opheliac: ✖ malagraphic (This a suicide mission)
From: [personal profile] opheliac
Nope! I haven't seen that giant forehead in months. [a light pause, tapping her chin with the color pencil tip.] Wonder if it's still out there... all shiny and bulbous.

[but quickly, jinx tries to keep her mind on track and proceeds to sketch out the best route to take between the two locations.]

But nah, it's a test set by my people, The INX. Or... well. Not Fanny or Chuck, but the other members. One of them is really sick, and the medicine around here isn't doing it for him. With it getting colder, Honey fruit is getting harder to come by. At least up here.

[his daughter, then again, points to the oasis with her color pencil.]

But down here, the temperature should be a little warmer, and they've told me, the stuff grows there too.

None of the nobodies like us, and the same goes for my members. They're having second thoughts, and they don't think what I'm doing will, y'know, change anything.

[there's a small hint of ache in her tone as she elaborates. because the last thing she wants is to have more people believing she doesn't know what she's doing (even though that's true), and she is just wasting everyone's time.]

BUT! If I go out there, gather all the honey fruit that I can, then come back... that will show them they can trust me, and I will make this a better place for all of us. For them, too. ... Even if they're not completely real.

opheliac: ✖ malagraphic (to the edge now)
From: [personal profile] opheliac
They're all I have.

[she states, voice cracking just a touch as she finishes the last bit of her doodling.]

— You've heard what everyone said. That I might be no better than the Council, the AI, or... whoever is doing all of this crap, I've lost track.

[setting the pencil down, his daughter straightens her spine but not without wrapping her arms around her front — her fingers curling tightly on the material of the coat.]

All I want is for you, me, Vi, and everyone else I give a rat's ass about to have independence. We should be living how we want to without this stupid sentencing stuff that doesn't do anything but give all of us a migraine. And all of these, I dunno, weird happenings are only making us... lose trust in each other. And ruin relationships.

Everyone wants it to stop, but no one is doing anything about it. — And if I'm going to be here, and this is going to be my home for good, then I'm going to shape it the way it's better for me, and for all of us. ... If I got to start a war again just so we can have peace, then... I'll do it here, too.

[a pause.]

I promised Ekko I wouldn't do that, but... maybe I can pull it off without anyone getting hurt. So I got to do this, and doing this alone might send a better message. I think.

opheliac: ✖ malagraphic (I'm uncontainable)
From: [personal profile] opheliac
[as her father questions her (and it's a legitimately good question), jinx rolls up her blueprint of the map, then fishes for her hair tie in ekko's coat — sealing it tight.]

It'll show I'm good for it, and I'm not thinking only about myself. [a beat.] That's how Ange sees me right now, and who knows how many else believe the same thing.

[she sighs and tosses herself onto the couch while setting the document by her feet for now.]

Normally, I wouldn't care, but!! — I gotta care a little for this to work. Helping the nobodies will show I will help everyone, not just... us. No one is too big or too small for Jinx unless you're an Enforcer. And I have no idea who this Ethlyn person is.

opheliac: ✖ malagraphic (that was smiling when I turned)
From: [personal profile] opheliac
[his daughter puckers her lips together, and shifts in her position to lounge more onto the couch, with her legs propping over her father's lap once he's settled. she tosses her head back dramatically over the arm rest before lifting an arm up — her fingers forming into a shape of a gun, with her index and middle aiming to their ceiling.]

Alriiiiiight, alright, I get the picture. You think all of this dumb and a waste of my time. — So how about we make a deal, huh?

[to be a little obnoxious, she hoists her foot high enough to be in his vision then wiggles her toes lightheartedly.]

opheliac: ✖ malagraphic (Surprised you to find that im laughing)
From: [personal profile] opheliac
[she lowers her foot back down onto his lap, and she resumes to shoot imaginary targets on their ceiling.]

I'll meet up with whatever her name is, and see if she can help. If she can't and I don't find her, then I'm going back to my plan A.

[for theatrical effect, his daughter swings her gunfire arm to point out the window, mouthing out "pew" before she reopens this "bargain" of hers.]

And! — I'll bring someone with me for the ride. How's that? Am I great or what?

From: [personal profile] opheliac
Okey-dokey, I'll bring along a nincompoop.

[and with that, she folds her arms behind her head to use as her personal pillow, then screws her eyes shut to relax just for a little while longer.]

I'm leaving first thing in the morning, so you have me all to yourself tonight. Talk about lucky, huh?

opheliac: ✖ malagraphic (Your dark desires in your thoughts)
From: [personal profile] opheliac
Nope, I haven't had a bite to eat since breakfast. [which she knows isn't necessarily ideal, and she is avoiding her father's eye (if he's looking at her) just to hide that fact.] — I've, uh, been swamped and I just... sorta forgot about lunch.

[between checking on her café, cleaning the treehouse, ekko's former apartment, and conversing with her INX at the docks, time definitely got away from her somehow. her load could definitely be less on her shoulders if she would just confront quentin, and hand him over the keys to the treehouse. but... that's a part of her life she isn't fully ready to face yet.]

opheliac: ✖ malagraphic (Rival the drugs we dare)
From: [personal profile] opheliac
I'll do that in the morning, but I could eat!

[her response is more telling if anyone can read between the lines. she hadn't eaten since breakfast, which means, any normal person would be starving by this hour. but the fact she stated she could eat indicates the lack of appetite. and despite being in aldrip for over a year, jinx had always displayed enthusiasm over food. his daughter is still expressing it now, but there's something missing in her joyful statement. concealed stress? concerns? sadness? anger?

nevertheless, the bluenette swings her legs off her father's lap and bounces to her feet, her arms stretching outward over her head to pull any hidden tight tissues.]

From: [personal profile] opheliac
A genius' work is never done, and they never rest! The juices pump, and pump, and pump.

[jinx paces behind him and wastes no time at all to take her usual seat at the table. it's then she remembers her abandon mug in the other room, but she mentally shrugs it off. the tea will get cold and old, but it's not too much of a major problem. besides, she is craving for something that contains way more sugar than tea.]

I don't care, just whatever we got is good enough for me, Pops. Show me what ya got!

opheliac: ✖ malagraphic ('cause we at ya throat)
From: [personal profile] opheliac
Okay, you got me. Some of my projects in the past I've abandoned, because the inspiration just wasn't there. Defused before it got off the ground. Poor Mister Ticks, he gave it his best shot.

[she swings her legs underneath the table, and watched his father stir around their kitchen with innocent curiosity.]

Yeah, but hold the alcohol. I gotta stay sharp in the morning. What about you? You're eating too, right?

opheliac: ✖ malagraphic (If you gonna tou-touch me)
From: [personal profile] opheliac
[she lets out an overly dramatic sigh, which can easily pass off as her not being entirely serious of what she is about to say next. or maybe there is a bit of truth, but it's being fluffed up with humor.]

Sheesh, is there any way I can fatten you up? I've tried literally EVERYTHING there is, and you're just not budging.

[jinx stretches over for the juice to casually take a sip, humming sweetly over the taste and the coolness trickling down her throat. she had realized until now just how parched she was.]

opheliac: ✖ malagraphic (but I know them birds saw me)
From: [personal profile] opheliac
Yet.

[with everything now properly set, his daughter helps herself by digging in first — taking a decent amount onto her dish, but to make sure to leave some for her father, too. she tosses the chip into her mouth, chewing while speaking, as per usual.]

Mm! Met anyone new lately? That beautiful eye of yours watching any dummies?

From: [personal profile] opheliac
Uh-huh.

[ she hunches forward, her arm on the counter, with a playful smirk swirling along her face. jinx looks as if she is holding a secret that nobody knows about (and that could be true), and his daughter teeths over her lower lip in a way to keep her composure and to not just blab it out due to the excitement.]

Aaaannnd which side does the traitor fall in?
