camping shenanigans mingle log; open

[equivocations]

WHO: the Lan-Wuxian-Jiang-Meng family + you!

WHAT: camping shenanigans mingle log! Join the family camp for food, conversation, etc

WHEN: spanning throughout the event in the forest

WHERE: the family camp + surrounding area

NOTES: none right now, will update as needed

Night hunts are practically routine where Lan Xichen's from, at least for cultivators, and exploring an unfamiliar forest with relatively unknown dangers doesn't seem any different just because it's in another world. There certainly seems to be something of a sense of ease as they travel, and then as they set up camp.

During the day, there's a flurry of activity as the camp's occupants drift in and out, setting up or taking down tents, making weapons or food, going off to collect firewood or go hunting or fishing, patrol the area or anything else that needs doing.

In the evening there's a roaring fire to ward off the chill, the scent of cooking food and the sound of conversation.

Someone - quite likely Lan Xichen himself - will invite anyone who happens nearby to come sit down, warm themselves by the fire and have something to eat.

At night, there's likely always someone up on watch who might need company, or who might come to investigate someone nearby.

[His head snaps back. Mechanics whir as he tilts it to the side, as if in consideration.]

This is what I'm talking about, kid. You're smart. She's going to thank you for that one.

[Exactly what one that is, he doesn't say. He watches Wei Wuxian look past him to the camp, impassive.]

She thinks you could use the reminder. How many more people do you want to see there?

[There's no fluctuation in his voice to indicate if that's an offer or a threat.]

[scaredofdogs]

[His eyes narrow slightly. Perhaps the tea is not the gift he thought it was..perhaps the more power he gains, the more useful he becomes to her in some way.

How many more..is she bringing more people from their world? Of course..for him it technically has only been lan Wangji. The rest all part of whatever mirror world his soul twin resides in. But they are as much his family in his heart, as his twins.]

A reminder..If she is trying to bring people back as a reminder of my mistakes then that's a pretty nasty game. Or is she attempting to be kind by allowing second chances to correct them?

[Even if they aren't second chances for him..Or it could be bringing more of his family to danger. Which he really hopes is not the case. If it is, he will protect them better then he was ever able to do on his own world.]

[madmarch]

Good questions, aren't they? Her Royal Highness has many sides to her.

[He sounds almost approving.

He doesn't answer them, either. The answer should be obvious, he thinks.

It's yes.]

Trust me, you don't want to disappoint her.

[scaredofdogs]

I can't really promise I won't try to hunt for answers. And the more powers she gives me, the easier it will be to find some. I heard from the White King that she isn't the easiest of people to get along with.

[He folds his arms in front of his chest because he hardly feels like he has gotten any answers at this point.]

Why did you suddenly come to talk to me?

[madmarch]

Sounds like you better keep drinking them. Must be worth it to talk to an old windbag even the history books forgot.

[There's the sound of his mechanical chuckle again.]

Have a good night, Wei Wuxian. Say hi to Lan Zhan for me, will you? Doesn't matter which one.

[With that, he slips back into the tree and dissappears once more. This time, he doesn't return.]

[scaredofdogs]

[He spins around looking to see if he will emerge again from somewhere.]

Come back here you bastard!! You can't just leave like that!

[He slams his hand into the nearest tree in anger. He really doesn't like that guy.]

And you're not allowed to call them Lan Zhan..

[The fact he knows so much about all of them..is almost terrifying.]
