Heh, yeaaaah, I dunno. Home and the hell that went down on the island are a lil' neck and neck.

(again, trying to find the light in all of this.)

My, uh, dad tried to save me, I think. I was on death's door and he brought me to a doctor. And he... injected me a drug we have.

(jinx then gestures to herself.)

Aaaand here is the result.

[serialskiller]

What did it do to you? Are you okay, Jinx?

[It looks her over slowly, before its gaze returns to her pink-pink eyes.]

[opheliac]

Yeah, I'm fine now. The procedure hurt like hell and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

(a pause as she nuzzles more into the blanket.)

— Actually, I feel... stronger now. A lil' invincible? But not really, either.

[serialskiller]

How do you only feel a little invincible? I'd have thought that was something that was more like an all or nothing--you feel it or you don't.

[It's not mocking her, just trying to wrap its head around everything.]

[opheliac]

I know logically I can still die and I'm sure someone here can probably really do a number on me with their lil' sparkly magic-y stuff.

(a slight eye roll.)

So far, I know I can run and move crazy fast. That's...all I got so far. I haven't really gotten the kinks outta what other stuff this is doing to me. But I do feel a lot stronger than before. Like I can take and do anything.

[serialskiller]

Do you still feel pain?

[It knows a lot about the potential costs of superhuman endurance.]

[opheliac]

Probably! I don't see why I wouldn't feel just a lil' pain. Oooorr maybe I don't! I haven't had anyone try to hurt me yet.

[serialskiller]

Well, I'm not going to be the one to test it. I don't want to hurt you, Jinx.

[That's how you express fondness right?.]

[opheliac]

Since when you cared so much about lil' ol me? It's kinda cute.
