( WELCOME BACK, TRAVELERS. )
There's nothing but the clatter of train tracks, and the odd feeling of almost floating.
When you wake, it's hard to tell exactly what it is that you're missing - only that you are. There are pieces that aren't quite right, even if you're not sure where those pieces would normally be. Pieces of what, exactly....? Well, if you had to put a word to it, it would be - yourself, probably. Or did you get something back recently? In addition, characters will find that they've been allowed to bring back souvenirs from this most recent trip - trinkets, nothing violent, but items that can fit in your character's pockets, whether that be sentimental or otherwise.
The place you've found yourself in is strange, certainly. It's probably worth exploring a bit. For those who have been here a while, they might notice some expansions. Though it just as easily seems that the only form of welcome or explanation that you have, comes from nothing more than a slab of marble.
It might've changed since the last time you saw it. Today it reads:
You might have changed since the last time you saw yourself too - perhaps with a new emblem on your clothes, or a portrait on your skin. In addition to that, it seems like Home Base is on the fritz again…?
It seems that suddenly and at random, characters will be able to suddenly see visions of memories that aren't their own flash before their eyes. Pieces of your lives or where you were before this will suddenly slam into other's heads, as clearly as if they experienced the event and the feelings themselves. You might have an inkling of where your memory went and what it was - but you'll need to talk it out with that person in order to recollect it in all its strength back to yourself. Don't you want to keep those precious parts of yourself? It's best if you don't fall more to pieces while you're here. (Memories that have been lost in fragments cannot be sent to others - that's more fun for the future!)
There's no need to fret that much though. You've already gone through the ordeal once, and you might be able to see results from it. Or maybe you'll get a glimpse of where you're going next. Even so, it's best that you don't get too comfortable, because there is still the unshakeable feeling:
There's still much more ahead of you.

(*´ω｀)o That wasn't so bad, was it?
Hey, you know how that old song goes?
Do you believe in magic? (☆▽☆) Do ya?
Hope you found what you were looking for!

its time baby
maybe this weird mark on his forehead will disappear if he washes it off with the hot water. there's a beat, before he closes his eyes, and does, in fact, submerge fully into the water. he's down there for a pretty decent amount of time...but eventually emerges like a giant, shaggy dog and shoves the hair out of his face anyway.
the mark remains! so do his grumpy brows. pahhh. ]
GRIPS UR HANDS the fullass stupid chaos, it is here
Anyway, he reaches out, giving this poor fool a friendly whap on the shoulder.]
It went the other way somehow! Ah, you look even more sour than before... What is it you're so unhappy about? The usual "new place, new rules, things are missing and I don't like any of this" sort of arrival? Come now, no need for such a frown. Here! Let's go get you something nice to eat after you're done with your soak - maybe that will help cheer you up!
[he has known lulu dingbe for 5 seconds and is already trying to ruin his life with peppers]
red blacks red blacks
....friendly? that's sort of unusual. binghe's usual interactions are A) fear, B) anger, C) awed female staring, D) the like two people who care about him and E) shizun! OR SOME COMBO OF THE ABOVE. so to have someone just reach out and touch him like that is a bit surprising.
after a beat, he puffs a breath and glances away from this intruder. ] I'm fine. [ ok bud. ] ...I'm waiting for someone.
[ it's like pulling teeth with this giant baby ]
hc in the distance like "i feel a calamity forming"
What's their name? What do they look like? I've been here from the start and I know most everyone who isn't a new arrival, so I could tell you if I've seen them! Even if I haven't, there's a chance they showed up in the same group as you, though. You can always check through Home Base yourself, too! Just tap your emblem and it'll broadcast your thoughts.
[God is he a motormouth.]
terrifying
well, at least he's a helpful motormouth. he straightens a little. ] ...His name is Lord Shen Qingqiu, he's my shizun. he's shorter than I am, with an elegant countenance, dark hair, dark eyes, and always carries a fan. He's a member of Cang Qiong sect and the peak lord of Qing Jing Peak, where I trained for some time. I searched for him for some time already.
[ binghe also can talk a lot, it seems.... if it's about sqq...
a beat. emblem? his brows furrow. he has two of those, technically. there's the strange black dog shape on his wrist, but also this weird mark on his forehead.............. ]
no subject
And unfortunately, helpful as this motormouth tries to be, he can't be of further aid here. He hasn't run into Shen Qingqiu yet himself, though he's filing that information away for later, just in case he does run into him at some point in the future. FLASH FORWARD TO FOOD COURT HELL...]
I'll keep an eye out for him and direct him to you if I find him, but I can tell you he wasn't in any of the groups before yours, at least. It may change in the future, but it may not. We tend to keep a small number around here - about thirty or so people from all sorts of worlds at any given time.
[But lo, Binghe will end up being one of the lucky-- MXTX protag and love interest sets. Good work team.]
What's your name, by the way? Mine is Wei Wuxian.
no subject
hm. he doesn't like that answer. it almost seems like he's going to ignore him afterwards, but binghe changes his mind...it's best to get the information that he can about wherever he's ended up before shizun does come. he's a clever young man who likes to know his surroundings, especially when they are shizun-less and might be dangerous. ]
...Luo Binghe, of Qing Jing Peak. [ when was the last time he had to introduce himself to anyone? what a strange new world.... tf...it's kind of nice to introduce himself like that, though. ignoring the fact that he's the literal ruler of a sect palace
and also demons. qing jing is way more important. ] All sorts of worlds?no subject
GOOD THING HE DIDN'T SLAM THE IGNORE BUTTON THOUGH since Wei Wuxian has apparently decided he's having a good time talking to this rando and would have just kept babbling at him one way or another. God. There's definitely still no recognition in his expression at the name or title though, so he just hums out a little neutral note in response to the introduction before moving on.]
Yes, yes! If you ask around, you'll meet people from countries you've never heard of before and time periods far, far out into the future. Plenty of different types of worlds out there, too! Some have never heard of cultivators, others have spiritual beings that don't seem to exist anywhere else - you'll run into all sorts.
no subject
Are you a cultivator? [ because you seem very... y'know.... demon-y ]
no subject
I am. You are too, I take it? There are a good handful of us here, haha. Seems our dear friend likes picking on us!
[The rudeass pillar...]
no subject
I trained at Qing Jing Peak under my shizun, and practice on my own, too. [ practices Demonic Cultivation!!!! but that's shameful and ended up with him getting shoved into a demon hole he thinks so he's not gonna say it. ] Our 'dear friend'?
no subject
Welcome, then! [To their little fucking group of stupidass cultivators.
As for the question, his very helpful clarification is just:] Who or whatever talks to us through that stone slab. No one quite knows yet!
[The "dear friend" is definitely not as actually amiable as it had been before mafia world, god.]
no subject
Is there a reason why we were brought here?
no subject
There's another vague, sweeping hand gesture from him, though. This boy cannot sit still.]
So far? It doesn't seem like that stone has lied about us being here to collect the missing pieces of ourselves. Memories, abilities - things like that. In the worlds we've been to so far, at least a handful of people have returned with something they had lost. Not to say there aren't ulterior motives at work, of course! But they're very well-hidden, if there are.
no subject
...I see. [ hm. ] You're quite knowledgable. Thank you for your kindness.
[ manners! he's a well trained dog sometimes! ]
no subject
TRULY A MAN OF MANNERS THOUGH. Wei Wuxian grins, waving a hand in friendly dismissal.]
Think nothing of it! We're all in this situation together, after all. [No benefit in not being helpful!]
If you have other questions that come to mind later, I'm easy enough to find! I think. [Questionably accurate.] There's Home Base, too. As long as we're in this space, it should function well enough. Just don't count on it working once we get to another world.
no subject
he nods his head, still sort of caught off guard by this friendliness. the demons he cultivated with (even though he's Absolutely Not a Demon Himself) were way too coarse for such interactions. it was better to be feared than loved, in most cases, and so...here he is. having a normal conversation with another cultivator, like it's the weather they're talking about or something. incredible. ]
Are there demons here? [ so like might as well ask the important question, i guess. ]
no subject
GOOD QUESTION, THOUGH. He glances upward thoughtfully, humming out a little neutral note as he thinks of all the people he's run into.]
Let's see, let's see - I don't think we have any demons, but there are plenty of non-humans, without a doubt. Interested in finding them?
no subject
...No, not really. [ then who gives a shit, actually
they're fine on their own and he doesn't care nearly enough. he gets to toss a bunch of his responsibilities? no one knows who he is here? could it be he could just be a disciple of qing jing peak like he wanted....?
he definitely absolutely has to find shizun now. It's better if there aren't any, anyway. [ since they're the scum of the earth, anyway, according to lots of people....though luo binghe's wise shizun never said so as far as he remembers, and has always taught being kind to anyone. what a stand up guy. ]
no subject
Though the additional comment has him grinning, both brows arched as he tips his weight from side to the side in the water. He's amused as shit about this, mostly because this fool clearly has some wildass, obvious connection to demonic cultivation in some way with an aura like that. Why bother trying to hide it when it's so hard to hide from the start??]
Hm, is that so... And why is that, exactly? Have they done something to earn your ire? Do you think they would be causing trouble if any were here? Let me tell you, there are plenty of humans who would do the things expected of demons without even a second thought! If we're unfortunate enough to be stuck here with troublemakers at all, we'd see all sorts, here.
[He's almost entirely sure he doesn't need to say any of this to this man, but he does anyway since it's hilarious.]
no subject
there's a beat before he responds. ] They tend to be unruly, is all, in the realm I am from. [ especially when he's supposed to be in charge of them...... press f for huanhua palace ] I wouldn't want to cause any undue problems for shizun or anyone else.
[ at least he doesn't have to smack anybody around to prove he's more powerful than them
besides liu qingge. he truly can retire to become a housewife. what a dream. ]no subject
That's as good an answer as he'd been expecting, though! He hums, the notes a little lighter and more buoyant this time.]
I see, I see. A lot to handle, hm? Well! We don't need demons here for unruliness, anyway. You'll still see plenty of that! Some of us do seem to get very restless in between trips to worlds and maybe have a little too much fun with the new things we're given.
[flashbacks to okuni hooking up a water gun to the soda fountain and sasuke fighting the carwash. Like 90% of the people who ended up here are extremely chaotic or enablers of chaos... But hey! At least they don't all fight to be king of the hill, though. Live those dreams, Binghe.]
no subject
so, traveling between worlds, spending time in this 'space'. it's not an unreasonable thought. his xin mo sword was able to cut through reality like it was butter, so. he's taking this relatively well! binghe leans back against the stones, reaching for the pin he'd put in his hair upon stepping into the water, and regards wei wuxian for a moment longer. ]
.... You mentioned something about eating?
[ and lo, the chaos can begin ]
no subject
But oh lord does his expression light up when Binghe loops back around to the topic of food. THE CHAOS, HERE IT COMES. Countdown until Wei Wuxian burns a hole in a wok again. He raises his hands out of the water to gesture as he talks, delightedly animated and also getting everything around him wet.]
Yes, yes! Everyone feels a little better when they've had something good to eat, and food shared in company tastes the best of all! Are you done soaking? If you are, what other way is there to finish than with a nice, hot meal?
no subject
....when was the last time he took a meal with company?] ...mnn. [ so, yeah. he's done! might as well go take a meal and learn a little bit with this strange person. he'll start to lift himself out of the water in a cascade of dark hair, and make to go get dressed again, in loose, dark robes.
food.... ]
