Hello, Xue Yang. I've been asked to talk to you on a certain matter.

[bringingdowndisaster]

...What?

[voice, after pairings]

[reformedsinner]

Good afternoon, Xue Yang.

It seems I'm your warden this month. I'd like to talk a little, since we haven't had the chance to before now.

[voice]

[bringingdowndisaster]

Great.

[ He's clearly thrilled about this. ]

What do you wanna talk about?

[ continued from here ]

Massacring the Chang had made it so that he's been able to stop thinking about it so much, but it hadn't dimmed much of his anger at the world. So no, revenge certainly hasn't been healing.

The bite to his neck makes him groan. The pain from it is nice. Distracting. Makes it easier to not think about things he'd rather not occupy his thoughts with. He finds himself wanting to be fucked hard enough that he'll forget about everything. Even if just momentarily.

"Mmm... harder," he breathes, arching when his nipples are bitten too.

Solving a problem vengefully has only given birth to further problems and more hatred. Guangyao is filled to the brim with hatred. Anyone near him is bound to be roped into the darkness.

Pain is his specialty. He makes no sound of assent. Instead he pushes Xue Yang back onto the bed and rids them of any clothes that are in the way.

"Oil?" he asks in a rough voice, lifting his head to bite at Xue Yang's lips.

[After Cho Gonou goes into a coma, not that Jedao is announcing that at all.]

[deuceoftears]

Xue Yang, right?

[He gets the pronunciation right; he looks Chinese, even though he isn't.]

I'm Jedao. Quick question. Do you like games?

[bringingdowndisaster]

Yeah?

[ Xue Yang raises an eyebrow, immediately wary. ]

Depends, I guess. What kinda game are we talking about?

shortly after temp pairings go up

[colorofthesky]

Hi. Xue Yang, right? I’m Zack, your temp for this month.

Just checking in to see if you’re doing all right with this port and if there’s anything you need.

[bringingdowndisaster]

[ Xue Yang rolls his eyes and sighs. ]

Great. This useless shit again. No, I don't need anything.

Zero spam

[colorofthesky]

It doesn’t take Zack long to arrive after Xue Yang is placed in Zero. He’s not happy at all, and he fully intends to get to the bottom of this.

He pulls up a chair outside the cell and sits in it backwards, his arms crossed over the back of it.

“You know, this really isn’t a great way to start off our official Warden-Inmate relationship. I hope that little stunt was worth it to you because you look like shit.”

Re: Zero spam

[bringingdowndisaster]

Xue Yang is not happy about being locked in a cell. It makes him feel like a caged animal. He's been pacing around, occasionally kicking a wall. His robes are covered in blood still, and his face looks pretty messed up. Nothing broken - amazingly enough - but he's very bruised and swollen, with dried blood around his nose and on his cheek.

He looks up when he hears someone approach and sneers slightly at the sight of his warden.

"It was," is all he says, smirking slightly.

[cobbledtogetherenvy]

Envy doesn't keep a particularly close watch on his fellow prisoners, so he only vaguely suspects he hasn't seen this one before. He notices the details about people, or he couldn't mimic them, but the overall picture isn't of any interest. He's not up to much at the moment--he rarely is, slouching resentfully through his time on the barge with immortal patience and teenage petulance. And he's bored enough to be rude to a stranger to pass the time. "You're not even going to have that arm replaced?" Envy mostly looks like a half-grown teenager, short and on the skinny side, but just enough about him is just flatly not right. Eyes too wide, smirk sitting wrong. A cynical imitation of the sort of human other humans like to prey on. It amuses him to be bait.

And also he's stuck like this.

[bringingdowndisaster]

Xue Yang has only just woken up from a sudden, unexplained coma that he was apparently in for almost a month. It's not left him any chance to actually deal with the fallout of the last flood, so he's not exactly in a great mood when he emerges from his warden's room. He has no desire to remain there, and decides to just return to his own room. After he's eaten something because he is fucking starving.

On his way to the kitchen, some little shit catches his attention. He doesn't recognize the guy so he's not going to make any assumptions about him. Xue Yang rolls his eyes. "I thought about it, but I've decided I just prefer being a fucking cripple," he says sarcastically.

I'm sorry.

[ Someone is still pissed. ]

[bringingdowndisaster]

[ Continued from here! ]

Xue Yang lets out a surprised little squeak when he's lifted, and then laughs. He wraps his arms tighter around Song Lan's neck and lets his legs follow to wrap around his lover's waist.

[zichen]

Song Zichen presses Xue Yang against the nearest wall, kissing him again. He then grins and types, quickly, feeling nervous and excited:

"I spoke to Ulla. She just needs my blood and some time to make the spell. Will you be with me for it?"

[malicing]

Cheng... Chengmei! I need your help! {He is bleeding profusely from a head wound and staggering through the various corridors to...one of their rooms. It doesn't matter which.}

Re: {Video}

[bringingdowndisaster]

A-Yao? What happened?

[ As he asks that he quickly opens the door to his cabin to look for Meng Yao. ]

[Action]

[zichen]

Whether Xue Yang is resting in Zichen's cabin or his own, Zichen finds him. He hesitates at the door, filled with excitement and uncertainty. The pain of the procedure lingers, but feeling a tongue - his tongue! - in his mouth again supersedes everything. He hasn't tried speaking. Not yet. He wants his first words to be special.

So he opens the door and walks inside, pretending to pull out his communicator.

Only to place it on the table and step away from it.

[bringingdowndisaster]

Xue Yang has taken to slip into Song Lan's cabin more often than not since the Halloween party. Song Lan had told him he could, and so he does. He prefers not to be alone, and Song Lan's cabin is much nicer.

He's just woken up from a nap when Song Lan enters. "What's up?" he asks when he just stands there and pulls the communicator out, frowning a bit when he puts it away. He's still a little sleep-confused, so it doesn't click for him what it could mean.

[Private Video]

[zichen]

Xue Yang.

[They both know what has happened.]

Don't hide. Let me help.

[bringingdowndisaster]

Xue Yang has hidden away in his own cabin this time. Being surrounded by reminders of Yi City is both comforting and painful. He's sitting on the floor, by his bed, with his legs pressed up to his chest and arms wrapped around them. He's all cried out, now feeling mostly numb.

He'd been in Song Lan's cabin when he saw the announcement on the network. He'd cried and raged, destroyed some things in the cabin before making his way here.

He ignores the communicator. Whoever it is can come looking for him.

[zichen]

Will you meet me on the deck?

[Text] > [Action]

[bringingdowndisaster]

Alright.

Xue Yang certainly feels a little awkward after the breach - as he always tends to. Experiencing a different life is always jarring, as is having relationships with people on the Barge that are wildly different, and yet with a feeling like it could've been like this if the circumstances were different too...

It always leaves him with a lot of complicated thoughts and feelings. Sighing to himself, he makes his way to the deck to meet with Song Lan - feeling awkward about that too.

a few days after the breach!

[wildguardian]

Hey there, Xue Yang. How are you doing? Came out of that breach all right?

[bringingdowndisaster]

Zhao Yunlan, right? [ A name he may only remember because he can actually pronounce it... ] Yeah, I'm fine. Why?

aaaaction

[sefirot]

Sephiroth is really starting to regret allowing the animal to come with him back to the ship. Not only does it constantly knock stuff around, but today decided it's a good day to dart out the door.

Now Sephiroth is fast, he's actually very fast. But even being fast doesn't help when cats are liquid very capable of slipping away. Especially one that can apparently parkour off the wall in multiple directions.

By now he's just going to let the thing (hopefully) tire itself out, though it has made it's way to Xue Yang's cabin door and attempts to climb up it with the gravity defying abilities only kittens contain.

catcion

[bringingdowndisaster]

It's actually Song Lan's cabin, though they now share it, so technically it's Xue Yang's too. He's alone in it when he hears scratching on the door and goes to open, eyebrows raised when he sees the... cat? It's weird-looking, but then again, he's seen weirder on the Barge before.

"Hey kitty," he greets, bending down to offer his hand for the weird cat to sniff.

[After he finds the way out - Voice]

[zichen]

Xue - [Zichen's voice is broken, muffled by water and distance.] -ang!

- can't -

get back!

Answer me? [He is panicking and he can do nothing but yell into the communicator.]

voice

[bringingdowndisaster]

[ It feels like he's been waiting forever. He's met others down here, and he's been fighting undead. There's also been some sinkholes appearing out of nowhere that he's been trying to avoid as he almost got sucked through one of them.

He's worried about Song Lan, but tries not to let it get to him. At least he's not gotten hungry, thirsty or even sleepy while here. Nor has he needed to use the bathroom. It seems like this place is keeping those things at bay.

Finally, he hears his lover's voice through the communicator. ]

Song Lan! I'm still here! Did you get out?

After the Breach ~ [Action]

[zichen]

[The moment he transforms back into a man, Song Zichen is on a mission. He sees that all of their pets are clean and looking their best for the occasion. Then he acquires as many sweets as he can - along with some flowers he grew himself in the greenhouse.

With everything set up to his liking, he sends a message to Xue Yang:]

I'm waiting for you.

<3

[bringingdowndisaster]

What a strange breach that had been! Xue Yang is glad to be back to normal. Being a tiny shrew had been pretty inconvenient. Thanks to the breach though, he's completely forgotten about his birthday that was a couple of days ago, so he has no suspicions when he receives a message from Song Lan.

He smiles to himself and sends a response; I'm on my way!

Once he reaches their cabin he opens the door to greet his lover. "A-Lan!"

[bringingdowndisaster]

From here

[ Xue Yang grins and lightly nips at Song Lan's lips. ]

Is that so bad?

>:3

[zichen]

No. I prefer it that way. [Zichen swivels and presses Xue Yang against the bed.]

[Action]

[zichen]

[He returns to their cabin with his guqin, alerting the cats to something new! They rush around his legs, meowing and chirping, until he sits on the bed. Then they hop up and inspect the instrument, sniffing the wood and the strings. Wow!]

[bringingdowndisaster]

Xue Yang arrives at the cabin not long after. He's pleased to see his husband as he opens the door and tilts his head in surprise at the sight of the guqin. "Are you learning how to play?" he asks as he approaches Song Lan for his customary hug and kiss greeting.

[Voice]

[zichen]

Xue Yang! I've... I've got the cats and the snake. I let our bird out of his cage. But -

Where are you? [Soaked and cradling some miserably wet animals, Zichen is sitting in a quickly fashioned - and small - boat.]

Re: [Voice]

[bringingdowndisaster]

[ Xue Yang is stuck inside the ship, but has found an air pocket. His hands are trembling a bit as he lifts the communicator to speak. This is reminding him a little too much of that horrible death river. ]

A-Lan! I-I'm in the ship! Where are you?

[Text]

[zichen]

A-Yang.

A-Yang, I'm -

Please, I need to see you.

A-Lan, are you alright? Where are you?
