[PHOENIX]

[once you pass through the clocktower door, you find yourself in a closed room complete with a central table, notebooks and pens, and a white board for strategizing]

[a digital clock on the wall counts down to the end of the game. time to get to work, right?]
laughitoff: (you wrote a ship song?)

Maybe! It's not our place to worry about it, since we can't affect their fate either way.
mountanoffensive: (that's something we'll get to later)

[personal profile] mountanoffensive 2022-04-30 10:53 pm (UTC)(link)
I know. We were just covering what you knew about them.
laughitoff: (it's a metaphor.)

[personal profile] laughitoff 2022-04-30 10:58 pm (UTC)(link)
...right, then.
mountanoffensive: (wind on your mane)

[personal profile] mountanoffensive 2022-04-30 11:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Which I guess just brings us back to the original target.
laughitoff: (it's a metaphor.)

[personal profile] laughitoff 2022-04-30 11:09 pm (UTC)(link)
It certainly does!
mountanoffensive: (please stop that)

[personal profile] mountanoffensive 2022-04-30 11:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Great. So now we get to sit here and hope we don't haphazardly murder a friend.
laughitoff: (imaginaaaation.)

[personal profile] laughitoff 2022-04-30 11:16 pm (UTC)(link)
At least the whole prison's in this together, no?
mountanoffensive: (and the dangers come to claim you)

[personal profile] mountanoffensive 2022-04-30 11:21 pm (UTC)(link)
That really doesn't make things any better...
laughitoff: (but it hasn't happened yet.)

[personal profile] laughitoff 2022-04-30 11:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, it's graveyard humor.
mountanoffensive: (this is kind of a lot)

[personal profile] mountanoffensive 2022-04-30 11:24 pm (UTC)(link)
It is pretty grave.
laughitoff: (oh; they want to sing.)

[personal profile] laughitoff 2022-04-30 11:41 pm (UTC)(link)
...

[this conversation does not seem to be going anywhere else right now, so Wei Wuxian picks up one of the unused papers from the desk and starts folding it instead.]
mountanoffensive: (one careful step at a time)

[personal profile] mountanoffensive 2022-04-30 11:53 pm (UTC)(link)
... what's that for?
laughitoff: (climbed the rolling hills.)

[personal profile] laughitoff 2022-04-30 11:55 pm (UTC)(link)
It's just a paper bird. We don't have much else to mess around with, in here.
mountanoffensive: (well then)

[personal profile] mountanoffensive 2022-04-30 11:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Can you make it fly?
laughitoff: (intensity.)

[personal profile] laughitoff 2022-05-01 12:05 am (UTC)(link)
Huh? Sure, if I put some energy into it.
mountanoffensive: (we are all just fragile things)

[personal profile] mountanoffensive 2022-05-01 12:33 am (UTC)(link)
I'm trying to improve my skills on something similar. Watching someone else might help.
laughitoff: (we're not afraid of fighting.)

[personal profile] laughitoff 2022-05-01 12:40 am (UTC)(link)
Eh, all right...

[when he finishes folding the bird -- it's a crane -- he gestures with his hand, and a couple of faint wisps of reddish energy take shape under it, pushing it steadily upward and around the room. it's less making the bird itself move, and more making the energy buoy it lightly up.]
mountanoffensive: (commune with the shaman)

[personal profile] mountanoffensive 2022-05-01 01:01 am (UTC)(link)
So you use energy instead of magic?
laughitoff: (hey hey hey hey hey)

[personal profile] laughitoff 2022-05-01 01:04 am (UTC)(link)
The two things are about the same, where I'm from.
mountanoffensive: (where does food come from)

[personal profile] mountanoffensive 2022-05-01 01:16 am (UTC)(link)
How do you focus it?
laughitoff: (detailing every treason.)

[personal profile] laughitoff 2022-05-01 01:18 am (UTC)(link)
Concentration? Meditation?
mountanoffensive: (this is kind of a lot)

[personal profile] mountanoffensive 2022-05-01 01:26 am (UTC)(link)
That explains why I'm still struggling when I'm not with my herd.
mountanoffensive: (we are all just fragile things)

[personal profile] mountanoffensive 2022-05-01 02:35 am (UTC)(link)
I think so. It's easier to not think about anything else when I'm around them.
laughitoff: (it's a metaphor.)

[personal profile] laughitoff 2022-05-01 02:40 am (UTC)(link)
You'll just have to figure out an alternative, I guess.
