising all by itself, but even as Chizuru's mind seems to linger on the song as if it's somehow been enchanted by it, the back of her brain is still buzzing with everything that was visible before that. The people running. The panic. And then Jinx right there, just-- threatening someone like that. So casually.

It leaves Chizuru worried, and a little terrified. She doesn't even known if her resposne will be seen in the middle of all this half-performance half-chaos, or if it will be seen only later after it all, but she still can't help but leave a message, her eyes wide with terror. ]

W-What's happening..?

[ Is Jinx really out there threatening people for something that sounds like an accident..? ]

[opheliac]

Jinx is being a pain on my rear end is what's happening!

(but then he recognizes the voice!)

Oh, it's you! You're the girl Jinx likes. You're just the person I need for this. I know this might be a bit scary... but I think having her see how you are feeling will get her to think twice about her actions.

Would you like to help me?

[tealeafs]

[ Chizuru absolutely does not recognize the voice - but it feels like one of those little things that doesn't really matter in the face of everything else that's going on here. Chizuru is still way too startled by everything else she's seeing to really mind whose voice this is.

What feels much more important is that she's being asked for help - which is something she can never ignore - and that she's still startled about what Jinx is doing. Is she affected by this place? Is that why she's suddenly being so aggressive..?

.. Chizuru doesn't know, but what she does know is-- ]

O-Of course!

[ --that she instantly wants to help, in any way she can. ]

What should I do? I just.. um.. I don't want her to do any of these things. It's not like how she seemed when she's spoken to me before at all..

[opheliac]

Jinx is... unwell. But we are trying to get the assistance we need. Sometimes when she gets angry, it escalates. Anyway, you don't have to do much! As long as she sees you.

(so with that, the feed wavers again of this spider monkey running up closer to jinx. the trenchies fled a little while ago and as for her, she spins her pistol with her index before re-hooking it back on her belt.)

You really done it this time, Jinx!

(she quirks an eyebrow down at her omen who plops himself there in a huff. and when he projects the image of chizuru for her, she can visually see jinx stiffens. her pinks lock to the other as she grows stone silent.)

Well? What do you have to say for yourself? You want to have friends, right? This is NOT how you make friends. Doing this will just make them scared and run away from you. And you want her to be your friend, don't you?

(all of these questions and jinx is still silent -- in fact, she'll even dart her gaze away from chizuru. is she feeling... guilt? ashamed? whose to say. but swallowing the lump that's suddenly lodged in her throat, the blue haired girl moves on forward pass her omen and continues on the strip.)

Walking away from this isn't going to make this go away! It may worked back at home but it's not going to work here!

(her monkey will sprint on after her.)

[ananym]

[ oh boy. ]

Jinx.

[opheliac]

(after a little bit of time has passed and still in her omen's POV (he is perched on her shoulder), she looks over with a grin.)

Yyyep, that's me! Say it louder so everyone can hear it in the back!!

[ananym]

Isn't this a bit much?

[opheliac]

Much? I let 'em off easy. — Look, I'm not even chasing 'em. I could but I won't.

(her omen is making a huffing sound of disapproval, though.)

[threelayers]

Oh man. You're going to get so many dogooders for this one.
I'm just going to call it right now.

[Nope, not saving the rando's ass. She had monsters to fight.]

Fun recommendation. Stick to scaring them.
Usually works in making a point, and folks don't cause you TOO much trouble after.
But I bet you know that.

[You are NOT helping the situation, Neo.]

[opheliac]

(sadly, she has to rely on her omen for communication since he took her omni away. who knows where but the reason is for this exact reason. because jinx continues to behave this way and its unacceptable. for her omen, anyway.

mr.bananas will translate what neo is telling her as she replies back in video. she will get a close up look on the side of jinx's face since her omen is perched on her shoulder. she is walking on as if what happened wasn't a big deal. the trenchies, who are left, are cowering as she moves on. will one be brave enough to take her on? whose to say.)

Whaddya talkin' about? That's exactly what I did.

[threelayers]

Hah, fair fair. You scared the ever loving piss out of this one.
Think of it more like me saying "Good job, keep it up."
I mean, it's not like you have to pull the trigger to get the point across.

And boy did you ever get it across.
I'll definitely remember not to pull your hair.

[opheliac]

My hair is my treasure. Never mess with it 'less I say so. That's the lesson here! SO!! How's your day goin', Silent Treatment?

[an an embedded video]

Not you, Mister Bananas. You're a delight and we're glad to have you.

[opheliac]

(mister bananas will translate this now things have calmed down somewhat.)

Hey, shaddup, you dumb bird...!

[dohaeris]

[another video.]

You've made it very clear. Perhaps you might consider visiting your bloody vengeance on the truly deserving next time? It would be an interesting change of pace.

[the_obedient_servant]

I'm confused. Did you kill him?

[opheliac]

Bzzzt, nope. He got away. Scurried away like a lil' mouse! But hey, so. Waaas it just me or did I just do a real big dance?

[the_obedient_servant]

You did.

Did you not notice?

[fogsong]

[ Sharon can only watch everything unfold in shocked confusion. It's clear Jinx has just shot a man for something inane but then she starts to sing. Sharon finds herself bobbing her head and singing along without even thinking about it.

When everything is said and done, Sharon finds herself mentally stumbling over the last few minutes. ]

Did you... [ Her brain is just Not Connecting ] You shot a man and then danced in the street, didn't you? That was fucked up, right?

[opheliac]

Yeah but it was pretty fun, too!!

(not for everyone else but who cares for the trenchies, right? what's important is her happiness during this whole thing.)

'Cuz it's do or die!

[fogsong]

You're like the main character in a musical. [ there's slight amusement in her tone ] Didn't quite expect you to be a singing and dancing kind of girl.
