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

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.)

[ Chizuru nods, shooting the other a small smile and a quick 'thanks' before she's already taking the knife to the apple, with the ease of someone who has clearly done this many times before.

(You don't cook food for a hunderd men without getting good at it, after all.)

She cuts into the apple with the knife, cutting out a part, partially peeling it--

And then she holds out an apple bunny towards Jinx. ]

There, that's an apple bunny! Isn't it super cute..?

[ Look at that wide smile on Chizuru's face. She looks so proud of her little apple bunny. ]

You can have this one!

( she observes her cutting very carefully and honestly, pretty amused how well she is holding the knife. they did spoke before how she is a cook and was good enough to almost winning a contest. so maybe it's not too much of a surprise. although, jinx can't help but to wonder if chizuru knows how to use one as self-defense, too. it's something she would really hoped so. if not, maybe jinx can give her a few lessons.

after all, it'd be a little impossible to always be there for the other girl if she is in danger. chizuru should be able to know how to hold her own for a little while until she can swoop in and save her from any harm. jinx won't think much of it but tonight for sure, she will wonder back on this as to why so suddenly she wants to protect chizuru so bad. why is she taking such a strong liking to this girl? it's so weird.

anyway.

when the apple bunny is finish, she takes the one offered for a closer look of the craftsmanship. it really is cute. )

Heh, yeah it is!

( and without any remorse, she pops the fruit into her mouth -- crunching and munching happily with satisfaction. )

Edited 2022-11-26 22:13 (UTC)

[ Thankfully Chizuru comes from a place where not wasting food is just important enough that she doesn't really mind her creation being devoured so easily - it's its intended purpose when it comes down to it, after all.

So when Jinx is chewing on it like that, Chizuru just smiles over at the other, a bit of excitement and - perhaps even - hope in her eyes as she looks at the other. ]

Do you like it?

[ She seems so.. expectant..

Even though, you know, it's still just a normal apple part. It's not like carving it into a bunny changes the shape or anything. But Chizuru seems so eager to get a compliment fron Jinx. Her absolute full attention is turned towards the other. ]

( as she chews, jinx hums a "Mmhm" until her mouth is no longer full. and once it's gone, there's a light shoulder bump with hers with a quirk of an eyebrow. )

Especially if it's from you.

( a teasing wink her way as she moves on ahead with her fingers clash behind her head. )

I'm on my way to the canals. You comin' with? — You should probably stay close. My sis says this place gotta a high level of thieves around.

[ Chizuru seems glad with the answer - though just knowing that Jinx liked it in general would have been enough! The added side to it of it being because it's coming from her makes Chizuru a little bit more shy, though she doesn't audibly fluster this time. Instead it's visible in the way she ducks her head for a moment, a faint paleblood blush showing up on her cheeks.

Though she immediately looks back up the moment the other continues, glancing back over at Jinx. ]

Oh.. sure!

[ It's not like she's going to let Jinx run off alone, after all. Even though the other seems to be doing a little better now, maybe Jinx could still use the company?

And it's sure not like Chizuru minds accompanying her at all. ]

I know nothing will happen to me as long as you're around, miss Jinx. [ It sounds like she believes that so sincerely too, judging by the tone she says it with. ] So I'm not worried.

( there's a pause in her next step. maybe she is doing so to give a chance for chizuru to catch up to her. at least, that is the illusion as to why she stopped going on forward. the truth of the matter is, hearing "i know nothing will happen to me as long as you're around" is so foreign. is it possible to jumble up words together like that and form them into a sentence? it has to be going against the natural of languages, right?

'every time she comes something goes wrong...'
'she's a problem, we all know it.'

her jaw clenches as she ignores the whispers buzzing in her ear. it's something she doesn't want chizuru to witness -- that the dead claws on her back and stick to her like glue. if she knew, she'd look at her funny and see her as a freak. despite her muscles tensing, jinx looks over to the other girl with a tiny smile. )

You're with the best shot around. Ya can't go wrong with that.

( and finally, she walks again. )

The canals are pretty lookin' at night. It's why I wanna go there, in case you're wondering.

[ When the other starts walking again, Chizuru easily falls in step with her, walking right there at Jinx' side. She's not even paying too much attention to their surroundings - like Jinx seems so impressive to her that she figures the other will spot something way before Chizuru herself would have the ability to do so.

Instead her attention seems entirely turned towards the other girl here.

.. though not enough to notice that Jinx may be hiding something behind that smile. Chizuru is just going off appearances here - and those appearances just make her easily smile at the other. ]

Are they? I'd love to see it too then! [ There's some genuine excitement in her voice, like little sparkles at the edge of her tone. ] Do you like looking at pretty things?

[ Hey, it never hurts to learn a little bit more about the other. Chizuru would like to do so. ]

Yeah. ( and at first, that seems to be all she'll say about the matter. but then at the last second, decides to add: ) I use to live underground practically. We had bright neon lights and all for club nights, but ... out here is a lil' different.

There's lights too but with the moon and the open air, it's... refreshing. I dunno if I'll ever get sick of it.

.. what's it like, living underground?

[ Chizuru keeps her voice light as she asks it. She can tell that Jinx maybe didn't really like it - if her fondness for the lights here and the other things she describes is any indication, anyway - but it's almost like she's purposefully using that tone to try and see if the other has anything positive to say about living that way at all.

It's not like the girl can imagine it herself at all. After all-- ]

Places like that didn't exist where I come from. [ Living underground? Sometimes it was already hard enough to just live on the surface.. ] How do you even get down there?

It was cold and wet sometimes! ( she says with cheer tone. ) Pipes creakin' all hours of the day, people robbin' each other and fighting off the weak ones, blankets with holes in 'em, and rats that bite at your toes if you didn't feed 'em.

The food you gotta watch out for. You don't wanna eat mold on accident so you gotta learn how to pick off. Rotten food you can still kinda eat if you work around it.

( what a beautiful city she is describing.) And the way you get down to Zaun is by an elevator.

[ Yeah, that description isn't exactly.. great.

On the other hand, considering the kind of place and time Chizuru comes from, that description doesn't sound too strange to her. Sure, it's a little worse than the usual, but not by too much, especially when you consider the worse neighbourhoods of Kyoto..

It might be the main reason why the girl doesn't seem to comment on any of that, but instead just asks: ]

What's an elevator?

[ If it were anyone else, one might think she was trying to play a prank on Jinx. But no - this question sounds so genuine, like Chizuru just has no idea. ]

( she has to be joshing her with that question, right? although from what she know of chizuru, she doesn't seem like the type to do practical jokes. and after all, the sleepers are all from different places. so. )

It's like a box that's big enough for everyone to stand in. Uh...

( jinx stops to take a moment to look around until she spots a building. ) Ah! — ( she points with her index at the structure a few steps away from them. ) Ya see that building?

You'd think the only way up to the top is climb up some stairs, right? Well with an elevator, you don't gotta do that. You step in the box, pull a lever, and it moves up to the top. And it works the same way goin' down.

Edited 2022-12-06 23:40 (UTC)

.. how amazing.. A box that can move people that far up all by itself..

[ Her voice makes it very clear that she is genuinely amazed by the idea. And why wouldn't she be? Considering the level of technology where Chizuru comes from - or rather, the near-total lack of it - this sort of thing basically sounds like magic to her.

A magical people transporting box. ]

No wonder that you're so good at making things too! [ Hey, Chizuru remembers the other telling her that. She's made sure to remember it. ] It sounds like people can make some truly wonderful things where you come from..!

[ She may be imagining some sort of country filled with genius inventors now. ]

The City of Iron and Glass. THAT'S US...!! ( despite zaun's rough edges and horrible living, she still loves her people through and through. and it's a shame not a lot of them are here with her.

would trench be too rough for a few of them? possibly. but zaunities are strong with thick skins. they can stand up and fight it through. )

A lotta people from home can make stuff. But I'm one of the best ones. — Maybe I oughta make you a necklace sometime. Or a doll.

[ Chizuru doesn't seem to doubt Jinx's claim for a moment there - even though most people might wonder whether or not that sort of title for herself isn't a little bit exaggerated.

But Chizuru? She's honest enough to believe it, especially with everything else Jinx has said so far. It's not the first time she's claimed she's good at that sort of thing, after all. ]

A necklace? Can you even make that?

[ See, this is clearly just more proof of Jinx's amazing capabilities. ]

I've never had a necklace before.. [ The sort of statement that perhaps ought to be a little sad, but Chizuru doesn't say it with that sort of tone. If anything, there's mostly still awe lingering in it over Jinx's self-proclaimed reputation. ]

( the two of them finally make it to the canals but jinx comes into a stop with a light eyebrow quirk; puzzled. to hear she had never had jewelry is only slightly strange. maybe chizuru was brought up similar to her -- that fancy living was only for the people who were lucky in life. but how long had the girl been here in trench? she definitely has some friends so assumingly, they would had given her gifts, right? )

( but there is no reason for the other girl to lie over something like this. and instead of feeling sorrow, this only brings a smile to jinx's face. it just means she will be the first person to offer her something no one has done before. and jinx is all about becoming first.)

Then I'll make you one! — It'll be the first thing once I get everythin' together.

( walking again, the blue haired girl skips then hops onto the brick sill. she plants a seat as they now get a view down to the water and the boats -- the locals murmuring softly to one another and hopping on and out of sails.

but her main attention isn't down below but at the skies. it's definitely setting into night hours and the skies are twisting into all sorts of different colors up above.)

[ She follows - almost like an obedient little duckling who just imprinted on someone, really. When Jinx moves to sit up there, Chizuru pulls herself up as well just to be able to sit there next to her.

(Maybe she just wants to stick close to the other for now. Because they're spending time together, yes, but.. also because apparently something upset the other enough to have been in the state she was in when her Omen posted that video on the network, and that means Chizuru wants to stick close to her, just to keep an eye on her - just to make sure she's okay.)

At first she's quiet for a moment even after she's sitting. Jinx may be looking up, but Chizuru is just looking sideways, over at Jinx while the other is starting to look at the sky.

An unsurprising thing, if she really is from some underground city. It must be new for her. ]

.. thank you.

[ She then finally says - like a way belated reaction to Jinx's own words. ]

It's very kind of you to want to make me one! Especially since I'm not sure what I have to repay you with..

You don't gotta.

( she says this simply and again, shows how quick the other seem to slip through the cracks of her walls. jinx never passes up an offer of trade but with her? she wants nothing from. well, not materialistic wise, anyway. )

... It's a gift. From me to you.

( she looks over with a grin and then a very light shoulder bump with her own. )

Sittin' here with me is enough.

[ Chizuru ducks her head a little, but it's mostly since she's feeling shy - as evidenced by the fact she lets out a soft, yet genuine giggle. ]

That sure is a low price.

[ Honestly, she isn't too sure why Jinx wants to gift it to her. She'd usually protest that, wanting people to be fairly compensated, but.. on the other hand, it'd be rude to dismiss a gift, right?

Even if Jinx already did so much for her today, just by calming down from what came over her earlier.

There's a tiny pause between the last statement and the next one, but then Chizuru dares to glance to the side at Jinx as she adds: ]

.. Thank you for listening to me today. That feels like the bigger gift to me.

It's hard not to listen to a cute voice. ( ah, there she goes again with the tease. ) But... you're welcome.

( a beat. )

Back in the woods when I said I'd keep you safe. ... I meant it. From here on out, I'll protect you. Just scream my name and I'll come in blastin'.

[ It seems like the tease goes ignored this time - but maybe it's just because of what Jinx says right after, since that somehow manages to be even more powerful.

It's tempting to ask 'really?', because the thought of anyone doing that for her is so wild, but it's not like the girl wants to question the other's good intentions. It'd be rude.

So.. ]

Are you sure that's really okay to do whenever..? I mean, if you ever start to feel like you might mind having to do that.. you can just tell me, and then I'd try to do my best by myself.

Definitely sure. Look, I'm the most lethal person around this joint and protection under me is a guaranteed worry-free. ( well, there's also her curse of bad things happening to those who she wishes to protect/care for, too. her name isn't jinx for nothing. )

— 'Sides since kickin' around Trenchers is a no-go, I gotta blow up something! So why not use the ones who hurt you as my target practice?

Edited 2022-12-20 21:32 (UTC)

[ It's tempting to say that she shouldn't blow up even those people.

.. on the other hand, while Chizuru really dislikes the idea of anyone dying for her, or because of her.. if some bad guys here would be willing to hurt her, they might be willing to hurt others too. In which case Jinx would be helping to make this place a little bit safer - just like the men of the Shinsengumi did back home, no matter how brutal their methods sometimes.

Maybe she just has to think of it like that.

So after a moment of quiet thought, Chizuru leans sideways, her head against the other girl's shoulder just slightly. ]

.. thank you.

[ Even if it's brutal - Jinx would be doing it for her.

It's only proper to thank her. ]

I'll make sure to try and worry a little bit less then. Since you'll be there to protect me from anything dangerous here.

( so the thing jinx didn't expect is a head lean against her shoulder. sure, she is no stranger to it -- vi does this and vice versa with her. but chizuru is the very first person to be this close (without fear) in this sort of way beyond family. her body stiffen as her thoughts fly by in hyper speed. right, right! so... she should stay put, right? and what does she do with her hands? what if she gets an itch on her nose?

funny how the day is slowly dimming down to nightfall because her eyes will definitely guide them the way in the dark with the way they're shining. thankfully, chizuru speaks more to bring her back to the reality of things.)

Edited 2022-12-23 21:53 (UTC)

( ... well, her words brings her mind to a slower motion. and without thinking or realizing, she cautiously tilts her head -- gently resting on top of hers. her face is still fire-y red but this is the right move to do... right? )

Y-Yeah, uh. Ahem... Don't sweat it.

( who knew this would be a nice way to end the day? maybe this is a little better than shooting down some rando or stealing whatever scrap she can find from others. it certainly feels better. )
