( 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 only fair, you know?
She picks up a handful of snow. ]
Please open your eyes and pay your respects to me.
[ Didn't she just say he wasn't about to die? ]
no subject
[HE'LL JUST VOICE THOSE BRACKETS. And while he does pull his arm away from his eyes, he does not have any respects to pay to her just yet.]
If I should be paying respects to anyone right now, it should be the goddess of mercy. [Cupping his hand around his mouth and YELLING AT THE SKY:] If you're listening, I could really use some help now! I'll light incense at your altar every day for the next month if you spare me a crumb of compassion!
no subject
Shinobu's smile is firmly in place, and she holds her hands directly above Wei Wuxian's face before dropping all that snow over him, a light powdery snow fall instead of a hard snowball.
It's a slice of compassion. ]
As I said, you aren't going to die. All you had to do was stand before me and apologize, Wei-san. Does it make you feel better to cause trouble for others?
no subject
Ah... I see! I'm not very much a fan of thank yous or sorries, but I can spare one for you. [A sorry in jest for this entire stupid shenanigan festival, god.
As for the question, with a shameless grin:] I have been told by more than a few people that I seem to cause trouble wherever I go, somehow! How strange.
no subject
But what he says is curious, and she crouches down next to him, angling her head to look directly at him. ]
How strange of you to act like you don't know how you behave. Why don't you care for thank you or sorry? Where is the harm?
[ She assumes he must have had some kind of experience because for all the trouble he causes and grief he gives, she can tell he has a good heart when it matters. ]
no subject
Also god she sure does like just being there, existing in people's spaces. Sharing bubbles. He's careful not to whack her as he throws his arm dramatically across his forehead yet again!]
Words of ill omen! People say them, bad things happen!
[He says it lightly but, haha. Sometimes it really be like that.]
But it's true that there are some situations where you have to spit them out no matter what. I hope the most gracious maiden Shinobu can forgive a poor, humble, well-meaning man whose snowball happened to slip from his hand...?
[Just bury him under 50 feet of snow and leave him to perish.]
no subject
She smiles at his controlled theatrics even though she was prepared to dodge any histrionics. ]
I'll forgive you if you'll consider telling me a story or two about what's turned you away from polite words said in polite company.
[ If only there were 50 feet of snow to bury him with. ]
no subject
Of course! I'll start with the worst one - I said "thank you" to a vendor for sparing me by giving me some potatoes that hadn't sprouted yet. All well and good, right? Even though I'd been fighting for those potatoes without sprouts for so long. An entire hour, practically! But that's neither here nor there. Anyway, long story short, I went home and cut open those potatoes and... they were all rotten! Every single one! How's that for a curse? Awful!
[HE'S SO TORN UP OVER HIS POTATOES and dramatically rolls to his side.]
no subject
Please stand up. If you stay in the snow too long, you'll get sick.
[ Is she ignoring his potato story? Unfortunately, after a pause, she adds: ]
It's only a curse if that happens multiple times.
no subject
Yes, yes - it happened many times! Almost every single time I got potatoes from that vendor! In hindsight, I probably should have gone to a different vendor after the second or third flopped batch...
[Woe is he, doomed to bad potatoes forever.]
no subject
[ That seems like the most straightforward reason for his potato woes. ]
Or that seller doesn't have any pride in his goods.
no subject
[A huff! It's not like he just said he spent an hour haggling or anything, it's fine.]
He just thought he could get away with playing me for a fool. Maybe I just have one of those faces...
no subject
[ How many times did he go back to get rotten potatoes? Fool him once, shame on the vendor. Fool him twice, shame on him. Fool him thrice or more? There's no helping him. ]
Please think about buying potatoes from someone else, no matter who's at fault.
no subject
[WHAT A LOOK OF DETERMINATION... He fails to mention that this bartering (all One Single Instance of it) happened like, 13 years ago, and he's never been back to the city it occurred in since.]
no subject
There is futility in some actions. It may serve you to learn about it.
no subject
Mmm... I suppose I can spare a little consideration for your kind advice.
no subject
[ Even if Lan Wangji can't speak to the veracity of Wei Wuxian's story, he would at least be concerned about Wei Wuxian getting multiple spoiled potatoes. At least, that's the feeling Shinobu gets when she seems them together from a distance and after talking to Lan Wangji once or twice. ]
no subject
Ah, Lan Zhan, that Lan Zhan. He worries enough to make up for anyone in the world who doesn't! I'll turn around one day and every single hair on his head will have gone grey.
[It's easy to tell he's fond in everything from his expression to tone to the actual words he speaks... Gross.]
no subject
That would be quite the stark contrast. [ She sounds amused. ] Wouldn't most of them be because of you?
no subject
[How he can even manage to say these bold and obvious lies with literally zero shame is a true feat in and of itself.]
no subject
[ :) ]
no subject
Me? A lie has never blackened my tongue so much as even once in my entire life!
no subject
Of course, of course. You may continue to be like this at your own expense. I've received your insincere apology, and that will be enough for me today.
no subject
Either way, with a laugh and a wave:]
Thank you! This humble cultivator will remember your divine mercy for days to come!
[He's also immediately turning to flee after a polite little bow, just in case she changes her mind. MAKING A BEELINE FOR LAN WANGJI BYE.]
no subject
the only thing that follows his retreat is this ]
