[Someone needs to apologize to the isle. There is now a gremlin in your midst, drying his abundant hair by twisting it over one shoulder. He has a quick smile for anyone watching, charming and infinitely mischievous.]

When you arrive somewhere new, it's polite to introduce yourself. Since I'm not usually polite, this isn't an easy task for me. Would you show me the way, kind strangers?

[A white and fluffy creature climbs onto Xue Yang's lap and gives him an obvious frown.]

Don't look so sour! It makes you less cute. How will we earn our cookies if you walk around like that?

[But the female raccoon dog growls, not giving in. Behave. Make introductions!]

It's like that, is it? [Rolling his eyes, he shrugs a shoulder.] I'm Xue Yang and this is Ying. Hello~!

[When she speaks, there was a lack of warmth. Not because of him but because she wants to close herself off to forming relationships with anyone. But yet, she really couldn't ignore the man. And also he did say he was a friend...]

Yes, that is usually the case when you are somewhere new. Especially at a place like this where people come from so many different worlds.

[And okay, she will force a chuckle.]

What am I gonna do with you? Poor Ying has her paws full.

[Don't be distant, Leanne. That will just encourage him to chase you and invade your space! For your own good, of course. He is a mighty cultivator.]

So you'll empathize with her, but not me? You sound so cold! Did I do something to upset the pretty bird?

[She is being distant to keep you here! Those who seem to befriend her or get close seem to leave this world as soon as the bond is made!]

Only a little bit more with her than you. You are trying and you should feel proud of yourself.

[She blinks at his words and shakes her head, trying now to avoid eye contact.]

I do? My apologies. No, you haven't upsetted me.

[Those are just coincidences! Don't be so dramatic or Ying will screech at you, Leanne.]

I'll believe you if you give me more treats~? [Ying snorts and stomps off to her stash again.]

What's wrong? I can't say I know you, but you don't seem like yourself. Is it because so many of your friends left?

[She isn't being dramatic! Even if it is coincidence.]

I believe I can find some for you. [Seriously, what is she going to do with him?]

Nothing... Nothing is wrong. They are in a better place now and I don't have any regrets.

[But there were still pain there.]

[The screeching will happen in 3...2...]

You promise? [Don't betray him now. He isn't nice when he is disappointed.]

See... I don't buy that. Of course you feel something. You didn't choose for them to go.

[She won't be prepared for the screeching.]

I promise. I will even go into the city if I can't find any.

It is the truth. [And here, she will even smile to show that it was the truth.]

[It's...quite an experience.]

I'll go with you. A tiny bird in the city isn't safe.

[Hmmm. He narrows his eyes, but decides to let it go.]

I don't know about your past. Maybe you're strong.

[Oh dear... Please don't get mad at her Ying to start screeching.]

Ah, you don't have to. Especially since I am the one who made the promise.

[That look... This wasn't good.]

I have to be...

[Ying has a lovely screech. It's just startling!]

What if I want to?

[He snorts and leans his head back.]

We don't have any other choice, do we.

[She has the screech of angels!]

Then I suppose I cannot stop you.

[A small shake of her head.]

No, we do not. But if I may be bold to say, you are still quite strong.

I keep myself in shape. [For physical brawls mostly. Occasionally he gets lucky and has a proper sword fight.]

Where should I meet you?

[A small giggle leaves her.] In other ways too. Though it sounds like Ying has her hands full.

I am currently by a stream but I can meet you at the edge of the forest, Xue Yang.

[Have a very grumpy-looking silver haired teen show up on your post. He probably sounds just about as peppy as he looks, which is... not at all.]

Where are you from?

[What a downer! Also...huh. A name for...his world? His homeland? Those don't exactly exist yet.]

The Unclean Realm? At least that's where I was being kept.

[That's just how he presents. He's really a softy, but yeah, have a grumpy teenager!

He gives a little stifled huff of a laugh.]

Really? Have you been to any other worlds aside from this one?

No. Have you? [Talk about an interesting topic! Xue Yang is focused, tugging on a wet strand of black hair.]

I didn't know others existed.

Edited 2021-09-13 14:01 (UTC)

Yes. Two other worlds.

They weren't great. Most of the time... they're not great.

[He's staring for a moment. And then, unrelated to their topic of conversation:]

I think there are blow-dryers in the bathrooms at the inn. That might work faster to take care of your hair.

So I lucked out? That's a first. [He snickers and kicks at a rock, frowning at something in the distance. This new land is...strange.]

Blow...dryers? What's that? I'm not sure I want someone blowing on me.

You really did. There are worlds out there that are nothing but darkness, worlds you have to touch people in order to survive, worlds you have to have sex in order to revive a dead world, and then some that are just... radioactive planets with abandoned, protected places that feel like ghost towns.

[He could talk about this all day, really.]

No, you'd essentially be holding a device that moves warm air at you. You point it at your hair, and it dries faster that way. No one else needs to be involved.

Wait, wait... Did you say you have to have sex to revive a dead world? I really might've missed out! [Ha ha, no. He does not belong in such a place. Think of the damage he would do.]

How hot does it get? I like my face - and my hair for that matter. Should I test it on my familiar first?

I’ve been on a world like that. It was awful. I promise whatever you’re thinking, it wasn’t anything close.

[It was definitely more traumatic for the teen than just a world to get his dick wet.]

No. Just turn it on and hold it far away at first. It can get very hot if you make it so, but it won’t be hot enough to burn if you hold it at a safe distance.

What kind of familiar do you have?

If they took the fun out of it, that would be a drag.

[Other incarnations of this man experienced Duplicity and Noctium, so. Those Yangs get it.]

How useful. [No, he won't take it apart. Okay, he might.]

She's a háo or...a raccoon dog? That's what someone called her on the shore.

Well... that kind of depends on your idea of fun.

[Because it could be fun, but it could also be terrible. It really just depended on who you met up with, or who was comfortable engaging in such things... and what kind of laws they might want to break or be comfortable bending.]

I'm not going to tell you to not point the blow dryer at your familiar.

Fun is a broad idea. [Breaking laws is definitely fun. For him anyway. They have never served him, so why should he abide by them? Normal society can deal with him or lock him up.]

You don't like raccoon dogs?
