video: un; makes.it.count [locked from Snow White]

[nothinglikea]

[Rose looks perturbed, chewing on her lower lip]

I...realize that we all have our concerns right now, but I was--well, I was hoping for assistance?

Valentine's Day is quickly approaching and I want to do something really special for Snow now that we're together. Something beyond the usual flowers and chocolates and cards, although she'll get all three from me.

But of course this depends on whatever we're being put through this month. I'd still like to find some way to make it special. [and her expression turns stern] And if The Doorway chooses to do something truly awful to us, I'll never forgive them!

[and back to smiling!]

In any case, I appreciate your assistance and your ideas most of all. Thank you.

cw: romanticizing murder

[manyone]

There is a bit more of a personal connection, yes!

Kihihi! A gun is just as good, though I've never used a grenade. I imagine the fear that comes with the anticipation is absolutely delicious.

[ Normal girls having a normal conversation. ]

[chessboardturn]

[ THAT'S HIS WIFE. ]

[manyone]

[ SHE LOVES YOU SO MUCH BATTLER. ♥ ]

[chessboardturn]

[ ALSO YOU USED SMALL BOMBS THOSE ARE LIKE GRENADES. ]

[manyone]

[ I'LL USE THE RED TRUTH! THERE WERE NO SMALL BOMBS USED TO KILL ANYONE ON ROKKENJIMA! WAHAHAHA! ]

cw: romanticizing murder

[opheliac]

Ooooh, no words can describe with how they look at me. You can just see their minds racing and obsessively asking themselves, "What did I do wrong? How did I get here? This can't be real!"

With each lil' beep, they sink deeper into fear and dread! — And they look at you for comfort or maybe even beg for you to make it stop. And then they have the nerve to try and worm their way outta of it by blabberin' out empty promises...!!

( judging by her tone, she is getting disgustingly excited over this. her thumb is ghostly hovering over to switch this voice call to video. because to find yet another person besides maul who relishes over something so lovely, the woman needs to know who she is and what she looks like. but not now, not yet. )

It's so funny, right? For 'em to think I'll fall for that.

cw: romanticizing murder

[manyone]

Yes! YES! Exactly! The way they look so horrified when they realize all their sins are finally catching up to them. The absolute shock that someone might make them pay for the things they've done wrong. They squirm and plead and whine and it's laughable. As if they can get away with it forever!

Even better is when the others find them and then it's all horrified questions.

"Oh nooo, how could this happen?"

"How did the murderer leave the room with the door locked?"

"Who could do this to my poor mother?"

[ Beatrice is full on cackling now, wracked with hideous laughter. ]

Kihihihi! As if they don't already know that they deserved it! Oh, you understand! You really do!

(1/2) cw: romanticizing murder

[opheliac]

( who... who is this woman? she spent her years in runeterra with no one to enjoy her twisted love of mayhem. it's just been her and her alone with no one to share it with. it's been so lonely, and hearing those around her back home how "she's gone too far" with her killings or explosions, it gets heartbreaking. even her rocket launcher, her death machine, fishbones scolded her how she should quit, become nicer, and be good for the community. )

( maul is great, but he tries to gear jinx into a slight path of good and remind her that destruction isn't everything. that friends and love ones are the most important thing. and she agrees with that, but... can't the two things both be important? would it be so bad to have them share the number one spot?

there's something unique about this woman -- enough to make her heart spark up with adrenaline. it's not love at first sight or attraction, definitely not. that is reserved for chizuru and her alone. but there's some sick twisted infatuation of ... maybe having a murder partner by her side. for someone to bounce ideas off of, to team up, and torture whoever person or beasts they come across. then after, crackle together while their prey suffer underneath their feet until their final breath or they've been obliterated.

hearing beatrice's laughter roaring and echoing through her omni, the pinks of jinx's eyes glisten and for a brief moment -- is in awe. this woman... she has to get acquaintanced; to be her friend and wishfully, her partner in chaos. )

(2/2) cw: romanticizing murder

[opheliac]

( and so finally, the voice call gets converted to VIDEO with a clear picture of this other girl. she is chewing her bottom lip with a wild gaze in her eyes -- quietly panting as she tries to keep herself together. )

... The name's Jinx. What's yours?

cw: romanticizing murder

[manyone]

[ A blonde woman looks back, eyes sparkling with delight and feverish excitement. ]

Beatrice.

[ Pronounced in the Italian fashion, with the 'cheh' sound at the end. ]

It's so delightful to meet you!

cw: two insane people talking, look away

[opheliac]

Oh, Squid buddy's wife! He told me about you. He said we might end up being the best of friends or killin' one another. ( a sly quirk of an eyebrow with a smirk. )

And gotta say, either options sounded great to me.

cw: don't worry this is normal you are safe here absolutely normal girls

[manyone]

Squid buddy? Huhuhu. Is that Battler? Yes, he's my lovely husband. Ah, he's such a good guy...

[ Let her be sappy for a minute here. ]

Heh. I certainly don't mind being your friend, Jinx.

But if I need to I'll definitely kill you~! Just remember that!

cw: i stand correct. yes this is normal

[opheliac]

( she is practically wiggling in her seat as her face darkens. and her tongue overlapping her canine tooth then a click sound after. )

Great! — We're friends then. And don't worry, I'm not expectin' anything less.

( she leans into her omni; another a haunting shine of her pinks -- a sinister smile to follow. )

As long as you don't mess with any of my things, your vocal chords will stay intact. That laughter of yours was beautiful. It would reeeaaally suck if THAT goes kaboomie.

cw: threatened eye injury/torture

[manyone]

Perfect!

[ Beatrice laughs again at that and her grins grows, spreading and spreading until it seems as if it couldn't possibly fit on a human face. ]

You just remember not to mess with any of mine or those pretty little eyes of yours might just need some special attention.

[ Her eyes narrow. ]

Battler Ushiromiya is mine. Ange Ushiromiya-Rose is mine. Just to be absolutely sure that we understand one another, my dear new friend.

cw: more eye talk and shooting... rose player im sorry for this mess.

[opheliac]

It's a good thing I'm not squeamish! I use to give my old man his medicine by pokin' his needle injector through his eye. Twice a day when needed, says the doc.

( and as the woman's eyes narrow, her smile stays in place and tight. she hums over her words while taking a slight lean back from the camera. )

Short list, I like it...! I thought you were gonna toss me somethin' long and I thought was gonna — ( she forms her hand into a gun then points it to her temple. jinx pretends to shoot herself by doing a dramatic effect of her tilting her head to the side and her tongue sticking out. but then quickly after that, she perks up with a smile. ) — ya know?

Aaaannywaay, I got a few. Some friends, some pets. Better write it down 'cuz I'm only gonna say 'em once! I got three pet bunnies: Usagi, Chizuru, and Vi. A bestie, Sharon. Viktor, a guy from home. Ekko and — ( exaggerated posh accent. ) "Caitlyn Kiramman". ( then drops it.) Only I'm allowed to kill those two. Saw 'em first. Chloe and I guess tossin' Sansa in the mix. Vi will get huffy I don't put her on the list.

( funny how she is the one with the long list. )

I got a few more but I've seen 'em in action.

Re: cw: more eye talk and shooting... rose player im sorry for this mess.

[manyone]

Ooh, that's quite the list--which reminds me I have another name to add to mine. Venus. Or Vesper as she's going by currently. Do leave her alone, will you? And I suppose Ruby Rose-Ushiromiya.

[ A slender finger taps at her chin. ]

Oooh! I know Viktor. He's quite a smart fellow. I like him! And Vi! I met her! I was rude to dear Sansa once and she got mad at me. I like her, too~.

cw: them

[opheliac]

( venus/vesper, check. she doesn't know her personally so it's whatever. but there's a record scratch when she says the next name: )

Wait, hold on. I can't mess with Pedals?! — Oh, c'mon!! She and I were gonna have a big thing if our girls allowed us to tear each other apart.

cw: besties

[manyone]

I mean if you both agree to mess with each other than I won't stop you. I just mean if it's one-sided.

Of course, Ange can take care of herself. Usually.

cw: besties. even matching icons. look at that.

[opheliac]

Okay, cool, great! My big sis can take care of herself, too.

She and I made a deal to not get involved in each other's fights 'less we're really losing.

[manyone]

A good policy, honestly. More people should be able to handle themselves in my opinion.

[opheliac]

Yeah! This place gets pretty whacko, pretty fast! Gotta be ready for anything and everything.

[manyone]

It's refreshing, after so long without much change in my life.

[opheliac]

What kind of life didya had then?

[manyone]

I waited once, for a thousand years. I played a little game of murder and mysteries after that, over and over, trying to drive a point home to some dense boy's head.

[ She laughs. ]

It worked. Eventually.

[opheliac]

Thousand years... ( she lets that linger for a bit. ) — So you're not a mortal? Immortal? Demon? Magical Mage? How far from the target, am I?

( and to play a murder game over and over sounds pretty intriguing to her. if anything, it's a little more up her alley as long as she's the one getting away with it. )
