[ Oh, hey. My poisoning isn't kicking my ass. He had to stop circulating his energy to concentrate the poison in his body so he could spit it out -- super gross, super wrong -- but it had allowed him to pick up five purple scales and keep them on his person. Shen Qingqiu didn't stop removing the poison because he wanted to, but because his energy had drained down and he was attempting to wait for it to build up so he could keep doing what he was doing.

Until then, it was enduring a feeling of "OH FUCK, THIS IS THE END!" due to stacked poison status. But now he is feeling pretty good. He lifts his head up, smiling to himself. Fuck you, scales! His expression remains neutral as he feels rather good about his decisions. He was able to get rid of scales that people could have picked up, and endured the time the poisoned was and -- ]


Why am I red? [ He turns his hands over a few times as he looks at himself. His eyes drift down then snap back up. Oh fuck! Fuck! He is on his feet -- or rather her feet. FUCK! His arms are out like somehow that'll help him find his body faster! ]

Pyra! [ His hand slaps over his mouth as he hears his voice as her voice yet his thoughts are his thoughts. That's ... that's a situation I will fucking deal with in a second. He is off running, looking for his body. Don't be dead in a ditch! Don't be dead in a ditch! Don't be dead in a ditch!!! ]

a. GAINED 1 SWORD



[ After the mishap involving the sudden switch in bodies, he decides that he should not just keep up the task of picking up purple scales. Til we meet again, motherfuckers! Which is to say that he absolutely plans to keep picking them up as soon as his body is returned to him, but right now -- he has Pyra's body on loan and going to take good care of it.

Unfortunately, he has somewhat perfected the resting bitch-face while he's chilling out thinking of what he is going to need to do and what needs to be done. Well, at least, I didn't have Xiu Ya with me. The one time I'm glad I don't have my sword.

It's an idle thought of his but suddenly a a huge fuck-off sword manifests in his grip. WHAT THE FUCK?!

He lifts the sword up to stare at it in mild horror. What?! Yet while he's screaming to himself, his (or rather her?) expression remains impassive and calm. He lightly swings the blade to leave a deep cut in the ground and immediately pulls the sword back. AHHHHH!! ]


b. The Pyrafect Lady



[ So, he's in her body now. He could just tell people that he's now in her body, but it feels a bit rude? Invasive?!

There is panic in the disco of his heart as he decides to find a tablecloth to make a hole in so that he makes himself a makeshift moo-moo dress. Not that there is anything wrong with how Pyra dresses, but he doesn't want anyone to get the wrong idea!! He's not ogling or being inappropriate! He's not! Okay?!

He should just say that this is for the mission, and yet instead, when he meets someone -- his brain panics. ]


Yes? Do you perhaps need my help? My help ... being Pyra's help? [ This probably would work better if he had not spent the better half of six years practicing controlling his facial expressions and so "Pyra's" face appears relatively calm, aloof, and elegant, despite the wording of "her" questions. ]

[ Shen Qingqiu skids to a halt as he hears another voice in his head. It's not his own. It's female. It doesn't sound like a Google-translate voice. But panic immediately strikes him as he starts running around in a circle. No, no, no, no, no! His hands are pressed against his ears as he takes off in a sprint.

How! How did the System get turned back on?! How?! He's more than a little fearful that he's going to have to listen to someone give him orders or else his existence is null-and-void!! No! He feels like his body can't do half as much as he wants to do with it, actually. It feels like it's sealed. He knows this feeling due to having been poisoned so many times in the past.

What a shitty reason to know that a body's not at it's top. He stops running around in a circle abruptly. Wait, she's hindered? Why? His hand gently touches his own chest. Hey, why? That... hey, are you okay? He's talking, of course, to an imaginary Pyra. ]

[ I touched her chest.

Shen Qingqiu is back to running about in a circle but this time with his hands up. That was an accident! Just as he wants to keep running about in this manner -- he remembers what that voice told him. I hate it. I hate it. I hate it. I hate it!

But he keeps running, just letting his thoughts clear out so that he can focus on his own energy. Right. Yeah. I know it. As he rounds for yet another lap, his head snaps up. Found it! He takes off in a run towards where he thinks that his body might be -- ARMS STILL UP, THOUGH! ]

[He's used to Shen Qingqiu being very elegant and wise-seeming (except when he takes an interest in Jim's love life and future prospect with girls anyway).

So seeing him like this is....definitely different.]


Uh...Shifu? ['What are you doing?' goes unasked but it's there in his tone.

...is this an effect related to a scale?]

[...that smile is downright bizarre to see on that face.

Though he's not actually Shen Qingqiu's student. He just wasn't very confident with pronouncing his name properly.

So it's weird to hear him calling himself 'your shifu'...though less weird than that smile had been. So his look of confusion gets worse even before she tells him that was supposed to be stretching.]


...stretching.

[He sounds a bit disbelieving...is it bad that his first thought is 'possession'?]

Are you okay?

[ Shen Qingqiu wants to make a fuss -- a bigger fuss -- and tell the voice not to tell him what to do. He has a lot of bad memories that come from listening to a voice suddenly instruct him on what he should be doing, but none of what has been said has been bad.

Especially the part of lowering his arms.

He crosses his (her) arms over his chest, pressing everything down. This only makes his face grow much more red, but at least, nothing is bouncing! Jiggle physics are the worst! He never thought he would say such a thing, but he's saying it now! Sprinting around the corner, he nearly eats pavement as he is cuts the corner a little too close, but he's still on his feet!

How the fuck is this fair! Pyra's a good person! She doesn't deserve to be in my body! His screaming gets a little worse until he actually sees her. He gasps at how she looks and idly wonders. ... ah fuck, did I look that bad?

It's very straight to look at his own body through someone else's eyes. But to be fair, that isn't his body, either. But it has been the one he's been occupying for the past years so he's saying finder's keepers. Stop, stop, stop! None of that matters! He's cracking jokes, making light, because he's scared. He knows he's scared and that is just what he does.

He skids to a halt in front of Pyra before reaching out to place his hands on either side of, well, his own face. Same idea. Same idea. The idea of transferring energy into his own body. ]


It'll be all right. It'll be all right. You just need a little energy and you can remove the poison yourself.

[She is terrible at this and also working without all the information.]

...I see.

[But...what kind of stretches were those even? Then again, maybe the stretches a cultivator needed to do were different from the ones he did in his highschool gym class.]

I guess...you'd know best. [Pause.] You...haven't been picking up any of the scales, have you?

[Because he hasn't quite written of the idea that something might be affecting him.]

[ Listen!

Inwardly, he twists his head around to look toward the voice that is scolding him right now. He is holding up his index finger and pointing it in warning.

Physically, he is doing none of these things. He continues to hold Pyra's -- his own -- face and give reassuring words as he tries to heal her.

I saw those poison scales around. I couldn't just let them lie there where anyone could pick them up. I'm not some trembling masochist that wanted to keep poisoning myself, but--!!

It kind of ended up the way that it did. He wasn't going to let someone accidentally pick one of those scales up. If he could take it, he could take it. And up to a certain point, he could take it. His energy just was getting a little zapped from dealing with five different poison states.

Why did you want this body? It's no good. You hear? The owner of it... he does stupid things with it. Look, he is willing to admit picking up as many scales as he could is beyond ridiculous, but what other choice was there?! ]


I know ... I know, it hurts...

[ My ability to tolerate pain has gone up considerably. But really, don't be like me. The reason why he could deal with so much pain is that he's been in so much pain. He developed a tolerance due to situations that he couldn't avoid getting into. (He could, he absolutely could have avoided getting into them, but he got into them anyway!!)

Great. Authorization. He's happy and he's not happy.

At least, he's able to give her energy instead of feeling like he's trying to force cement through the worst sieve in the history of fucking ever! His eyes widen as his body is actually glowing as he shares his energy properly with her. Okay, okay, okay. Pyra should be used to energy if he understands vaguely how her body works. ]


There's ... there's a lot wrong with your body right now. But you need only circulate your energy through what is hurting most. It'll drag the poison out. From there, you concentrate inside of you ... into like a ball... and spit it up.

[ This is what he's been doing. No one roast him for how the dumbest idea has been working so well, okay?! ]

[Xie Lian occasionally likes to visit Shen Qingqiu, just to chat. Share poetry! Drink some tea! Consider the weather! Old people talk. And honestly after switching bodies with Wuxian the other day he could do with an easygoing meetup like that.

Which is why he's here right now! Smiling up at his tall cultivator friend.]


Hello! I hope you don't mind the visit. I've brought homemade bread today, would you like to share?

[Pulling a loaf out of his sleeve as he says this. He has a roommate that can cook now!! Important update.]

[Jim isn't actually a huge sword nerd...even if he's still a bit of a nerd. But, regardless, that's still a pretty cool sword! Especially since it can apparently cut into the ground just like that.

So excuse his staring. ALSO HEY. SOMEONE ELSE HAS A SWORD THAT CAN APPEAR OUT OF NOWHERE.]


Whoa. That's really cool!
