( 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.

A bit. [ that makes xie lian chuckle, imagining it. ruoye would be terribly cute as a cat, wouldn't it. ] You're exactly right, but it tends to cling to me when it's afraid. I've had it for...mm, eight centuries or so.

[ A Long Time. ] I'm not sure where to look beyond here.

Spontaneity's all well and good, but being prepared for retaliation can keep you alive.

[that's too dramatic for

pillows]

[CHRIST HE'S GONNA DIE yeah the snowball absolutely hits his feet and he goes sprawling into the ankle-deep snow with an inelegant squawk. As he USELESSLY TRIES TO SCRAMBLE TO SAFETY:]

MERCY!! Mercy, mercy—!! I changed my mind! I don't need help after all!! I'm actually so far from needing help that I should be the one helping other people!!
crudest: (♚ i'm just fckin tired)

[personal profile] crudest 2020-01-13 02:00 am (UTC)(link)
I did and I'm not taking it back, no matter how much you ask.

[Yea.

Really.]


Anyway - pillows.

[Especially if that soul has now gone missing and was problematic to start— should they be worried... does he want to concern himself with this...]

It’s your own ability. You don’t understand it?

[She just said she didn’t.]

Who’s J.J.?
doublesmall: (and i don't have the right)

[personal profile] doublesmall 2020-01-13 02:01 am (UTC)(link)
...Not here. I have a niece back home, but I haven't seen the rest of my family in-- shit, a few years, I guess. My city was pretty much blocked off from everything else.

[He shrugs slightly, waving a hand. It's fine, it's fine.]

Nothing to be sorry about, anyway, it's been this way for a while. Just-- a little weird not to have anyone else from home around.
glooming: (NCGZPmW)

[personal profile] glooming 2020-01-13 02:01 am (UTC)(link)
Me, too.

[ So how much should she believe? She gives one last look at the marble slab and tucks her notebook away somewhere. ]

We're okay.

[huh. . . well. that's different]

Not quite your style? Or is it the color?
ittoryu: (g - sigh.)

[personal profile] ittoryu 2020-01-13 02:01 am (UTC)(link)
A man on a mission! Well, if that slab was telling the truth, then at least time should be stopped. Still, I know how you feel.

Haven't seen a way back yet, though...

[personal profile] lightmage 2020-01-13 02:02 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, right. My apologies.

[ Normally she'd be a little more uptight about being polite, but look. Things are weird, and also manners clearly aren't that important to her since he was propositioning her before even learning her name. So it's fine! ]

Luxanna Crownguard. It's a pleasure to meet you.
crudest: (♚ don't wannaaaaa)

[personal profile] crudest 2020-01-13 02:02 am (UTC)(link)
Oh I don't know, would you prefer a memory of being carted off by a giant monster and then carried across the sky?

[He just keeps casually swinging on his hammock.

He apparently got snacks though, so he's going to toss a little package of fruit snackies at Itaru, who did not ask for them.]

It is, isn't it? I hear it takes decades to master the hieroglyphs.

[Akira it isn't very nice to tease a new guy]

[ just normal girl things ]

Oh, n-no, it's just... They've replaced something of mine with this, and... I don't know that I want what they've given me.
ittoryu: (sprite - surprised.)

[personal profile] ittoryu 2020-01-13 02:03 am (UTC)(link)
Eight centuries!? [a beat.] Well, sir, you look amazing for your age, I have to say!

... Maybe it's lost? Or stuck in a crevice somewhere?
crudest: (♚ mmmmfuck?)

[personal profile] crudest 2020-01-13 02:03 am (UTC)(link)
[Baren is going to just

Act like he didn't do it and also look surprised!!]


Whoa - bad dream?
ittoryu: (sprite - show off.)

[personal profile] ittoryu 2020-01-13 02:04 am (UTC)(link)
Oh? Are you expecting a surprise attack?

Very Generic Merchants.

[ She's very straight-faced when she says that.

If she didn't pay for them, she can't really call them hers. ]

Who decides the factions? What does it mean to be assigned to a faction?
ittoryu: (official - 4-stars.)

[personal profile] ittoryu 2020-01-13 02:05 am (UTC)(link)
[he nods.]

Mm-hmm! We're standing here and talking, aren't we? And as long as we're capable of looking for a solution, we'll be fine.
ittoryu: (f - smile.)

[personal profile] ittoryu 2020-01-13 02:06 am (UTC)(link)
The pleasure is all mine, Luxanna! Shigure of the Itto-ryu.

At the very least it rules out it being some sort of Godly prank or magic illusion.

[ Probably. ]
doublesmall: (i wanna make up my mind)

[I'm losing it because Chuuya is BASICALLY THE SAME HEIGHT so like. she can definitely look him in the eyes as she does this and I'm crying about it...

He doesn't quite prepare for FISTICUFFS though, because he's too busy being confused? What the hell is she talking about- filters through as he frowns, brow furrowing.]


Look, that's all I know about it, okay? I know somebody gave them to me, I just-- don't know who the fuck it was!

[And it's incredibly frustrating, honestly, why don't I know something like that-- he shakes his head at the thought.

--and then a pause, as he peers at her a little harder.]


Wait, don't I know you though?

[not remembering baren and her different outfit makes her harder to place immediately, but rec!chuuya definitely met npc-okuni... time for things to get weirder.]

[ah. his smile is crooked, but understanding and sympathetic. he thinks he kind of knows what she's talking about, if the sudden appearance of a strange marking on the inside of his own right wrist a few weeks ago is any indication]

Sorry. . . that does suck.

I wonder if there's a way to get it back. . .?

There's no reason to believe what that thing said.

[ he's still a little angry it says he's broken!! ]

[THANKS FOR IMMEDIATELY EVALUATING HIM BAREN... not that Lan Wangji seems to mind much. He simply considers Baren's words, with the background of it's what I'd do adding weight to his words. The speed and confidence of his response makes it clear that either Baren is very good at quick thinking, or he's been sitting in here for a while--but regardless, Lan Wangji's answer would be the same anyway.]

It is still worth investigating.

[It's kind of his job, especially if people are in danger.]
