    Summary

    “This,” says Teng Xiao, attempting to rest a hand on the child's shoulder, who sidesteps the gesture with remarkable ease, “is Yanqing. He walked into the Seat of Divine Foresight an hour ago demanding to talk to the Arbiter-General.”

    Jing Yuan waits for him to continue, and they stand in an awkward silence for a moment as he realises that is the end of the statement. “Was he unhappy with your service?” Jing Yuan inclines, holding his hands behind his back and fiddling with his fingers.

    Teng Xiao brings up a hand to pinch the bridge of his nose in a bizarre gesture of discomfort, and sighs. “No. For some reason, he believes that you are the current Arbiter-General of the Luofu.”

    Summary

    He holds out his hand, the matte metal of his palm illuminated in the overhead light. “Tell me something’,” he says, “are you really gonna give that man the satisfaction of breaking you? Or are you gonna help me ransack this place before getting the heck out of dodge?”

    The kid stares at him. For a second, Boothill thinks he spots a glimmer of something in those deep-well eyes.

    His hand’s nothing but skin and bone, but it barely shakes when it settles in Boothill’s mechanical palm. “Where do we start?” He asks.

     

    AKA Boothill finds Aventurine before Jade does and extends a helping hand.

    Summary

    Getting thrown into a parallel universe naturally involves a learning curve- anyone can guess that. But it's not the big things that cause the problems- not the magic, or the presence of actual fairies and beastmen and merfolk or even the emotionally constipated teenagers exploding into ink. It's the little things. The tiny differences that nobody thinks about until they're gone. A million tiny changes.

    A million and one minutia.

    (Or, snapshots of moments where the residents of Twisted Wonderland and their magicless prefect realize their respective worlds' differences.)
