[this room is kind of eerie, so after a cursory look around at the beginning of the week - shi qingxuan hasn't really been by much. but tonight, after being stuck in that room with dozens of others and a hangover, she could use some peace and quiet.
so! here she is. she looks a little surprised to see him.]
[ ah. gu yun wasn't expecting company, necessarily, so hearing footsteps, he turns - and looks a little surprised, to see shi qingxuan. ]
...meimei. [ the nickname feels silly, after all of that. he gives her a smile, a little softer around the edges, tired. ] Sorry. Were you looking for something?
The question then becomes who that someone was, why, and how. [ why they felt the need to manipulate them all into this. why they felt the need for tamaki to be murdered. mod characters.
... and then, of course, the question of tomorrow, too. gu yun glances back up, eyes trained on that mysterious purple fog. ] I agree with you - there's whatever tomorrow will be, and then there's what happens beyond that. This place is dangerous, to say the least, and full of mystery.
[ sucks!!!!!!! ] And right now, it feels like all that can be done is waiting.
maybe, if this were months or even years ago, she would be more content with that. but the whole reason she's here is because she's resolved to do something about a situation that she's spent most of her life trying to avoid - and here they are now, in a situation that's honestly much worse.
she's had centuries. but tamaki was only eighteen, and beauregard is in her twenties... none of this is fair.
isn't there something that can be done?
she makes a face.]
Rushing in without a plan won't help matters at all. [she knows that much.] But, not even knowing enough of what's going on to make a plan...

[she is, for once, not carting around a jug of wine.]
...is that what you were looking for, too?
no subject
Mm. More or less. [ he reaches out, and pats the spot beside him. come sit? ]
no subject
That was... a mess.
[to put it mildly.]
no subject
A disaster, more like. What do you think about it all?
no subject
It wasn't justice - it was a mockery of it.
no subject
[ god he hates that. ]
no subject
[just. ugh.]
But worse than that... someone lost their life, and now we don't even know what's going to happen to Beauregard. And...
[...and then there's molly, too. ugh. she hates this.]
Something more is bound to happen, and there doesn't seem to be anything we can do about it. Whoever did that - they've played us all.
