( 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?

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. It might've changed since the last time you saw it.

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.

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. 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.

... Well, you've had tomatoes, right? It's made of those. Tastes... a little like sweet and sour sauce, I guess? Kinda?

[ 9S looks at Wei Wuxian with wide eyes when the man erupts into laughter. Though the upper half of his face is obscured, the twitch of his body and slightly parted lips betray his surprise. Wei Wuxian sure is... vibrant. ]

Oh, I see. Have you met Miss Shinobu? You guys might have a lot to talk about. She's a demon exterminator.

[Ha ha, WOW. That wasn't very appropriate for a sect leader, but nevermind! His parents are going to be disappointed.

His mouth opens to reply, but then immediately shuts before anything gets out. The comment gets him to look SUPER offended. A monk?! A monk! He's not in GusuLan colors!! He's not at all in GusuLan anything! Not even the state of zen.]


No. I'm the leader of Yunmeng's Jiang sect. What's wrong with my clothes? [He literally just insulted Royce's attire, and yet.] There's nothing to trip over. They're perfectly fine. Everyone wears this.
bywolves: (that's what you're wearing...)

[ here have a highly judgemental eyebrow right back ]

No. Never heard of it.

[me, googling and learning ancient china didn't have tomatoes & therefore fantasy china probably didn't either:]

N-no, I haven't.

[so he's fortunately going to leave the ketchup alone, he has no idea if it's any good or not. they can move on.]

They store everything so strangely, too.

[what's a plastic]

It's all so...

[So what? We'll never know, because that's the point where Wei Wuxian just hops up and lands upside fucking down!]

Y-young master Wei--!

[HE'S SO ALARMED for the few moments until he realizes this is fine, that he somehow doesn't seem to actually be upside down....? What? How does this place work?

Wen Ning very hesitantly reaches his hands out, with a little jump, and- yep, there he goes, also upside down and stumbling a bit on the landing, while he looks down (up?) at the space they just left.]

[NO, THEY'RE TRAIN.

Arggghh. Jiang Cheng hesitates for all of five seconds before the sword at his side comes zipping out again. Really, he thinks to get on and zoom off, but remembers he has a tag-along. So he reaches back and takes Xie Lian by the wrist.]
You said you've done this before, right? Hurry up. [He makes it look easy stepping up onto the flat of the sword, of all things, and his grip is pretty strong when he hefts Xie Lian up on Sandu, too.

Time to surf after a train!]

You're only proof Wei Wuxian doesn't know when to stop meddling with the crooked path. Did he finally succumb to his guilty conscience? He looked for a way to somehow return you to life?

[Almost to himself as he stomps along:] What price did he have to pay for that?! [Stupid--stupid weird realm. Why is Wen Ning HERE, and for what purpose?! He's losing it.]
decryptic: (clouds came and covered the sun)

Holograms? No big deal.

[ He says this with an airy smugness as he waves his hand and conjures four holographic screens in front of him. They display atmospheric and self-analytic data, as well one screen dedicated to a statistical profile on Kano himself. ]

What, are you on her bad side already? What did you do?
goldenrepair: (38)

[personal profile] goldenrepair 2020-01-15 05:40 am (UTC)(link)
[Listen, sometimes you're trying to be a good boy and your temper gets the best of you. A lot. But Jiang Cheng is as stubborn as he is prideful, and he doesn't stop following after Kara.]

You're a servant? [WEH WUSHYAN and all that.] Is your master here, too? I haven't seen any of the Jiang disciples here.
deadened: (71)

[personal profile] deadened 2020-01-15 05:47 am (UTC)(link)
It really wasn't him!

[If he could return people to life, would he have started with me? slips out without him realizing, and the chains attached to his ankles jangle behind him as he tries to keep up with Jiang Cheng's stompy pace.

-he really can't go forever without knowing Wei Wuxian is here, though, and Wen Ning has a way to keep him updated about where Jiang Cheng is without tipping him off, so:]


H-he was... just as surprised as me, to find that I was living.

[ Wha— What are these stats? Like Kano's given name— that's not Gel-P, and not Kano either— or the fact that he's physically weak in all areas, given the fact he could barely lift a spare leg... Kano's intrigued, stepping up to look all this over while bodily trying to block anybody else from seeing any of it, including 9S if he hasn't already snooped around. ]

Mm... Nothing? I just sorta like, existed in front of her. Acted as normal, you know?

[ Kano was just being himself, and he pissed Shinobu off. It really couldn't be helped. ]

You know what, don't play like an idiot, Wei Wuxian!

[He's going to start windmilling his arms in two seconds, and they are going to destroy Not Costco with their horrendous sibling fight.] You and everyone else--and me! It's--in my head! I can hear you! Stay out of it! Do you want to die? [Trauma is in there. My tw1st3d mind DO NOT ENTER!! LEAVE!!]

Nothing in this place makes any sense! [Trains, and guns, and automatic doors (which scared him, by the way), and lights, the lil sprinklers in the produce section that makes it rain inside.] It's... a dream! Or... I'm dead! What were you doing inside the temple for me to open the doors and die?!

[ Look, Wei Wuxian can have an amiable chat with their pillar friend and then Royce can stab them. Win-win. ]

What was the world you just came from like? Not your original one.
bywolves: (looking.)

[personal profile] bywolves 2020-01-15 06:00 am (UTC)(link)
Hm. [ Without thinking, he pushes his hood back so he can push his hair back out of his face - it's irritating him, he can't help it. Doing this, he accidentally reveals the crown tattoo that winds around his head, showing on his forehead. ]

It is strange. We don't have flying swords where I come from. Or people in unbreakable magic chains.
givethemhell: (huffy)

[personal profile] givethemhell 2020-01-15 06:02 am (UTC)(link)
[He doesn't have to play like an idiot if he is an idiot!!!!! Also wow yeah they really are, this is why brothers shouldn't be allowed anywhere. Look at the stupid siblings we have, we have chaos Kumou twins and Yunmeng dipshits.

Anyway that's enough to clue him in on what's happening and he's just WAVING A HAND.]


I didn't do that on purpose! It just happens sometimes. [But he doesn't even bother trying to explain since Jiang Cheng hasn't appreciated any of his other bad explanations so far!!]

It's not a dream and you're not dead. I don't know what I was doing in there either, since that hasn't even happened for me yet! I can guarantee that whatever it is wouldn't lead to this, though.

[How fuckin powerful does Jiang Cheng think he is, damn.]
givethemhell: (make you a star)

HE SUFFERS SO MUCH...

[personal profile] givethemhell 2020-01-15 06:04 am (UTC)(link)
[WEN NING IS GOING TO HAVE A HEART ATTACK BEFORE HE CAN EVEN REALLY ENJOY HIS NEW HEART.

Meanwhile Wei Wuxian is just grinning like a fool, as if he isn't causing Wen Ning so much stress just by existing.]


It's fine, it's fine! Walking like this is much more fun. Sometimes you can watch the trains pass by under you!
givethemhell: (reborn)

[personal profile] givethemhell 2020-01-15 06:04 am (UTC)(link)
[Vibrant sure is one way to put it... He's got an amused sparkle in his little demon eye.]

I have, yes! She's quite wonderful, isn't she? Almost killed me with a snowball once!

[DON'T SOUND SO HAPPY ABOUT IT.]

Our work is a little different- [Mostly because he is a demonic cultivator, it happens.] -but shares a few similarities, probably. Part of our job is to get rid of unruly beasts that wreak havoc.
givethemhell: (watson)

[personal profile] givethemhell 2020-01-15 06:04 am (UTC)(link)
Good, good! So then, I guess you probably won either way, haha. I didn't really jump, after all.

[He says from his new permanent home, the ground.]
givethemhell: (anime tch)

[personal profile] givethemhell 2020-01-15 06:04 am (UTC)(link)
Ooh, you're right! This thing is so heavy- [WHACKS THE WATERMELON FONDLY.] -that your guts would probably be pressed right out of you. What a terrible way to go!

[Still not as bad as being torn to pieces by zombies though probably.]
givethemhell: (ergh)

[personal profile] givethemhell 2020-01-15 06:04 am (UTC)(link)
[I HOPE HE STRIKES THE PINS THAT ARE SET UP because if he does he gets a little poof of confetti raining down on him, along with a brightly lit sign that flashes STRIKE!!! overhead.

Wei Wuxian will trot along after him in the gutter so he doesn't go slip-sliding...]


Ah... Are you alright?
givethemhell: (peons)

[personal profile] givethemhell 2020-01-15 06:05 am (UTC)(link)
[Yeah true best of both worlds right there.]

Nope! It was-- Mm, actually, I don't know what the world itself was? But we ended up in an area with three different kingdoms. Idoll... Holmshelm? Something like that? And one other... [HIS TERRIBLE MEMORY... Whatever though, not the point!! He waves his hand, pops the tiny little pretzel ball into his mouth and continues.]

There were a lot of political issues, problems with terrorists, your average battling-seats-of-power sort of thing. It was a very modern world, though! Most of us were athletes of some type, for some reason? Ah - that's another thing. Some people "adapted" better than others; they believed themselves to have lived in that world their entire life. Others just received a little prompting from our pillar friend letting us know the basics of our "lives" there. That's something to be ready for.

[It's a lot?? It's a lot.]

[personal profile] deadened 2020-01-15 06:11 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh, it's fancy... he's doing his best not to stare, but he is definitely looking at it curiously.]

Are those a common mark, where you're from...?

[Look, he can't help being curious in turn.]
bywolves: ✖ flurface (disheveled wut)

[personal profile] bywolves 2020-01-15 06:13 am (UTC)(link)
[ Oh wow, he hates the sound of that. All of it, from the political problems to the adjusting. ]

And I'm guessing I don't get to avoid being dragged to one of these worlds. [ Royce grouches. He pushes his hood back out of his face so he can grind at his eyes with the heels of his palms. All of this worlds-stuff gives him a headache. He keeps forgetting the reason he has the hood up in the first place. ] This is ridiculous. And of course it's just me.

[ Hadrian never has to go through weird soul gathering gauntlets. Why does Hadrian have the only bit of luck between the two of them? ]
