Yeah...but they're different, I guess. Before it was just connecting to the field and knowing about histories I've lived in. Now it's knowing everything about all of the people here and about the camp and things that happen here.
[Can't wait for him to fight Junpei over whoever gets to be left behind.
There's a second there where he's very, very briefly visibly discomforted, though. "Haha the NPCs know everything about us" is one thing, but like. "Haha this friend(??? HE THINKS?? HE HOPES?? He cannot identify friendship.) you made now has access to your entire miserable sordid history!" is entirely different. He hopes it's the way Winter Wizard explained for Junpei too, and that he hasn't looked too closely. Wei Wuxian is loathe to lose the few friends he's managed to gain...]
--Must be noisy. [He reaches out and helpfully pats Junpei's little noggin.] Especially with a group like this! I'm sure people are getting up to all sorts of things at all hours, hah.

...I try not to look into things too closely even though it's all there. It doesn't seem fair, you know? My focus is just on the things you guys are doing here to help make sure the trials run the way they should and help us find the bodies after they've been killed.
[the fact that both dick and wwx turned into the blob "oh no" comics upon hearing that junpei had access to their histories is very funny
HE MAY BE JOKING but Wei Wuxian still gives him a quietly concerned look...]
Don't tell me that's why you're gone on Fridays. [Said with a little huff of a laugh like he's joking too BUT HE'S WORRIED. And then he's smiling, and it's a strange mix of apology and gratitude and something hard to pin.]
Kind of you, dear omniscient host. [He says on a joking lilt, even though he really is thankful.] I'm sure you have enough on your plate anyway. Hah, next time we're called on, I'll try to keep things simple and clean for you all.

| | [hate that.] Not the whole time. We spend Fridays checking on evidence and making sure we know what's happening so we're not at a total loss on Saturday. We always know who's guilty and how they enacted the kill. But...otherwise yeah. [sometimes you just crash out for a while.] I'm really hoping there won't be a next time, but I'll keep that in mind. |
[Monday hasn't even happened yet, but Wei Wuxian just laughs and reaches out to pat Junpei's arm.]
We all know how these things go. [He's 100% expecting to go again Eventually, even if he sure isn't expecting "eventually" to mean "the very next week".]
I guess Friday is the only chance you get to not be pestered nonstop by the rest of us too, hm? Might as well take advantage.

| | Yeah, I know. [ugggh.] Fridays are my days off from you guys, yeah, but...it's not like I always want them to be. It's just for the best not to see us until after the trial. Like, uh, how you're not supposed to see the bride before the wedding? It's bad luck or something. |

[junpei vanishes into the void again...]
That's a strange metaphor. [On Wednesday now he'll be like WHY IS JUNPEI OBSESSED WITH WEDDINGS.] But fair enough, fair enough. Well! I'll come see you again before or after Friday next week then, assuming I make it through!

[Take him with you Junpei.]
A weird tradition... [Hm. Junpei's a weird tradition, god.] Again with the unreasonable faith! But alright, alright - I won't keep you waiting.
[He says this jokingly but LITTLE DOES HE FUCKING KNOW THERE ARE THREE OTHER MURDERERS RUNNING AROUND OUT THERE.]

[TIME FOR HIS WEEKLY VISIT TO THE NPCS YEEHAW!! Wei Wuxian will feed blue bun a treat and head wherever it roams!]
[Purple bunbun gets a lot of fond scritches and a treat next! TAKE HIM TO JUNPEI, CINNABUN.]
[AND FINALLY WEN NING the only fucking person left in camp that Wei Wuxian will ever let himself slip around, wow. He feeds the grey bun and follows wherever she goes!]
[AH, HOME... Wei Wuxian glances over the area, from the rocky floor underfoot to the cavernous roof, before making his way over to Wen Ning's side. Here, he doesn't bother with pretenses. The edge of hysteria from Monday is buried and he's just left feeling hollowed out after everything. Killing again, learning more about Nie Huaisang, about so many others here... Having to watch trial spiral out of control, far beyond anything he could help with. Beau's loss and grief. The fear of losing Taako. Nie Huaisang's horrific death.
At least that emptiness in his chest isn't unfamiliar.
He crosses his arms, looking into the blood pool with an almost clinical sort of curiosity that's probably not unfamiliar to Wen Ning. He's looked into the very same thing with the very same look before, years and years ago.]
Why is it that you need to preserve these, anyway? Won't it be a problem for some of them? Being in pieces like that.

| | [cinnabun is happiest when people spoil her which means that wwx is legit one of her favorite people. after she gets her fill of scritches and treats she's hippity-hoppiting down the hall toward the office marked 3C. the door opens for both bun and wei wuxian, and junpei's inside without his hat so wei wuxian can see his face right away. give him a moment to scoop up his bunny.] Hey. We can go somewhere else if you want, but...figured you'd want some privacy. |
| | Mm, it's... how they get brought to the other side, too. But it's the only place that we have to keep them safe, after they die. [his brow furrows a little as he peers in, but he only looks briefly. mostly, he's watching wei wuxian, looking at his face. a part of him wants to reach out. it's what anaido always does for him, even though he can't feel it, and the gesture alone is comforting... but he's not sure. his fingers twitch, but he doesn't end up moving.] I don't think it's going to be a problem, but I don't... know for sure. |
[the blue bunny will lead him to winter's office! the bunny will make their way over to their doll bed, but wwx will find winter wizard seated at their desk. they idly stir a straw inside a half empty slushie cup, perking up once wwx enters the office.]
Oh... Hey, grab a seat.
Oh... Hey, grab a seat.
[HELL YEAH he earned his bunbun fondness rights. He's almost sad when Junpei picks her up again, since it means he has nothing soft to hold. Tragic.
In any case, he just waves a gentle hand at that, unbothered for all intents and purposes.]
I don't mind staying or going. Ah - I brought you something, though!
[HE PULLS A LITTLE BAG OUT OF HIS SHIRT AND HOLDS IT OUT.]

[The worst part about Wen Ning being Wen Ning is that he's been around Wei Wuxian long enough to know all his tiny tells, which is maybe why he keeps his eyes trained on the blood pool instead of looking over even when he feels Wen Ning staring his way.
He huffs out a little sigh, fingers drumming idly against his chin.]
Mm, I figured it was something like that. [That the bodies were an important bridge or tether in some way.] If being in pieces is a problem, I can just patch them back up, anyway. [...] Not sure what to do about Shinobu's missing organs, though! That would be tricky to handle.

[Goodbye, tiny sweet bun... He grins, though, and lifts a hand in greeting when they speak. Over he moseys to grab that seat!]
Hope you'll excuse me! I did mean to come say hello again sooner, but the week got away from me, hah.
[Sometimes memshares happen and then murder happens a lot!]

... Not exactly. [a light shrug, tired.] We thought it would be safer to keep that information to ourselves, Wei Wuxian. Most of you are strangers to us, and we thought... Well, we couldn't guarantee someone wouldn't use that knowledge for evil. It wouldn't have been the first time someone learned how to screw everyone else over, and did it anyway because they enjoy being a total douchebag.
| | Oh yeah? [HE'S. NOT SURE HOW HE FEELS ABOUT THINGS BEING PULLED OUT OF WEI WUXIAN'S SHIRT BUT...it's fine. that happens, and instead he's going to trade cinnabun for whatever this bag is. have your bun rights, cuddle the bun.] This isn't more stuff you grew in the ground, is it? [but he'll open the bag. hello?] |
Neither am I, but I think... I have the feeling it's going to be okay.
[and considering his connection with the dead here, he thinks having that feeling is probably good enough.
he turns back to the pool, too. nie huaisang's the most recent one in, so of course he's the most visible.]
...this week was... harder.

--Well, I can't blame you for that. [He rolls his shoulders in a light little shrug. He really can't disagree with that at all...]
Shame things ended up this way and knowing how at least two of you are, you're going to blame yourselves regardless, but. I really do doubt there was anything that could have been done to get through this without triggering the game.
