Probably due to the holidays.
So I'm just going to assume that the monk has been busy trying to cultivate his energy back after his last battle and spent less time being a busy body.
more tiny weasel time? >.>
Chase has been in a funk if Wu Xin wants to bother him while he is
cacopheny: Where abouts would the funked Chase be that the young monk can poke?
how are you feeling about the truth thread
library most of the time, but he's also on the deck sometimes practicing magic or just leaning on the railing being a mopey teenager :B
omnomivore: Continuing, just slower than normal. I haven't dropped any threads, just haven't poked new ones. But to plot ahead so it wouldn't affect things, we should figure out how that ends.
We figured we're going with the family business angle for both of them?
cacopheny: Deck railings can be excellent. Wu Xin will poke. Might literally poke him in the shoulder.
And they can talk about nonsense if they don't want to talk about anything important.
Wu Xin might ask if he's feeling down and be a bit concerned, but he's not the wheedling until you speak kind of person, so he'll just bug him so he's not moping alone.
yup! That they both abandoned family duty, specifically
omnomivore: Yeah, I imagine his vision might be kinda exciting.... about him helping some strangers to blast his uncle off a cliff because his uncle/general wanted to pick him up and take him home to his family. And there's the understanding that's because Wu Xin doesn't want to go home to the family business.
(It's okay, his uncle is fine. Being thrown off a cliff is perfectly survivable for these guys. >.>)
he is a tiny weasel or a tooka cat most nights, b/c that's how he sleeps in rotating common rooms on or under the couches XD
I was going to go more metaphorical with hers, kind of a broken crown deal. But same vibe - he'll know she abandoned an important/powerful inheritance
Also, randomly, Wu Xin is probably meditating under Danny quite a bit if he's not hiding in his room. I THINK he might be noticed to be less of a presence up and about the ship lately, or after the port. Enough that those who see him on the regular might notice the change in habits.
omnomivore: I wasn't sure if we need to pick an exact flashback of a moment and the truth of it, or just.... divine knowledge type deal.
Fuzzytale: Wu Xin will see him every Wednesday, Fridays, and Sundays, with the occasional Monday if he's not a cat. LOL.
That Hilbert left behind?
But yeah, Tendi will be awkward but up front about any questions he has
Wu Xin Buddy. Where have you BEEN? Assume Malcolm cajoled him into coming over for leftovers the day after the picnic Will made them.
omnomivore: Wu Xin will be very interested in hearing about space pirates if she wants to share. Lol.
AND, is it my turn in that thread??? I don't have that tag, I thought I replied.
Our thread? I think you're up but it's possible I lost the tag I'll have to double check
magicom: Ohhhh, there was a picnic? He will gladly show up. He's trying to not be conspicuous about being absent! But cultivating kung fu energy takes time! And can potentially blow up badly iif done wrong. So he needs to be missing.
Fuzzytale: Yeah, somehow Wu Xin has taken to sitting against it to read, or meditate since he is doing more of that lately. Vibes very well with it. XD
There was a picnic and it was date night but WuXin will be enthusiastically invited for leftovers. Malcolm is never a big eater.
magicom: Wu Xin on the other hand is a growing boy, and must leave his room for food. Maybe he should take up learning how to make bread and get a breadmaker..... Lol. But yes, picnic leftovers! It might actually be the second time Malcolm seen Wu Xin since... Wu Xin woke up. Unless they hung out some in port?
Double checked and it is you on the dawn thread <3
I can't believe I lost it.
no worries! I've been avoiding poking people because this month has been.... yeah. And I wanted to make sure I was giving everyone space
omnomivore: As a general note... If I don't reply within 3 days. ALWAYS poke me unless you want to end the thread. I usually clear inbox in 1-2 days, is already giving me plenty of funk time, I might not start threads during my funk, but I don't drop old threads... so usually it's because it's lost, or I thought I replied, or response gotten eaten.
Walter was hovering during the port watching the young monk frolic for sure!!
ancillaries: Walter, are you making yourself this teenager's guardian?
He'd be very frustrated at this young monk.... because he's hard to catch like a butterfly. And would often just.... disappear. Because he was looking for places to sleep or meditate.
he would ,LOVE to hang out if WuXin wanted.
magicom: Wu Xin would be so curious about this land. If Will is busy, he might need Malcolm's help getting him off the ship every day. Since he'll be out to get the waters every day to heal things, then return to the ship. And he can't get off unless he's with a warden, right?
magicom: So he might just need Mister Malcolm's help for that. So yes, plenty of hanging out time. Although he'll eventually disappear after a while. Or if Malcolm needs to go, he'll request to stay on land. No point in getting another warden to guide him off in the early mornings when he needs to head out for the healing waters.
magicom: Malcolm, you can tell him all about Greek culture.
And point out names of any strange creatures they encounter.
you're so good to him little brother in law :3
magicom: brother... In law? Will thinks he's a brother?
Malcolm thinks Will thinks of WuXin as his little brother!
Wu Xin... Kinda likes that. He's never had a brother before and thinks that wouldn't be a bad feeling. But does Will think that?
they will have to ask Will
Will does kind of think of him like that!
I haven't been around either and there are threads I want to continue! BUT can we maybe handwave that Will is giving Wu Xin some space, since he seems to be thinking about some things? He'll still get him off the ship for port most days, but Malcolm can grab him and hang out otherwise.
(said giving of space will also include Will checking on him every few hours, but that will mostly just be locating him and maybe passing by the area Wu Xin's in to make sure he's not looking too melancholy)
see? big brother stuff!
Malcolm just wants everyone to have relationships with other people that they can feel safe in and reach for and that will make their lives better just by existing bc he has that and it's the BEST. such an improvement in quality of life.
so he's just like yep I identify relationship here.
Re: continuing threads: would you still like to continue
this one? No pressure if not!
(It's possible I'm to blame in case I forgot to ping you that I'd replied.)
narrowmybed: ohhhhh, I didn't realize you replied. I should have checked. Orz. Yes, continuing!
siderealtime: Oh Will! He would find the kid sometimes off in the middle of absolutely nowhere. Like hidden off in the depths of the greenery. Weird places and out of sight. Probably easier to access as a wolf, honestly. Though he would sense Will coming unless Will has a way of being supernatural sneaky.
magicom: Malcolm, you're absolutely the sweetest. Don't get why there's so many bad reviews of you by nearly all the inmates you've talked to. XD
I really do want to get a thread up of Malcolm being awkward and foot in mouth with Wu Xin.
Will doesn't have any supernatural methods of being sneaky.
But Will might still wander by, even in the middle of nowhere (although there as a wolf). he wouldn't engage unless Wu Xin addressed him, but he'd just like Be Around for the kid if he wants to talk or Not Talk or whatever.
Hell, I think he might start naming him. He followed even onto land!
Yeah, Wu Xin was hiding in the foliage and meditating in the greenery sometimes. And it's very obvious martial arts thing cause he'll be all warm and everything. A sense of power if Will happens to pass by.
Well it's not like it's hard, apparently, but he always tries his best to be his best self.
