( VIDEO; UN: BOMBSHELL ) // misfire ➜ turning on // cw: lyrics....

[opheliac]

(suddenly he sees jinx in the living room of her tree house. she is sitting on the floor, cross-legged with so many bolts, screws, wrenches, all that good stuff all over the ground. there's faint music playing in the background as she is hunched over working on yet another mechanical project that may or may not be familiar to him. but it's not just these butterflies on the floor, there's also mechanical bugs (he should really know), too. some finished, some half built.

she is humming along to the song before she sings:)

♪ — And I know that I got a couple issues
But it's fine, keep playing with my loose screws
It's so insane the things we do
In the name of love ♪

(she then bobs her head to the music while twisting gears on a few butterflies and firelight bugs so they can hover around.)

♪ Damn you always get your way
Guess it's written in your nature
You know everything to say
Just as long as I'm in danger
But I like when you take me under
It feels so good when I suffer
It's so insane the things we do
In the name of love ♪

(she peers up at the her flying contraptions -- her index out to see if she can any of them to land on her finger. they are only meant to hover around for a minute or so given they are prototypes and not the real thing yet.)

♪ Got both feet on the edge
Are you gonna come and save me?
I'll take one final step
All you have to do is make me
If you ever walk away I won't think twice
I'll go bye, bye, bye
Even though that it hurts me, baby
I'm in love with the way you hate me ♪

( she's trying to find the right words for this, and also trying to keep her cursing to a minimum. it was just last month jinx told ekko she wouldn't need him for anything -- that the talk was the only use of him. and yet here she is, staring down at the blinking vertical line, a blank text box, and his username in the "TO:" column.

how does he always manage to do this? he says one thing, she says it'll never happen, and then it happens. it's so abnormal at times that jinx has had suspicions that maybe ekko was born with arcane talent, and just kept it under wraps. or maybe he's been a mage all this time and never told anyone. it would make sense since mages almost wiped out a race back in the fuddy-duddy days in runeterra.)

( either way, she's groaning and she flops back on her sister's bed that's annoyingly too big. her pinks are still very fixated to ekko's username before rising an optimistic shoulder. )

I could ask someone else?

( she says out loud to the dead air. like jinx is pressuring herself to look for another option. but then she frowns further -- slumping down the shoulder drastically. )

... No, it has to be him.

( her brows knit together as she whines; now behaving like a freaking two year old as she thrashes around on top of the bed with kicked legs. this is the most annoying enemy...(friend...frienemy?) she has ever had in her life!! with an overdramatic sigh, the teen finally sucks it all up and starts to type: )

U. i need u a favor.
and
dont
u
DARE
say
a fucking word.
