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

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. ]
no subject
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.
no subject
[ 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. ]
no subject
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.
no subject
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. ]
no subject
( 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.)
no subject
(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..
no subject
( 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.
no subject
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.
no subject
( 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'.
no subject
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.
no subject
— '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?
no subject
.. 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.
1/2
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.)
2/2
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. )
