( 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.

[Wow funny thing about that... As she continues her downward climb, it might feel like the next thing she tries to set her foot on is, like. Moving?? FUNKY.

And then it just YOINKS OUT FROM UNDER HER like a carpet getting tugged. IF SHE WON'T JUMP SHE'S GONNA HAVE TO FALL!! Is she or is she just going to spiderman cling with her arms of steel...]

[personal profile] foodbin 2020-01-11 06:38 pm (UTC)(link)
[She's absolutely going to cling, making a sharp noise of surprise as she does. She's actually moving up a few rows to avoid whatever that may have been, but she glances down at him as she does.]

Did you see what that was?
givethemhell: (∑(゚ロ゚))

[personal profile] givethemhell 2020-01-12 12:52 am (UTC)(link)
[NOOO THAT'S NOT WHAT HE WANTED!! She might even pick up on the mental damn that flashes through his mind, but considering how well he schools his expression into one of Mild Concerned Panic, it probably fits the look.]

Ah— I didn't, but this might be a problem! This store has a bit of a ghost problem, you see - they don't act up very often, but when they do, it can get bad before you even blink. Hold tight, would you? I'll see if I can find anything to help get you down!

[personal profile] foodbin 2020-01-12 08:31 am (UTC)(link)
[She looks at him for another long moment.]

I'm good, thanks.
givethemhell: (misfortune)

[personal profile] givethemhell 2020-01-12 08:39 am (UTC)(link)
Are you sure? It's really no trouble!

[At around the same time he says "trouble", a big ol' pot to her left just gets wholeass pushed off the shelf, where it clatters loudly to the ground.]
foodbin: (pic#13146168)

[personal profile] foodbin 2020-01-13 03:22 am (UTC)(link)
Didn't you already say there wasn't a ladder? What would you even get?

[She says, as she kind of shimmies her way sideways across the shelves, away from the aforementioned pot.]
givethemhell: (is it even so)

[personal profile] givethemhell 2020-01-13 03:29 am (UTC)(link)
Boxes! Or bins. I can stack them and it should be easier for you to get down that way, right?

[As she shimmies her way sideways away from the pot, another pan closer to where she's moseying goes flying off the shelves, too... It's fine!]
foodbin: (pic#13146301)

[personal profile] foodbin 2020-01-13 03:36 am (UTC)(link)
That sounds like a disaster waiting to happen.

[ [shimmying intensifies] but downwards this time]
givethemhell: (uplift)

[personal profile] givethemhell 2020-01-13 04:05 am (UTC)(link)
[EMMAAA... BUT FINE. He'll just sigh, standing with his arms at the ready JUST IN CASE.]

The boxes here are quite sturdy! I've climbed up a few of them myself, since it's hard to reach the top shelves otherwise unless you just climb up the shelf. No one wants to see a footprint on their bag of flour, though.
foodbin: (pic#13146168)

[personal profile] foodbin 2020-01-13 04:52 am (UTC)(link)
If you want to go and get them, I can't stop you!

[Until then, she's just here being Stubborn.]
givethemhell: (have you heard?)

[personal profile] givethemhell 2020-01-13 05:09 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, that's true! Wait right there, then!

[AND OFF HE NYOOMS TO FIND BOXES TO CARRY BACK...

It'll take him a little while, but back he does trot, a stack of crates in his arms! How far down is she by now...]
foodbin: (pic#13146208)

[personal profile] foodbin 2020-01-13 05:16 am (UTC)(link)
[He turns the corner right as she gets to the second row from the ground and just hops down onto the floor. RIP his hard crate work.

As she notices him:]


...Oh, you made it.
givethemhell: (oh dear)

[personal profile] givethemhell 2020-01-13 05:27 am (UTC)(link)
[EMMAAA!!!!!!

Wei Wuxian pauses for a second and then groans in the most overdramatic way, setting down his armful of crates.]


After all of that work...! [EMMA.] Goodness... Well, at least you made it down alright. No other troubles along the way? How is your leg holding out?
foodbin: (pic#13146172)

[personal profile] foodbin 2020-01-13 05:45 am (UTC)(link)
Sorry.

[She does not sound sorry at all.]

Yeah. Funny, as soon as you left nothing else fell off the shelves at all. [suspicious!!] And my leg's fine.
givethemhell: (curiouser still)

[personal profile] givethemhell 2020-01-13 06:21 am (UTC)(link)
You could at least try for a little more sincerity, you know!

[WHINING AND GRIPING as if he didn't try to topple Emma from the shelf just moments ago. It's fine.]

Hah, well, I'm known for being a bit of a bad luck magnet, and I do deal with spirits for a living! [Ghostbusters... ANYWAY--] Are you certain? I can point you in the direction of one of our medics, if you need any help.
foodbin: (pic#13146163)

[personal profile] foodbin 2020-01-13 07:02 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I didn't really want to lie, so...

[She just gives him a Look when he says he deals with spirits for a living, before she moves on.]

Nah. I just got out of the hospital, so it should be fine until I can figure out how to get out of here.
givethemhell: (meet great change)

[personal profile] givethemhell 2020-01-13 07:18 am (UTC)(link)
[He just blinks innocently back at her. Soon she will know, it's fine.]

Right - about that! We're still working on finding a way out. Some of us have been here for a few weeks, maybe a little longer.

[Not making much progress, needless to say.]
foodbin: (pic#13146168)

[personal profile] foodbin 2020-01-14 10:24 pm (UTC)(link)
[After a few moments:]

Are you just all really bad with directions, or...?
givethemhell: (that's how it goes)

[personal profile] givethemhell 2020-01-14 11:16 pm (UTC)(link)
[Like, that isn't a bad assumption to make honestly.]

Oh, no! ...Well, maybe some of us? [He doesn't know how people live their lives.] But this is a store in a void.
foodbin: (pic#13146250)

[personal profile] foodbin 2020-01-17 12:26 am (UTC)(link)
...A store in a void.

[She looks at him for another moment, before she says, in a very gentle voice:]

Okay. That's nice. I'm gonna go, though, so catch you later?
givethemhell: (labor on that midnight wire)

[personal profile] givethemhell 2020-01-17 06:19 am (UTC)(link)
[She is really doing her best here and Wei Wuxian is absolutely not taking this seriously like he should when dealing with someone who is Freaked Out and freshly dumped into the void, god.]

Hm, will you actually listen to what I have to say if you go take a look for yourself?

[GO SEE THE VOID, STRANGE LADY!!]
foodbin: (pic#13146166)

[personal profile] foodbin 2020-01-22 10:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Yep, totally. We can talk about it the next time I see you.

[she's just gonna go awol]
givethemhell: (hello welcome home)

[personal profile] givethemhell 2020-01-23 01:23 am (UTC)(link)
[YEAH HE DOESN'T BELIEVE THAT AT ALL, but he'll just give her a friendly wave.]

Next time indeed! All of the trains go to the same place sooner or later, after all.

[As normal trains do, you know.]

Good luck, miss!
