006. 💥(VIDEO) ⇁ TABLET

[opheliac]

( there's an extreme close up to jinx's face when this recording starts, a zoom in on her chin and her bottom lip while she attempts to prop the device correctly so it wouldn't tip over. once she's done fiddling around with the tablet, she tilts her head lower for her eyes to lock with the camera's lens. the pinks of her pupils glisten when she holds this unsettling and quiet stare, her breathing is slow, shallow, and audible enough for the tablet's mic to pick up. and if this daunting little personal moment between her and the viewer isn't enough to make them uncomfortable, maybe the curl of her lips will. like her breathing, it dances sluggishly on her face, and there's so much poison polished over them that maybe she mixed that toxin with the lipstick she's wearing. would anyone be surprised if she did?

and what's jarring is after a few seconds, the teenager giggles sweetly and innocently while she bounces a few steps back to give the observer a full body look of her. it's a glaring contrast at what literally just transpired, but that's jinx in a nutshell! one second she's one way and the next, another. the unpredictable loose cannon through and through. as for the outfit, still not dressing winter warm appropriate apparently, but at least it's something to match the season. behind her, is a building wall that's been doodled on by no other than yours truly. jinx takes a half-skip to the left to fully reveal the drawing to the camera with enthusiasm. )

Ta-da ♪!

( she sings out, throwing her arms to gear towards the drawing with jazz hands. )

Whaddya think? The best, right?!

( but before she grants anyone a chance to speak up, the girl disappears off-screen to immediately come back with fishbones, a rocket launcher some may or may not have seen around on her person from time to time. only this time, when she holds him up, jinx tugs on a lever that controls the mouth to move up and down. when she does this, she provides a goofy voice for the machine: )

❝ Looks great, Jinx! But um... are you sure the owner of this shop is okay with you drawing on their stuff? You should always ask permission before dealing with other people's prop—❞

—Blahblahblah, whatever! THIS is the problem with you, Fishbones. You start off hot and then you fizzle out.

( and if that's not rude enough to say to her companion, she swiftly plunges him on the ground by her feet, then steps over him apathetically -- moving closer to the camera. )

But I wanna hear from all of you! Tell me how you like it or maybe give me a few pointers.

( the girl plops herself where she stood, sitting cross-legged on the ground with a keen look shining on her face. )

Shoot me, I'm all ears...!

(OOC: this is an IC post of the mini-mini-event. if you still want to be a part of this but missed the sign-ups, don't worry! you can still join in and mention IC or OOC in the post that jinx also tagged your home or establishment. )

Jinx.

If you wanted to visit you could have just knocked.

(video + text on her side)

[opheliac]

( when her tablet chimes that she received a text message instead of a video or voice, jinx blinks and cocks her head to one side curiously. her pinks sparkle again, except this time, the teen activates her shimmer speed to zip closer to the device to read. but then jinx grins after, her fingers firing away to respond with a faint little taptaptap for the microphone to catch. )

i didnt know if u were home!! :)

( the smiley face isn't really necessary given he can still just... see her smiling but whatever! )

glad ure alive.

[ Damnit, don't be sweet while he's annoyed, he's soft to stuff like that. ]

I like keeping my word. Had to be alive in order to write you.

[ And next she'll get a photo: an awkward angle of some of her work, but how does one gracefully take a picture of something so busy on the ceiling? ]

Is this one of the projects you had lined up?

[opheliac]

NOPE! i had a fire spark of inspiration sooooooooo i went with it.
do u like it?

[ticket218]

My roommate certainly does. I think you may have found a new fan.

[opheliac]

HA! i knew i would get some followers. no one creates art like me.

[ticket218]

I don't think I know enough about art to agree or disagree, but I can certainly say I've never seen anything like it.

Just a shame we can't frame it or something.

[opheliac]

i can make a copy on a wall and u can frame it that way.

[ticket218]

Wouldn't that be a little redundant?

[opheliac]

( she rolls her eyes then writes out: )

then slap a picture frame on the ceiling. nail it up there.
