( 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.

[ ah.

xie lian gives lan wangji a smile: it's sheepish, and he reaches up to touch his cursed shackle. ]
You're very kind, but that would be impossible.

[ there's no removing this thing even by godly might. only jun wu could take it off of him, and xie lian...can't remember why he has it right now, but he knows he has it for a reason. xie lian's gotten around for 800 years without his insane spiritual powers, so he doesn't need them here, either.....

so!!! clapping his hands together. ]
Please don't worry yourself. Shall we go?

[Well, it's not like it's the first time he's run across something like this (someone please help Wen Ning), so he accepts the denial without protest. It's not his place to argue.

Instead, he simply nods, stepping back and turning around to lead the way.

Food and water are the first things he mentioned, but considering the nature of Notsco, Lan Wangji's figuring it'll probably be best to start with clothes. He can at least see the logic in copious amounts of victuals, but no one needs a bajillion articles of the same piece of clothing, so he's operating on the assumption that Xie Lian will want to get rid of the rest. (Probably a FOOLISH AND NAIVE thought but listen let him have faith)

Off they go, then, back into the store! Despite clearly wearing the exact same outfit he arrived in, Lan Wangji seems to know where he's going, and leads the way without hesitation. PLEASE DON'T GET DISTRACTED BY SHINY THINGS, XIE LIAN.]

[ poor wen ning. someone save him.

luckily, xie lian doesn't seem immediately distracted. he's a lot shorter than lan wangji, so he has to hustle to keep pace with him properly, and trying to take everything in all at once is leaving him not quite overwhelmed, but absolutely curious. there are so many massive boxes of... things. things xie lian doesn't even recognize. clothes? shoes? food? what. ]


...this is amazing. [ he eventually decides on, tearing himself away from a huge display of bread to scurry after lan wangji. ] I'm very glad to have a guide. Is this -- really, this is all for the taking? It's nice there's so much left. People are so kind.

[ are they, xie lian... are they... ]

["Amazing" sure is one word for it... it just makes Lan Wangji kind of tired, honestly?? He's seen too much chaos happen here.]

The items may only be taken in large sizes or quantities. [IT'S SO WASTEFUL... he doesn't like it... but he dutifully leads Xie Lian over towards the accessories anyway. He's specifically heading for scarves, because of the snow, but there are ties nearby too, as well as various accessories shining and glittering across the way.] But that is the only stipulation we know of.

[personal profile] dianxias 2020-01-16 01:49 am (UTC)(link)
En, I see. [ large quantities. xie lian hums, tapping his finger gently against the tip of his own nose, thoughtfully. ]

That's a good thing, isn't it? Even if we take one, that means there's plenty more to share. [ smiling!! ] That makes up a bit for just taking things for free, I think. There are always people in need somewhere.
souheki: (thumbs up)

[personal profile] souheki 2020-01-16 03:45 am (UTC)(link)
Mm.

[That's mostly what he's been trying to do, honestly... anything he does take (which isn't much, compared to some people and their 5000 flamingo sweaters) he tries to make sure he can either store for later use, or give away (usually via someone shameless enough to accost random people with them, a.k.a. Wei Wuxian). It's not the best solution, but it's something.

Not to mention--]


I have never seen a shortage of stock. [The store literally never seems to run out of anything, ever... IT'S SOME KIND OF FUNKY MAGIC GOING ON HERE but there's definitely no need to worry about taking things from the less fortunate around here.]

[personal profile] dianxias 2020-01-16 10:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah... incredible. [ sounds like the feasts of the heavens. not that xie lian really has spent much time up there yet that he remembers... his first ascension was a lot of fussing over xian le until he just decided "fuck it" and went down anyway.

but, still!! a place with magical, replenishing food stock! this could solve so many problems! xie lian can eat so many snacks!! peering around lan wangji, he spots a package of scarves and perks, deftly stepping around him to pull up one and peer at the packaging. there are at least twenty in there, in a multitude of colors. ]
Let's see, let's see.. pink, blue, purple...ah! There's a white one. [ !!!

he turns back to his companion and offers him a smile. ]
Will you share with me? This would be perfect.
souheki: (married loser smile)

[personal profile] souheki 2020-01-18 04:24 am (UTC)(link)
[PLEASE EAT HEALTHY SNACKS XIE LIAN please support him in his boring food agenda... share his stash of baby carrot sticks... pls

Xie Lian seems to know what he's looking for, though, so Lan Wangji stands back and allows him to rummage as he likes. He's constantly on alert to some degree, despite how calmly he's standing around (thanks OP Male Lead stats), but fortunately no one's causing chaos in their vicinity at the moment, so he's able to wait patiently.

He thinks about it seriously for a minute, as if he's considering potential uses for a multitude of scarves, before he nods once.]


Thank you. [Even if he didn't ask for these, it's still a polite gesture deserving of gratitude!

Before they get anything else, though, they should probably get something to carry the rest of their things in. PRESUMABLY THERE ARE CARTS but that would be too easy so now they have to go hunt down a box.]


Carrying containers are nearby.

[ he would love baby carrot sticks. :( he also eats garbage, so is he the best judge of taste? but it would be nice to have a friend to share with, so there's that...!

xie lian hugs the package of scarves to his chest, relieved. that's very helpful! ]
I'm sure we can find a use for the rest of these. In a pinch, it might make a nice bandage!

[ what are you doing that requires bandages.

...anyway. he nods at the carrying containers, too, gesturing politely for lan wangji to lead the way. ]
souheki: (wwx fanart)

[personal profile] souheki 2020-01-20 03:40 am (UTC)(link)
[Look, he just came back from Magic Terrorists world, okay, he's not going to question the bandages. Sometimes you can't use spiritual power to heal people either, you just never know!!

ALSO PLEASE DON'T EAT GARBAGE XIE LIAN WHAT THE HECK.

But once he's ready, Lan Wangji will lead him over to the... who even knows with this store. The home furniture section?? IKEA AND COSTCO COMBINED?? Whatever THE POINT IS there are some baskets over here, round or square, that are probably meant to be used for decoration and/or laundry. Whatever, they'll work. There's a decent variety; Lan Wangji himself collects two, one for each hand. With that done, he looks back at Xie Lian, contemplative.]


Food preferences?

[don't say garbage]
dianxias: (55)

[personal profile] dianxias 2020-01-26 10:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Anything is fine.

[ not the best answer in the world, but again, xie lian will literally eat garbage. he takes a basket of his own, pressing it to his hip, and looks among the giant walls and walls of food. ] ....Though to be honest, I don't think I recognize many things here. You must be more educated than this humble one, young master. Is there anything you'd prefer?
souheki: (watermelon)

[personal profile] souheki 2020-01-27 03:48 am (UTC)(link)
[Heh, isn't that relatable. In truth, Lan Wangji doesn't know much about all these modern foods either, because he promptly located the produce section and just sort of lives there... where he more-or-less recognizes the food... that's also where he'll start leading Xie Lian, because he needs fellow healthy eaters around here.]

Mostly greens, and other vegetables. Some fruits. [(shinobu voice) sir have you ever tried anything new, ever] I am from the Cloud Recesses, in Gusu.

[Even if it doesn't sound familiar to Xie Lian, just his appearance and the fact that it's called "the cloud recesses" probably explains a lot...]
