[wisterin]

[ Shinobu will greet Wei Wuxian wherever. She's exploring everywhere. Knowledge is power, etc.

She waves when she sees him. ]

Hello, Wei-san! Why do you have two ages?

[givethemhell]

[He's pretty much exclusively chilling out with the rabbits right now, so he waves right back when she appears! He has two in his lap, with the third snuffling around nearby.]

Hello, hello! [As for that, hm. He looks up, considering.] Ah - well! If I had to guess, it would probably be because whatever wrote that is counting the age of my soul and not just my body.

[As if that explains anything, but at least he's honest.]

[wisterin]

[ If he has two covered, Shinobu will try to be cute with the third one. She's patient, trying to get it to come to her rather than trying to chase it.

If he looks at her face, he may notice something is off about her nose. Haha. ]

Are you in a different body than your own?

w0 friday

[givethemhell]

[Haha wow who could have ever seen this coming!! Wei Wuxian approaches Shinobu with a little more consideration and less flippancy than he's displayed so far, if only because. Well. He knows she'd been trying to play along, give them the benefit of the doubt.

Whenever he does spot her, he offers a crooked smile.]

And so ends any spot of fortune we may have managed to scrape up, I suppose.

[wisterin]

[ There is no longer any benefit to be given. She had no trust, but if they wanted to keep saying no murder.... Well!

She smiles brightly at him in greeting, as if she could cut something with her smile. ]

Could we have any fortune for ending up here in the first place? The rules are damning.

[ Her hands are clenched into fists. ]

[givethemhell]

[BOY IS THAT a familiar look. Like looking into a mirror! Hah. He glances down at the book of rules he'd just been looking over, and there's a little bit of a hard edge to his expression.]

...It does seem like an addition that wasn't hastily added. Unsurprising, but still. Would've saved us all a lot of fuss if they had been straightforward from the start.

w0, saturday

[wisterin]

[ Hello, Wei Wuxian, where you at. Shinobu seeks him out, walking carefully with a tray with two tea cups on it. Two cups full of tea befitting of a summer camp. ]

Well?

[ She's smiling, but she sounds tired. ]

[givethemhell]

[Ah yes, summer camp tea. They're living in the lap of luxury out in these cursed woods.

He offers her a smile in return in any case, though there's a little edge of something biting behind it.]

Not a great foot to start off on, hm?

[wisterin]

No. Would you like some tea?

[ She holds out the tray to him. ]

An accidental start to a cycle, they said.

[ It's almost like there's some effort being put into sounding as cavalier as she usually does. ]

w1 thursday

[givethemhell]

[YALL ARE STILL FUCKIN EXHAUSTING!!!!!

But Wei Wuxian will be tracking Shinobu down like 30 or so minutes after she comes stumbling out from the woods, since he's trying to give everyone a chance to gather their bearings and also waiting for the initial Flood Of People With Questions to subside.

This time, he's the one with tea when he approaches! He's just holding the cups in his hands though, rather than on a tray.]

You do know how to find trouble, don't you?

[wisterin]

[ THAT'S VERY RICH FROM WEI WUXIAN!!!

She doesn't mind if he doesn't have a tray. The gesture is kind in itself, and it makes her smile. ]

Am I supposed to wait for it to find me? Answers won't come by doing nothing.

[givethemhell]

[HE DIDN'T DO ANYTHING because he wasn't rng'd BUT HE STILL DIDN'T DO ANYTHING!!]

Hah, of course not! And I'm glad someone managed to find anything at all. [A little sigh! He holds one cup toward her. It's no fancy tea, but it's nice and hot, at least.]

And you ended up making it out of there in one piece, which is better than some can say after poking around.

week 1, sunday

[wisterin]

[ Shinobu isn't looking for Wei Wuxian in particular, but it's not hard to run across him anywhere in the camp. It looks like she can't settle down after that gruesome execution, and she's just pacing all around the camp.

She slows down when she sees him, though, and raises a halfhearted hand in greeting. Her smile is more absent than present. ]

[givethemhell]

[That's a fairass mood honestly. He offers a smile in return, which looks relatively normal, save a little tension straining at its edge.]

Is moving around helping at all? Do you want to walk through the gardens with me instead?

[NO MORE PACING.]

[wisterin]

[ Pacing isn't helping at all. He's right on the target with that question. She looks at him for a long moment before she nods. ]

All right. Let's go through the garden. I'll collect some flowers.

[ For something or other or to make a flower crown. She doesn't know because I don't. ]

How are you, after these past few days?

[ These terrible, terrible days. ]

w2 friday

[givethemhell]

[WHERE IS SHINOBU I FORGOT TO ASK god. Well, wherever she is, Wei Wuxian will raise a hand in greeting when their paths cross - and then immediately say, through some visible strain:]

Did you see those piles of dipshits? None of them need treatment, right? Not that you can cure stupidity.

[wisterin]

[ SHINOBU CAN BE ANYWHERE. She's probably near the Nurse's Office and squints to look at Wei Wuxian. It's fine, probably. She raises a hand in return. ]

I don't know if I would care enough to right now. It seems like they're more taken to Grayson-san, as well.

[ She doesn't sound too bothered by this. ]

It seems like there is a missing eye, and there was enough blood, so I'll try to check in with all of them later.

w2 saturday

[givethemhell]

[TWO WEEKS IN A ROW OF THIS, HUH!! That sure is fun. Maybe Shinobu will be blessedly free of her hulk rage even now...

He'll come up with two cups of tea to wherever she happens to be moseying regardless, and holds one her way.]

Figured we could all use it right now.

[Something warm after an exhausting fuckin day of FAILURE.]

[wisterin]

[ Hahaha, well. Shinobu is smiling right now, so she must be feeling something because of the results of this trial. She's meandering her way around the bonfire as if that'll do anything.

So maybe she's not at full rage, but she's something. ]

Thank you. [ She can still be polite(?). ] Shouldn't we all be better at this?

[ She takes the cup. ]

week 3, monday

[wisterin]

[ Happy Monday, Wei Wuxian! It's raining out, but that's okay! It doesn't matter where they are because they're about to not care after they within five feet of each other.

Shinobu is young, so very young. Her parents are dead, and with her older sister Kanae, she seeks out a blind man who saved them both from death. This is a Shinobu who's too serious and frowns too much, who's full of determination, fury, and hate.

have a light novel chapter. ctrl+f "Please teach me and Nee-san how to slay demons" and then you can stop wherever you want. The world is your oyster. ]

[givethemhell]

[WOW I HATE THIS but that's sure true.

Wei Wuxian freezes in his steps, not unused to the sensation of someone else's emotions washing over him, but unused to - this, in this specific way. The intensity of the anger, coming from Shinobu. The rawness and honesty of her emotions. How explosively she feels.

It's all very different from the person here in camp, who sits with him and drinks tea and smiles placidly (and sometimes, too sharp) into the fire when things go wrong. His fingers twitch at his sides and he blinks a few times, like he's trying to clear his vision. He doesn't lock eyes with Shinobu just yet, instead staring at a spot of ground just to the left of her feet.]

(here are wwx's mems if u want one!!)

w3 thursday night

[givethemhell]

[HERE IS OUR TINY PC FOR SHINOBU TO JUDGE HIM IN PRIVATE. He's sitting on the floor in the infirmary, carefully looking over the jagged wound on his leg, which is still not bleeding but sure looks nasty. In his hand he has a suture kit, but he's not using it yet.]

[wisterin]

Will you let me tend to it?

[ She may or may not have more experience than him in terms of stitching. She doesn't know his life. ]

Will you tell me what happened?

week 6, saturday

[wisterin]

[ They did it?? Dubiously. They're at least alive for another day. Shinobu is looking for people but also looking at the new places that arrived after she died.

She peeks into the music room. ]

Would you play a song for our success or our doom?

[ What a cheerful question. ]

[givethemhell]

[THEY'RE ALIVE FOR ANOTHER DAY YAAAY... Yaaaay........

Wei Wuxian isn't playing anything just yet, seated at the piano with the lid closed. He's holding his flute out contemplatively, though - seems a bit lost in thought until Shinobu pipes up, at which point he turns and smiles her way.]

Why not a bit of both? Cover our bases.
