( 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:
(*´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!

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.

[the quiet worries him, at first-- but then wei wuxian takes his hand, and wen ning relaxes, if only slightly. it's... a good sign, at least.

but he still has no idea just what wei wuxian saw, though there are only so many things it could have been, if it's something that he wasn't a part of himself. they spent a lot of time with each other, after all, and there's not much he remembers from the years he wasn't exactly himself.]


Was it really that surprising...? What was it?

[The shock fades, and as it fades, he offers a smile - a huff of a laugh. The last thing he wants is for Wen Ning to think he's angry. In a different future where he learns about everything too quickly and in front of Jiang Cheng to boot, his reaction certainly differs - but here, he can process things better. Mull them over at his leisure. Afford to feel some wry thread of amusement over the fact that Wen Ning of all people tore into Jiang Cheng so fervently, even though his heart pangs for the little brother he loves all the same. Wen Ning really knows how to hit where it hurts...]

You giving Jiang Cheng a piece of your mind. Not sure when - I was unconscious. I'm fairly sure we were in the Ancestral Hall at Lotus Pier...

[A future event that's not far off for him, he thinks, considering he'd been thinking about leading Lan Wangji that way to pay respects.]

"Could he have really enjoyed it when others said that he was impolite and lacked discipline, whether behind his back or not"... Hearing things like that upset you that much, hm?

It was after leaving the Burial Mounds.

[his face is a little flushed at the mention of the memory, though, because as wei wuxian repeats his own words-- yes, he does remember saying that. doesn't recall all the details yet, but it's slotting into place; he'd just been so angry, at the time.]

But- how could I like hearing those things about you, young master Wei? Even if you could ignore them-- you did so much for us. You weren't the person they all thought you were, but they never... they never wanted to see anything else.

[he shakes his head, hanging on to wei wuxian's hand a little tighter.]

And even he... could say terrible things about you. I'm sorry for what I told him, young master Wei, but I couldn't...

[he really couldn't take it.]

[WEN NING... THE ONLY BRO WHO HAS HIS BACK CONSTANTLY damn.

He reaches his other hand up and out of the spring so he can gently pat the back of Wen Ning's when his grip tightens. It's more a gesture of reassurance than anything; hopefully a comfort despite the water he's just continuing to splash all over the place, god.]


Everyone reaches their limit sooner or later. Everyone hits a point where "one more" is just one too many. [Even the sweet and often docile Wen Nings among them... With a quirk of a wry smile:] Though I wish you didn't have to get there over something like that.

[A bad reputation is something he can brush off easily enough. Jiang Cheng's words are sharp and he fearlessly aims for the Achilles without a second thought, but Wei Wuxian's had two lifetimes of bracing against his little brother's vehemence. Certainly nothing worth the upset and indignation he'd felt through Wen Ning. He sighs, considering, and then raises his shoulders.]

...To be honest, it was probably just thin luck alone that kept him from finding out for so long, anyway.

...was it really?

[he frowns, there, his brow furrowing a little more as he looks down at their joined hands. it helps, at least, it's a nice grounding gesture-- especially from wei wuxian.]

Young master Wei, do you think that he would have wanted the truth if he had somehow found out? If it hadn't been proven to him... would Sect Leader Jiang have accepted that his core really wasn't mended?

[that it had been given to him by wei wuxian, especially? wen ning had to make him unsheath suibian. he's not sure how else jiang cheng would even have learned.]

[There's a little huff of a laugh, and the hand he'd been patting Wen Ning's with moves to make a sweeping arc through the air.]

It's not that I think there would have been another way for him to have found out. But- [NOW HE'S COUNTING OFF ON HIS FINGERS he loves his little brother but damn.] -with his temperament the way it is, how sharp his words have always been, that he thinks without speaking, that he would even condemn the people responsible for saving us both so openly... Ah, you weren't conscious yet at the time, but he made a fuss even before things started getting out of hand! [THINGS WERE STILL PRETTY OUT OF HAND but it's fine, it's fine.]

Anyway, if he managed to find your limit then, we know that he can cross it, you see? It may have only been the forced distance he kept from Yiling that kept this from happening sooner. Like oil and water, you two!

[In other words, a clash between Jiang Cheng and Wen Ning was probably pretty dang inevitable.]

Ah... you might be right.

[he hangs his head, there, at the thought.]

I'm sorry that I did end up losing my patience with him, young master Wei.

[-but not for what he said and did as a result. even if he would still save jiang cheng's life, there are things he won't forget.]

[Oh, Wen Ning... Now Wei Wuxian does fuckin splash him on purpose, because he's a gremlin and he can't help himself. A SMALL SPLASH, but a splash nonetheless.]

Come, now - don't give me that look. He's lost his patience with more people in one day than you have in an entire lifetime. Isn't it fair for him to get a little taste every now and then?

[True enough, he'll defend Jiang Cheng to this day, even with their burned bridges - but it's not like he doesn't see why Wen Ning said what he said, did what he did. Considering it was for his own sake, too... Well. No sense fussing over what's done. He doesn't have the temper or arrogance of his youth that might have made him lash out in an earlier time, in a young and raw frame of mind.]

What are you still doing sitting out there, anyway? You really don't want to soak more than just your legs?
