I'd like to creep into the wood And see the bonnets blue, And hear the bluebells ringing loud, I wish I could -- don't you?
t's another day, another month, and another time for people to show up in the well. You'd better go rescue them! Never mind the fact that you woke up with a flower in your hands.
It's probably fine. Don't mind it at all. It's not like it's hard to ignore a little flower.
(At least, not until the effects start to kick in. Better go rescue the people in the well before they do.)
Oh, right. Even the people in the well have flowers, so... things are going to be a little ridiculous very quickly, when all of those side effects kick in. Have fun!
Welcome to Awash's Twenty-fifth event log, everyone! Further information on this event can be found here at the OOC post. You are welcome to make your own logs and posts for this event!
If there are any questions, please ask them here. Thank you!
[The problem here is that...he'd met Lan Wangji as Xia Sini and he was not going to talk about the disaster that was his meeting with Wei Wuxian (assuming, they even got around to introducing themselves the thread is on going).
Then again, he was an elder of the sect, would it be so weird to have asked about the people a junior disciple met?]
I have heard of the Second Young Master Lan. His sect isn't one I have ever heard of. It seems we come from different worlds.
[Oddly enough, he has a lot of interest that are shared with Wei Wuxian...though whether they will ever get to a point where they can talk about them is up in the air.]
SiSheng Peak is one of the only major sects that operates in the lower cultivation realm, an area known for being poor and rife with dangers. Since most of the major sects were content to leave the people there to their own devices, our Sect Master and his late brother decided to found a sect to protect the people there.
We do not have lofty principles like Ru Feng Men, but our Sect Master will never turn away a request, and he has often refused to accept payment for a job. [Which is why, despite being such a large sect they're actually quite poor. But he doesn't hate it. After all, no other sect that he knows of would let him sell the mechas he creates for pennies just for the sake of being able to offer protection to more faraway villages.] The disciples of our sect are also prone to jumping into bad situations to try to fix them without any thought about gain, only because they want to do what's right.
[His expression is...as severe as ever, but there's something warm in his gaze.]
Ahh... What a wonderful cause. With a name like "Life and Death Peak", I thought your sect would be more grim, but it's actually a very warmhearted group, isn't it?
[ She beams at him. It must mean he's secretly warm at heart too...!! Maybe his grumpiness is just a result of the strange mood going around town. ]
Oh, but you're new here, right? Would you like me to show you some of my favorite spots in town?
[They are a very warmhearted group. He really enjoyed being a part of it.
Though she was wrong about his personality in a way. He was actually far clingier today than usual.
Which is why he nods and accepts the invitation to go see her favourite spots. Normally he would have already tried to leave, but today...he didn't want to be alone.]
It's been four months for me, and I believe the most senior among us have been here for one year. I didn't expect to be here for quite so long, but at least I have good company. The people here are very kind.
[ Good company, sad food.............. She begins to lead them in a certain direction, a destination evidently in mind. ]
Did you have pressing business to attend to before you arrived here?
No. [And he wanted to see. To know that Mo Ran really was fine...that all of them were fine...] How do we know that it's real and not some sort of trick?
I suppose there's always the possibility... I'm not the best example, but I can at least say that the images I see are faithful. My time was frozen when I came here, and so I always see the same frozen scene when I look into the lake.
However, I know that others have seen a number of visions anywhere from past to present to future. I've never heard reason to suspect their verity. But in the end, I suppose you'll have to decide for yourself how much you want to believe.
[ Will this be an interesting story? Saber tries to make it as succinct as possible so as not to bore him... ]
I made a contract with the World that I would obtain a certain relic before I died. Therefore, time was frozen before the moment of my death so that I could fulfill the conditions of that contract. Once I obtain the relic that I seek, time will resume normally in my world.
What relic? And why would you make such a promise? If time is frozen then...what has happened to the rest of the world? What will happen if you don't find this relic?
[ So many questions, so many answers... Saber tries to line them up straight. ]
The relic was called the Holy Grail, an item of unfathomable magical energy. I sought it with the intention of saving my homeland. The rest of the world is simply frozen as well. And it's a foregone conclusion that I'll obtain the Grail; given an infinite number of attempts at grasping it, it's inevitable that I will one day succeed. When that happens, time will resume as if it never stopped to begin with.

[ She claps her hands gently in recognition. ]
Would you happen to be familiar with Lan Wangji or Wei Wuxian? They're part of their own sects as well, I believe.
[ She... believes... There's a lot going on in their backgrounds that she's hazy on, despite knowing them for months now. ]

[ The fact that Saber is recommending anyone to Wei Wuxian is a true sign of her flower's sway over her... ]
If you don't mind my asking, what principles rule your sect?

That's the kind of sect ShiSheng Peak is.

He'd heard it from others but every time he hears it, he could feel his heart drop.]
...yes. My disciple who has been training elsewhere seems to have gotten into some trouble.
[Framed for murder, more like.]
I had wanted to continue monitoring the situation in case it got dangerous for him.
no subject
[ This is probably a little more important than showing him her favorite places around town, so Saber alters their course in favor of this new idea. ]
There is a lake here which shows images of your home world. Have you heard of it?
no subject
