Jinx Haven

@Jin of Mana & @Hippo AF

"Cold water really doesn't bother me much anymore. It's all the same feeling really. Ya know nerves and all." She watched him head into the back room and picked up two buckets feeling that was sufficient enough to clean herself. She then saw him come out with two pairs of clothes. She opted for the baggy sweats, knowing the jaw-string on the pants would help hold them up. She would have gone for the shorts, but the thought of having him see her bare legs made her stomach squirm. She headed towards the room he pointed to then before closing the door gave a quick shot, "Thanks! I won't be too long."

After a few moments of undressing, Jinx scrubbed away the dirt. The cold water drenching her skin felt more like a light whisper of cold, rather then freezing lake water. Her nerves barely registered the chill as she removed the grime from her stitches. Black tendrils of hair glued to her blueish white skin, covering the stab wounds and part of the long diagonal scar that ran from her left thigh up to just under her right breast. She tried not too look so closely at the scar, feeling self-concious about the wound. When she was finished she stepped out of the cleaning area only to look up at a mirror. The deep grey eyes that stared back at her seemed sad. She made the reflection smile at her, but it still seemed forced. Damn...I really haven't taken a good look in awhile. She rubbed her eyes, turning away to grab the towel, covering up the evidence of her past. She immediately felt better, after she dried off reaching for the clothes when she felt a real chill behind her,"Oh god..that is disgusting. How the fuck did you survive that."

Jinx sighed speaking out-loud now that she was behind a closed door,"I didn't."

A silence broke out and Jinx turned, her eyes glazing over the woman as she whispered,"In fact..I am working on borrowed time. Now before you freak out and cause a rukus. You will not talk to me in front of Jin. I wish to keep this talent to myself if possible, and I am highly skilled at ignoring the likes of you for years at a time, so don't try and force a reaction either. It won't work. As soon as we leave this room, I will not respond to you again. So you have five minutes to tell me what it's gonna take to get your ass out of this house."

The woman went from being shocked to stern,"I knew you could hear me! I WANT MY JONATHAN BACK! HE SAID HE WOULD COME TO MARRY ME..BUT HE HASN'T COME BACK FROM THE WAR! I CANNOT LEAVE WITHOUT HIM!"

Jinx sighed, shoving on the large sweater and baggy pants,"That is...the most cliche fucking story I have ever heard. Ever think that he fucked off, or even died on you. What if he's in the afterlife waiting right now, as we speak."

The woman shook her head,"That's the problem. I have no idea. He could still be alive and trying to make it back to me. I know it has been many years, but he could have survived."

Jinx sighed,"Where did he go?"

The lady clutched her hands,"Thalburn! He was a magic-user. I have to know if they killed him."

Jinx threw her hair up in the towel and then rolled her eyes,"Of course he's there. What do I get for finding him for you? Hell what's even your name?"

"It's Mia! Mia Wallace. I don't have much, but I have an old locket stored underneath a floorboard in Jonathan's old room. The new male sleeps there. In our bed, for crying out loud! Please please do this for me!"

"Fucking goats! Fine...I can buy a new pair of boots with that locket. I will head into town tomorrow and see what I can find. Now I have to get back out there. Remember! Silence. I will not respond to you out there. Okay?"

Mia reached out to put her translucent fingers against my cheek,"You are a blessing. Thank you."

Jinx gave a small smirk then exited the bathroom, carrying her items over to her backpack and scythe before moving to a small chair, across from Jin,"Sorry that took so long. Dirt found it's way into every crevice. I thought it over and I think going into Thalburn should be fine. I have some spare costuming that I usually wear when passing through human centered cities, so my appearance shouldn't be too much of a problem. I have a few things I need to check up on there, though."

She gave him a warm smile,"Oh and thanks again for the clothes. They seem a bit big but they are very warm."

Wow! Congratulations. That would be freaky to do in front of all those people! I just had Rememberance day at the mall because I was working. We had a bagpipe band come play and then wore poppies.

Jinx Haven

@Jin of Mana & @Hippo AF

Jinx followed behind Jin as he entered his house, with her buckets in tow. She looked around, finding it vaguely familiar to her farmhouse back in Alfheim. It was quaint and large enough for a single person to feel comfortable. Aside from the old grizzled woman staring aimlessly out a window. Her form was misty, the outline of bone and flesh hidden within the area. Jinx barely even glazed over the woman, even as her grey eyes turned to look over at her with distaste. Souls were everywhere..like rats to peanut butter, houses were a gold mine for the dead to stick to. Jinx looked over at Jin, noting that he gave no notice to the lady. Good. Less he knew about the bitch the better. Jinx pretended as if nothing was there, keeping the creepy soul in the back of her mind. "Your house is lovely! Your decorating is a bit on the slim side, but eh looks homey! Bathroom? I would sit, but again..covered in dirt!"

Jinx brought her buckets over to where Jin had placed his and then gave another quick stretch as she dunked her backpack and scythe to the side. She then pulled off her boots, leaving them by the door, after seeing how much dirt she was dredging in. As she entered the living room she noted that the woman had left her spot by the window to move towards the hatch in the floor. Her form melted into the wood, disappearing from Jinx's view. She let out a breath, feeling more comfortable immediately. "Definitely better than camping. I haven't slept in a house for weeks, so this is super appreciated."

She waited patiently for Jin to show her the bathroom when a voice spoke from behind her,"He's coming back for me. He promised."

Jinx turned rigid, not daring to turn around, already angering herself that she reacted. Don't notice me. Don't notice..."You can hear me?"

Oh swiss fucking cheese. Jinx spoke up to Jin,"Don't move. There is a spider. Oh..no nevermind. It's just a speck of paint. My bad. Ignore me."

She laughed awkwardly, as the woman came into view, a sadness apparent on her face,"What am I thinking. Of course you can't hear me. It's been years since anyone has said my name, let alone notice me. WHY ISN'T HE HERE YET!"

Jinx felt bad for the woman, but not bad enough to make herself noticeable. She kept her eyes on Jin, trying to calm herself enough before she let herself be found out.

@Jin of Mana & @Hippo AF

Jinx looked up at Jin with surprise at his response to her brunt answers and then gave him a shy smile at his compliment. Like before, Jinx remained silent as Jin began discussing his past. Her expression turned somber, as his tale turned dark. Should you offer to bring back his friends for a time. No. Sooner he finds out what you can do, one request becomes too many. She looked over at the lake he was viewing when his tale came to an end. Jinx spoke up quietly, the buckets she was carrying sloshing about as she moved,"Well..I wish you luck when you meet them. If by chance I'm in the area, call on me. I may not look like much, but I have some...skills."

As they made there way back towards the house, Jinx noted Draco off to the side. She looked him over again, a smile curving up her lips as she winked at him. She walked past heading towards the house,"I mean..the scythe isn't just for show. You think I carry this large piece of metal for funzies! You have no idea how many times the blade has given me a haircut from hell."

As they reached his home, Jinx lowered the buckets, lifting up her back leg to do a couple stretches,"Took almost two years to grow it back though. Worst thing about dying, takes my body forever to a. heal, and b. grow my fucking hair! It's a real problem. Actually the real problem is bugs. As a woman who cares heavily about looking hot, pulling maggots out of your stitches really breaks down your confidence."

Jinx did a few more stretches nodding towards the door,"So uh. Gonna show me inside, or let a girl rot to death. Oy Sparky! You going to sit there all day."

Jinx motioned to Draco, placing her hand on her hip, as she shot him a come hither look.

Jinx listened patiently to Jin, lowering her buckets once again to take down some notes. She nodded when he offered to show her the cliff her expression calm and pleasant. Then he continued on with his talk of the past. His mind began to wander as Jinx followed along with his tale, remaining quiet until he finished. She spoke evenly, no judgement in her voice,"So you are just waiting here to die. If you know that this organization is still around hurting people, then why do you let them get away with it."

Jinx stopped herself, shutting her mouth for a few minutes. Way to go Jinx, let's throw this guy's past in his face just because you have some sick sense of morality. She rubbed the back of her neck, "Look. I'm sorry. That was uncalled for. I don't know your situation, and if I found a spot like this I wouldn't be half-tempted to leave, but hiding like this is a bit cowardly."

Jinx took a step back covering her mouth,"Fuck. I'm sorry. I'm an idiot, who doesn't know how to keep her mouth shut. Look your talking to someone who can't exactly be called a 'survivor' so don't even listen to me. I...Yeah. I'm just gonna shut the fuck up."

Jinx picked up the buckets turning to face the tree-line, half expecting Jin to tell her to get lost or to burn in hell. Here she was talking about him being a coward after what happened to her. She looked down at her feet, remembering the anger she had felt at being lied to. No wonder she hated the living.
