welcome mingle
( AND SO IT BEGINS. )
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.
The place you've found yourself in is strange, certainly. It's probably worth exploring a bit. 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.
Well - that, and all the people who seem to have woken up alongside you, lost and also probably Doing Their Best™.
There's no need to fret that much though. It's hard to say exactly where you're going next, even though some places might feel a little bit more like a clue, but what you do know is one unshakeable thing:
There's still much more ahead of you.

He's interrupted from his contemplation by the question, though, and he shakes his head.]
Nope! Never heard of them before. Or pepperonis, or pineapples! [The wild shit that wasn't around in 200 AD.] I do like spicy food, though.
no subject
.... No pepperoni....?
[ . . . . ]
Where are you even from....
no subject
I was just in Yunmeng, though no one else I've mentioned it to finds it familiar. Lotus Pier? How about that - yes, no? Qinghe, Yiling?
no subject
[hmmmm]
But I mean, I'm not all that great at geography? Have you ever heard of Promepolis?
[a beat]
Or like - America?
no subject
Nope! I've never heard of either of those. Is that where pepperonis come from? Is that where you come from?
[Maybe the real Galo was the pepperonis we met along the way.]
no subject
[he's just a WEEB]
Pepperonis probably come from America...? I feel like that sounds right. [he's probably wrong] But that makes me super sure of one thing!
.... we're from completely different places!
[was that
not obvious]
no subject
Wow though he loves Galo already?? Terrible. He's just bursting into laughter, reaching out to clap a hand over his shoulder.]
Yes, yes - I do think you have the right hunch, there! After all, I can't be from America if I don't have any pepperonis.
[HE STILL DOESN'T KNOW WHAT A PEPPERONI IS.]
But it's good to meet someone who is! What's your name? You can call me Wei Wuxian.
no subject
[HE HASN'T BEEN SHOT OUT OF A CANNON, WHICH IS WHEN HE'S NORMALLY INTRODUCED
but!]
Mm!! Good to meet you, Wei Wuxian! The name's Galo Thymos - if you're ever in trouble, you can call on me! I'll come to your rescue with my burning soul!
[he's serious
he's so serious]
no subject
Haha, is that so? If I'm ever in any sort of trouble - any at all? [Countdown until he calls on Galo's burning soul to open a jar.] You sound so hard-working! It's good to know there are reliable people like you around, though. I feel more at ease, you know?
[Yes... his gremlin heart is so soothed.]
no subject
manages to pull a super wide grin from him, pleased as can fucking be]
Haha!! Good, good! That's what I like to hear! So don't hesitate to let me know if there's any way that I can help - I'm all for keeping people safe and happy whenever I can!
no subject
Are you? Haha, sounds like it's your job! Do you just patrol these things for a living, no matter where you end up?
[Galo, just inviting himself onto every train like I'M HERE TO PATROL.]
no subject
[HE DOESN'T KNOW PEPPERONI, AMERICA, OR TRAINS!!!!]
Nonono, I've got a waaaay cooler job - I'm a firefighter!!
no subject
Yes, yes! Trains! [He. He also doesn't know what a firefighter is because they didn't have organized firefighting in 200 AD fantasy China, they had cultivators who took care of everything that went wrong.
At least he can extrapolate. FIRE AND FIGHTER, HE'S GOT THIS ONE. Galo is a fire cop.]
Ah! I see, I see. That makes sense, then - that you would be used to donating your time and help to others.
no subject
[ :)
but he'll just help himself to another hot pocket, tossing it up in the air before catching it in his mouth]
How about you? What do you do? Professional snack taster?!
no subject
Who's this hero of yours? Is he also out there fighting fires?
[He's just imagining that all of Galo's friends love pizza and are fire cops now. HE'S NOT EXACTLY WRONG.
Also he's absolutely laughing again at the question, waving one hand dismissively. THe other reaches for a different snack - part of a soft pretzel he's brought from a different car.]
I wish! Now that would be a nice job. No, no - I'm a cultivator. I take care of people's spirit problems!
no subject
[he's so STARRY-EYED
but also wait - ]
Spirit problems...? Like - ghosts?!
no subject
I see, I see! He does sound like an impressive man. Well! If you can keep up even a quarter of this level of enthusiasm all of the time, I'm sure you'll catch up to him before you know it!
[HAHA... ha.]
—But yes, sometimes! Ghosts, vengeful spirits, angry swords, goddesses, you know.
no subject
[but he'll IMMEDIATELY get distracted by the other topic]
Whoa!! So you're like - an onmyouji?! Or a ghostbuster!!
[those are
your two options]
no subject
[He knows Galo's TYPE... BUT HE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT EITHER OF THESE THINGS ARE?? Why in the fuck is the future so confusing. Good thing he's the kind of person who just rolls with the idiot punches.]
Haha, not sure! We communicate with them, help them pass on, take care of them if they're causing too much trouble - is it something like that?
no subject
[stupid headstrong idiot
anyway he's just going to sound so very impressed]
Oohhh! Just like a ghostbuster!
[this is what you are now, wwx]
no subject
Yes, like that! Haha, we have similar jobs in that way, don't we? You fight fires and I fight ghosts!
[Or like. Harness their undead powers and make them plant radishes for him, either way.]
