happy anniversary - and a meme!

[groundrules]

Hi everyone! eastbound stirred from undeath as roughly the world's tiniest game a year ago, and it's all down to everyone's enthusiasm, sleuthing and morbid sense of humour that it's still alive, sometimes braying and kicking.

To celebrate...

FORTUNE FAVOURS THE DEAD


A bevy of aggressive, loud and gregarious fortune tellers has inundated Ke-Waihu, seeking to exercise their... gifts for coin before departing by sea. To spread the word, they hand out a few free, unsolicited fortunes to hapless bystanders:

i. List your character(s), one per comment, and one or more funny, outlandish or depressing fortunes they've been told ( 'You will marry a six-headed frog by midnight,' 'A stubborn infant will bring your end with a toothpick'... )

ii. Comment around to help with, sympathise, or... point and laugh at everyone else's (mis)fortune. Spam vigorously.

iii. Up to you & your thread partner, if you want to make these conversations game canon and ice break some CR!

I haven't kept anything from you.

[flirtatiousdancer]

A-Xu~

[eternallywandering]

You listened to all of it. You were so good to me.

[flirtatiousdancer]

Always.

[eternallywandering]

And I will be good to you. Always.

[flirtatiousdancer]

Just stay with me. Always. That's enough.

[eternallywandering]

You found me. I'm not going to let you go.

[flirtatiousdancer]

You can try and shake me off. I'll just keep coming back.

[eternallywandering]

You've proven that, my Lao Wen.

[flirtatiousdancer]

I'll keep on proving it.

[eternallywandering]

Don't follow behind me. Walk beside me.

[flirtatiousdancer]

I much prefer walking with you.

[eternallywandering]

I prefer your company.

[flirtatiousdancer]

You have it.

[eternallywandering]

Why aren't you sitting in my lap?

[Action]

[flirtatiousdancer]

[ He answers this with a laugh as he approaches and promptly plops down in his soulmate's lap with a grin. ]

Better, my A-Xu?

[Action]

[eternallywandering]

[Much better. Much, MUCH better. Zishu sighs happily and wraps himself around Kexing, nuzzling and kissing at random.]

Perfect.

[flirtatiousdancer]

[ A happy sigh escapes under the flurry of kisses and nuzzles and he snuggles in. ]

...Almost perfect.

[eternallywandering]

What's missing? [He whispers into Kexing's ear.] Tell me.

[flirtatiousdancer]

[ He strokes gentle fingers over his love's chest, teasing at those robes as he leans against his beloved. ]

Your complete health and strength.

[eternallywandering]

[Zishu is surprised into a soft smile and he cradles Kexing against him. His lips find his lover's forehead and he lingers there.]

You are too good for me.

[flirtatiousdancer]

[ His eyes flutter closed as he enjoys the sweetness and sighs softly. This is what he loves best. ]

I love my A-Xu.

[eternallywandering]

[He loves it too. Kexing seems to melt against him and he has no idea where he ends and his beloved begins.]

I love you too. [Zishu flushes and murmurs:] I hope you get your wish.

[flirtatiousdancer]

[ He likes melting against his soulmate~ And knowing he's safe and loved. He smiles and lifts his head to nuzzle their noses together. ]

I will. You're working hard to heal now.

[eternallywandering]

[Zishu leans back to make himself a more comfortable place to relax, his hands moving over Kexing's back. He gives Kexing a small, adoring smile and sneaks a kiss to his lips.]

My soul has healed.
