Comments

w0, monday

[shiftingwinds]

[it's a new week, and they've got some new rooms to check out! shi qingxuan happens upon primrose in the planetarium, and is duly impressed by their surroundings. how lovely...

she greets the other woman with a smile.]

Do you like the stars, Miss Primrose?

[femmefinale]

... You know, I feel like I haven't had much opportunity to gaze up at them. They're beautiful though, aren't they?

[ Have a smile in return! ]

[shiftingwinds]

They are. Though - they certainly look different here than they did back home.

[she supposes that lends credence to the idea that they're somewhere else entirely...]

w0, friday 2.0

[shiftingwinds]

[what is UP primrose welcome to the bar



where sqx is just pouring cup after cup of wine and immediately drinking it.]

[femmefinale]

[ ... Oh, dear. ]

Are you even tasting that?

Week 0, Sunday

[femmefinale]

[ Were you looking for her, SQX? Because she's not really anywhere where people have been gathering. No common room, no bar, no kitchen, no rec room--

In the room with all the stars, though? You'll find her there, gazing upwards silently. ]

[shiftingwinds]

[ah, yep.

shi qingxuan has been visiting the less-crowded rooms for exactly this reason; to make sure that no one is stewing in their thoughts alone, if some kind of company might help. so, when she spots primrose, she calls out - ]

Miss Primrose?

Week 1, Monday (7 minutes)

[femmefinale]

[ Primrose leads the way to-- well, her room, because poor Harrow is out there being made to bond with other people and she isn't sure where Vira is, but she isn't here. ]

Will this suffice?

[shiftingwinds]

[Harrow and Vira have been sexiled, or whatever the equivalent portmanteau is for kisses. Anyway.]

I think this should be fine! ...ah, I just realized, I don't think we have anything to mark how much time we're spending in here...

[her canon marks the passage of time with how long it takes to burn incense, oops]

w1, sunday

[shiftingwinds]

[three hours and however long it takes for ming yi to leave her unattended so she can have solo pcs later, primrose will find shi qingxuan in the hallway, having just left the medbay.

she looks uninjured! she's moving a little slowly, but aside from her yaoihand, she looks much better than she did before the execution.

when she spots prim, she smiles and raises her normal-sized hand in a wave.]

[femmefinale]

[ Hey, that yaoi hand saved her life.

And Primrose, who may or may not have been lingering around the medbay, blinks to see her out and about before she hurries over. ]

I can only assume if you're alone that you can safely move about now.

w3, monday

[shiftingwinds]

[wherever primrose happens to be, shi qingxuan will eventually come across her! she's exploring the new rooms and checking up on the old ones to make sure nothing's changed, so she'll be literally anywhere eventually.]

Good morning, Primrose!

[femmefinale]

Ah, good morning.

[ She's honestly just checking out the dogs. ]

You were also exploring?

[shiftingwinds]

[shi qingxuan is looking for prim!! she finally catches her at the bar.

she looks worried.]

Primrose...?

[femmefinale]

[ Primrose is currently staring down at her drink-- and glances over at Shi Qingxuan, mustering a thin smile. ]

Hello. Were you looking for me?

Week 5, Thursday

[femmefinale]

[ She's gonna go find Shi Qingxuan like-- well, honestly, not long after that group staggers back. And hopefully she's in the medbay where she belongs??? ]

[shiftingwinds]

[she is


getting yeeted into a pod immediately while unconscious, but we're just going to bend time and space and say prim catches her just as she's coming out for the first time. which is like, three hours, unfortunately, but. it's also before curfew so it's probably fine? anyway.]

Primrose...?

[she is indeed in the medbay at least, although she's still missing a leg]

w6, monday

[shiftingwinds]

[hellooooo prim it's time to drink our feelings away!

which is to say - shi qingxuan is at the bar, nursing a cup of rice wine. there's an underlying note of exhaustion to the emotions she's giving off, but there's also confusion and a little irritation, too. hm.

but upon spotting prim, there's a definite uptick in her mood - something much more positive that matches her smile when she spots her and waves her over.]

Oh, hello! What brings you here?

[femmefinale]

Oh, I thought drinking sounded like a rather wonderful idea.

[ There's a weariness to the own positivity that sparks when she's spoken to, a constant kind of wariness as well.

But she does walk over and lean against the bar. ]

Week 6, Friday

[femmefinale]

[ She's not really looking for anyone. But she comes across Shi Qingxuan and just... her smile of greeting falters, a bit. ]

To think, the time where we tried to weave baskets underwater seems so long ago now.

[shiftingwinds]

[ah.

her smile falters a little, too; she looks down.]

...it does. I never imagined it would turn out like this.

w6, saturday

[shiftingwinds]

[that was



that was a lot. she's going to find primrose after All Of That, and when she does find her at the (spins wheel. are you kidding me rng) bar, she sort of pauses, like she's not sure if her approach will be welcome or not.]

...Primrose?

I laughed at that rng

[femmefinale]

[ She's just kind of hunched there, staring at absolutely nothing. And when Shi Qingxuan calls out to her, she doesn't turn around, voice soft. ]

Yes?

Week 7, Wednesday

[femmefinale]

[ Hey, SQX. Have some bar company, although at least Primrose doesn't look like she wants to kill a man today. Just tired. ]

I'd like to believe we're close to the end.

[shiftingwinds]

[just. drinking.



it's fine, her alcohol tolerance isn't nerfed. she's actually a little jealous of that, because she keeps thinking in circles, which isn't helpful; maybe if she'd stop overthinking things she could actually have something to contribute. maybe it would be easier to think less if she could get tipsy off of just a few drinks.]

I really, truly hope so.
