003. 💥 (VIDEO) ⇁TABLET

( the live recording starts simple enough. it begins with jinx propping up the device against something so she can be a little more hands-free. by the looks of her surroundings, it seems she is settling herself in at the SandW̴͚͆H̷͝ͅ1̵̩͛(̷̠̍H̷̭̽ ̷̦́H̸̯́ut for those who finds the establishment recognizable. but what seems odd about this whole thing is how eerily quiet inside this hut is. there are people, definitely, they can be seen in the background while jinx is sitting at the table -- however, no one is speaking. or well if they are, it's in low murmurs to each other that's hard to make out through the recording.

another strange thing is the locals in the background are staring right at the camera (and her), pausing in their own meals with hesitation and concern. and jinx is definitely taking notice of it too, in fact, she is using the camera as a mirror to look back at the people instead of peering over her shoulder.

and speaking of jinx, for those who bumped into her during the maze or the weekend before, her appearance seem to glow more than it did back then. there's color back in her pale skin (if that's possible), her pink eyes glistening more vibrantly, and visibly her attitude seems more on the perkier side. that's strange too, isn't it? well, whatever happened to her then is no longer an issue, it seems like. but the way the locals are glue to her is becoming an irritating thing, and anyone watching this recording can see it in her displeased face. somewhat coming into view, the waiter of this food place clears his throat to get jinx's attention. her eyes flicker to the man as he stumbles over his words:
)


"U-Um, excuse me. How... long are you going to be here today?"

( it's almost right after he questioned her stay, he knew instantly it was probably the wrong thing to ask. the teen cocks her head steadily to one side, her gaze dart down to his feet then to the top of his head; sizing him up. but then, jinx smiles to the man -- flashing its rigidness with no friendliness attached. )

Aww, gee. I dunno...♪ ( she answers with a nonchalant shrug, her words smooth like honey but coated with poison. ) — Kinda just got here. I was thinking about sitting here and grabbing a bite to eat. 'Cause, y'know, I'm hungry.

( the worker stiffens at her answer, looking around for maybe someone to help back him up or to chime in on how to handle this delicate situation. and seeing no one is offering a hand, he chuckles uneasily. )

"Uh, yes!! Well... let us know when you're ready to order."

( for those who are still tuned in on the other side of this recording, they can see the enjoyment in jinx's face of how nervous and fearful this man is being around her. the grin on her widens more mischievously as she lazily props an elbow onto the table, cheek to the palm with one, and using her other hand to drum her fingernails on the surface. the teen mouths a, "Will do." at the worker, but right as he turns to leave -- she suddenly speaks up: )

Oh wait! — Actually before ya go, I gotta teeny tiny request.

( extremely frighten what that might be, the waiter turns on his heel to face jinx again with a weary smile. )

How about telling everyone else here that it's a bit rude to stare? ( a beat, her grin twisting menacingly. ) — It's how you lose your eyesight. ... The left eyes are my favorite.

( jinx gives the man a sinister wink to send an extra chill down his spine before he scurries off -- probably to head back to the kitchen, who knows. and when the teen does a quick glance back over her shoulder, everyone else in the hut peeks away swiftly to return back to their meals. humming cheerfully and then throwing her arms up to let out a long needed stretch, jinx finally throws her attention to the video recording she's making. she tosses her thumb over her shoulder as she asks, directing to the people: )

So what's eating them, huh? Is it just me or they're acting EXTRA freaky around here?
