w0, saturday 2.0

[shiftingwinds]

[shi qingxuan is sitting at the bar, but she's not drinking this time. instead, she's reading over some things in a notebook -

but she looks up when she hears footsteps.]

Miss Lenore. [she smiles.] ...that's right, you wanted to talk.

[sistocracy]

[lenore returns the smile.] Yes, I did.

[she scans the bottles behind the bar for a fancy-looking red wine, pours herself a glass, and sits next to her.]

I've never heard anyone call themselves a 'god' before. I'm quite curious as to what that entails.

[shiftingwinds]

Well, it's rather straight forward. I'm Shi Qingxuan - the Lady Windmaster. Or Lord Windmaster, depending.

[that last bit is mumbled.]

My power is over the wind.

[sistocracy]

The wind? [she takes a sip, thoughtful.]

I heard that people in far lands worshipped a variety of gods, believed to each rule over specific elements and domains. Is that the case for you, then? Are there many gods where you're from?

w1, monday - seven minutes in heaven

[shiftingwinds]

[so they're in ... uh, whatever isolated location we're using for this game, i just realized we didn't pick one. anyway.]

Here we are!

[sistocracy]

[we sure didn't but here we go!]

Well, what do you know? One minute, you're meeting a god, and the next, you're being whisked off to heaven.

[shiftingwinds]

Congratulations on your ascension!

[she giggles and claps for her.]

w2, monday

[sistocracy]

[Knock, knock! It's Lenore, at Shi Qingxuan's door. She holds up a bottle of wine.]

Oh good, you're here. I brought you a get-well-soon gift.

Or, if you're feeling well enough... perhaps we could share a drink?

[shiftingwinds]

[in this moment, lenore is genuinely one of shi qingxuan's favorite people. she beams and ushers her into her room.]

I would love that!

[for her part, she's looking perfectly fine - there's not a trace of injury anywhere on her! though that's probably not all that surprising, given people were very obvious about intending to throw her into a healing pod at the execution yesterday.]

[sistocracy]

I'm glad to see you're in one piece. I was afraid you wouldn't make it.

[She'll just go over to the mini-kitchen and find some glasses for them.]

w3, wednesday

[shiftingwinds]

[well! here they are. they've only had access to this room for a few days now, but shi qingxuan's already gotten into the habit of coming up here to look up at the stars. they're pretty!

not that the planetarium isn't also pretty, but this just feels different.

she looks back over her shoulder when she hears footsteps, then smiles.]

Lenore! Hello.

[sistocracy]

[lenore greets her with a small smile.]

Hello. Mind if I join you?

[she'll approach anyway, taking in the view through the glass.]

I always loved watching the stars back home. I never thought I'd get to see them from a whole other perspective.

[shiftingwinds]

[predictably:]

I don't mind at all.

[once she approaches, sqx returns her attention to the stars.]

...it's fascinating, seeing them like this.

w3, saturday

[sistocracy]

[In the Biome Garden, Lenore can be found standing at the edge of the path, gazing out at the flowers. There's a distant look on her face, like she isn't really looking at what's in front of her.]

[When she sees Shi Qingxuan nearby, she comes back to reality long enough to offer a small, weak smile.]

[shiftingwinds]

[aoi is off doing her own thing and having her own pcs, so it's a little easier for shi qingxuan to think more clearly. she's out for a walk, and when she spots lenore, she smiles back - although her expression is concerned, too.]

...how are you holding up?

[sistocracy]

I suppose I'll live.

Though I wish I could say the same for Law. Or Omi. Or any of the men I've gotten close to.

w4, friday

[sistocracy]

[In the City, Lenore can be found standing under the awning of a building, not far from the entrance. She looks outward into the streets with a look of disgust on her face. When Shi Qingxuan comes close enough to talk, she sighs and shakes her head.]

... Another illusion. Hard to mistake this one for anything real.

[shiftingwinds]

[she really isn't all that fond of the city, actually - but since there's going to be another body at trial tomorrow, if she acclimates herself to... all of this, maybe it won't be so difficult.

so, here she is.]

...you saw something? What was it?

[sistocracy]

Less 'saw', more 'am seeing'...

[and lenore sounds so very unimpressed at it.]

... Shrimp.

w5, monday

[sistocracy]

[At the spa, Shi Qingxuan will find Lenore looking over the written options, a hand cupping her chin. She looks up when she realizes she isn't alone, and offers a small smile.]

Oh, Shi Qingxuan. Come to see what they have to offer? To be honest, I've never seen anything like this before.

[shiftingwinds]

It's somewhat similar to some hot springs in the mountains that would offer massages, but it seems different, too.

[more modern, maybe...]

Does any of it pique your interest?

[sistocracy]

Hmm... I do wonder what these body treatments entail.

w7, thursday

[shiftingwinds]

[welcome to the beach, lenore!!

sqx is coming out here to think, but she pauses when she spots her]

...ah, hello. Welcome back.

[sistocracy]

[and lenore's just coming right up to her looking veeery interested!]

Shi Qingxuan! You little minx. I never thought you had it in you.

[shiftingwinds]

[


not quite the reaction she was expecting, honestly?]

...you mean Eleanor?
