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!

[That precious mind is under so much pressure - and has been for years. Zishu wants to heal the fractures and undo the damage the Ghost Valley - and Zhao Jing - caused his Lao Wen. One day, his Kexing will be free. Free to laugh, to smile, to relax without worry. Then they will truly be home.]

Who says you're not? [He climbs over his beloved.]

[flirtatiousdancer]

[ Zishu does more for Kexing than he might think!

Kexing laughs in surprise and falls back, happy to be his beloved's cushion. ]

Am I?

[eternallywandering]

By existing... By loving me... Yes. You are healing me. [He straddles those enticing hips and smiles.] Without you, I would have nothing; I would be nothing.

[ He smiles softly up at his beloved and rests his hands on Zishu's hips. ]

We'd be dead without the other. I much prefer living with you.

[Keeping Kexing like this, he knows he is safe. No one can touch him.

Except for him.]

I was dead without you, love. I want to live again.
