[ now settling back at the table, she picks the ketchup first and pours a small pool of it on the corner of her plate, then sprinkles it over her scrambled eggs (ew?). his daughter does the same with the mustard and mixed the two sauces into one big weird mess before finally returning to her poor neglected sausages. ]

What makes you think that?

[ she asks, attempting to keep the conversation light, mature, and civil. how long it'll stay that way is up to debate as she takes a bite of her meal again. ]

[ jinx is rather grateful that there's still so much leftover in her plate to consume, because she is definitely using it to her advantage to stretch out her quiet. but of course, that can only work but for so long, so when her mouth is no longer full, she says slowly with her gaze fixating on her grapes. ]

... I've been trying to find someone who can help me with my nightmares. You like sleeping in your chair. Or used to, I guess. And Fishbones tried finding me a "cuddle buddy" or whatever he called it through the network, and... got no bites.

[ a beat, picking up her toast to combine it with her eggs — similar to what her father did earlier. ]

He offered.

I... well, there was that one time I dragged you to sleep with me, but you didn't seem to like it a whole lot, so...

[ she works her lips again, trying to shrug the whole thing off as if it's a no big deal, but her tone makes her words sound the opposite. ]

... He's just helping me get more sleep, that's all.

[ and suddenly, her appetite plummets, and she scoots her meal and cup so far away from her that it's almost clanking with his own dish. jinx frowns intensely over his words, and her eyes narrow only slightly with her voice raising, but not enough to show real anger yet. ]

It's not hypocritical. I've told you that we've kissed, I've told you I feel... something with him, and I meant when I said that I don't want to be more with him.

[ his daughter sags in her chair too with her arms folding over her chest. ]

I've been honest this whole time with you. — You're the one who isn't telling me who your secret lover is, and you don't see me making a big stink about it. But I'm PRETTY sure I know who it is, anyway. Or maybe I don't. Maybe I'm way off mark. But I got my own suspicions.

[ she sighs a little, then tries again. ]

Is there something you want to know more about? Just ask, and I'll tell you.

From: [personal profile] opheliac
[ so it appears the two of them suddenly got thrown into an early morning game of chess. something she wasn't mentally prepared for, but her father already made his first chess piece move. the bluenette sinks further in her chair to really give off the bratty teenager energy, and the urge to kick the table leg to emphasize her tantrum is surfacing. but instead, she throws her arms up in the air to animate her claim. ]

I'm trying to fix that, okay?! Anyway, you should be freaking thrilled that I haven't really seen Vi since the whole infection thing. I can't even remember the last time she and I did anything together. That's winning for you, isn't it?

[ she takes a second to breathe and keep her mind clear and emotions leveled before she continues. ]

I want to tell you things, Silco, but you get so quick to... wanting to stab people or get "rid" of them, when I don't want you to. Sometimes, I just want you to listen and not always take care of things in that way.

And besides, Ekko is a fucking idiot if he thinks I'm going to let him burn all you've done, because that means burning the INX's cause too.

[ okay, that's two moves and she still has one more to make. ]

And by the way, if it's not — [ cue an immature and mocking tone: ] — emmotioonallll, and if it's who I'm suspecting, then why are you helping him in his cause when he's just copying mine? If it's purely just sex, he wouldn't have such a deep understanding with you.

Vi already believes what I'm doing is stupid and I can't do it. And seeing you helping him out hurts, too, you know.

opheliac: ✖ malagraphic (still speculating)
From: [personal profile] opheliac
[ she can't tell if she is making the right calls here or if she is causing any critical hits in this debate, but all she knows is right now is her emotions are burning behind her rib cage, and her voice is quivering as she struggles to keep it all neatly stacked in a bottle. ]

Ekko is crazy about me. I-I can make him stop, or quit if I make some sort of ultimatum. He's all about second chances, and not letting the past haunt us and crap. If he's threatening you, then that goes against what he's preaching about. So just... let me handle him, okay?

[ she can only hope coming up with something like that will prevent any more bloodshed between all the people in her circle. but regardless of voicing that option, it still doesn't settle her trembling tone. in fact, she forces out a chuckle that's coated with bitterness and no humor. ]

Eh, heh heh. Of course, business! [ she throws her arms up again in such a dramatic way. ] It's always about business. Who cares if he calls your daughter weak as long as business is involved!

You know, everything I've learned was from you. For him to say that is practically saying you didn't raise me strong. He's insulting you and you're doing business with him and have an understanding with him.

Why aren't you pissed? Is your connection with him that close? — Just freaking admit it already that it's him, Silco.

From: [personal profile] opheliac
Well, he's not going to continue. I'll talk with him the next time I see him.

[ which may be later today or later tonight. in which, she still hasn't fully addressed why her current attire. although she hadn't admitted it yet, she is thankful that everything else they're discussing hadn't made it back around that topic. but she isn't counting herself out of the woods yet. growing tired of slouching in her seat, his daughter shifts and sits more up right, arms folding on the counter top. ]

Ugh, it's SUPER simple. If it's someone that I like or my things, don't mess with them. If it's someone who is against me, kill them. Stab them, rip their guts out, torture them, feed them to the wolves, keep their eyes as souvenirs, whatever!

Look, it's either him or Miller. But I don't think it's the Chief, 'cause he would have told me by now even if you wouldn't. — 'Sides, I like Miller, so I wouldn't care if the two of you are boning. But whatever, fine. Don't tell me then, even if it's sooooo obvious and the probability is pointing more towards him than anyone else here I can think of.

[ she scoffs as she reaches forward to yank her platter brutally back her way to resume eating. ]

And don't worry, I won't — [ again, mockingly in a baby voice: ] — rip hish thongue outh and feed ith bacw tho him.

Nothing stays dead here, so it'll just be a waste of my freaking time.

[ jinx shoves the toast in her mouth and aggressively chews, her eyes down to her dish now as she grumbles. ]

Screw him, love him, marry him, let him take all your money, do whatever you want. Just know he will never be anything to me, and I'll never accept him as my family. So you can just forget it.

[ his daughter bites on the inside of her cheek as he speaks, halting in her eating once more as she soaks all of his words in like a sponge. this game of chess is really being weighed more on his side than hers, or at least, that's how this is feeling, and she continues to keep her head hanging low as she listens.

but after a little while, her shoulders seem to tremble, almost appearing maybe she could be either so enraged that she's shaking or so upset that she's sobbing. except it's neither of those. actually, jinx finds herself chuckling, and her laughter seems to grow louder by the millisecond. this is a highly inappropriate time to laugh, but jinx tends to cackle at very odd times. she could get kicked and stomped on by many, and she'll still somehow laugh through it all. ]

From: [personal profile] opheliac
— Yeah, I do think that. And you wanna know why?

[ when she lifts her head to meet her father's gaze, there's a wild look in her eyes — her pinks glistening in exhilaration with a wide smile that could split her face into two. ]

Fine, I'll come clean. I slept with him, and I marked him. He is one of my pets, but he's the only one out of the bunch I'm fooling around with. But that's not all what it means...

[ nudging the plate aside, his daughter mounts onto the table and steadily crawls closer to her father so she can really lock heavily into his mix-match ones, with her deranged smile not once faltering. ]

It also means that he is mine to hurt, and the way he wears fear still looks so beautiful to me. And now that I know he threatened you, I can see it again. I can peck at his wings and claw him until he squirms. And I can tell him if he ever does anything to you, I'll rip his shell into so many pieces that his light will go out.

[ biting her lower lip to keep herself from daydreaming over it, she cocks her head to one side. ]

What about you, hmm? Would you hurt them for insulting me? If they threatened me? Teach them a lesson? — Or would you let them get away with it, because they have a hold of you?

opheliac: ✖ opheliac; waifu_lab (crazy)
From: [personal profile] opheliac
[ it feels like her heart is about to implode within her chest, and she should feel anxious about it, but there's something so titillating at the thought of her center pulsing so fast that she could perish at any second. because in her eyes, the heart is practically a human bomb, how it will forever beep and tick through its countdown until either something unexpected happens or the body grows too old to keep it going. and the boy savior gives her that stimulation whether he is aware of it or not.

he may spit out all of that romance nonsense on her, but with her being a raven and him an insect, it's pure nature to sink into their instincts. and whether to pin him to the wall to ravish him or to annihilate him had been a real turmoil for her since his arrival, so she had decided to intertwine the two wants recently. sure, things have been sweet, but now that she taught ekko the ropes, she can really sink her beak and claws into him. something she couldn't do with quentin because the history of cat and mouse wasn't there between them. ]


[ the madness steadily roars within her and with his hand cupping at the side of her cheek, she nuzzles more to it like a kitten wanting all the affection from its owner. jinx doesn't answer to any of his questions right away, however, she permits herself to get tow off the table with great ease and into his lap. with them now close, her eyes glow like a naive dreamer, and her smile becomes more unbalanced. ]

It'll last for as long as I say so. He's Jinxed now, and there's no cure unless I make it go away. So it's okay if I hurt him now and then. That's our bond since forever!

[ his daughter place her palm flat on his chest, growing excited over the fact that he will hurt his lover just like she would. that he is still a monster just like her, that hadn't changed. ]

Will you do it now? Will you hurt them? Even if it's not him, will you hurt him just a little anyway?

From: [personal profile] opheliac
[ regardless of her father's view on the matter between her and ekko, jinx is too lost in the fog to really dispute it. at least, not severely. her hand still presses smoothly against his chest, while her pinks persist to burn along with the ashes raining from the blood orange sky. ]

But you and I are forever. ...You're "Jinxed" too, you know? — And you're SUPER special. With you, if I can't have you, then no one can.

[ the unrestrained expression finally melts somewhat, and she squeezes the fabric of his clothing in desperation to keep her father right where he is, and for him to not move a single muscle. her gaze dips down away from his, becoming visually in distress as she attempts to calm her breathing while her eyes frantically looks over his attire. ]

I-I... I'm supposed to make sure everyone around you is okay... a-and good for you. And for me. Good for the both of us.

[ his daughter chuckles weakly, and she tries to bring her smile back, but it's not as strong, and it's dreadfully teetering in all sorts of ways. and when she speaks again, it's in mutters, like a director going over the script they've written, but somehow something went horribly wrong during the production. ]

When someone is bad for you, they're not supposed to be around you or... here. They have to leave. They have to go away. T-That—That's how ALL of this is supposed to go.

From: [personal profile] opheliac
[ but the subject of inflecting pain on others does keep her from spiking to the extreme level of anxiety, and she instantly glances over her shoulder when he questions what kind of pain would fulfill her. his daughter stretches over to the table the best way she can, and without removing herself from his lap, straining herself until her fingers finally touches a certain silverware from her forgotten meal.

when she settles and faces her father again, in her hand is a knife, and she takes a hold of silco's hand to force him to hold it along with her. the craze yet eerily devoted smile plasters across her freckled face again, and she caresses her cheek against his knuckles, her own, and the sterling silver. ]


The kind of pain you're best at. ... Use your silver friend.

[ she coos sweetly as she screws her eyes shut to soak in her pipe dream again. ]

— I can't hurt him on my own, my flock will get mad. But you can. You can hurt him... for what he said to me. I'll hurt Ekko for threatening you, if you hurt him for calling me...

[ jinx pauses, tightening her grip over silco's. ]

I'm not fake. And I'm not vulnerable or replaceable.

[granted, richard didn't say that, but sevika's words do haunt her from time to time. especially if she were here to witness all of this, she would have a field day over the fact silco has a lover, and possibly hoping her boss will finally toss jinx out of his and her life. and it's a blessing she isn't here. ]

[ she opens her eyes again, but only half-lidded, and she delicately releases her clasp on her father's grip as she drops her head against his chest. his daughter knows his words are true, and she should really have more faith that his lover won't just elbow her in the stomach and have her on the background.

but the green-eyed monster and her anxiety continues to cloud her vision, and it's hard to contain it when she feels she lost this exact battle with her sister. ]


... Because we made an alliance. It was two against one at the voting. — And I want to make my people happy and give them what they want. They deserve it, ya know? ... I want to give them everything.

Fanny.

[ — although, the moment the nickname slips pass her lips, jinx realizes that it probably won't be of any help to silco on who she is referring to. ]

Er, Fandaniel. You met him yet? He talks super funny, and I don't get what he says half of the time. Fancy babbling makes my ears bleed.
