Opening my eyes again in casted darkness... (January Catch-all)
ðWho: He Xuan, and anyone else.
ðWhat: Things happening; they're self-explanatory.
ðWhen: January.
ðWhere: Varies.
ðWarnings: 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.

1/2
If I'm going to get to get closer to you, then I must be able to handle it.
[That's not saying he wants to see He Xuan at his worst, but he just wants the other man to know that he's prepared for it should it come to pass. It's so incredibly important to be there for others when they're at their lowest.
The two of them don't have to dwell on this long though, because He Xuan continues to be full of surprises. The sudden tug startles him enough to gasp. He doesn't move to pull away, but he does go still for a moment as his brain catches up with what's happening.]
H-He... He was the last king of Dundrasil- a once thriving kingdom that fell in a single night at the hands of the Lord of Shadows. He tried to defend his family and the kingdom, but was betrayed by who he thought was an ally and was left to die alone at the hands of monsters. Not only was the kingdom lost, but so was the queen and also his infant son.
[Ugh, it hurts to even talk about this, even if it's all better now.]
As if that wasn't bad enough, when he came back as a restless spirit, he was preyed upon by a monster known as the Gloomnivore. It fed on his misery and suffering for seventeen long years before we finally got to him. It was...absolutely horrible. But thankfully, it was finally going to come to an end.
His son, who came to be known as the Luminary, survived that night all those years ago. It was thanks to the Luminary's power of light and hope that the Gloomnivore was stopped in its tracks. After we slayed the beast, King Irwin was finally freed and able to move on to the afterlife.
