(no subject)

Who: Zhao Yunlan, Shen Wei, Zhu Hong (also this is a catchall so hmu if you want a starter!)
Where: Temple of Mars & neighborhood
When: March 9, 2017
What: Zhu Hong wants to apologize for embarrassing drunken conversations and Shen Wei's invited over to see just how unfit for human habitation Yunlan's managed to make his room in a mere few months. Shenanigans, probably.
Warnings: Guardian end series spoilers, discussion of death/mourning, Zhao Yunlan being uncharacteristically insecure, but, look, he would like to point out he's got reasons. Other warnings in headers if anything comes up!

[Zhu Hong smiles.]

Probably. The passive-aggressiveness feels just like home. Speaking of which...

[She motions for Yunlan to wait and slithers into the next room. When she reemerges less than five minutes later, she’s balancing a tray piled full of snacks.]

She really outdid herself. She’ll be heartbroken when I tell her you’re taken.

What she doesn't know can't hurt her.

[The joke and the smile that goes along with it leave a bitter taste in her mouth. She takes a sesame ball and munches thoughtfully, both enjoying the familiarity of joking around with Old Zhao and recoiling at the wrongness of it all. She wishes she had raw, red meat instead of these dry cookies and cakes.

She looks away from him.]


It is. How are you coping, yourself?

[It's confusing as hell for her, but she has all her memories. How is he feeling now, after the disaster that was last night?]

[She shrugs a little helplessly; last night had been deeply awkward for all parties involved.]

Can't say I blame you; I was a trainwreck last night. You missed Shen Wei attempting alcohol, though.

[She smiles. Maybe a funny story about his boyfriend might put him a little more at ease? If she phrases it right, it shouldn't put Yunlan in danger. She hopes.]

The last time he attempted heavy drinking he passed out cold and needed IV fluids after a single shot.

[The smile fades. Why does this hurt so much?]

I can't imagine what that must be like, not knowing who you were before this.

It was strong, but it wasn't that strong.

[Even Xiao Guo hadn't gotten too drunk and miserable from it. Well, a little. A lot. Just not as badly as Shen Wei had.

She pokes around at the snacks and grabs another small sesame ball, forcing herself to chew and swallow even though it tastes like sawdust in her mouth.]


How long have you been here, as a shinki?
