( 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.

Winner gets a prize! You can pick what you'd like and I'll pick something, too.

[THE PRIZE IS GOING TO BE CASTS FOR THEIR BROKEN BONES.]

[ittoryu]

[STOP SHIGURE HAS ENOUGH INJURIES FROM JUMPING OFF TRAINS IN THIS NEBULOUS RP TIMELINE]

Hahaha, interesting! All right!

[givethemhell]

[WHAT'S ONE MORE BROKEN BONE ON AN ALREADY LONG LIST OF SPRAINS AND BREAKS!!]

Ah— There it is, up there! [They're zoomin toward a distant platform...! Notsco rises ominously behind it.] Are you ready?

[ittoryu]

[i hate this]

Of course!

[givethemhell]

On the count of three, then!

[Does he not realize that he can't jump if Shigure is holding onto him...]

[ittoryu]

[yeah uh]

I believe it'll be on my count no matter what, my friend!

[givethemhell]

Ah, right, you have a point.

[WHAT WAS HE EVEN PLANNING ON DOING WHEN HE REACHED THREE.]

On your count it is, then!

[ittoryu]

All right! One, two, three—!

[does he have to like throw wei wuxian or something]

[givethemhell]

[Yeah just fuckin frisbee him into the middle distance it's fine. He'll yell the entire time he's flying majestically through the void and yell even louder whenever he crashes into the void pavement/roof/side of the building/however far Shigure's demon arms can actually chuck him.]

[ittoryu]

[do not make me responsible for wei wuxian's fate? also there's one demon here and it's not shigure?

anyway shigure will be following shortly ig. i still hate this.]

[givethemhell]

[WOW excuse you he is a demonic cultivator, not a demon!!

And now he's a demonic cultivator just landing in a heap after hitting the wall of Notsco. It's fine. What's a little concussion in an otherwise fun day??]

That's— really an arm you have on you, there...!

[ittoryu]

[everything is fine,,,]

H-Hahaha, I could not call myself a swordsman if I lacked strength...!

[givethemhell]

[SITTING UPRIGHT and immediately just lying back down again it's fine.]

I'd like to see your swordsmanship someday, if you have that kind of arm to wield with...!

[ittoryu]

Oh? Are you a warrior as well? [also—] ... I hope you didn't hit your head too hard there!

[though admittedly shigure has a shitty endurance stat so he's also going to flop]

[givethemhell]

Haha, not really! [He's a cultivator but that doesn't count for arm strength unless you're a Lan... it's fine. Anyway good work team, we're on the floor now.]

It was just a little bump, I'll be fine. But what about you?

[ittoryu]

Ha! It'd take more than that to bring me down.

[givethemhell]

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.]

[ittoryu]

Hm! We didn't think that part of the challenge through well, did we?

[they didn't think any part through]

[givethemhell]

[They REALLY DIDN'T.]

We can have a second match again later, then! [...] But maybe with a softer landing pad.

[ittoryu]

... Yes, maybe that would be better. [ow...] Well, it was still enjoyable!

[givethemhell]

It really was!

[He says while rolling over with a soft ow, ow, ow. God. Can't keep a good idiot down though, and after a few more seconds he's pushing himself upright again to make his way toward Shigure. Offering a hand!]

Good work, good work. We did cut down on the time it'd take us to get to the store otherwise, at least!

[ABSOLUTELY THEY DID NOT.]

[ittoryu]

[he takes it!]

Hahaha, that we did! Though a rather unorthodox shortcut.

[givethemhell]

[Up he goes! Helpfully, after patting his own robes free of dirt, Wei Wuxian reaches over to brush off Shigure's shoulders too.]

Unorthodox methods sometimes get you the best results!

[- Creator Of The Unorthodox Path, 2020]

[ittoryu]

[thanks bro]

You seem like you'd have experience in that!

[givethemhell]

Haha, you could certainly say that!

[BEAMING. It's fine. ANYWAY, NOW THAT THEY'RE HERE he just gestures toward the doors!!]

Well then, shall we?
