intro log.
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.

a!
—Yes! Thank you. [HE HAS NO IDEA WHAT'S GOING ON. After flipping the headband over in his hands a few times, he... slides it onto his head?? And looks at Akira with an expression that seems to say did I do it right?
Granted, even if he didn't, he seems pleased by the little jingling sounds he now makes any time he moves his head around, which is A Lot.]
Haha, what a fun little toy!
no subject
Consider it a welcome gift.
[Akira you're new too why are you handing out welcome gifts]
Something to boost morale.
no subject
How kind of you! And you know just what to get, too. My morale already feels boosted!
[He reaches up and flicks one of the ears so it jingles again.]
Here - want to trade? You can consider it a thanks!
[PULLS OUT A HANDFUL OF KAZOOS from his robes... He has so much bullshit shoved in here, it's a veritable knapsack full of useless garbage.]
no subject
[Akira immediately lets go of his shopping cart to do a very eager grabby hands at those kazoos]
I want twenty.
[what is he gonna do with twenty kazoos?? don't ask just give them to him]
no subject
[He ain't asking questions okay he's just here to enable gremlins. He'll shove the ones he already pulled out into Akira's hands and then lean over his shopping cart to shake a sleeve out... More kazoos fall into it, along with a grapefruit for some reason.]
If you need any extras, I still have more than my fair share. I'd like everyone here to get at least one, if possible! These really are one of the best things I've found so far, haha.
no subject
Oh, nice. You tossed in a free grapefruit.
[where are his other hundred grapefruits, Akira idly wonders to himself]
Iiiiii get the feeling this place is going to see a lot of traffic. You could always set up a booth here.
[a kazoo booth]
no subject
Oh! Yes, please take that, too. I only wanted a few!
[Costco rules dictated that he take a mountain though, and tragically, he doesn't have enough rooms in his robes for it.]
That's a good idea, though. I could pass out kazoos, grapefruits and melons! Who wouldn't want to visit that kind of stand?
no subject
[but Akira scoops up the grapefruit and tosses it idly from hand to hand, like a baseball. because why not??]
I'd visit that kind of stand. It'd be a great way to make some kind of profit, too.
What'd you charge?
no subject
[HMMM. He seems to be seriously giving this some consideration?? He's brother poor, after all, he can use all the help he gets. But in the end, it's not money he's after, so he just shakes his head.]
It's not like we seem to need currency to buy things here, right? So I won't charge in that! Instead, anyone who wants a melon or grapefruit will have to play a song on a kazoo, and anyone who wants a kazoo will have to promise to take another and give it to a friend.
[So the curse just keeps on spreading... Beautiful.]
no subject
[weirdly pure]
They're going to multiply like spring rabbits.
[Akira]
. . . someone here is really going to hate you.
[BUT IT WON'T BE HIM]
no subject
Haha, probably! But really, I think it would be well-worth the risk, don't you think? Just imagine! Walking down a path and the distant sound of a kazoo can be heard coming from any direction you decide to travel.
[A perfect world, honestly??]
Maybe the grapefruits and melons can be a peace offering for anyone who decides to come after me, too.
no subject
[usually it's tomatoes, but like. he's sure grapefruit and melons can be a proper substitute]
no subject
[He has not heard this but he's just accepting it as a True Fact. He looks over toward the grapefruit in Akira's cart...]
If someone threw a grapefruit at my head I'd probably be fine, but a melon might concuss me. Maybe I should hand out something that I wouldn't mind eating, instead... Those soft, sugary breads in the train are nice!
no subject
[oh, speaking of melons]
Actually, I bet we could track down some melon bread if we put our minds to it.
no subject
What's that? A bread made with melons? Bread in the shape of a melon? [...] Melon in the shape of bread?
[BOY DOES HE WANT TO SEE THAT.]
We should go have a look! I want to see for myself.
no subject
[A WHOLE NEW WORLD--]
Let's look around, then. Come on. . .
[and with that, Akira pushes his cat-eared filled cart back into fantasy costco so they can embark on a MELON BREAD adventure]
no subject
Really! How interesting. Who came up with that idea? And why? Not that I don't understand the appeal of sweet bread now, but why shape it like a fruit? If I were to shape bread like anything, it would be a rabbit or something. That would be cute, right?
no subject
Iiiii-- don't know.
[Akira answers while jabbing a finger at WWX]
One of the world's greatest mysteries.
no subject
Ahh... I see, I see! Like the mystery of making bad wine from good fruit and where rich people get all of their money.
[Sure, yeah, that sounds legit.]
no subject
Sssssomething like that. Yep.
no subject
[Nodding, as if all of this is sensible. Do either of them know one single sensibility? Questionable.]
--While we're in here again, I wanted to take a look at those rows with the cold foods, too. Do you mind?
no subject
[LIVE YOUR LIFE WWX, AKIRA WILL HELP]
But I wouldn't recommend eating anything frozen until you've thawed it out first.
no subject
[SAID WITH A GRIN. He appreciates the warning though, Akira is blessed for trying to prevent the potential disaster of Wei Wuxian attempting to eat a frozen butterball turkey or something.]
I'm looking for ice cream, actually.
[Which, for some reason, they have in Ancient Fantasy China??]
no subject
Ah. What flavor? I like mocha.
no subject
Blackberry is nice! I've never heard of mocha, though. [Cornettos are fuckin wild.] What does it taste like?
