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

[esurientabyss]

🌊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.

...Well, there are plenty of opportunities here. A lot of people are decent cooks.

[ In his opinion, at least. There aren't any five star chefs or anything, but he doesn't care much. ]

[esurientabyss]

A lot more than I originally expected.

[ The one thing that the goddess did right is put chefs here.

Eventually, He Xuan comes to a stop when they make who knows how many laps around the beach. Not out of necessity because he doesn't become exhausted by normal physical exertion.

Rather, it's due to him just feeling like it. ]

You kept up decently. Not that I suspected what you said about working out to be a lie.

[ When they stop, Gaku is honestly kind of glad, as his calves were starting to burn a bit. His breathing is a bit heavy, so he stretches out his legs as he tries to catch his breath. ]

Of course I did. I go for a run every morning so I won't pass out when I eventually go home and have to do dance practice.

[esurientabyss]

[ Meanwhile, he does neither of such things, but he does look calm. Maybe it is about seeing the fresh outdoors on a nice run. ]

Logical. You can't sit around and keep your skills without practice.

[ He will then turn away from him to look out at the sea. Next, He Xuan will decide to keep walking down the beach. He'll simply say: ]

But, seems like you would benefit from rest.

[ So, he will leave Gaku to it, having not much else to say. ]

[associative]

Yeah... I'll head back.

[ He's impressed with He Xuan's endurance, but it's not like he's human, so it makes sense.

And with that, Gaku will continue catching his breath as he gives He Xuan a short wave. ]

See you.
