[get crumbs on the bed, it's fine. vi doesn't care. fang cares, and she will watch with interest to see where they fall ...because she will carefully eat them all later. vi takes some time between each item, lets jinx lead her in that respect, but it's clear she's excited to show her these things, and she relaxes as she talks, and as she watches her sister.]
Extra robes, probably a better fit than the ones I gave you. Don't toss 'em, though because they're waterproof and even blood just falls off them. And they're fireproof, which might be handy, considering...
[fishes an arm in, reaches around robes and weaponry and ...nope, that's a different gun ...until she pulls out a bound book and sets it next to her sister.]
Book. Might be good, might be shit. Sometimes they're full of useful information, like how blood works, or who some of the Pthumerians are, or where to find a good barber, and sometimes they're full of stupid scribbles that actually don't mean anything, or someone else's cool art. But. There's a map in there even if you get a shitty book. Map's not bullshit, it's accurate.
Ah, hmmm. A little bit of incense. It'll keep beasts off you in a pinch, and it helps to make you feel less fucked up from corruption. Don't worry about using that up, I have tons, and I get more all the time. Everyone can do that if they need to.
[she sets the small bundle of incense down, and fumbles until she smiles - hand closing around this bad boy: the canteen, holds it up and sets it down. it's like an assembly line of 'welcome to trench' maybe 'welcome to trench: here are some consolation prizes to help you deal'.]
This? Super useful. You could put bilgewater in here and if you wait long enough it's clean enough to clean wounds with. Clean enough, even a piltie would drink it.
[she wonders if she might be able to put her own blood in there - would that, then, be safe to drink if needed? she isn't trying that any time soon, but it might be a good way to test the limits of the canteen's purification.]
You can power a whole house with this. Gadgets and shit, too. [out comes the orb, and she hands it to jinx so that she might take it to inspect.] If you're cold you can use it to keep warm, and it makes light. They're moon-powered, and you can take 'em anywhere. [if jinx were to examine the windowsills she would see that's where vi's own orb is sitting now, waiting to absorb some moonlight when it comes.]
This part? Might seem super weird, but bear with me, because ...okay there's no way this won't seem weird. There's a tiny little imp living in your bag, and yeah, it's a little creepy looking and sounds ...also a little creepy, but really it just wants to hug you and help you out of a jam, later. You find a spot you want to be able to go to like bam - like a hexgate? You just put the little imp down and poof, you get more imps, but they stay there with yours and summon a glowy lamp and now you've basically just made your own permanent hexgate. You can teleport to any other lamp location - they're all connected. But once you do it, you can't undo it, because permanent.
[she says this, but she had only in the last couple weeks, put her own imp down - on the beach by the rocks and the shallow pool. that's a permanent hexgate-implamp location now. the little imp will stay in the bag until jinx decides to take it out - at which point it will cling to her neck and hair. for some reason ...people seem to really like them.]
If this place starts fucking with you bad, go to a lamp location. I put my little guy on the beach where we--
--where we were just before I ...lost you. If you stay close to a lamp it'll clear your head of ...Pthumerian lessons you don't want. Other shit this place does. I coulda used that bit of info last month.
Oh, yeah. They like having little things to wear, and they don't eat. So if you take a month to put yours down, it's not gonna starve in there. I could probably make it a paper hat.
[the last thing is the omni. she hands it over and quiets a moment, thinking. jinx has already seen vi use hers - doesn't know how much of it she absorbed because of the ...whiplash of events, but. jinx is a quick study when it comes to this sort of thing.] This is your Omni. I bet you don't even need me to tell you much about it. You'll be telling me new shit about it by next week.
