alright, u stupid hunk of junk. are u going to start sending my messages now or what?

isha.

i dont know if ure here. i mean, ive looked through this a million times and i cant tell what kind of username u'd make for urself. i thought maybe scuttle butt, but. i dont see it.


[.........]


or maybe u just dont know how to use these yet.

but

if ure seeing this, its me, jinx. and im here. im not in aldrip, but im on my way there. i need u to either find a safe place, or find an adult.

if u find someone, show them this message and stick with them, ok?


if u want to try writing to me, there should be a keyboard that will pop up for u and itll show u the alphabet. the letters are not going to be in order, but thats ok. its supposed to look like that.


then u press whatever letter u want. start something short. like "hi". then press that little arrow besides the smiley face. or u can use that smiley face button and send one to me if thats easier. think of it like its an arcade game. i know it looks intimidating at first, but ure smart. i know u'll figure it out.


if u come across vander at all, just keep ur distance from him for now.

if hes here.

i dont know what the rules are when it comes to. him.

but everything is going to be ok, i promise. love u, kiddo.


and everyone else

look for a 7-8? year old with braided blue hair like mine. and shes dressed like me, too. she has big golden brown eyes. if she doesnt talk to u, thats normal, she doesnt speak. this place gets pretty jacked, and i just dont want her hurt again. and i know the council or the big wigs have a knack of bringing dead people here sometimes and


[...]

she might be really lost and confused. so. if u find her, please watch over my kid until i get there.

and same goes if u see a beast who doesnt look like hes from here. not the typical aldrip kind of monster. just stay away, dont attack, and let me take care of him.

if any of u see my sister vi, please dont tell her where i am. its important that we stay away from each other. i know shes just going to try and find me

but

trust me. its for the best. she needs to learn how to move on from me.

[This was a confusing post. Who was this mute little girl Jinx was talking about and too? And what was this about Vander who had been dead for years now?

None of these were questions to ask, not when she referred to him directly. What she typed was equally confusing. Relief at her return overrode his initial questions.]


I can read you clearly now, and this will hopefully last. If you wish to move to Rumpitur, I will not stand in your way, but I would prefer to discuss such a move in person.

Which cycle was I instructing you to break?

Considering we have two ghosts here, I can assure you that I retain a corporeal form, though we are all still in debate about how we exist here.
I will keep talking to you. Anything you want.


[Just don't... leave him again. It's been twice now, and he hates it each time even more than the last.]

That is your gift, Jinx. However, if you wish to move on from that, we can work together on that. I don't recall saying that, but it is reasonable. How much time passed for you since you have been gone, Jinx?

[ Miracles don't happen. Ragna is well-aware of that fact, but Aldrip has still decided to give him a painful reminder of that anyway by taking away the one person he oh so carelessly allowed himself to grow close to. He can keep telling himself that, since her sister seems to have followed her, it's for the best for the girl and she's finally home. In a world where she can make a difference, and where her choices will matter. Here, it seems, nothing can be changed, much like in his own world. If your own decisions don't do shit and there's always someone controlling things from behind the curtains, does it really count as living? Especially when even death isn't an escape...

Needless to say, Ragna isn't in a great mood this Christmas season. But whether he likes it or not, he eventually has to face the fact there's nothing he can do about Jinx being gone, and try to figure out what he's gonna do about this world next. Before he can make any decisions regarding that, however, his heart almost stops as he absent-mindedly looks through the network. Could this be...? The username is unmistakeably hers, and while he has no idea what this post is about, and realizes that even if Jinx has been brought back to Aldrip she wouldn't have any memory of her previous stay, it still... gives him hope. ]


... Jinx...?

[ His voice comes through hoarse and quiet, like he's afraid that voicing his thoughts will cause the post to disappear right in front of his eyes. ]
rebellions: i just choose not to use them (yes i still have facial muscles)

[personal profile] rebellions 2024-12-23 01:19 pm (UTC)(link)
[ When a reply comes in what is unmistakeably Jinx's own voice, Ragna can't help but laugh with a mix of relief and genuine happiness. Not only is the girl, but she still remembers him on top of that? Maybe miracles do happen after all. ]

Never been better.

[ But once the initial shock of hearing her voice again wears off, Ragna is left with more questions than answers. Was she really taken back home, or was she somewhere else? Was it the Council who kidnapped her? Why does she not want her sister to know she's here? Where even is she right now?

He takes a deep breath to try and sort his thoughts; yes, there's a lot he doesn't know, but they can take it one step at a time. First things first. ]

[ well if this isn't the strangest thing — her whole message, to a little girl (now dead?) and then her words about the man he has been told is certainly dead (but apparently not?)... and the request.

why? the video means that she wants to see him, which is equally confusing and alarming; what is it that she is expecting to see? or does she want him to see something, instead?

only one way to find out; and so, he opens the video connection, one that shows him inside his workspace, goggles perched on his head, a wrench in one gloved hand, holding the tablet with the other.
]

Jinx? You asked to see me.
runeing: (( 15 ))

[personal profile] runeing 2024-12-26 05:00 pm (UTC)(link)
[ he can't quite help the way his eyes widen just a little as he sees the state of her — his poker face has never been particularly good, after all, and his expression cycles through surprise, then alarm, and lands on something almost tentative... the poor girl.

though his sympathy for her abates somewhat when she starts asking, hm. questions that sound rather suspicious, actually,
]

Where else would it be? [ he narrows his eyes. she isn't asking him out of concern; she has no reason to care. none whatsoever. which means it's not that, but something else. ] What were you expecting to find? You asked to see me for a reason, no?

[ sorry, he's already on the track to some conclusions here... ]

Hey. You don't have to try and seem chipper for me, Jinx. [ a pause, and then, with a tone as genuine as he ever is, ] I was worried about you. And to tell you the truth, not sure I'm any less worried, now.

[As 'real' as anything can be here, but that's not what he's going to focus on. Besides, something sinks in his stomach, because what happened to Jinx?? She went back home and... has another friend of his died? He hates it--]

but what do you mean?? she cares a lot about you. what happened between you two?
