( 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!

Sounds like you were quite busy for all the years you were without your sister. [Made a new family, forged a new path, continued on in spite of - or maybe because of - the hurts she'd faced. His head cants a little to the side. After a beat of thoughtful consideration:]
Are you satisfied with what you were able to do?
no subject
[ The key word is able. For what she could do in the limited amount of time she had, she is satisfied. She's content.
For the part of her that wishes for what she couldn't do...
She faces Wei Wuxian with a small yet wistful smile, as if that would erase her biggest feeling of inadequacy. ]
For what I wasn't... Even with my breath, I wasn't able to decapitate a demon. I can pierce boulders with ease, but I can't lop off a head. You'll keep that a secret, won't you?
[ As if it's a joke, as if she's treating this like he does with some of his sadder moments.
She feels it's fair to tell him when he told her so much. Even after Montevallo, she wants to trust him this much. She wants to move forward, for all that awaits her once she recaptures all the broken pieces of herself. ]
no subject
But he smiles a little, huffs out a tiny breath of a laugh because the most and best he can do is play along.]
Cross my heart, I won't breathe a word of it to anyone. You're still quite formidable even if you can't lop off a head, anyway!
[Shinobu is still TERRIFYING. --Really though, someone that capable, who could make up for their physical shortcomings... Who wouldn't be impressed? Sometimes, it's all you can do to work with what you have, however much or little it may be.
All the same...]
But it grates, doesn't it? Those little things you can't change but wish you could.
[Even if, in some cases, they're you're own doing. Even if you find a way around them.]
no subject
Shinobu smiles because of course she does. When it's a foregone conclusion, when it's something she can't change no matter how hard she does because she was just born this way— ]
Yes.
[ How many tears has she shed because sometimes, she just wasn't strong enough? How many more lives could she have saved if she could only behead? ]
But you can't let that stop you because if you did, nothing else would change.
[ And wouldn't that be even worse? ]
So I kept trying.
no subject
Just as terrible as being unable to change certain things, and having to struggle and struggle and struggle in spite of it all. He sighs, leaning back.]
Doubt you need to hear it from me or anybody else, but! From the little I know of you, the world was a much better place because you kept trying.
[He's not entirely on board with Xie Lian's idea that saving just one person is enough, but saving tens, hundreds, maybe even more - surely it's a success.]
With luck, you'll rest well for it. All that hard work - the very least you deserve is that.
no subject
Saving one life would be enough, but that doesn't mean Shinobu doesn't try for more.
Does she get to rest well? Shinobu's smile almost seems a little more forced, a little more strained. ]
Thank you for your well wishes and for coming to return my memories. [ There's very meaningful pause before she adds: ] That worthless bastard asked me out on a date.
[ And with that, she does her disappearing trick because she doesn't want to talk about it.
BYE. ]
