[Jinx is sitting on the couch in her living room. The girl's definitely not as happy nor as lively as she used to be, but she's less depressed and trying to put on a good face. That wine glass in her hand probably has something to do with her talkative mood. It's a start, at least.]

You stop getting homesick after a while. Of course there's still ( Read more... )

[Jinx is awake. She has been for the past few days. It's still difficult for her to move much, so she's propped up on her hospital bed. Her hair is stringy and greasy, falling around her shoulders. Her face is pale, lacking any trace of makeup. For a moment, it looks like she's about to say something, but her shoulders drop, her lips purse, she ( Read more... )

[When the video feed clicks on, Jinx is sitting, absolutely wide-eyed, in her favorite chair at S.S. Kahve. In the far corner of the screen, an employee can be seen cleaning up a puddle of spilled coffee. Well, less spilled, more like dropped without a single ounce of remorse. What can she say? The little metahuman is anxious, excited, and still ( Read more... )

[Jinx is definitely not like she used to be. Along with having a decently large, round stomach on her, she's gained some weight all around. Not a whole lot of dressing gothic, either. It would look silly with her current condition, anyway. But she's still wearing a lot of eyeliner, and it's pooling around her bottom lids with how much she had been ( Read more... )

[The feed clicks on mid-sentence. Jinx does not sound happy.]

--the hell is this store trying to pull? These are obviously knockoffs.

[There's another woman's voice. She's a very timid saleswoman, trying to tell Jinx, "I assure you, all of our products are authentic imports from--"]

That's a fucking lie and you know it, lady. You wanna know how I know ( Read more... )

[You see, this was meant to be a phone call to Trauma. However, with Jinx's amazing luck, she managed to hit the wrong button. So, instead of making a private call to her brother, she gets a public post.]

Hey, T. I need you to go to the store and buy me tampons.

...wait. No. I need the opposite of tampons. Those other things. Whatever they are.

Now.

Listen up, Siren's Port! There's been a lot of new faces showing up in the past month and it's been hell. Yes, you're in a new city. No, this isn't a dream. Get over yourself and enjoy the "get away from your past free" card. Aside from the whole monster enforced curfew, it's great here. Plenty of fulfilling and fun things to do in this town.

Like ( Read more... )

[Before evening sirens. The feed starts with a muffled thud as the NV hits the ground.]

...c'mon, baby. Show me what you're made of...that's right, c'mon...

Would you hurry the fuck up already?

How about I step aside and let you take a crack at this, boy wonder!

We could call a car faster than this. Jinx, if you can't do it, just say you can't ( Read more... )

[So, guess which two knuckleheads just got depowered? Jinx is trying to stay calm. She's failing miserably, but at least she's trying. Her voice comes out so panicked she's probably going to give herself a heart attack. A for effort, at least?]

I don't know what I did. W-We were just talking and I started feeling weird and he just hit the floor and ( Read more... )

So, I - uh - hear that a lot of kids are looking for jobs. Not a whole lot of places will hire people under sixteen and school's not an option for some newcomers. So, I have an offer. Well, this was totally Riku's idea. Not mine. [She's also a liar who hasn't even run this past Riku.] I'm just running this new program...

Okay. As some of you may ( Read more... )
