this is jinx

i cant find my friend. ive been calling her all morning because we were going to make a bakery stand together and she wouldnt answer me. i broke into her room and all of her stuff is there but not her.

i think they took her.
she wouldnt just leave.

who else is still here? who else did they take? i cant be alone here in this place right?

if u know me, please tell me who u are and write back so i know im not here by myself. its hard to know who is who with these things.

but dont send a video or call me. just write to me or the monsters will know where i am.

whoa whoa hey it's okay I'm still here at least
where are you

[opheliac]

ure still here.
ure real
its all real
ure here...
ok. its fine because ure here.
sorry. i just need to write this to keep my head from getting so loud

[grappler]

it's okay, do whatever you need to do.

you never told me where you were, by the way.

( PRIVATE )

[opheliac]

( oh look at that! her little sister learned how to private stuff..... and didn't tell vi about it. kinda rude? but that's not important right now. )

hiding in a cave.
um. silco said he is on his way. so. i dont know if u want come and then see him here. i know hes the last person u want to be around with.
but i do want to see u though.
i NEED to. i want to make 100% sure ure real and not my head being ... the way it is.

[grappler]

of course fucking silco is on the way

[the tablet wasn't supposed to pick that up-goddammit voice to text]

if you need me I'll be there no matter what

[opheliac]

( how unfortunate. )

if u two would stop acting like a bunch of rabid poros whenever u two make eye contact, then things would be a lil easier for everyone.

( how can a poro be rabid exactly? they're extremely tamed. ... except the one that bit her when she broke in the academy to snag the hexgem. maybe that's the one jinx is referring to. whoever is the owner of that little fuzzball need to teach it to not bite those who try to steal them. either way on the plus side of vi's slip up, it's grounding jinx just a little bit. so that's something if nothing. )

... u think maybe one night i can... spend the night with u? like a sleepover?

[grappler]

if you and cait can stop acting like a bunch of rabid poros whenever you guys are together than sure

[shot right back at you, girlie]

ill try though for you, promise

[opheliac]

for UR information the LAST time i was in the same proximity with her, i didnt throw any threats her way OR aim any of my guns.
she gave me food. i ate it. and we sat by the fireplace together.

and trust me. that took EVERY LITTLE BIT OF MY ENERGY to do. AND i had to take a bath because i didnt want to catch her topsider germs. so ure welcome. dont say i didnt do anything nice for u.

[grappler]

oh. well good. that's... progress.

[SHE GROANS REALLY LOUD]

don't make me eat Silco's food though. he'd probably poison it just for me.

oh goddammit i didn't mean to say--

[she's TRYING TO BE GOOD AND IT'S JUST NOT WORKING. brain to mouth filter what's this?]

[opheliac]

ure crap with gizmos, big sis. which device are u using? if its the charm, ure out of luck with the voice to writing thing.
if ure using a tablet, theres a keyboard u can pull up.
kind of a pain to punch on but itll stop doing what ure doing.

[grappler]

i'm using the charm right now because i'm out training.

i don't like using the keyboard anyway. slows me down too much.

[opheliac]

yeah speed is a lil more my thing than urs.

[grappler]

whatever. i'd like to see you do better one day.

[opheliac]

at being cooler than u? its not very hard to accomplish but OK! if u want me to!

( on the plus side, at least she seems to be feeling better. but jinx always tends to feel better when she's talking to her sister so it's a given. )

[grappler]

nah definitely not easy to accomplish. don't kid yourself, sis.

[opheliac]

for that if u ever come across my SNAX machine, ill make my monkey have u fork over 2 coins.

[grappler]

snax machine?

[opheliac]

wait. u HAVENT seen my latest invention yet?! ARE U KIDDING ME, VI?!
its the HOTTEST new thing here!!

(one, it's not. two, yes she is offended that vi hadn't came across it yet. and why? because like with silco, she is always seeking for praise and recongition from vi like fish needs water. and jinx had hoped by now her big sister would had came across it, seen the obvious design of it, used it, and be disgustingly proud. after all, she had to build it in such a short amount of time (thanks council) and she's still having a tough time gather materials. )

[grappler]

[????]

sorry, i don't know if i have. where is it? your place?

if so, you know i don't go around there.

[opheliac]

no, its in aldrip. but that clothing place.

[grappler]

oh okay. i'll take a look at it then.

it's like a vending machine or something?

[opheliac]

yeah! its got drinks and snacks. but also emergency first aid stuff, and honey fruit. i know getting THAT isnt easy for everyone unless u know how to kill those shark rats. but whatever. hopefully the losers know how to grind it up to make a potion. im not going to teach them.

[grappler]

well... you were almost there with the helpfulness. but you're right, can't be going to give everything on a silver platter, can you?

[at least that much they can agree on.]

[opheliac]

im only doing it to get this sentence off my back. BUT!! think of it as feeding me. im still pretty loaded but cash goes bye bye as time goes on.

everything costs 1 coin.

[grappler]

nice.

it's kind of crazy when you mention it, though. we'll probably honestly never have this much money back at home, you know?
