( 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.

[It's strange. On one hand, Jiang Cheng feels a kind of flare of superior, awful pride at hearing the news. Wen Ning doesn't have a core, even if the flesh is soft and supple and alive again. On the other hand, Jiang Cheng also understands the hopeless, defeated weight of a core being gone.

He's not sure if he should be smug or sympathetic, so he's, annoyingly, both.]


So you'll do nothing but get in the way.

[ It's a good thing he doesn't ask, then. ]

Are the cooking supplies near the dried fruit or the underpants...?

[ From Kano's limited experience with Costcos, he never knows where anything is and you just sort of wander aimlessly and by happenstance or miracle sometimes you find what you're looking for, eventually. It's like every time he enters this store, everything's been moved around aside from the very few staples that is the pastry section and the rotisserie chicken in the far far far ends of the store. ]

It certainly brings a sort of relief to know we won't have to worry about such.

[ you know. outside of the worry of gods, why are there so many people here and where the heck are the ones who should be working in the first place? ]

I certainly would not want to imagine the difficulties of dealing with the sheer scope of the items here.

[ tfw cleanup on aisle 3 is probably less a mop job and more of a water pump/vacuum combo ]

[ you know one even wonders if space costco is even similar to regular costco. for one, the things they sell certainly have a stranger variety. obi-wan hums, glancing up to the probable signs hanging above them and just wanders away. THIS WAY, it seems ]

[ Pick a direction and walk, that's the way to do it and nobody can say he's going the wrong way until it's three hours later and they've walked for so long, they can't remember what they're even looking for. ]

...I wonder if there's some manager's office we can ransack for a floor map. This seems like the kinda place that'd have a floor map, right?

[ three hours, a shopping cart full of stuff you don't need, and thirty free samples later is more like it ]

I would think so. However, I've yet to come across one in my searching. This place seems to have well hidden it within the massive space.

[ thus wandering it is ]

[ That's how it is... They have to feed you or you'll collapse from starvation from wandering too long before you can make it out of the store.

Kano tilts his head up to look around the ceiling for any visible security cameras or the sort, but even though he spots them, he has to wonder whether there's really nobody around that gives a crap what they're all doing. There was no "cleanup in aisle 3204985!" when the crates of tea spilled over, after all, and he's done similar minor damage to the store without anybody coming to storm in and march him out.

They pass by a 70 pound bag of rice, several containers of motor oil, a grand piano, a display made of 52 different brands of soda cans... ]


...I'm starting to think it'll be easier just to find someone who can make fire. I know a guy, but I never got his name. How 'bout you? Got any matches on you? A blowtorch?

[ She pouts, although it's not as strong a reaction as the over the top dramatics from earlier. ]

Don't just tell a cute girl that straight to her face. [ But between the stuff earlier and now this, she's figured out he's just the type of person to say it anyway. It doesn't really seem to bother her. ] At least keep it at 'a little weird'! What am I supposed to do if I'd really be called a complete weirdo so easily, huh? That'd make both of us total weirdos.

[personal profile] suddenlybees 2020-01-16 08:05 pm (UTC)(link)
[ That's how it is, and Kano cracks up laughing. ]

What's there to do? If taking on the mantle is what makes us total weirdos, there's nothing to it~

[ He sets the handtruck back upright and sets a foot down behind the wheel so so he kick off on it and ride it like a scooter. He gets maybe two feet at a time, doing it like this, and motions for Minako to get back on once he's back. ]

Let's go find some stars in the store.

[ she's sure they'll find stickers it's fine ]
twitter: (And the universe said I love you.)

[personal profile] twitter 2020-01-16 09:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Hm... possibly.

[ if she's here then they definitely could be ]
twitter: (Universe in its head. Flecks of energy.)

[personal profile] twitter 2020-01-16 09:10 pm (UTC)(link)
They definitely would. If they don't go invisible.

[ then they'd be doing the opposite ]

[personal profile] twitter 2020-01-16 09:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Uh huh! And don't worry about being scared, we're here for you! Exploring is a lot more fun when you're together.

[ this is like an after school special ]

... we just got sucked into a competition because a bunch of gods couldn't settle an argument between themselves.

[personal profile] bakaomi 2020-01-16 09:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Uh... no problem.

[ wow how... polite... ]
bakaomi: (if i died we'd be together now)

[personal profile] bakaomi 2020-01-16 09:16 pm (UTC)(link)
... yeah.

[ figures ]

Just don't get too ahead of yourself.
givethemhell: (that's how it goes)

[personal profile] givethemhell 2020-01-16 09:34 pm (UTC)(link)
[And he's over here looking surprised, because he sure hasn't heard that one before!]

Hah! You're right, it's really nothing alike at all. Well - how many things here are familiar to you?
givethemhell: (curiouser still)

[personal profile] givethemhell 2020-01-16 09:34 pm (UTC)(link)
[He almost misses the left turn and narrowly avoids crashing into a shelf BUT IT'S GOOD, he recovers... and continues to follow...]

Mm, I see, I see! So they shouldn't be too hard to find, especially if they're labeled. Are you looking for any one in particular?

[MORE ISEKAI ADVENTURES INDEED THOUGH. Wei Wuxian nods, hopping off the cart so he can focus more on talking without risk of running into anything.]

Right - presumably we'll be going to another one soon, too. We don't spend all of our time in this space, after all! As nice as the store and airport may be, being here for weeks and weeks with nothing else to do would drive almost anyone up a wall, I'd say.
givethemhell: (birdsong)

[personal profile] givethemhell 2020-01-16 09:34 pm (UTC)(link)
[Don't be disturbed by his cute little papermen, wow!! One waves at him.]

Not always.

[FORTUNATELY FOR HIM they'll stop moving on their own after a few hours so it ain't no big thing either way. Just a few hours of dealing with these lil dudes being pests...]

It doesn't bother you, does it?
givethemhell: (finger mustache)

[personal profile] givethemhell 2020-01-16 09:35 pm (UTC)(link)
[SOMETIMES you just look at the weird shit life throws at you and you nod and go "yep". He laughs a little at her reaction though, he can't help it...]

There are plenty of things to eat, don't worry about that! And everything is free. The stock never runs out so you don't have to worry about starving or working while you're here! As for sleeping... [Hm that's a good question honestly HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE SLEEPING IN THE BEDDING SECTION OF COSTCO...]

—Well! I've been sleeping in a train compartment. Can't speak for everyone else.
givethemhell: (reborn)

[personal profile] givethemhell 2020-01-16 09:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Everything about this place is questionable, so matching questionable efficiency only makes sense, yes? The giant fruits and vegetables are fun, at least!

[Fun to log roll on.]
givethemhell: (finger mustache)

[personal profile] givethemhell 2020-01-16 09:36 pm (UTC)(link)
[WHAT IN THE FCK KIND OF DEATH.]

We'll be careful, then! Don't worry, don't worry.

[How does one "be careful" with a watermelon of this size... Good lord. TIME TO FIND OUT, as he gently ("gently") starts trying to nudge it.]

[They're the nightmare Ms. Frizzle no one ever wanted or needed in their lives.]

Mm, three's a crowd! You never have to worry about getting lost with three people! [Then, in a stage whisper to Hajime:] Do you think it's working?
suddenlybees: (320)

[personal profile] suddenlybees 2020-01-16 09:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Alright, let's go~!

[ Time to scour the store for stickers. If there aren't any golden holographic stars, there'll probably price discount stickers or sell by date stickers on some of the food they can carefully peel off to collect and later stick on people's foreheads. ]

man i fucked up all the html on these tags LOL

[ wn just now got to not be dead let's not kill him already!!! between xl and wwx.....

xie lian nods, tapping his hand against his fist. ]
Right. Then let's get to it! [ which means he'll walk comfortably at wen ning's pace so they can walk side by side! ]
