[it's a fairly normal-looking cabin on the inside! there's a bed, desk, closet, so on. the desk has a couple gray books and stacks of papers, and potted plants are scattered around. the bunny hops up onto the bed to sit next to--
hm. a zombie. shadows isn't wearing his void robe, and it's clear he's a very dead young man; his head is stitched on at the neck, so when he nods, it's slow and careful.]
Damian. Hello. It's- been a while, but I... wanted to speak with you properly this time.
My name is Wen Ning. I'm sorry I couldn't introduce myself before.
On the other side of the door, Damian tenses up, but doesn't leap back or grimace. It's clear he is surprised, and his immediate instinct on being surprised is to be prepared. JESUS. But then he relaxes, and his expression is replaced by clinical curiosity.
"Zombie" is the accepted modern denotation for a revenant, yes. That's why they were missing from the entertainment room. Anything to do with zombies.
[He is looking Wen Ning over because it's really not every day you get to converse with a reanimated corpse. He is surprised by... the lack of decomposition maybe.]
Wen Ning then. Do you remember everything before? About this place, how you got here.
[sometimes you roll up on two people already losing their minds and it's FINE. Anyway.]
The banner... that was yours, wasn't it? We've been asked about... clarification someone else received about your message. I wanted to ask if anyone had passed that on to... you, as well.
[considering he has been himself about it and kept his involvement quieter, and all.]
The banner was mine, yes. I wanted everyone to discuss its meaning without getting caught up in idle and distracting chatter regarding romance.
[Wen Ning, looking at Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji and sweating.]
You mean converging into one team? Brown wouldn't tell me how she knew, but said someone confirmed it. Taako said people's scrunchies were changing, the sequins. To gold.
[At this, Damian glances away, expression thoughtful but pensive.]
Unless we find out any other information on our side, or hear any other pressing information from the dead, I believe we should try. If Brown thinks she can trust who she received the confirmation from, then... I trust her.
[HE WILL NEVER SAY ANOTHER NICE THING ABOUT STEPHANIE BROWN IN HIS LIFE.]
I don't know what this will accomplish aside from an organized group which can fight a manifestation of the residue. If that's truly the case. It could be blocking the establishment of portals home. Otherwise... we shall simply end the game, but be stuck in this dimension together forever. [He looks back.] What do you think? The three of you are in the same situation with the rest of us.
I'm not sure exactly what will happen if we manage it, but... I think there are ideas? We're willing to go along, if everyone agrees on something to try. It sounds like it might help.
[also, after saying he believes they should try it-- damian will find the sequins on his scrunchie have turned from pink to a soft gold color! if he shows this to anyone, just flag us so we can tell you if they'll be able to see it, fingerguns.]

It's actually Frankenstein's monster?]
You're--undead.

... I prefer not being called one, though. I don't... like the zombie movies. We don't make others undead.

[he'll admit it. if anyone wants the zombies he knows where they are.]
I still don't know exactly how we got here. I... woke up on a bus, too. We just arrived a long time before the rest of you.
[a brief pause there, brow furrowed. he doesn't like thinking about that bus ride.]
But I wanted to ask you about something, too.
no subject
After Winter and Heart.
[It's a question, but not a question. The fact Wen Ning doesn't remember much isn't surprising. Damian's brows furrow.]
Ask.

[:O What the HECK??? Him scrunchie!! He? looks at it? since it's on his wrist with the rope bracelet.
????
He glances at Wen Ning with the same ?? expression. Hmm. Taako's "good vibes," huh?]
no subject
[he sounds pleased! more gold...]
You're not the first one who's... had that happen. But we think it's something good.
no subject
I suppose my hypothesis about the golden rule might not be far off then... Interesting.
