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.

But also, extremely predictably, it starts to catch fire rather than neatly toast up.]
...I don't think that's the way it's supposed to go! Hm.
no subject
[ Demonic energy fire is too strong.
Kano waves the poptart around in the air to try to blow out the flames, and if demonic energy is too strong to be blown out by a light breeze and it actually jumps off the tart and catches the curtains and seats and stuff on fire, this is not Kano's fault, he is not taking responsibility for this.
Where's that firefighter when they need him. ]
no subject
It might have jumped off the tart and started setting the whole train on fire, but fortunately Wei Wuxian, being a fuckin wizard, just flicks his hand and dismisses the flames.]
How is it? Too burnt to eat? We can try with a weaker flame if it is!
no subject
Kano at least is a dumb human who is glad the flames disappeared because he belatedly realizes that holding a flaming tart in his hand isn't the smartest thing to do. He taps at he the sugar shell on the top half, which miraculously hadn't melted off, but it sure is charred and some black bits flake off a little at his taps.
Breaking it in half, though, the contents are nice and gooey, and Kano carefully separates the top and bottom halves so each of them can have something like an open sandwich poptart. ]
Might as well try out what we got~ Like roasting marshmallows after setting it on fire and picking off all the crunchy bits, what you really want is the nice gooey innards~
no subject
I see...! [DOES HE?? He doesn't know what a marshmallow is either, but he'll take Kano's word for it, tucking the spent talisman away in his sleeve and reaching for both pieces of his half of this poptart monstrosity.]
It does smell nice like this. Reminds me of those churros when they were being baked!
[Fresh cinnamon is enough to charm any fool, honestly. ANYWAY, after munching on the least burnt quarter:] —Hm, you were right, absolutely right! It's much, much better when it's warm.
no subject
Most things are better when they're warm~ If something tastes weird, try setting it on fire first!
[ I still don't know Promare, but Kano will be a Burnish one way or another. ]
But hey, hey, was that a lighter or something you had tucked up in there? Where can I get one? Sleeve fire sounds so convenient~
no subject
Not a bad motto to live by! [ACTUALLY YES, IT IS BAD. Kano's already got the fire thing down at least, he'll be one of the best Burnish out here.]
Hm? A lighter? No, no - just a fire talisman. Easy to set alight with the right energy!
[Most cultivators use their own qi but sometimes you don't have qi to use so you just make do with resentful energy!!]
no subject
[ Resentful energy? I want to say he has a lot of that, but he doesn't anymore because I yeeted all the important stuff out of his head, whoops.
He makes grabby hands at Wei Wuxian. Give him a fire starter. ]
no subject
Anyway he'll hand one over despite the fact that he is pretty sure this wild person is not a cultivator. Who's he to deny anyone the chance to try!!]
Here! You can give it a try, but know I only have one other on me and can't make any more right now.
no subject
Hm.
[ He dashes it hard against the ground, but it doesn't even spark. ]
Man, not even potential energy, huh?
[ He trots over to pick it up. ]
Is this like a one-time-use thing? Maybe it already got used?
no subject
More or less - you don't really want to use something with spent energy, you know? [It's probably bad karma on top of just not being The Best It Can Be.
He nods toward the one in Kano's hand.] That one's still good, though! I wouldn't hand you a spent talisman, haha.
[Wouldn't he, though??]
no subject
He~h... I'll keep practicing with it, then~ Maybe I just gotta fuel up so I can have enough energy to light it! Gotta stock up on ice cream and poptarts~
no subject
Who knows! There are plenty of paths for cultivation; if you strike out and find your own, it would be something worth celebrating indeed!
[Just don't do the demonic cultivation, it's bad news for everyone.
-The Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation, 2019]
no subject
Wish me luck~ I'm gonna be the trailblazer in poptart cultivation!! No tart will be left untoasted once I master this craft!
[ He is going to find a lighter in the store later so he can toast his own poptarts. In the meanwhile, though, there's not much he can do but sit back and jiggle the talisman around in his pocket a little. He sure hopes he doesn't accidentally tap into latent powers while it's in his pocket. ]
no subject
There is so much happening here though, oh my god. Kano is his favorite. This is terrible. What a gremlin child??]
Haha, perfect! When you say things with conviction, it automatically gives you more power!
[THAT'S NOT HOW ANYTHING WORKS and yet he says it with such conviction, himself. What an idiot. ANYWAY, deciding he's spent enough time in this chaos chicken car, he'll just snatch up a napkin to wrap a few more wings up into and then nod forward.]
Shall we keep searching?
no subject
That's right! It's confidence or bust~!!
[ The loudest person wins! Whoever gets the last word is correct! These are the rules of men. Also people like Kano who has absolutely nothing to back up his bs besides conviction.
Anyways, it's forward march out of this car and into the next. There is a disco ball spinning on the ceiling and rap music playing in the background and the snack bar consists of nothing but alcohol and Chex mix. ]
no subject
Kano is valid (to Wei Wuxian and Wei Wuxian only probably) for his great logic. He's gonna get far in life like that and if he doesn't get far he's gonna get dead spectacularly, probably. Win-win! You get a good story out of it either way!
This cart is wild though, wow. He's immediately poking through the alcohol bottles.]
Is this sort of thing normal? It's definitely the kind of room you won't forget easily...! [GESTURING AT THE DISCO BALL... then at a bowl of chex mix. Which he just shoves a hand into like he's fishing for a fortune. After taste-testing a piece:] —Salty.
no subject
Aah, these are the ones you want. The break-your-teeth chips~
[ The super hard rye chips that are like eating slices of rock but it's somehow fun anyways. Those are the best. Kano lays a couple out on a napkin to show Wei Wuxian which ones, and then proceeds to pick up a bar stool and set it directly underneath the disco ball.
...He picks up another stool and sets it on top of that one. ]
Alright! You're tall, so how 'bout you see if you can get the flashy ball down? I won't let you fall!
no subject
—The flavor isn't bad, though! I can see why you want these.
[He scoops up a few more before wandering over to where Kano is creating a pile of chairs.]
Hm, hm - any particular reason why you want it? Not that I'm against getting it for you! It just seems like a fair amount of effort, you know?
no subject
[ What are good reasons? Kano is a proponent of collecting junk and then finding a use for them after the fact. He holds the legs of the top stool so it doesn't slip off, waiting for Wei Wuxian to climb on. He can probably use the rock chips to hammer the ball off the ceiling. ]
We're never gonna come back to this car, right? An opportunity like this, it'd be really too bad if we just walked by and left it alone!
no subject
Haha! How honest. [HILARIOUS. That alone is reason enough for him to oblige... He'll step carefully onto the bottommost stool, waiting to make sure Kano has a good grip before ascending up to The Disco Ball™. The chaos orb...]
These things aren't delicate, are they? I don't want to risk breaking it.
no subject
Kano laughs a little at his honesty being pointed out— because really, there's nothing funnier than that— but he's got a good grip on the stool and his feet planted so nobody slips and falls and cracks their heads open until after this disco ball is taken down. ]
It's fine, it'e fine~ I dunno how delicate it is, but if it breaks, we'll just fix it! I think we got enough ketchup for minor repairs! Don't worry about it~
no subject
What a wonderfully versatile condiment! But I do think it would be best to conserve our ketchup and avoid showering ourselves in shattered- [Whatever this thing is made from. ...He taps it curiously once he's close enough to stretch out and touch it??] -glass? Maybe?
[HM. WELL!! He'll just be extra careful as he finally gets to the top of this precarious stack. He feels around the top of the disco ball but he doesn't know what screws are so rip.]
--Might be easier to just pry it from the ceiling.
no subject
Think prying it would be easier? Make sure you get a good grip on it, and then I can move one of the stools!
[ We can let gravity do the prying. ]
no subject
Ooh, good plan, good plan! Surely it can't be attached strongly enough that it could withstand the weight of an extra person!
[Famous last words... Anyway he'll stretch up even higher, extending his arms so he can get a good hold on this disco ball.]
—Okay! I think that's good enough!
