Re: Couple of Days After Pairings

[personal profile] artistinexile 2025-10-20 10:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Thrawn too is a little confused and worried. He was paired fairly instantaneously with Florian upon arrival: they had a month to settle in with one another, but now the Admiral appears to have not only gone a third month without pairing him with anyone permanently, and given him two inmates as well.

Could it be that he isn't meant to be here? That he must show he can earn his place by assisting more thoroughly with his temporary placements?

These thoughts are rushing to mind when he walks near to Jinx in the hallway the other way. He stops, his hands behind his back in his usual pose when he would walk the halls of the Chimaera, and the ships before her.

He nods in greeting.

"Good day, Inmate Jinx." He says, possibly too formally. Thrawn is still, years later, learning the customs of this ship and others, and occasionally will make missteps in his speech. His red eyes glow, as he comes to parade rest.

He nods, taking this into consideration, updating his impeccable memory. "Jinx. My apologies."

Thrawn, hardly self-conscious, merely nods.

"Yes: since I was at your age, or a little older." Which would put it neatly at two-thirds of his entire life.

"Do you have military experience?"

Arcane Season 2, Episode 7 Spoilers

[personal profile] always_trying 2025-10-18 10:55 am (UTC)(link)
(OOC Note: All responses will be coming from this journal, and the icons themselves will be major spoilers. She is very frequently with Ekko, so there is a chance of three-person threads, if you're cool with those. It's fine if not, of course.)

During the first day,

running into her will be pretty easy... because she'll literally be running all over the Barge, with a look of both confusion and amazement.

The second she sees anyone, she'll be quick to ask them what this place is, where they are, why they are, etc. She very genuinely doesn't know who almost anyone around here is, but she does keep asking about Ekko, Vander, Silco, etc. Maybe that's the first question out of her mouth at the next one she stops.

After the first day,

she spends quite a lot of time at the cafeteria, anxiously sipping at juice, water, or tea. Whenever she isn't there, it'll be easiest to find her sitting outside of the Greenhouse, reading a book with an increasingly unreadable expression. By the time she gets to the end of that book, it's impossible to tell what's going through her mind.

After closing it slowly, she just sits there, hands folded in her lap as her gaze rests on the ground.

Halfway through the Flood,

she makes a point of greeting each person with a smile, a wave, and possibly a polite greeting of some kind. Depending on how they react to the first two, anyway. No sign of liking her results in that person possibly being ignored from then on. She's not even a little apologetic about that, because she has! More important things to focus on! Like trying to investigate who this Jinx person is, and exactly how she wound up here.

That means close CR might get a network message, asking if she and Ekko can talk to them about something.

first day

Beta definitely can't blame anyone for curiosity in this situation. If she weren't such a timid person, more like Aloy, she might have been running around doing it herself when she arrived. Unfortunately for Powder, she is timid, so the flood of questions has her immediately freezing up.

"I don't--" Hoo boy, she's not good at this. "I'm - sorry but I don't recognize those names."

[personal profile] always_trying 2025-10-23 04:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Powder blinks softly, and then gives a bit of an awkward look as she quickly shakes her head.

"Sorry, I, um... kind of ramble when I'm nervous? This is... a little overwhelming, but... not your fault! It's... It's okay. I'll... keep looking..."

As she chews on her bottom lip, she looks around, clearly trying to figure out where to even head next. But it's such a big place, and she winds up just letting out a frustrated sigh, instead. Maybe she should just take a moment with this person who's not looking that much better off than she is.

"You, um... new here, too?"

Halfway through the Flood

[personal profile] chaos_drifter 2025-10-19 07:08 pm (UTC)(link)

When Jinx waves, Avalon waves back. Their expression is muted, but their eyes are alive, recognition clear in them. Avalon already found some unfamiliar people who seemed to recognize them, but Jinx is the first one they can remember meeting. They study her, trying to figure out if she seems different.

Oh! Someone who seems to recognize her...? But she doesn't... quite remember them. There's something very familiar, but maybe this is just a case of deja vu? After approaching them, she offers an awkward smile.

"Hey, so, I'm... having a really weird day. Like... I do and don't recognize some things here? Maybe you could... help me jog any memories? My name's Powder! It's nice to... sort of meet you."

“Nice to meet you. My name is Avalon.”

They slip their hand in their pocket, fingers curling around the orb they had found in their cabin. It feels new to them, despite the cheat sheet and the journal they had found with it, both a few years old. “Would you believe me if I said I might know a different version of you? I remember meeting you, but you called yourself Jinx.”

yes!
checked through the logs on the communicator earlier, and it seems like this version of me's relationship with her is similar to mine. to a degree, at least

After first day

"Oh, you seem to be about done your tea." Oscar had been passing by, thankfully far more sane then he was in his other counterparts. His expression was politely concerned, and he had noticed her tea was almost gone.

"Would you like me to get you more tea? I'm on my way to get some myself."

[personal profile] always_trying 2025-10-23 05:08 pm (UTC)(link)
She blinks, and then it's clear she hadn't even noticed she was running that low. There's a warm smile given to the man offering to get more.

"That'd be great, thanks!"

Despite anxiety clearly trying to wear her down, she manages to do a sort of impressive job of Just Fine.

[personal profile] unilaterallydisarming 2025-10-24 06:07 pm (UTC)(link)
"Of course." He offered a warm smile, as he offered his hand to take her cup.

"Would you like any cream or sugar in your tea? Or lemon?"

He wasn't sure what was making her anxious, but he was going to make sure she would feel safe.

After the first day

[personal profile] ctrl_z 2025-10-23 12:54 pm (UTC)(link)
They're not glued to each other's sides, per say, but Ekko never goes too far for too long from Powder. Especially when people seem to be acting so... unpredictably.

It's a strange place with a lot to think about. All the implications from the network and the host of posts and comments there. His and Powder's designation as "inmates" when neither of them have done anything delinquent in years, at this point. The private messages between "himself" and others that he wasn't even sure if he had the right to snoop on. It's him but... not him?

When he returns to the girl with a bottle of water in each hand, he catches that look in her eye, the slow, deliberate way she closes the book.

Kneeling slightly and tilting his head, he inquires, "Powder?"

"Jinx talks a lot about... Vi, like... Like she's alive. Alive, but... so different from how I remember her..."

She anxiously tugs at the pink strand in her hair, knees pulled tighter to her chest as she rests her chin on them.

"I'm... trying to put myself in Jinx's shoes. Trying to understand her, but it's so..."

Dark.

[personal profile] ctrl_z 2025-10-23 05:29 pm (UTC)(link)
He takes a seat next to her, brow slightly drawn.

"Different, how?"

And if Vi was alive... how did things go so wrong for Jinx to end up the way she did...? Granted Ekko only knows bits and pieces from what he's seen, but... it doesn't surprise him that Powder looks so solemn over what she read.

"It's a lot," he agrees quietly, putting down the bottles and cracking one open, gently moving it to offer to her.

"I've read a little bit here and there. Mostly the public conversations. Both the other Ekko and Jinx... They really seem like they've been through it."

She accepts the bottle with a quiet thanks, taking a long drink from it. After that, she passes it back, then shifts so she can rest her head on his shoulder. Powder thinks all of it over for a moment, gaze distant.

"Maybe that's... why we're here."

It's said quietly, a bit of doubt lingering, but not enough to stop her from trying to believe there's a positive side to all of this.
ctrl_z: (AU 3)

[personal profile] ctrl_z 2025-10-23 06:02 pm (UTC)(link)
He takes the bottle and sets it to the side, sharing the moment of silence with her. He'd always had a feeling that they'd been fortunate for the most part, but it hadn't been until they both arrived here did he realize just how worse off things could be.

It almost made him feel bad for having it so good, and he wonders if Powder feels the same way.

His head slightly tilts towards her, feeling even more fortunate that they had this. It still gave him butterflies in his stomach when she did things like this. Something that... it didn't seem like these two quite had.

"Yeah?" he encourages.

She closes her eyes as she thinks it over, and then she tilts her head a bit to glance up at him.

"We could tell them a little about our journey? Or... I don't know, maybe just make it clear we... believe in them. Who would have a better idea of what they need to hear... than... others versions of them?"

[personal profile] ctrl_z 2025-10-27 11:17 am (UTC)(link)
He looks back at her, eyes trailing away as he nods thoughtfully. He pauses for a moment, then says:

"I think it says a lot about them that they're still friends with each other. I mean, that's the kind of vibe I got, anyway.

"So, maybe that could be part of it, too. Find the good points that could be passing them by. Or, uh..."

He strokes his chin for a moment.

"I guess... what I usually find comfort in is... Knowing my mess-ups aren't me, you know? Uh... not that I'm trying to talk on their behalves..."

God help him.
