[Nie Huaisang is here on the first floor, immediately yelling for a certain little gold asshole and looking absolutely terrified while he does. He's just peering into doorways, not-so-quietly panicking...]
[ Ayabe's milling around, rubbing his back like he's old and definitely feels it now. He hears Nie Huaisang long before he sees him, but can't bring himself to run or wave or do anything until he's in earshot. ]
Calm down. He was with me last night. What happened? Why do you need him?
[ please don't tell Jin Ling that Ayabe snitched, he would never hear the end of it ]
At least you're safe. That was his main priority, you know? He wanted to make sure you stayed safe... so we staked out the hallways so we could... stop this from happening.
So that it would be easier to kill you all at once?? Please, don't do that again...
[why are the teens LIKE THIS oh my god. he will have a heart attack, he just wants to survive and for other people to not die on him and yet here they all are.]
...both of his uncles are men I consider friends. It would be a personal failing if I didn't look after him here, for their sake as well as his-- he's a future Sect Leader, after all.
[a slight shake of his head, there, a little sigh.]
But we really never knew each other well, personally, and no one thinks much of me. I'm not surprised he wouldn't, either.
He couldn't try any of them. He was blind at the time and had to direct me to draw them, but neither of us would be able to tell if they were done correctly. Could you try?
[ Ayabe is even less effective and this is useless but the important part is trying. ]

Young master Jin, where did you run off to!

Calm down. He was with me last night. What happened? Why do you need him?
no subject
[Ayabe is a Good Responsible Boy. Huaisang sighs, exhaling heavily.]
I was afraid something else kept him away last night.
no subject
He didn't tell you? I thought he would have. He was with me, Ash, and Toi.
[ Jin Ling was having a sleepover and didn't invite Nie Huaisang and now Ayabe feels a little bad about it. ]
Was everything alright in your room? That's why he didn't say anything, probably... He wanted to make sure you were safe.
no subject
[He is going to have a TALK with Jin Ling, oh my god.]
I was hoping I could bring him back before that happened.
no subject
At least you're safe. That was his main priority, you know? He wanted to make sure you stayed safe... so we staked out the hallways so we could... stop this from happening.
[ They sure failed! Three bodies, man. ]
no subject
[his face falls at that, because it means there really might be nothing they can do... but then his eyes widen a little as he realizes something.]
Wait, you were just out there in the open-- you're all lucky nothing happened to you!
no subject
All the doors unlock, right? So there's really no safe space anywhere. We made sure to keep together, so...
[ So nobody would go up to a group and slaughter all of them, right? That'd be too much work. It was really stupid. ]
no subject
[why are the teens LIKE THIS oh my god. he will have a heart attack, he just wants to survive and for other people to not die on him and yet here they all are.]
no subject
Everything's been so frustrating, staying in bed seems like the best idea, honestly...
[ Until your roomate gets murdered in the room and it smells like corpses ]
...Can I ask you something? About Jin Ling?
no subject
[they know each other, but they aren't Close.]
no subject

no subject
...You clearly care about him, though. Looking for him the way you were now. I wish he could see that.
[ Boy thinks he's all alone here and that nobody cares about him, he's a fool ]
no subject
[a slight shake of his head, there, a little sigh.]
But we really never knew each other well, personally, and no one thinks much of me. I'm not surprised he wouldn't, either.
no subject
You're in a position you didn't want to be in, right? As the sect leader.
[ Whatever that entails. Fighting, he assumes, where Nie Huaisang doesn't want to fight. ]
no subject
[should have paid more attention in cultivator school, probably.]
no subject
Hm... I don't know if it would help, but Ling was trying to draw seals to undo this "curse." Would you know how to do things like that?
no subject
[he's. he's not very effective, sorry ayabe.]
no subject
[ Ayabe is even less effective and this is useless but the important part is trying. ]
no subject
no subject
[ i'm
sorry he's just assuming Nie Huaisang doesn't have spiritual energy on the regular ]
no subject
[his might be weak, but he still has some ability!!]
no subject
[ Ayabe looks disappointed... ]
How would you deal with all of this if you couldn't "cultivate"? How would normal people handle this?
[ What are your disaster plans, sect leader? ]
no subject
[back to square one! he looks a little miserable at the thought.]
