    Summary

    “The rock,” Jingyi says, voice very very unstable. “Hit the rock, shixiong, fuck, no time to break the wards, hit the rock —”

    The Killing Chord strikes Jingyi’s appointed boulder. It cracks that in half, too.

    Not half a second after Lan Yuan follows Jingyi into the crevice, the yaoguai strikes the stone, talons scrabbling at the crevice, beak pecking at the entrance they’ve made themselves. A red, furious, glowing eye peers in after them, and Lan Yuan stumbles back blindly, vaguely downwards. He’s staring at the entrance, at the clear and present danger. Neither of them are looking backward.

    In hindsight, it’s the worst mistake they make all day.

     

    Wei Ying has spent years sealed under a mountain. It's just his luck that the kids who break him out of it are Lans.

    Summary

    “’Yes.’” Lan Sizhui’s fingers stilled for a moment, perhaps surprised for having gotten an answer after all. He then asked, “Why?”

    As the spirit replied in music, the Lans in the room started frowning slightly, clearly confused.

    ’Two of you have committed wrongdoing’,” the junior said, his concern evident. “What wrongdoing?”

    The notes turned even sharper, though the response was short. Immediately, Wei Wuxian could tell there was something off about it. Lan Zhan stiffened, and the kids’ eyes widened, their faces reddening. Lan Sizhui, who was blushing furiously, played the same notes again, as if making sure he’d heard right.

    Summary

    Wuxian's attention snags on a nearby player standing alone. His nametag reads 'Hanguang-jun' and he's higher level than most of the players here. His avatar is dressed completely in white, which stands out among the varied colours of the outfits around him. Seriously, who would choose a mourning ensemble like that on purpose? Wuxian smiles wistfully as he thinks of another player he knew a long time ago, in another game, who dressed his character in white too...

    Summary


    Fuck, he had totally walked into a set, hadn’t he? The beautiful, ethereal looking actor in his period piece outfit was pissed and waiting to tear him a new one, if the expression was any clue.

    One moment the man was up, and then, the next second, he had gracefully jumped from the wall in front of Wei Ying, who, only by the strength of his will, did not scream in alarm.

    He did yelp a little. But very manfully.

    “No entry after sunset,” said the man, and his voice was deeper than Wei Ying could’ve guessed. “How did you get past the wards?”
