❝SOMETHING WICKED THIS WAY COMES.❞
Fingers dragged across the walls
Nowhere’s safe when darkness calls
Shadows rise where angels fall
(OOC: do you want to be a silly ninny and go off to the woods because ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ or try to go to the other city? this particular area is somewhere between trench and the other place. feel free to put up your own starter if you want to run into jinx in these parks. )

➤ (PRIVATE) THE PANIC-PICNIC OF FUN
❝MY BAD FOR TRIPPIN' ON U.❞
So I don't go shootin' where your heart be
'Cause you take the bullet tryna save me
Then I'm left to deal with makin' you bleed
Girl, you know we cool, when I ain't waitin'
But I act a fool when I don't get it
& I'm steady bruisin' just to save this
But I tripped on your love, now I'm addicted
( one... two... three.
they say in stressful situations that one should take deep breaths and count up. and this is jinx's fifth round in counting to ten since this morning. it's not that she is afraid to face chizuru (not so much anymore) but it's her curse she's worrying about. so while her omen was setting the things up at the beach, jinx was still at her treehouse burning an odd number of incense. she read up that it's better to use odd than even and to go room to room to banish any bad luck away. carrying charms is another superstition she read up but the ones listed she doesn't have.
the closest she has is vi's bloodstone ring which she is going to wear by default. jinx debates whether to bring a stone too, but she wouldn't want anyone whose attending have their feelings be nulled without their acknowledgement. maybe she can bring it, explain to the picnic goers what it is, and if they need it -- they can borrow it.
four...five...six. )
( at least ekko is coming to this. her natural thought was to ask vi but as much as she loves her sister, she wasn't the perfect candidate. and with this month being progress month... — right there, the girl finds herself rolling her eyes at the sheer thought of what month this is. well, it's now or never, she tells herself. so with one more look in the mirror, pockets the bloodstone just in case, and fastens "buttons" on her belt hoop, she heads out.
seven... eight... nine... ten. )
( jinx is wearing something casual, not wanting to go too crazy with her outfit and she soon meets up with her monkey at the beach. the blanket of choice is very colorful, easy to spot and long too. he might as well put up a sign that says," HEY! THERE'S SOMETHING GOING ON OVER HERE! COME LOOK SEE!". the teen cocks her head to the side with her hands jam in her back pockets. she observes him for a moment before chirping to get his attention.
although the two of them can talk normally, they never do. not between them anyway. they always communicate in his primate lingual and she asks him something on the lines of, "are you sure this is an okay spot? the beach?".
and being enthusiastic as ever, the spider monkey nods with flailing arms. he exclaims how beautiful the day is and that there are seashells. the sleeper sighs over his last statement. of course seashells are the big reason for this choice. her dresser at home is practically filled with various different seashells of all shapes and sizes due to her omen's obsession with them.
"sand is gonna get in the food", she says bluntly in more chirps. the monkey droops a bit -- as if he didn't consider that could be a possibility. a snort blows through her nostrils as she waves one dismissive hand. "it's fine", she says. "sand makes things crunchier. 'sides we can always move somewhere else.". that makes the omen bounce his mood back as he goes to dig in the basket. jinx maneuvers closer to plop a seat next to him -- peeking inside the box too to check things out. everything seems to be intact so that's good. the blue-haired girl fishes out her omni as she begins to cycle through some music she and the picnic goers can relax to. something nice, something spring-y, and something with nice vibes. )
no subject
The saving grace truly is the fact that they're not alone. Chizuru is infinitely grateful to Jinx's cute little monkey Omen for that much. There's probably less of a chance of this going super badly when there are other people to balance out the mood..
.. hopefully, anyway.
She figures the nerves won't go away entirely. But she has to do this. You don't learn things if you don't face them.
So Chizuru does show up for the picnic, walking towards the beach, dressed in something that is definitely spring-themed, but maybe not very beach-themed. Her little bird Omen is sitting on her shoulder, not quite as sound asleep as ever. It's not at full alert, but the Omen is awake, which is odd by its standards, since it easily sleeps the day away most of the time. There's a basket in the girl's arms, filled with the picnic food she promised to bring along. She probably made.. a little bit more than exactly necessary, given how stressed out and worried she was, so she's making the friend she brought along also carry some of it, since Chizuru just simply does not have enough arms.
(Or arm strength.)
As she spots Jinx already sitting there, and as they get closer, Chizuru tells herself to just breathe calmly.
It's just a picnic. It's just a talk. S-She can do this. (She's still very nervous.) ]
Ah.. hi. [ She greets Jinx with a polite bow of her head. ] Is it alright to put the food down on the blanket..? [ Chizuru moves her hand, gesturing at the baskets she and her friend are holding. ]
no subject
He's dressed casual as well, a funnily clashing sight next to how done up Chizuru is, but far from looking out of place on their walk over. Small exchanges can be seen before they get close to the picnic blanket's location (and within earshot), the way he tips his head towards her for some small and silly remarks that only go so far to relax Chizuru, with how she looks.
But hey, it could be worse.
So his hands are full, and he stops when Chizuru does. Looking at Jinx with a neutral expression (subject to change depending on any looks he receives) before he regards the set-up, the omen that's out. Gives a nod of his head as a greeting with Chizuru's own, and he waits for permission before doing anything.
Got to be a good boy, or whatever. ]
no subject
It's clear that he's cleaned up a bit though. His hands aren't wearing his usual gloves, filthy as they tend to be, because he's carefully carrying a black basket. The fried fish and baked potatoes he promised. He'd even seasoned them with some of the herbs and spices he's been growing. He's setting his food on the blanket so when the question is asked he shrugs.]
It's where I'm putting this, so why not. It's where we're eating.
no subject
her eyes first goes to chizuru and her outfit, smiling over that despite the jarring style differences in clothing, it suits her. jinx gazes over to robby next and, oh. hello. he's someone she did not expect, but regardless the smile doesn't twitch away. she doesn't hate the guy because "hate" is a very powerful feeling.
and to be on jinx's "hate" list, one has to do something despicable -- like lying, for example, being the quickest way. and the longer one keeps the lie, the stronger the hate. and despite her run-in with him and his dad on the network, it's not enough for her to put either of them in that column (in fact, she got over the whole thing). she wouldn't go out of her way to associate with him, but she has no real beef with him. so all in all, he's alright. existing and what not. )
( and before the girl can even answer chizuru's question, ekko is already well on his way putting his stuff down and answers it for her. still, her smile widens with her hands place on her hips. )
Yeah! Place 'em anywhere. — Oh! I packed some drinks too. Dunno if everyone is into wine so I got juice, too.
( mr.bananas then quickly climbs up on jinx's arm then up to perch on the girl's shoulder. his attention is on chizuru's sleepy omen in pure curiosity. he really is a sleepy little guy. maybe the bird needs more energy or something! )
And... ( jinx will start off, digging in her pocket to pull out the stone resting on her palm. ) I got this too. It's Vi's bloodstone. Helps with calmin' your nerves if ya, uh... have any.
( because it's obvious under the layers of this picnic to why it came to be in the first place. and to sit around and pretend everything is nice, sweet, and bubbly would be irresponsible and... probably look bad. clearing her throat and looking horribly awkward, jinx mumbles," I'll just... set it over here." then lightly tosses it a bit away from the food area -- so it won't effect anyone. if only the ring on her finger was a massive rock, huh? and mylo is already snickering with a scarastic, "nice communication there. veerrry natural." in her ear. )
no subject
It means the girl is quick to kneel down on the blanket, staring to take out the food bit by bit, making sure to put it on little plates she brought along to keep anything from getting too sandy..
(Let's be real - it's all going to get sandy either way.)
She's probably halfway through directing the basket Robby is holding down to the blanket as well so she can start unpacking that one when Jinx arrives at the last thing she says.
It stills Chizuru, nerves most likely on full display. She's never been good at hiding them, after all. ]
Do you.. want to talk first? [ She swallows. Chizuru glances sidelong at Robby, like she's looking for something that gives her courage there, but then turns her gaze towards Jinx. ] About last time. If-- If you two don't mind.
[ She glances properly at Ekko and Robby at that. She knows it's kind of why they're here, to keep the tensions low while talking about that stuff, but there's still a tiny part of Chizuru that feels guilty for taking up their time like this. Especially Robby's, since he's the one she brought here. ]
Jinx, if you want to say something about it first, then I.. I can listen.
no subject
Well, that's Chizuru for you.
He catches her look, here to play the support buddy, after all; regarding Jinx and Ekko, but his attention is more for the girl beside him in the immediate (and thereafter). So Robby looks at Jinx when she speaks, the stone she chucks, but he comes back to Chizuru; tipping his head at her for the question, a pull of his lips for that look she gives him. Approval given here.
And he's glad. He'd prefer they got into the subject immediately than fuss around it. ]
no subject
But it's like walking along a trip wire. Even a twitch could set it off and this could blow up in their faces.
Instead, he focuses on pulling the food out he'd brought and making space to set out plates. He sends a quick look Jinx's way, trying to gauge her demeanor.]

➤ (PRIVATE) TRUST AND ITS PERILS ( JINX + MB + WRENCH )
❝I won't give up 'til the end of me.❞
( there's a lesson to be learned here. after all, that's what trench is about. lessons and second chances. and the lesson being here is to never follow a deer into the woods, no matter how cute it looks. who knew cute things will be the one thing that will always be jinx's demise? you'd think the girl would learn by now that adorable things are to be admire from a distance and... not to be followed or kept
and because jinx decided to be "alice" and wanted to follow after the "white rabbit", she got suck down into a hole. a hellhole, to be exact. her machine gun, pow-pow is beginning to run on empty -- her bullets had been soaring through the barrels what felt like hours. there's so many wildlife carcasses piling up several feet away from her, so despite it all, pow-pow did a banging job.
jinx is just so damn winded and she is thankful there seems to be a brief of stillness right now to catch her breath. this gives her a chance to check on her machine gun and her ammunition so far. six bullets left. shit, that's not good. there's her pistol, but what good is it against these demonic creatures? it might buy her some time, but no real hits. and what of her chompers? she has two strap on her belt behind her and it'd be better to use them if there's a herd. her blood magic not becoming a problem, though, is a blessing. and for some reason, she's able to control each element better than usual. )
( she's going to have to rely on them when pow-pow gets tuckered out, which will be sooner than she thinks. and then, a piercing sharp sting hits at the side of her temple -- enough to make her wince and jerk her head. it's one of her voices; unrecognizable but it's more than obvious it's trying to get her attention. jinx tries to listen but their pitch is such a garggling mess. if she had to guess, though, it may want her to stay attentive or something might be coming near by.
so getting her machine gun back in position, she stands perfectly still -- her breathing coming to a stop for a moment so she can hear her surroundings clearer. she can feel the adrenaline swirling around her bloodstream and her heart is thumping so heavy in her ears. it makes her wish she could cease it from pounding in case the trees can hear it too. 'it's here...' jinx tell herself. ' i KNOW it's here.' but where? to the east? west? ... or maybe behind her. )
no subject
Each shot connects. Murderbot fires, tracking its companions and the animals. Drones fan out around the whole battlefield, giving it a view in advance. Other clusters of drones, mostly its omen, batter directly into the beasts before turning to smoke when claws or talons or beaks or teeth come for them.
The big gun's low on ammo. Murderbot starts brawling too. Punching and wrestling those closest to them, keeping them away from the small fragile humans it has with it. Vi's sister. Some dude.
The pickets start alerting. Murderbot groans. "Another cluster of Hostiles incoming. Five to eight. North," it announces.
no subject
Actually, now might be a better time as more beasts came storming toward them. ] So quick question for you, uh. Person with all the tech. Lady here can pack a punch, flatten out some of these fucks with electric pulse but its also kiiiinda like am EMP bomb. Is that, mm. Gonna be a problem for you?
[ His eyes flicked to Jinx. Wrench knew she was strong, and could keep her own incredibly well. He did have a bomb or two packed away with her name on them and thought, since it looked like they were running low which frankly was a great situation to be in, now was a good time to pass them along to her. ] Yo baby blue! [ He hollered to her, though she wasn't all that far from them. Head's up. And tossed them her way. Two. Small spherical things that didn't look like much but were pretty deadly in practice. ] Just give em a good fondle before you toss them [ ~_^ Sorry he's like this, MB. ]
no subject
so it'll look like anger will be the emotion she'll use here -- which means fire. and it's already brewing in her stomach with her hair losing is azure color to crimson. wrench's call out gets her attention then jinx catches the two bombs with both her hands with great ease. his wording drives a grin out of her; even a tiny snort. if they're going to possibly die here, at least there's something comedic out of it. )
Pow-Pow's low. ( the teen prodigy announces. she figures it's better to be honest in case they believe she can still keep going with her gun. ) — But I'm Coldblood so I got my lil' magic.

➤ (PRIVATE) THE CLINK N' CLANK (W. MAKIMA)
The Clink n' Clank ⚙️🛠️
( with so much going on in the last two months, jinx couldn't even focus on her business. and in all honesty, she surprised it's still standing and it hadn't gotten robbed or swallowed up by cobwebs and dust. what's even more astonishing is that she is still gaining customers -- regardless she's been out of business. it's touching to hear, really, and naturally she will never express to them how much their patron means to her. especially when so many other sleepers and locals can do the job too.
so here she is, standing in front of her workshop as if she is the customer. it's a little weird to look at it and to recall that she owns it. the appearance of it still an eyesore but when looking through the window, the inside still looking clean, neat, and all knick knacks on the shelves like she last left it. )
( filling her lungs with a deep breath, jinx marches in -- a bell chimes overhead once the door is pushed open. then at a flick of the light switch and the store comes to life after it's long slumber. the aroma of faint metallic and copper flows through her nostrils. it's right when it hits her that brings a warm smile along her face. even if it's just her in the giftshop, it's like she's back in her comfort zone -- a place where she can really be her tinkering junkie self. at the turn of her heel, jinx flips the sign from "CLOSED" to "OPEN" then makes her way to tidy things up. )
no subject
something catches her eye; a sign that says open rather than closed, a detail that has finally come to change. makima knows this place quite well in theory! mob works here during his free hours. and with the shop open, it might be her chance to visit the place a pup of her’s wastes energy on like a trip to the dog park.
so she walks in, with the door’s jingle signaling the arrival of today’s very first “customer”, but the sounds that come with it are . . . many, many doggy pants. ]
no subject
Oh, hey. Welcome to the Clink n' Clank.
( the teen makes her way behind the counter where all of the knick-knacks are on the display. makima will see figurines or jewelry such as: a butterfly ring, a tiny little crystal that glows in the dark, and other things. like self-made dolls of animals from her world and what she has seen in trench. but there are other things too -- like extra accessories for weapons and what not. )
— The price of these aren't really pricey. ( her hand gear towards all the things. ) Just one bloodstone or whatever ya got that can help with gettin' food at the markets.
no subject
[ she seems pleasantly surprised and keeps her hands behind her back to lean into the array of items. as her golden eyes scan the trinkets, she gives a little tug at all the leashes clipped to her hips as a little reminder for the dogs to keep their snouts to themselves. they sit when prompted and attentively look about with wandering eyes.
makima hones a bit more attention to the spherical crystal. ]
What does this one do?
no subject
Oh! — It lights up! ( enthusiastic, she carefully plucks the little marble in her hand -- having it lie flat on her palm. ) See on the side, there's a lil' button that you press. When ya do, it glows...!
( the ecstatic tone, however, slips away from her and gets replaced with a sheepish one. jinx teeths her lower lip before she resumes her explanation. )
I, uh, I know it's a bit small. It's kind of a prototype when I make a bigger one. Like a nightlight, y'know? But gettin' the materials for it is noooooot that easy.
no subject
I imagine this is your only one, then—?
[ but different ones for each boy might be more of a personalized experience, wouldn't it! there's that, too. ]
no subject
( and jinx actually sounds apologetic over this. but in hope to stop makima in feeling any sort of disappointment of the lack of merch, the girl adds quickly: )
But y'know!! I can whip a few up if ya need more. I'm sure I got some extra scrap around somewhere. Haven't had a chance to do a quick check-a-roo in the back.
