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.

[ well, that, combined with her initial post, make him lock the conversation just in case. ]

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.

🔒 audio; cw: hinting about dying ):

[opheliac]

I'll... [a beat.] — Actually, I don't know if I'll be okay. Everything is my fault.

[she exhales out a tiny, defeated sigh.]

And that stupid boy savior had to go save me.

perma🔒

[incorrigibles]

You wanna tell me what happened?

[ it's a genuine question — a genuine offer. he'll listen to however much, or however little, she might want to share. ]

... But for what it's worth, I'm glad he did. Even if you're not.

[opheliac]

Ha, Where do I even start? The fact my sister became the thing that killed my parents that I'm still not 100% over, or how about my other dad mysteriously came back from the dead, but he was trapped in a wolf beast body?

[she scoffs, and all of her emotions soar off her tongue like a running stream.]

OH! Here's another one for you, a metal fortune cookie going cuckoo with his miracle powers and wanting to take over the world. And did he do it, folks? Whooooo knows, because I got brought here right before the supposed war we were all heading towards.

All I know is that I should have stayed in my hideout, or maybe I should have been harder on Isha. Then maybe all the bad stuff wouldn't have happened. We were FINE until my stupid people wanted me to be their stupid hero. Because look where it got me?

[incorrigibles]

[ oh. well, that's — that's a lot to take in, actually, and charles doesn't want to treat any of it with any less importance than what she deserves, which is why he says, then, quiet and full of feeling, ] Fuck.

[ right. where to start? ]

Shit, that's a lot. [ and none of it fair, by the sounds of it. ] Who's Isha?

[opheliac]

[she breathes out a weary sigh now that she blurt all of that out, and her tone softens compared from seconds before.]

My little girl. An angel who lost her ability to fly, and fell right on top of me.

[incorrigibles]

... oh.

[ so a little sister, or an adopted child, or perhaps an amalgamation of the two — in any case, someone jinx must have loved a lot. loves, still, despite her... being gone, or so he infers from the post. ]

Sometimes — [ he pauses, thinks of the attic where he died, thinks of the lantern in edwin's hand, and says, ] Sometimes, life's got a funny way of bringing people to you, don't it? I'm glad you had her... and sorry that she's gone.

[opheliac]

Not unless she's here.

[there's a tiny hint of a hopefulness in her tone, regardless, knowing to carry that hope is a dangerous thing.]

I... gotta know for sure.

[incorrigibles]

... yeah. I get it.

[ and he does — he can think of several cases where he wouldn't be able to rest without making sure, 110%. ]

You want me to look for her? I can cover a larger area, with the mirrors and all.

[opheliac]

You'd do that...? Really? I wouldn't want to, I dunno, exhaust you. I mean, there's a lot of mirrors in this joint.

[how does his ability work anyhow? jinx can't recall a time she witnessed it in purpose. but it would be helpful and cover a lot a ground.]

[incorrigibles]

For you? Yeah, of course.

[ he delivers that wholly earnestly. ]

It's fine, it won't exhaust me. [ and even if it does, eventually... well. he doesn't really care. ]

[opheliac]

... Thanks, Chuck. I'll buy you lunch as a thanks. I think I might still have some coins stashed away in my piggy bank. If my old man hadn't used it for something. Not that he would need to. We're preeetty loaded.

[which she had an idea to maybe spread her wealth to those who are less fortune. maybe something to do once she gets settled in, and back to her routine of things.]

[incorrigibles]

Can't eat, remember? [ he says that gently — but, really, that's hardly the point. the point is, ]

But I'd rather just see you. Think that'd be okay?

[opheliac]

Oh, whoops...! Sorry, gotta keep that in my noggin. But, uh. Sure. We can meet up later.

[incorrigibles]

Hey, it's fine, I don't mind.

[ it's the thought that counts, right? ]

Aces. Just let me know when and where, yeah? You've got a big hug waiting for you.

[opheliac]

I will, Chuck. ... Thanks. Really.

🎀

[incorrigibles]

Anytime.

[ and he will definitely give her a big twirling hug when he does see her!! ]
