Soft. Warm. Cozy.
The beep of the Watch is gentle, a considerately low sound when rousing newly arrived wildcards while a small vibration tickles the wrist. Satin sheets slide with the lazy stretch of legs. Bedding shuffles. The room is a comfortable temperature but … for some reason, it’s maybe a touch too warm? And cramped?
As characters rouse from their slumber (or otherwise blink into awareness) they will find that they are now in a shitty resort room. They have been temporarily allocated a rank 2 suite. These suites are small and the twin bed takes up the majority of the space inside. Walkable area is minuscule. There is no decor or window. All characters are naked, wearing only a white terrycloth robe knotted at the waist. No details are given other than the above message and a follow-up message explaining GAME 52.
But perhaps that’s not the most alarming part.
They’re not alone.
All characters will find themselves waking up in pairs. Not only have they woken up in an entirely unknown place, they are pressed up against and/or are cuddling what may potentially be a total stranger. Even if a pair is lucky enough to know one other ... pretty awkward waking up together like this, isn't it?
Due to holiday overbooking all characters are required to share a room while the backlog of reservations are processed. Some of these rank 2 suites may even have three temporary residents if you’re feeling spicy.
The resort is truly sorry that they overbooked during the holiday season. This is unprecedented. They have never before seen the house bring in so many new guests at once. Without even a heads up for the staff. It’s like being middle management isn’t worth it! For the sake of avoiding headaches and customer complaints, wildcards will find that each room has an included a gift basket as an apology for the inconvenience.
Wildcards that explore outside will find staff running around like frenzied hens. These employees will encourage wildcards to go wash up in the bathroom, a communal space with plenty of free supplies for newcomers. The communal bathroom is a clean area with multiple open showers, sinks, and water closets. Wildcards will find shelves stocked with basic toiletries and clean towels. They will also find other general bathroom amenities available for use like hair dryers, face masks, scrub brushes, combs, razors, toothbrushes, q-tips, and so on.
All facilities inside the communal bathroom aside from the toilets are open concept and there is no separation based on gender (or anything else). Everyone is expected to share.
Some of the staff will pity these poor new guests that have had their reservations pushed out. They will show characters the way to one of the small supply closets that are used by cleaning staff. The closet is small but fully stocked with linens, extra toiletries, pillows, robes, slippers, and yellow Golden Peacock tracksuits in a full range of sizes. They will encourage wildcards to take whatever they want before running off again.
But those that aren’t careful might find themselves in an interesting predicament.
Wildcards will find that the hallways of the basement are chilly and narrow. Heading to the end of the hallway will reveal a stairwell where they can ascend to check out the main resort. Welcome to the Golden Peacock!

ODDS
ODDS
A bird cries in the distance. Water beads trickle down chilled flesh. Itch itch itch—something pokes your bare ass.
The beep of the Watch is as gentle as it was for the new arrivals that didn’t wake up on the cold hard ground but the sound blends into the rustle of leaves and the gurgle of the river. Unlike their luckier colleagues, some wildcards have unexpectedly woken up in the middle of lush vegetation. Oops! That was a miscalculation. No details are given other than the above message and a follow-up message explaining GAME 52.
Wildcards that wake up in the Vale will be completely naked and without a resort robe to cover up. Lost amid thick bushes, mushroom clusters, and towering trees, it doesn't feel like they're in a resort at all. Isn't this a rainforest? By all accounts, this is a rainforest.
Those that wake in the Vale will have to make their way through the rainforest to find the exit. Really, so unexpected! This was not what we had in our system at all. It must be overloaded from high demand. Our apologies. Please don't complain.
Laughter rings throughout the forest. Footsteps echo. Branches snap. There are other people around aside from you naked newbies. If eavesdropped upon, wildcards may pick up on what these guests are cawing about. It sounds like they’re playing some kind of game.
Wildcards that wake up in the Vale may unwittingly stumble into one of the resort’s popular roleplaying games: Sexy Hunter 💕 and 💕 Sexier Prey.
There are numerous booby traps set around the forest. The goal of the game is to trap your prey and take them home for kinky fun and these guests weren't expecting newbies to suddenly drop in! The traps won’t hurt anyone but they will put them in some embarrassing positions.
After braving the elements and surviving booby traps, these wildcards may finally find civilization. The lounge pagoda where many of the long-standing guests are hanging out and enjoying drinks is comfortable and connected to a bathroom where characters can themselves clean up. In contrast to the naked muddy wildcards, the guests on the pagoda are dressed in trendy and elaborate clothing.
They stare at the newly arrived nude wildcards before breaking into shouts of glee and approval.
“Yes, brilliant idea, it’s a naked party! Whoohoo! Come on everyone. Take your clothes off. All of them! Naked party, naked party, naked party!”
These NPCs will shed their clothing and begin to skinnydip in the pools and river. They will chase each other—and wildcards! Wildcards will find themselves surrounded by an orgy. They will encourage wildcards to join in on the fun and offer them food and drink to get into the mood.
Wildcards will find the exit out to the central hub and elevator bank behind the pagoda. Welcome to the Golden Peacock!

MAIN LOBBY
MAIN LOBBY
The Peacock is buzzing with excitement! The massive main lobby is especially spectacular with golden streamers, dazzling lanterns, glittering ornaments, and cheerful music. There doesn’t seem to be one particular holiday being celebrated with the general theme being winter and holiday. An amalgamate like this resort simply couldn’t select one thing and had to go for everything (more is always better). The hallways and aisles are packed with streams of guests in ostentatious outfits. One can’t swing a cat without hitting someone*.
*No cats were harmed in the making of this TDM. We love cats.
There are sprigs of mistletoe above many of the hallways and doors. Surprisingly, the mistletoe have no supernatural abilities whatsoever, but guests that spy two people beneath the mistletoe together will point and demand they kiss. It’s tradition. Don’t be a downer during the festive season. Succumb to the peer pressure.
Hallways are also decorated with vases of poinsettia flowers. Nothing is amiss about these flowers during day hours, but during late night hours they will pick themselves up and trade vases with each other.
They are polite flowers and try to change when there are no guests around but don’t always manage to do it discreetly. Wildcards may notice something gold glinting in the roots of the scrambling poinsettias. Wildcards who manage to grab these flowers and comb through their roots can collect a simple gold ring (along with shivers of, iyaaaa, we just met, so bold).
Birdbucks is likewise getting into the winter spirit. Despite there being no weather in the resort they are offering seasonal hot drinks! Prices aren’t any cheaper than usual but the quality is better than their standard coffee. They are offering four new delicious new flavors: Buttered Honey Rum Coffee, Peppermint Mocha, Gingerbread Cinnamon Latte, and Rainbow Cookie Cappuccino.
These drinks won’t do anything other than make one wired from all the caffeine, but guests are encouraged to enjoy them around one of the fireplaces set up throughout the main hallways. Many people are snuggling up to the fire while nursing a Birdbucks drink and telling stories. A great way to get to know your fellow guests! Each fireplace is surrounded with festive cushions, beanbags, pillows, and blankets.
"Have you all heard about the Peacock’s annual wish tradition? No? I’m an old-timer around here, let me tell you … see those little jars hanging amongst the lights? You’re supposed to write down your heart’s desire on a piece of paper and stick it into the jar. Then, take a match and light it on fire. They say if you do that you’ll get your desire within the next 12 months. Me? I’m wishing for an older babe, a high rank babe, to become my sugar momma… what, doing it together with someone? Sure. They say that if you do it with someone you’ll have a fated connection forevermore. So don’t do it with someone you don’t like, hah!"
Wildcards will find that that loud guest isn’t lying. Many small glass jars hang alongside the fairy lights and there are multiple tables with paper, pens, and matches.
Guests are scribbling down their desires and stuffing them into the jars, watching with glee as the lit paper crumbles to ash. Couples who put their desires in the same jar are said to have a fated connection forever after so many couples can be found following the tradition. Nothing happens right away ... but who knows? It may prove to be true later.

RED CARDINAL
RED CARDINAL
Those looking to escape from the crowds will find respite in Red Cardinal. Despite being busier than usual, this particular bar remains serene with guests calmly enjoying food and drink. The decorations are minimal with a few red hanging paper lanterns. The proprietress, a handsome woman in her forties, works the bar while watching all guests with an eagle eye. Guests can be loud and out of control in the hallways; they aren’t going to behave that way in her bar.
Due to limited space, all wildcards that come alone looking for a meal will be seated at a two-top table with another wildcard. The menu for the holiday season is preset. All dishes are cooked by the proprietress's own hands, so the aroma has the comforting spice of homemade. She fully expects these wildcards to eat every single morsel. To leave any dish with scraps would offend her.
"Full? What do you mean, full? Look at you. You're so thin! Eat up, don't leave anything behind. Is my food not good enough? What's wrong with it?"
Guests that do not manage to finish the entire holiday spread will be bullied into washing dishes in the kitchen. The amount of dishes to be washed is massive. There is no dishwasher so it must all be done by hand. Wildcards sent to kitchen duty will not be allowed to leave until every dish is scrubbed clean. It's the least they can do after insulting her cooking by leaving food on the plate.
Guests that decide to skip the food and set up at the bar will find dozens of sealed wine jars. The proprietress will share that these wines are her personal make that she only offers once a year. She has not labeled the effects of these wines for her own personal amusement. Guests who wish to purchase a jug must select one based on the name written label, without knowing what may have been added into the mix.
Red Cardinal has all the other usual options as well. They carry basic spirits, beer, and other no-fuss drinks. Characters may also order small bar snacks like nuts and chips.
All jugs have a high APV. Drink too much and you may end up sleeping on the floor of the bar!

LOVE DOVE
LOVE DOVE
Love Dove, the resort's largest department store, is running a massive end of the year sale. All items are between 50% - 70% off, which is a massive bargain for those that are tight on chips!
Stepping inside will transport you away from the busy crowds of the main hallways and into several floors of retail magic. Not wanting to be outdone by competitors, Love Dove has pulled out all the stops to impress during the festive season with massive decorations and mannequin set-ups. Large bows and ribbons, boxes done up in shiny paper, trees and candelabras, sparkles sparkles sparkles. There are also several tables set up around the store offering complimentary glasses of wine and chocolate covered strawberries.
Characters will find a section for every kink imaginable in the store. Gaze in wonder upon the wall of strap-ons. Marvel at the wide shade range of the silicone penises. Bask the rainbow of silky lingerie—for both women and men. There are gadgets and gizmos a-plenty, including some design oddities of Love Dove’s own creation that wildcards may never have seen before. The store even has staged areas for guests to try out some of the more elaborate equipment before buying. While it is not encouraged to use anything insertable before buying for hygienic reasons, guests can turn display toys on to test vibration strength and suction power.
Despite being a sex department store, Love Dove also has several departments dedicated to regular clothing and undergarments. Characters will find decent basics like t-shirts, sweatpants, underwear, jackets, jeans, skirts, shoes, and dresses for slashed prices. Don't miss these deals! The sale ends when the winter festivities end.
At the front of the store there is a temporary section with an elaborate display. Wildcards will find Love Dove promoting masks and feathered costumes. They will hand out fliers inviting all guests the holiday masquerade. Drinks! Food! Dancing! A night that you surely won't forget! New guests simply cannot miss this party. Anyone who is anybody is going to be there.
All those who plan attend the masquerade are required to dress up. In the spirit of the season Love Dove is offering especially good sales on these elaborate costumes. For those with simpler tastes, there are also ballgowns and tuxedos in various prints and colors. The most important article is, of course, the mask.
Staff will encourage wildcards to pay particular attention in choosing a mask that resonates with them.
Masks with effects may be purchased and worn in any of the masquerade prompts.

LOVE DOVE (AT NIGHT)
LOVE DOVE ... AT NIGHT
For all the joy that comes with celebrating the holidays, the jubilant atmosphere can evoke loneliness in one's heart. There are many different kinds of loneliness. The melencholy of missing someone that's died. Sorrow from being parted from your family. The ache of watching the one you love celebrating with someone else. The mourning of being left behind by a friend. These feelings are fleeting in the resort—luxury and hedonism are great distractions—but where do they go after that?
Right now they're manifesting in the sex toys.
Guests browsing Love Dove during night hours will find that some of the sex toys have been possessed by residual loneliness.
Loneliness is a powerful force and it has granted the toys the power to act on their own. Guests had better watch out—as brainless tools gifted a sense of autonomy, all they know to do is fulfill their function.
The sex toys are low level and easy to fight off but please note the you break it you buy it signs posted all over the store. Can you afford to go all out, even with the current deals?

CASINO FLOOR
CASINO FLOOR
The Phoenix Casino has been transformed into a winter wonderland. Trademark royal blue has been replaced by shades of gold and white with pops of bright red lanterns. Guests in elaborate masks and costumes mesh together and then part, reveling in pretending to be someone else for a little while.
All have dressed to impress, sparing no expense in dripping themselves in precious gems and metals. Some of the guests are treated like gods—these are the royal rank guests and the difference in treatment from the rest of the crowd is palpable. These dazzling celebrities take up much of the spotlight, laughing loudly at card tables and shooing away anyone too low of a rank to breathe their air. They don't bother to hide their identities. Why, when they have the best of everything?
There are several game tables set up where crowds are playing and betting. Wildcards are encouraged to join in on the fun and given some grace from social judgement because they have no official rank yet. Some wildcards may even find guests making eyes at them over the table. After all, who knows if the house has been watching and decided that they’re a favorite? Today’s wildcard can be tomorrow’s new 10 rank.
Wildcards may participate in dice games, card games, and roulette in the main casino. Most other typical casino games have been shelved in favor of the special events in private game rooms.
The buffet is massive and decadent. Dishes like lobster and caviar, cuts of filet mignon, kobe beef with white truffles, oysters chilling on real diamonds, bluefin tuna, matsutake mushrooms, pule cheese, and so on. The dessert table is likewise exorbitant with elvish honey cakes, black watermelon, macarons, petit fours, chocolates, eclairs, tarts, soufflé, and flan all sprinkled in edible gold flakes. Dishes may contain aphrodisiac at player discretion.
The bar isn’t lacking either. The resort has created three specialty cocktails for the masquerade. While regular cocktails and spirits are available, staff will encourage guests to give these limited time drinks a try.
Wildcards and long-standing guests aren’t the only ones in attendance. Phantom hands have crashed the party and are phasing through the casino. To be fair, they’re always in the casino. It isn’t crashing if it’s their stomping grounds, right?
The phantom hands are mischievous and in the mood to get into trouble. They will be pinching the waists and asses of guests, tugging on clothes, knocking over glasses, and generally be a nuisance. Their favorite trick is to pin the blame for their crimes on someone else. If they’re not careful, wildcards may be the target or the scapegoat for some of these pranks!

Wildcards may participate in dice games, card games, and roulette in the main casino. Most other typical casino games have been shelved in favor of the special events in private game rooms.
The buffet is massive and decadent. Dishes like lobster and caviar, cuts of filet mignon, kobe beef with white truffles, oysters chilling on real diamonds, bluefin tuna, matsutake mushrooms, pule cheese, and so on. The dessert table is likewise exorbitant with elvish honey cakes, black watermelon, macarons, petit fours, chocolates, eclairs, tarts, soufflé, and flan all sprinkled in edible gold flakes. Dishes may contain aphrodisiac at player discretion.
The bar isn’t lacking either. The resort has created three specialty cocktails for the masquerade. While regular cocktails and spirits are available, staff will encourage guests to give these limited time drinks a try.
Wildcards and long-standing guests aren’t the only ones in attendance. Phantom hands have crashed the party and are phasing through the casino. To be fair, they’re always in the casino. It isn’t crashing if it’s their stomping grounds, right?
The phantom hands are mischievous and in the mood to get into trouble. They will be pinching the waists and asses of guests, tugging on clothes, knocking over glasses, and generally be a nuisance. Their favorite trick is to pin the blame for their crimes on someone else. If they’re not careful, wildcards may be the target or the scapegoat for some of these pranks!
GAME ROOMS
GAME ROOMS
The resort has arranged for four special events during the masquerade. These events take place in private rooms away from the bustle of the main party. There is no advertising about what is in each room and many guests are swept into the momentum. Highly trained staff tending to the door will be quick in prepping wildcards who wander in, giving them little time to realize what exactly they’ve stumbled into before it begins.

Lan Xichen
Well, that and we had to fulfill certain sex acts to power this alien world. They had us work, I worked in the library and Da-ge in the farms since he had access to non-tainted meat.
[Jin Guangyao could understand Wangji's feelings but he held no animosity to his son, even if Wangji did take his arm. Lan Shizui was a polite and cute young man. And he would not deny he held Jin Ling as a hostage, but he loved the boy. Jin Guangyao liked himself the least when he was in a desperate state, he acted like a cornered fox. Vicious and snappish.]
Oh, I forgot to mention Da-ge was there with me. The one from my world. Xue Chengmei says the one from his had a mustache, is that true?
[Jin Guangyao does bristle slightly at that statement, it was one of those invisible ways that Lan Xichen showed his privilege unknowingly. In the past, he would have been quiet and looked away a bit shamefully, taking it apart mentally later.
But he was past that now, feeling ashamed for growing up where he did. Allowing himself to diminish and wilt in front of beautiful immaculate cultivators who got to learn since birth. And he was painfully aware of the stark difference between being born of the gentry and not. But Nie Mingjue affected him, to be truthful about his feelings and not bury them until he lashed out later. He was grateful for his time in the prison
Jin Guangyao replied a bit stiffly, sharp eyes moving up to meet the other's.]
Er-ge, I strongly disagree.
It is in a brothel that one can truly learn the extent of human nature. The brothel taught me how to navigate delicate situations, serve people, and notice when they need something. How do you think I kept Sect Leaders in a good mood during long discussion conferences? I was good at my job because of the brothel and not despite it. I learned to survive because of where I am from, those skills aren't bad ones. They were useful in the war, weren't they?
If Er-ge wouldn't mind this A-Yao would like to point out a few things he could benefit from learning.
no subject
[ The walls feel like they narrow when he hears Nie Mingjue was at such a place. Not even just there, but alive and working a farm ... It doesn't seem possible, not after the state his body was in when last Xichen saw it, severed head sewn and pinned onto a neck ...
He feels a little ill as he continues to listen, stuck on Da-ge was there. Months spent in seclusion have granted Xichen endless days of regret and wallowing as his grief strips him down. Now, with this new Jin Guangyao on his arm, hearing of Nie Mingjue not being a mutilated corpse, the world tilts a little on its axis.
Benefit from learning ... Learn what? I want Da-ge back too.
Xichen suddenly longs for the soft muted blues and greys of the Hanshi, the sound of a small stream in his garden and days spent in solitude. The golden hallway is too much. ]
I just ... I need a moment. Please.
[ He pauses and breaks away to lean against a wall, closing his eyes. ]
no subject
[Oh...oh no, his traiterous mouth had pushed too hard. He hadn't realized that Er-ge was so fragile...after everything. Jin Guangyao didn't know he was in seclusion after all.
He stepped away to give him some space, dragging a chair next to him from the other wall of the lobby. When he was in this sort of panicked state the dark helped. He scurried to steal golden tablecloths from one of the tables that held brochures. He quietly draped it over him.]
Er-ge, I'm sorry. Please sit here and rest. I'll go find you some water. Can you wait for me? I'll be right back.
no subject
... I'm sorry. No. [ No darkness, no loitering in oppresive golden halls. He takes a deep breath, evening out his breathing. ] Let's find the room, it's not too far. I'll sit down there.
no subject
Jin Guangyao had a sudden realization that he didn't know how to take care of Er-ge anymore. Wasn't there a time when this was easier? That they had an intricate ritual where they knew what the other needed? Did they truly know one another? His voice came out small and panicked. He stopped in his tracks and rushed to his side, feeling small and young.]
O-Okay. Tell me where it is and we can go there.
no subject
I just need to breathe. Excuse me.
[ Left alone and alive after his sworn brothers were both hacked up and killed, Xichen hasn't yet figured out why things happened the way they did. He knows, logically, the reasons, but he has always been a creature of emotion and his heart is a shattered thing, heavy like his body as he sinks down on the edge of the bed and holds his own faintly trembling hands to calm himself down. His long hair without a guan swims over his shoulders as he hides his face, the sick uneasiness in his gut brewing a headache in his skull. Heartsick? Bodysick, more like. ]
Could you pass the water? It's on the side there, the bottle.
no subject
He stepped away to the other side of the room to give him some space. He had time with his death, With Nie Mingjue being alive next to him. Er-ge didn't have as much time with it. He needed to be more gentle.]
Of course Er-ge.
[He reaches and opens the bottle for him, handing it over before sitting down on the floor, with his knees to his chest. He rested his chin on his knees, the dress thankfully covering most of him and his hair covering the rest. He took some soft breaths, trying to stem the panic. In all truth, he was a bit unmoored without Da-ge's presence beside him. They were inseparable for a year and to suddenly not know what happened to him when they passed the portal together. He could only hope he had reincarnated, but he missed him.]
no subject
I was in seclusion before coming here, a-Yao. I'm not a well man.
[ Broken, he hesitates to say. ]
no subject
[Jin Guangyao's heart breaks for him. He did this to him. He sits up on his knees and moves closer to him, looking up at him softly.]
I am so sorry, for everything. This must be so overwhelming for you.
[He took a breath and gently placed his good hand on Lan Xichen's knee.]
I...don't think any of us have been well men. Not for a long time. We just pretended to be. Er-ge I don't know how to help your needs anymore. What helps me doesn't help you.
I want to relearn, how to help. But you have to tell me. I...I'm afraid for you in this place.
no subject
I want to sleep for a thousand years. Maybe then I'll understand why so many horrible things happened and why I never noticed. I don't understand it.
[ He was always there to support his friends, now there is no one left to support him. Wangji is not an option, grieving the loss of a living Wei Wuxian this time after they parted. The Twin Jades are both fractured echoes of themselves and this one doesn't want to make a fool of himself again, so solitude works best on his nerves. ]
My head hurts when I don't understand.
no subject
I can understand that feeling. Just to want to hibernate forever.
[He hummed thoughtfully.]
Sometimes we don't see what we do not want to until it is too late. I wish I saw that my father would never love me and that perhaps my mother only wanted me to be well. But I was so wrapped in my grief of losing her, I had convinced myself it was the only way for me. Perhaps a different path could have been available to me.
You are a good person, Er-ge. You want to see the best in people. You always did. And sometimes people aren't as good as you want them to be.
[Jin Guangyao looked up at him.]
Does your head hurt now? I can massage it if you like.
no subject
Eat something and get comfortable, that will make me feel better.
no subject
But a-Yao has already eaten three bondage men cookies! Fiiiine. If it pleases Er-ge, this wayward A-Yao will eat some of his food and change.
[With that he stands up and stretches, taking a moment to press his forehead against the other man’s. The dress was itchy anyway, he rummaged around the clothing pile finally coming up with an oversized t shirt and sweatpants. Maybe if he tied it really tight they would stay on. He turned around with his back to Xichen and slipped off the dress to his hips and put the shirt on. It came down to his knees. Then he slipped off the dress and put on the sweats, timing it as tight as it would go. It sort of worked. He laughed and did a little spin for Xichen’s benefit.]
I look like a-Ling when he was little and tried to wear my hat and outer robe. He was pretending to be Shushu and got ink on everything. On my documents, my clothes, his face. Fairy ended up with an ink mustache.
no subject
His heart aches when Jin Guangyao mentions Jin Ling. That's the man he knows, not the one who held a garrotte up to that innocent boy's throat. You really were always lovely to me. Xichen wonders if his admiration of his Jin Guangyao was also as blinding, assuming it must have been but now with some self-awareness about it. ]
You're very cute. [ He holds out a hand for him to come closer. ] You look so similar to my a-Yao, you know. Except ... your features are a little finer somehow, like a bird. He was always a sweet, round-faced cat.
no subject
A bird? I do not think I’ve heard that one yet. Though I have been called a feral little fox before. [Mostly by Mingjue]
Tell me what he is like. My Er-ge was tall like you but a bit less broad, his face a bit rounder, smile a bit freer as well. You smile as if you are enjoying a secret joke.
no subject
With their hands clasped, he sways them a little and looks up from where he sits on the edge of the bed. ]
He is ... short. [ Sticking to a physical description will be lighter conversation, lips twitching as he resists a smirk. ] He has dimples and rosy skin, but he tries to stay indoors to look pale and unflustered when in company. His lips are very foxlike when he smiles, now you mention it, but his eyes are big and bright. He likes headwear but looks better without it, when he's relaxing.
no subject
Alas! The fate to be the smallest among all these tall handsome cultivators! I’ll have you know we are perfectly of height for common folk. I understand that as well, Jin beauty standards value being pale and I work on maintaining that. A bit of makeup helps as well.
[To hide bruises and maintain beauty. His hands were softer after scrubbing them down to look more like a nobles hands. He worked hard to maintain an image so he could garner some respect. He looked up at him through his lashes.]
I had a hat too. It kept the gentry at ease if I looked more like a bureaucrat than a cultivation leader…
no subject
[ He gives those hands a squeeze, telling him off with a slow blink and steady gaze alone. ]
Can you not just let people like you, as I do?
no subject
Back in the Jianghu, if people didn’t like me they hurt me. An early lesson learned in the brothel.
But since I’ve left, I’m trying to, learn to be more authentic to myself and others. In the prison I made friends with people I didn’t have to hide around. They saw the worst parts of me and were kind and lovely. Two of them were sweet women who helped me be at ease with myself.
[Jin Guangyao sat down next to Xichen into his side now. Aerith, Julieta and Mingjue all helped him on that journey.]
Some of the sex acts we had to perform required a great degree of trust and giving up control. To be vulnerable in front of others. To be honest and able to communicate your desires to your partners.
Also I told people I lost all my fucks. So I suppose you could expect a bit more cursing sine I don’t have to please gentry sensibilities.
[ He gave him a mischievous smile, looking very much like a fox.
no subject
[ Most of the crassness is politely ignored, as much as he notes what is said. He simply can't respond in kind, having not being raised to want or even know how to, wondering if this is the kind of language his own a-Yao would prefer and if he hid it from him along with everything else. ]
I can't say I understand why I am here. After my seclusion, I planned to cultivate as close to immortality as possible. I have no interest in ... bedroom matters.
no subject
I would not say I was… okay I was coerced into them, everything there was laced with substances that incited desire, but I had to come to terms with what I wanted to do and with whom.
Er-ge, I’ve never had a perfect union before there. My only time in life was when A-Song was conceived and we never…
It took me so long to learn to be okay with doing such things I wouldn’t have survived if… [if Da-ge wasn’t there. He didn’t say it. I wasn’t okay. I felt like I was dirty and anything I touch became dirty as well.
I don’t know why either. Have you never had interest? There are some people like that and that is perfectly fine.
For me I had to decide where the line is. I can’t sleep with strangers, I have to be friends first and know they won’t hurt me. What I worry about is that things happen, you eat or drink the wrong thing, breathe the wrong air, A flower shoots pollen in your face and then your choices are limited.
And that loss of control and what happens with it hurts, and is terrifying. I want Er-ge to prepare for that eventuality, mentally. And come up with a safety plan in place. I am worried.
no subject
His smile is hollow this time, eyes empty of concern. ]
I don't care what happens to my body, it only houses my soul. The latter feels like it is gone, or that I don't know myself anymore, so I couldn't be hurt in any way that counts.
no subject
Er-ge no. You can’t talk like that. Is that the example you want to set for Sizhui? Would he not worry about his beloved Bobo who raised him until his A-die was well enough?
Your soul is not gone, I feel it in there, I have seen it in your eyes. It feels like it because of all the pain. But we have time to work through it and piece it back together. Your body, your heart and soul all matter the universe to me.
I know I am the reason for this. Please let me help fix it. Please. I’ll be happy to give my body so you don’t have to, Er-ge. Please.
no subject
I haven't cared in a long time, a-Yao. You can't fix this. I don't ... have the right pieces left.
[ He is not like Nie Mingjue, resilient to the point of becoming a malevolent ghost from pure rage or Jin Guangyao, spiteful enough to be vicious beyond measure. Xichen has only ever wanted to be kind and helpful, and as it turns out he was foolish and murderous by proxy because he knew nothing. He was left alone in the Hanshi, in shades of blue and grey, safe to feel all of it in private to the occasional call of a crane amidst mountainous winds.
He rubs Jin Guangyao on the back again, squeezing him for a moment before he leans back to settle a solemn look on that upset face. ]
It's as if a blade cut me in half; my body doesn't care to feel much of anything anymore. It just lives. That's good enough for me to be useful in this realm, and if something happens to me against my wishes I promise I won't care. Don't be so sad, my sweet a-Yao. Perhaps I'll pass the time by learning the ways of a brothel in detail, would that be preferable?
Should I become a carnal thing, to avoid thinking? Does it work?
I'm so sorry that he's so wordy when impassioned.
[Jin Guangyao's fingers gently begin to card through his hair. Like he did to A-Ling when he was young, he knew he wasn't like them but he was strong and resilient in his own right. His kindness made him resilient. During the war, Lan Xichen became a beacon of hope freeing clans from the Wen and getting them back safely. Neither he nor Mingjue would have been able to do what they did in the war if it were not for him. Even afterward, he was one of the few gentries that cared for people.
He sat up and held his face between his hands, looking at him in his eyes. His own burned a fiery bright gold.]
No. I do not accept that.
I don't care if you think this. I can promise you losing yourself in carnal desire will do nothing to avoid your thinking. It will only make you feel lost and hopeless in a different way.
In the war, you were a beacon of hope and kindness. In peace, you were kind as well and I know, I know what happened has made you feel broken but you are not only a symbol. You are Lan Xichen, Lan Huan, the sweetest cultivator who ever existed, one who helped people no matter how wretched they were. A loving brother, uncle, nephew, and friend.
That is who you are. Who you were and who you will always be. You've been cut in half. So what? It won't be the same but it will be sturdier with better foundations! The cloud recesses burned and you rebuilt it to be better and stronger! You are fierce and strong and soulful.
You cannot wallow in sadness and try to hide from your feelings, The only way out of grief is through. Even if it is ugly. I don't care if it's ugly and that you don't want to hear this.
I Love you. Da-ge Loves you. We talked about you every night and felt your absence Every. Single. Day. If you want to help people there are people here who are younger than your nephew and afraid, unsure, and in danger.
Help them. You are big and strong and good. They need you. [Jin Guangyao's voice cracked with emotion. ]
