Has anyone visited the old castle? I've only visited it once before, but things have definitely changed - walls have been moved and there are piles of things.

[Hoards, he means.]

I think something is going to happen.

( [Private to Xue Yang & Runyu.] )

Please be careful everyone. If you feel unsure, I am happy to escort you.

inexorablejudgment

This may seem a peculiar question, I admit. I have found that not many share my sensitivity in such matters. How do people find the taste of the water in the region they have chosen to call home in comparison to other areas?

[It was really only a matter of time before he asked something like this.]

I tend to prefer the water in the winter segment overall, though spring would be a close second. While the freshness of the two is relatively comparable, the former has a far greater depth.

gentledawn

[There is heavy breathing beginning this stream, panicked and sharp, and the sound of ice crunching under quick steps. A howl punctuates the otherwise still air and the breathing hitches.]

Please... If anyone can hear me... I don't think I'm going to get away this time.

[Growling, unnervingly close, follows, rumbling in the throat of something...big.]

I'm sorry, A-Yang...A-Yu...

[And every friend he has made. There is a thud and then the sound of paws against snow. Xingchen yelps and then everything goes silent.]

[OOC: Responses will come after he is revived. He will be reborn form a giant moonflower in the flower yard.]

Zhou Zishu here and if you need help, don't wait. Things can get serious quickly; you might not get a chance to speak again.

[He is standing in a Winter landscape, the blade of his sword shining sharply, silver against white.]

Even if you face an army, I will come for you. I fear no beast and no man.

[He flicks said sword and with the ease of waving a fan, he decapitates an animated skeleton. The bones crumble to the snow, clicking together.]

disgracedprince

Does anyone know how to forge swords? I have one, but he's old and I don't want to push him with magic he hasn't encountered. A new one would be nice; one forged in this world and attuned to its peculiarities.

But I'm not terribly picky. I like all swords.

cloudgazes

Does anyone here know how to play shogi?

[ He thinks better with a game or two and he has a lot of things to figure out with his arrival here. ]

gentledawn

[He has been working on a project - one near and dear to his heart. Technology and having the right assistance has made his job easier, but in the end, he has pushed himself and his talents.

Or lack thereof. Resting on the table before him is an ink drawing of a handsome man in black. No, the image isn't of Xue Yang. Rather the face belongs to Song Lan.]

I want to wish everyone a happy Valentine's Day. Spend the day with your loved ones if you are able. And if you're not, find ways to remember them. My Zichen isn't here, but I enjoyed thinking about him as I drew this.

[He pats the art piece.]

( [Locked to Xue Yang & Runyu.] )

gentledawn

[Shivering and soaked to the bone, Xingchen is sitting before his fire and looking unhappy.]

I likely do not need to caution against walking or running on ice. I've learned my lesson the hard way.

[By falling through it. He brings his long hair over his shoulder and tries to dry it with a towel.]

Even if the ice looks sturdy, there could be thinner portions that crack under the slightest weight.

[Now he gets to spend time with his teeth chattering.]

How is everyone otherwise? I hope you've been well.

eternallywandering

I'm curious, how many in our number are aware of martial arts? Are there any who have achieved immortality?

[All of this is asked as Zishu flies - yes flies - over a Wintry landscape without wings. He lands, briefly, on a rooftop, and then leaps back into the open air.]

Considering what is being asked of us and what we might encounter, I was thinking about offering lessons. My experience is surely enough to qualify me, but if you have doubts, I will do my best to dissuade them.

politicallyinclined

(Padmé is sitting before a mirror, touching what look like...feathers?...in her hair. Feathers that are attached. They are pure white and so they definitely stand out against her dark curls.)

...this is new.

(She has seen others enjoying their animal forms, but this is...different, somehow.)

Does anyone recognize these feathers? I would like to be prepared if I turn into something shocking.

politicallyinclined

I was supposed to be going on my honeymoon. Now I know more about my future than I ever thought possible!

I'm used to problem solving and developing strategies to overcome obstacles, but there are things I find hard to swallow. I don't want to believe them and yet I must.

How do you overcome your fear? Your anxiety? I want to do what's right. Justice can seem cruel, yet what would we do without it?

I know I'm rambling and I truly have only one request of those reading: if one named Sheev Palpatine ever arrives, please let me, Padmé, know. It's urgent and crucial that you do so for the sake of my home galaxy.

[ The video cuts on to a man clearly in the middle of a sentence, he’s wearing all white and frowning a little bit. There is a small black bunny nestled in his lap, a hand resting upon its back gently. He’s looking towards the camera, but not directly at it - more so somewhere just above it. Perhaps he doesn’t know that it’s on yet. ]

-Ying, this is not necessary. You do not need to introduce me.

Of course it is, and I absolutely do! See? [ Wei Wuxian's voice is heard only briefly before he steps out in front of the camera to be by Lan Wangji's side, immediately looping an arm through his.] That little red light means it's already recording. I won't let you just back down now. What if something happened to me and someone needed to find you?

[ His companion thinks on those words for a moment, before making what seems to be a sound of agreement after coming to a conclusion. Then he makes a small bow to the camera as much as the rabbit at the other man’s grip allows. ]

I am Lan Wangji, husband to Wei Wuxian. If he is in trouble, or causes it, please let me know.

[ That earns an impressed look, but also a brightly amused laugh from Wei Wuxian. ]

You did it! Now that wasn't so bad, right? ♥

[ —but that's not all! ]

Like he said, he’s my husband, and only just arrived a few days ago, so it would be amazing to have people introduce themselves to him! He's super serious and a real fuddy-duddy, but also a great guy who should have some friends!

[ Lan Wangji casts his gaze to his husband at the laugh, then back to the phone. ]

Mn. Goodbye.

[ He reaches over to turn it off. ]

I saw deer this morning! I thought about introducing myself to them. Would that be safe?

[He does have a stag form; surely he can make use of it and frolic with a cute herd?]

Then again, if I caught the attention of another male, that could be troublesome.

[Sparring with another stag wouldn't end well for him. It's not like he would want to hurt a cute deer.]

Has anyone introduced their animal self to other creatures?

turneditin

Soooo... I have a few questions! Sort of like "polls". You know, those where you find out what's popular? I heard about it during the mall opening. Anyway...!

[She's smiling very happily as she starts making the questions.]

First, what's your favorite District so far? Mine's definitely Solarpeak for the beach and just the general, joyous atmosphere! It's really fun. Though I do like Dayrise, too. It's great for relaxing baths.

Second, what's your favorite way of showing affection? Or, you know, meeting the "touch" requirement? I will always answer HUGS! Because hugs are the best. I will hug anyone who needs it! Just let me know.

[Is this an offer she will regret? No. She won't go regretting something like hugs. Pfft!]

My final question is a bit more personal, but what are dragons to you?

paddra_nsu_yeul

I've begun to wonder...

How many people are accustomed to traveling through time? There doesn't seem to be many by my estimate, but I might be mistaken.

(She pivots to a lighter topic, feeling a little nervous. She really has no desire to see the next century or the one after that - unless there will be no interruption in her current lifespan.)

My paintings will be featured in a museum. Some of them anyway. The rest I am keeping. I believe I will meet my friends again and the paintings will help me remember them.

sweetaspie

alright so

we're clearly all stuck here for a while and have to live and get jobs if we wanna survive. whatever, i can work within whatever system they think they have me in

my big question is: who's ear do we have to whisper into in order to have someone else pulled in? it looks like death's not a barrier for them and i bet if you give a description to someone they should be able to grab them, right?

or is that something i'll have to save money for. that wouldn't surprise me either.

if anyone's asked, let me know.

katsuking

[Well here's an ominous question for everyone:]

Do you think it's possible to cheat death?

nightimmortal

[ A new face appears, but there are glimmers of fury in the slight narrow cant of dark eyes and the set of his lips. Still, Runyu inclines his head, just a little - lashing out without thought is something he won't do. Never again. ]

The powers of those who brought us all here must indeed be great. Even more so for their requirements to keep us complacent and healthy.

With that in mind, I have some healing ability. If any are in need that this requirement has not seen to, I offer myself to see about helping.

Feel free to call for me should you have such a need. I am Runyu. Speak, I will hear you.
