Opening my eyes again in casted darkness... (January Catch-all)

🌊Who: He Xuan, and anyone else.
🌊What: Things happening; they're self-explanatory.
🌊When: January.
🌊Where: Varies.
🌊Warnings: Kidnapping, mentions of suicide & forced induction into harems; involvement of violence/murder. Anything else that may occur will be added or adequately warned for in the thread. TGCF spoilers, but since this already deals with memories, that's a requirement, really.



i. gravitation

[ No matter where He Xuan finds himself, whereas it's on the beach or somewhere else, there seems to be some kind of nonsense afoot. Some...feline nonsense at that.

They're all congregating rudely around him and he is essentially helpless to their attacks (cuddles and piling around his feet.)

He practically glares at anyone who catches him in the midst of this. ]


What?

ii. displacement

[ Ghost kings do not get sick, not really. But it doesn't mean that coughing or sneezing is an impossibility for him.

It just so happens he had grabbed something spicy from a restaurant and for some reason found himself sneezing due to some kind of pepper and now he's in the middle of a lake. Soon enough, he's grumbling, extricating himself from the water. What a waste of food. ]


iii. uncharted waters

[ In addition to those, anyone is free to encounter someone who seems to, for all intents and purposes appear to look like He Xuan, and is essence definitely still him. Yet, his appearance clearly differs in subtle ways. His skin isn't so pale, and his ears are not so sharp and he appears a little lost. Feel free to run into him like this, though he will be scrutinizing most people, and there appears to be a sword at his hip, which his hand is hovering on the hilt of. ]

iv. wildcard

[ Self-explanatory...! Open to things that are also not necessarily the above. ]

If you would like to plot with me, I can be reached on plurk @ leyfi, discord @ seraphkingdhaos#8538 and my plotting comment will be here.

[ Ellis doesn't dream.

It's why he's surprised to find himself somewhere after he remembers having gone to sleep for the night. He looks up and he can see what everyone is saying without looking at them, as if he can hear. It's a surreal feeling that he'll have to get used to, but he looks at the person who looks so much like He Xuan. It's at that moment when he realizes that perhaps one of the reasons why he chose to continue interacting with He Xuan was that he had gold eyes. It's a rather small fact in the grand scheme of things, but gold eyes mean so much to Ellis that he can't help but be drawn to them.

He wonders if He Xuan, or the person who resembles him, will be getting engaged soon. The thought will be converted to action as he goes to follow the man.

[ Wow!! What the fuck!! Ellis knows this is pretty messed up, but he still watches with a blank expression in his eyes. People are truly unfair, even if Ellis has no idea what's going on. He sees the two guards talking, and the thought of eavesdropping has never occurred to him, until he realizes that he can do it right now. So this is what it's like to eavesdrop on a conversation. Wow.

He gets a little closer while trying to hide from their sight.

[ For someone who always looks for escape routes, he is already bailing and looking for the foundation difference in the walls so that he can leave. He doubts he can fully ditch them if they can smell something off, but... Ellis doesn't think he smells?! That was hella rude. ]

[ Ellis takes the time to appreciate the small garden before trying to catch up to that figure. At this rate, he's like a moth, trying to go to anything that catches his attention (light). Ellis doesn't know what constitutes as being sneaky, so he'll just... follow the figure. It's fine. ]

[ Oh. Dead bodies.

...

Ellis just casually walks over them, careful not to step on blood puddles because it'll leave shoeprints and he might slip. When he comes to the path division, he tries to peek into the room, since that's the closer thing of interest of the two. What's happening here?

[ Since he's noticed, Ellis pushes the door wide open. He would normally run, but he has a feeling that it won't matter here. He Xuan is mourning, isn't he? At least, that's what Ellis thinks.

He walks closer and tries to stabilize the spot of darkness if that's even possible aka it's up to you whether it works or not! Calm down, dude.

[ Oh, wow. He's never seen water so pitch black before. It makes him want to dip his hand in there. Since this is a dream: ]

It was really annoying.

[ Of course, Ellis can't talk properly, but dreams are very convenient. He reaches into the black water. ]

[ Ellis frowns when he sees the image look back at him with a smile. Disgusting. Is that how he really looks like? He tries to sit back up, but then it seems his arm is caught. Um.

...

He turns his head to look at He Xuan. Help.

[ Cool! He didn't want to experience drowning again, but the one time when he dreams... The peculiarity of it stands out so much that Ellis decides to look for He Xuan after doing his morning routine. He's very familiar with the location of He Xuan's house on the beach, so once he looks around the property and sees that He Xuan isn't around, he looks around the general beach area.

Ah.

He thinks that He Xuan will notice him coming, so he jogs over to him, leaping at the last step to stand next to him. Hi.

[ Ellis nods and tilts his head, smiling a little. Well, he supposes that since it's probably something very personal to He Xuan, he wouldn't be in good spirits either--maybe annoying at best. ]

Do you want to see me mope around?

[personal profile] framestory 2023-01-08 02:25 am (UTC)(link)
[ Ellis nods. He'd understand other people being down after seeing that. Unfortunately (or fortunately?), Ellis is not most people. He doesn't even think of himself as a person. ]

It felt real, especially the drowning part.

[ That's really the only problem he had with it. ]

[personal profile] framestory 2023-01-08 03:55 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Ellis nods. ]

Because it was the only thing that directly affected me.

[ He was watching and walking around everywhere otherwise. But with that said... ]

How long ago was it for you?
