Alright. There's something I need to tell you first... [ He bites his lip and then changes his mind. ] Actually, no, I will get out of here and I'll tell you when I do.
[ He shuts the communicator off and stuffs it into his robes. He sheaths both swords in his qiankun sleeve and nods determinedly to himself.
A couple of hours later, he turns the communicator back on. He sounds absolutely exhausted. ]
Fuck, I made it to the next portal. It's some weird waterfall that flows backwards? I think I have to climb up somehow, but I'm gonna take a break first. I found some rocks to rest on for now.
[He will seek out the Admiral and make himself heard in the meantime. This is far worse than man overboard! Eventually he finds himself on deck, still soaking wet, his hair sticking to his cheeks as he looks over the side. He isn't sure what he is expecting to see, but his heart is in his throat the entire time.
Jumping at the sound of Xue Yang's voice, he fumbles with his communicator.]

Re: voice
Date: 2024-01-28 11:11 am (UTC)How difficult was it to get out of here? Maybe if I manage it, I'll get brought back to the Barge as well...
voice
Date: 2024-01-28 11:29 am (UTC)[And that is the cruelest part of all to Zichen.]
Can you get back under the waterfall?
Re: voice
Date: 2024-01-28 11:41 am (UTC)Yeah, I think so, but I won't be able to talk to you when I go over since I'll need to swim. [ And against a strong current! ]
voice
Date: 2024-01-28 11:43 am (UTC)[One way or another...]
I need you to come home.

Date: 2024-01-28 11:50 am (UTC)I'll remind you, don't worry. Just focus on swimming. Once you're on the Barge, you will be with me.
Re: voice
Date: 2024-01-28 12:00 pm (UTC)Mm, I'm going now. I'll talk to you again when I can.

A-Yang? [He curses softly.] Use Fuxue. Fly up it.
Re: voice
Date: 2024-01-28 12:40 pm (UTC)Oh, right. Yeah, I'll do that in a moment. I don't know what's on the other side. I need to get some strength back.
voice
Date: 2024-01-28 12:48 pm (UTC)Which he will be...right?]
Do I need to anger you? I should be good at that. [If love won't do, he will rely on rage.]
Re: voice
Date: 2024-01-28 12:50 pm (UTC)Idiot. Why would that help?
Re: voice
Date: 2024-01-28 12:53 pm (UTC)[Is it sad that he would gladly embrace a fight?]
I never believed you could be beaten by any magic.
Re: voice
Date: 2024-01-28 12:57 pm (UTC)I just need some rest. I promise, I'll come back to you. No way in hell am I staying in this shitty place.
Did you get in touch with the Admiral yet?
voice
Date: 2024-01-28 01:02 pm (UTC)A-Yang, you just...have to keep trying. [There is one way for Xue Yang to return, but Zichen wants to avoid it at all cost.]
I'm sorry. I would jump off of this damn boat if I thought it would help.
Re: voice
Date: 2024-01-28 01:05 pm (UTC)[ He smiles a little. ] You'd just get transported back. I think only the Admiral can let us off the ship.

Date: 2024-01-28 01:07 pm (UTC)[Please don't make him say it.]
A-Yang...
