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.

Not surprising, not surprising at all! Terrible.

[JUST TERRIBLE. Also attempting to annoy Wei Wuxian is like trying to fill a bucket with a hole in it DON'T WASTE YOUR ENERGY HAKU. He just hums a little aimless note, soft and lilting. Then, curious:]

Is it something you want back?

[amberspirit]

[Look, he ain't gonna stop trying because Wei Wuxian deserves it. Being nosy and awful. And, later no doubt, all in his personal space.]

She can be sometimes. Like I said, she also gives demons a place to stay and work that earns money. Her bathhouse offers spirits a reprieve.

[He's not stanning Yubaba, but!! There's more to her than simply being an evil bwitch.]

The only way to get your name back is to not forget it in the first place. You have to remember it and protect it. If you forget who you use to be, you won't ever have any chance of breaking the contract.

[Absolutely true on all counts and yet, Futile Endeavors.... ALSO LOOK THIS IS WHY HE SAYS TERRIBLE SO LIGHTLY he of all people Knows that even individuals with satanic reputations can't be judged second-hand. But also, because he himself has a satanic reputation, he feels like bullying everyone else with bad reps is fair game. Them's the breaks!!

There's another light little humming sound in response to the first part, neutral and neither in agreement or disagreement. As for the rest:]

That does sound like messy business. [Imagine only having one name to forget... Yubaba's magic doesn't work in China because everyone has fifty fucking names.] And there's no way at all to recall it after it's forgotten?
