Now, now, let's not sell ourselves short! Well, you're not exactly wrong either.
[ What's it like, being a legacy? To share a name with many others? He remembers how the doppelganger cried that night, lamenting its lack of pride and worth, and he thinks he understands a little. ]
If you wanna take a break so much, I can cover for ya.
[ Because they're not nerds who hate people, but listen. There's always that one idiot who'll risk his life when he has to and Yan Qing is not letting Robin be it. ]
Please. I've seen worse. Besides! if you get stunned, poisoned, or in any way incapacitated, who's gonna haul your ass back home and make sure your Master doesn't cry? Don't make girls cry, Robin!
[ His imagination briefly entertains the thought of being carried, but Ye Xiu is a pasty, lanky nerd so he perishes the thought.
At their discovery, he lets out a sigh of exasperation and SLAPS YE XIU'S BACK. ]
Hey, hey. Don't tell me you don't know where we're going. [ Because he doesn't mind the extra work, he's just worried that he's stuck with someone incompetent again... ]
[ yan qing what the FUCK. ye xiu is a pasty, lanky nerd so of course that slap on the back knocks the wind right out of him. he nearly drops his comm device, rattling the map projection, but when he straightens himself out — ]
I thought I did. But either the map is wrong or it's... [ his eyes are back on the blockade of vines. there's no way his luck can be that bad. ] Maybe we should try a different one.
[ or maybe he can also try his magical girl trick, but he's thinking about whether it's worth the effort. ]
[Kay's breath briefly catches in her throat when she sees him cover that wide space. Mr. Shinshin is #goals right now. Finally, the ride is over, and she's back on her feet.]
I just wanted to help people fight the vines. [She says this rather mulishly, twiddling her fingers.] And I did find a weapon...
[ Tamaki! Friend! Yan Qing claps a hand on the young man's shoulder. His laughter is full of mirth, and so is his gait as he leads them to the sushi bar. ]
I knew I could count on you! Now let's go on that date, darling. [ He pushes Tamaki inside before he can protest. ]
[ Friend! Food! What could possibly go wrong!? Tamaki really likes this guy's positive attitude towards eating. Still oblivious, he mimics the chipper demeanor and laughs with Yan Qing. ]
I can't wait to stuff my... darling? Now that I think of it, didn't you say we had to--
[ There he goes, shoved right in before he has a chance to rethink his choice (Not that he would. Acting for the sake of cheap food was no challenge), and with an undignified squawk to boot. Not so elated at the rude gesture, he turns back with a frown. ]
Hey, what gives!? It's not like I'm not hungry either. You didn't have to push me like that, honey!
[ At least he grasped the concept of fake dating. ]
[ Not too weird for him, but he has a high tolerance for weirdness. Also, he really wants that sushi. Also, he's feeling mischievous today. ]
You can call me Li Shuwen. Okay, Savia? Just follow my lead.
[ Gently, he starts leading her into the sushi bar. What he is not telling her is that all they need to do is take a selfie together. That's no fun. He needs to make chroma somehow. ]
Li Shuwen, okay... but which bit is your first and last name?
[ Why does she still feel a tad uneasy? ][ Surely that means he's scoped out this place before, right? If he really wanted this sushi. The table he's picked is a small cozy booth for two and Savia can't help but flush slightly red at this. God this was very uh, close and comfortable. Not like that's going to stop her at the minute since she's hungry and food is good. ]
[ Ah, Naoise. You're so cute. So... well, he's not sure if he's dumb. He doesn't want to be a quick judge of character. But the knight is nice and easy on the eyes. ]
Oh, you like to drink? Me too. I'm so lucky that I have a partner like you. [ Maybe he's laying it on too thick? Eh, whatever. ] I like everything, so let's buy everything, wahahahaha!
[ He's just in a good mood. He loves festivals. He actually can't remember the last time they celebrated something... Valentine's, maybe? But celebrating a holiday in Chaldea and going to another world's festival are two different things. For one, look at all these people! Two, look at all this food that Naoise will help him pay for!
Ah... But they don't have a lot of money. ]
Just kidding. I really want to try the ootoro sushi, though. That's enough for me. [ Since it's expensive! ] You?
Now, now, moderation is important. There might be something else that will catch your eyes and you should have a little money saved for things like that.
[It's true, money is a tight thing at the moment. Naoise narrows his eyes at the price that is listed for the type of sushi Yan Qing wants, but splitting the price should make things fair as long as he tries some.]
Ootoro is mostly sushi with the fat of the fish, correct? [He got that right, right?] If we share that with a few drinks, it would give us enough money for later activities.
[He smiling and its probably Yan Qing's mood rubbing off of him.]
I drink occasionally, but since it's a time of celebration, a little never hurts.
[ The question tugs at the corner of his lip. He's gotten himself into some trouble since his arrival, sure, but he hasn't had the luxury of a proper spar. ]
Oh? You're interested in my body, miss? Can't say you're the first.
[ He means that in a perfectly innocent way, probably. But he also knows exactly how it sounds like, definitely. ]
[Thankfully(?) for him, she takes it as completely innocent because she doesn't realize that there's an innuendo behind such words. She just gropes his upper arm again because seriously, you don't get these kinds of muscles without building them up.]
I wouldn't go that far, but if you can fight, I need people I can spar with. I'd hate to get rusty with my skills because there's no one to spar with.
[And she takes a lot of confidence with how strong and skilled she is. Then again, she always enjoys backing up her words, too.]
[ She's really getting into this, isn't she? Something tells him he's not the only one in it for the food, which makes her the type of person he'd hang out with. His laughter is crisp and clear, cutting through the buzz of the festival crowd as he dismisses the thought with a wave. ]
Psh, nah! I don't think we gotta worry when we're so eager. [ He offers her a hand, the back of his palm and the underside of his arm just as decorated as the rest of his skin. ] Let's give 'em a show, Rosetta.
[ Off they go, down the streets side by side like an actual couple and not two cheapskates. But truthfully, it's more the prospect of good company than potentially mediocre food that keeps her sticking with him. ]
You fall into the role of doting boyfriend quite easily. Have you acted this part before?
[ For what it's worth, she has every right to be wary as fuck. He has no nipples I mean he is still! Pretty yakuza! ]
Hmm, really? I guess I could find something to wear.
[ He's not married to the idea because he's hot shit, also who is she to tell him what to do? All he wanted to do tonight was tell people not to be stupid about the vines... But now that she brings his shirtlessness up, he has an idea that can kill two birds with one stone. ]
Why don't you help me pick something out, Mirin-chan? [ He wears his usual friendly smile. She's Mirin-chan because he's indulging her. ] I'm not used to dressing myself, you see, so I'd really appreciate it if you could lend me a hand. You look pretty cool yourself!
[ How many layers of Being Suspicious As Fuck does this Ensei guy have? Because they're really, really not going to do any good favor from Mirin's end.
Which isn't necessarily a bad thing, tbh. ]
Sure... thing, gozaru? [ She isn't going to step back in fear or any, but she's still going to rudely point a finger at Shinsin now while her free arm is just going to tug on the hem of her own hakama. ] Mirin is not going to give any of her clothes for you, just so you know, de gozaru.
[ Cos you know, he's still being creepy as fuck for Mirin's standard. ]
Unfortunately, some things went wrong with my summoning, so now I can't even summon my cloud. And that monk's kiiiinda sorta mixed in my core? [ This is a lie. ] But hey, when life gives you lemons! I'm still good-looking.
You should probably work on that explanation a little more. You sound like an amateur scam artist. ...actually wasn’t something like that a widespread con, at one point? “It’s me, it’s me,” or something over the phone.
So Much Worse? [ He climbs higher so he can perch near the light that hangs overhead, much like a bird. ] Like how we were whisked off to another dimension, you mean?
That part's weird, but adjustable with a bit of time. Provided we don't get throttled or attacked by killer plants all around the city.
[ M'dude... will you stand still, for one moment. Yuri could try and climb up there too but it probably wouldn't be anywhere near as easy as that guy just made it look. ]
Might as well try and get the jump on them before this gets out of control.
[ Yan Qing doesn't even bat an eye about her being in prison. He's met all sorts of people on that mountain by the marsh. An ex-convict isn't the worst of them.
His smile remains as easy as ever. ]
Oh, I've seen a lot of things. [ He puts his hands behind his back as he leisurely walks by her side. ] Don't worry, don't worry! I won't judge.
[ He moves in the same way, graceful and effortless. Each step is like second nature as they follow the beat. A smirk makes its way across his face in his amusement. ]
Hmm! Didn't take you for the musical sort. [ He asks on a twirl, ] You do this often?
[ She really is in a good mood thanks to the music and the dancing. She doesn't even fight being twirled; she spins just as gracefully as a ballerina would. ]
I did this often. Not anymore; there's not much time, after all.
[ Once she's back and holding onto him again, she comments: ]
You're rather poised, yourself. I didn't peg you as the type.
[ Shiver and die like the dog he is. Unfortunately, he is very shirtless in this thread, yeah. Why? Because his dragon-tatted tits are threatening, probably. He doesn't know if that's Patchouli real goal, but he'll take her word for it. If the moons can bring in Servants, maybe it brought other powerful individuals as well. Maybe some of them can withstand the poison...
Him? His magic resistance is shit, but he's here anyway. ]
Obviously, I wouldn't touch the flowers. [ Then, the playful grin is gone. ] The effects are worse than this morning. I've seen people just lay there while their eyes go white. It's like these things are turning 'em into vegetables, but you know, with the screaming.
[The sound she makes is... displeased. That's the best way I can describe it right now.]
So, I suppose we should be doing something about it, but it must be a concerted effort to ensure we don't leave the job half-finished. ["I have a bad feeling it'll be sentient and really, really pissed if we don't completely rout it." That's how sci-fi goes, right?] The governing body... doesn't seem to be too sure about what we need to do yet, though. Or they wish to handle it themselves. [Which, again, if this fits any sort of tropes she understands, will fail miserably.]
Yan Qing's eyes grow wide at the strange dog's antics, dumbfounded by the sheer absurdity of the concept. A teleporting dog? How the hell is anyone supposed to keep that? It might not be the ideal pet for people with abandonment issues (read: him), but his curiosity and thrill-seeking ways get the better of him. ]
Baozi! [ That's right. He named it. ] Wait!
[ He breaks into a sprint and, in his excitement, bumps past Jester's shoulder. ]
[ She begins to chase after him, naturally. Natural instinct to chase after what is her's, running away from ... her. The beautiful stall filled with trinkets abandoned as she takes the first step, then another, then—
Bumps into another person. Who also seems to be chasing after Nugget? Or maybe he's chasing after an invisible dog that's running with Nugget ( maybe that's why Nugget's running in the first place ). Either way, the point is she's started to a stop, then has the brilliant idea to just ... tell him to stop.
The perks of having a teleporting dog. ] Oh, oh! Nugget, home! [ With her arms wide open, legs bracing for impact. Nugget ( Baozi? ) skids to a stop some feet away, turning his head, and with a bark—
No amount of preparation has prepared Jester Lavorre for a medium-sized dog to jump right back into her arms. She topples over, landing on her ass, but at least she's laughing about it. ] You know, if you decided to run away like that I'm pretty sure you'd be another Professor Thaddeus, and then Beau would be really, really sad that she lost both her pets.
Yeah, well, everyone and their uncle's a cat around these parts. You can't blame a guy for making sure he doesn't get his eyes clawed out!
[ The next buildings a little too high, so he ends up grabbing onto its side. Enjoy the eyes of apartment residents watching a half-naked gang member crawl down the building with a tiger boy on his back. ]
[Atsushi's trying very hard not to think about the half naked bit, thank you. Though the skin contact made him feel very warm and comfortable, oddly enough... He'd have demanded to be let down a while ago, otherwise. He clings a little tighter onto him as he crawls, instead.
...Must be a side effect of the goop he's covered in.]
It's my ability. I can transform parts of my body into a tiger.
[ Yan Qing starts moving his legs, pulling them back just a bit to get used to the feeling. ]
Ngh... Hey, no one's telling ya to. But I guess that's a doctor for ya. Funny how life works, yeah? It's only after we die that we get to do the things we wanna do.
[ It's the same for him. It's the same for every single one of them. ]
Hahaha! [ The wound is gone, but the blood on his forehead is still fresh. It rolls down his skin, marred with dirt and bruises from the fighting. ] I guess I never really died, though.
[He shifts uncomfortably at his words. They're true - so true, especially for Sanson. It wasn't because of his practice in medicine that he became a Heroic Spirit, after all.
At the sight of the fresh blood still trickling, Sanson reaches into the pocket of his coat and produces a clean white handkerchief.]
And it looks like the story of the Skillful Star will continue on this strange planet. [As will the story of the man who never wanted to become Monsieur de Paris.] I'll just clean up the blood and the dirt and you're done.
[ Scratch what he said earlier. This is why Yan Qing likes Sylus the most. Lets him do his job, pays him handsomely, lets him use his crow emojis... Sylus is probably good at heart, too! But he's wise enough not to show it. The perfect employer! ]
Yessir 👍 They don't call me the Skillful Star for nothin. You know I'm the best at watching your back! Anyway show me the goods, boss!! Lemme see those guns.
[ okay, but why is the image of luke, kieran, and yan qing collectively hyping up sylus really cute in my head.
time for sylus to leave a thumbs up emoji on their moments posts tonight. ]
Dont look at mine for so long that you forget to watch your own.
[ that said, he does end up shooting him several photos of guns. it seems predominately between the type he usually uses, a new type that looks new, and even one that looks oddly like the type of gun issued to hunter...
but, also there is a bomb detonator on the table, too. option 4. i was going to say envision him in the reflection with those "let him choose" outfits, but i promise i won't turn this thread into crack. ]

[ Hm. ]
Oh, a tough guy, eh? Well, I can't say that wouldn't happen...

[ Yan Qing doesn't even bat an eye about her being in prison. He's met all sorts of people on that mountain by the marsh. An ex-convict isn't the worst of them.
His smile remains as easy as ever. ]
Oh, I've seen a lot of things. [ He puts his hands behind his back as he leisurely walks by her side. ] Don't worry, don't worry! I won't judge.
[ Much. ]

[ He moves in the same way, graceful and effortless. Each step is like second nature as they follow the beat. A smirk makes its way across his face in his amusement. ]
Hmm! Didn't take you for the musical sort. [ He asks on a twirl, ] You do this often?
no subject
[ She really is in a good mood thanks to the music and the dancing. She doesn't even fight being twirled; she spins just as gracefully as a ballerina would. ]
I did this often. Not anymore; there's not much time, after all.
[ Once she's back and holding onto him again, she comments: ]
You're rather poised, yourself. I didn't peg you as the type.

march 2019 | arrival | patchouli
[ Shiver and die like the dog he is. Unfortunately, he is very shirtless in this thread, yeah. Why? Because his dragon-tatted tits are threatening, probably. He doesn't know if that's Patchouli real goal, but he'll take her word for it. If the moons can bring in Servants, maybe it brought other powerful individuals as well. Maybe some of them can withstand the poison...
Him? His magic resistance is shit, but he's here anyway. ]
Obviously, I wouldn't touch the flowers. [ Then, the playful grin is gone. ] The effects are worse than this morning. I've seen people just lay there while their eyes go white. It's like these things are turning 'em into vegetables, but you know, with the screaming.

So, I suppose we should be doing something about it, but it must be a concerted effort to ensure we don't leave the job half-finished. ["I have a bad feeling it'll be sentient and really, really pissed if we don't completely rout it." That's how sci-fi goes, right?] The governing body... doesn't seem to be too sure about what we need to do yet, though. Or they wish to handle it themselves. [Which, again, if this fits any sort of tropes she understands, will fail miserably.]

[ He's never seen Fou do that before.
Yan Qing's eyes grow wide at the strange dog's antics, dumbfounded by the sheer absurdity of the concept. A teleporting dog? How the hell is anyone supposed to keep that? It might not be the ideal pet for people with abandonment issues (read: him), but his curiosity and thrill-seeking ways get the better of him. ]
Baozi! [ That's right. He named it. ] Wait!
[ He breaks into a sprint and, in his excitement, bumps past Jester's shoulder. ]
Sorry, lady! Doggie, wait up!
no subject
Bumps into another person. Who also seems to be chasing after Nugget? Or maybe he's chasing after an invisible dog that's running with Nugget ( maybe that's why Nugget's running in the first place ). Either way, the point is she's started to a stop, then has the brilliant idea to just ... tell him to stop.
The perks of having a teleporting dog. ] Oh, oh! Nugget, home! [ With her arms wide open, legs bracing for impact. Nugget ( Baozi? ) skids to a stop some feet away, turning his head, and with a bark—
No amount of preparation has prepared Jester Lavorre for a medium-sized dog to jump right back into her arms. She topples over, landing on her ass, but at least she's laughing about it. ] You know, if you decided to run away like that I'm pretty sure you'd be another Professor Thaddeus, and then Beau would be really, really sad that she lost both her pets.

Yeah, well, everyone and their uncle's a cat around these parts. You can't blame a guy for making sure he doesn't get his eyes clawed out!
[ The next buildings a little too high, so he ends up grabbing onto its side. Enjoy the eyes of apartment residents watching a half-naked gang member crawl down the building with a tiger boy on his back. ]
How are you doing that, by the way?
no subject
...Must be a side effect of the goop he's covered in.]
It's my ability. I can transform parts of my body into a tiger.

march 2019 | arrival | sanson
[ Yan Qing starts moving his legs, pulling them back just a bit to get used to the feeling. ]
Ngh... Hey, no one's telling ya to. But I guess that's a doctor for ya. Funny how life works, yeah? It's only after we die that we get to do the things we wanna do.
[ It's the same for him. It's the same for every single one of them. ]
Hahaha! [ The wound is gone, but the blood on his forehead is still fresh. It rolls down his skin, marred with dirt and bruises from the fighting. ] I guess I never really died, though.
[ His story was left unfinished, after all. ]
no subject
At the sight of the fresh blood still trickling, Sanson reaches into the pocket of his coat and produces a clean white handkerchief.]
And it looks like the story of the Skillful Star will continue on this strange planet. [As will the story of the man who never wanted to become Monsieur de Paris.] I'll just clean up the blood and the dirt and you're done.

[ Scratch what he said earlier. This is why Yan Qing likes Sylus the most. Lets him do his job, pays him handsomely, lets him use his crow emojis... Sylus is probably good at heart, too! But he's wise enough not to show it. The perfect employer! ]
Yessir 👍
They don't call me the Skillful Star for nothin.
You know I'm the best at watching your back!
Anyway show me the goods, boss!!
Lemme see those guns.
no subject
time for sylus to leave a thumbs up emoji on their moments posts tonight. ]
Dont look at mine for so long that you forget to watch your own.
[ that said, he does end up shooting him several photos of guns. it seems predominately between the type he usually uses, a new type that looks new, and even one that looks oddly like the type of gun issued to hunter...
but, also there is a bomb detonator on the table, too. option 4. i was going to say envision him in the reflection with those "let him choose" outfits, but i promise i won't turn this thread into crack. ]
