@legendwroteenwrote said-❛  no matter how hard i try, i can't forget about love.  ❜ (from Liu Qianqiao)

It was festival it was supposed to be something fun loving, and light. Her mood seemed to reflect his own. Albeit for different reasons.

She could not forget about love, and he wondered often what it was truly about. He moved slowly his actions not threatening as he took seat and produced a pair of earthenware pots of brown, golden and red presenting her with one of them and a sake cup.

"As much as I would like to say I understand." he said to her as he caught his flowing sleeve in hand and poured the fine lotus liquor into his cup. "I can't, I have long wondered at love, I have seen it reflected around me. I have seen those who would die for one another, and yet" he breathed softly bringing the small delicate cup to his lips the look on his face thoughtful. "I confess to not understanding it." A sip followed politely as he inquired "Tell me about it, about your love ?" he asked "Was it the kind to kindle a heart to light a fire within the soul lanterns or was it an inferno to burn all things that touched it, as I do not understand it well on a personal level, I have watched those that love around me weather the storm of passion and desire". He watched the lights of the lanterns reflect off the liquid in the cup. "Of course there is always, the betrayal of one who claims to love you , I could not hold a grudge but I felt anger...I think you of all people understand that part...but can you tell me what it is to feel love back for someone ?"

i kid you not, the very first match-up was xie lian & hua cheng. i’m not going to count that, because WE ALREADY KNOW. so, restarting:

1. wen kexing & zhou fei — i mean?? i haven’t seen all of legend of fei yet so idk WHAT this would look like, but we know i love zhou fei very much. does that mean she deserves better than to be subjected to the menace that is wkx? probably. could we make it work? I’m Sure We Could

2. han ying & zhou zishu — my beloveds. not very creative on the randomizer’s part, but Absolutely we should do more with them

3. luo fumeng & wuzhu — obsessed with how out of left field this is. handshake on not remembering most of their pasts, and on helping to raise a boy who’s both a political genius and an absolute disaster?

4. wu xi & hua cheng — oh i am THINKING EMOJI about wu xi being bai wuchang, an envoy of the yellow springs, and hua cheng being a ghost who never reached the yellow springs, and also of wu xi-as-bai wuchang helping jby reincarnate for the purpose of reuniting with his soulmate and what hua cheng’s feelings on that might be. how this could translate into rp in ANY way i’m not sure but it is interesting, and i wonder if hua cheng would be able to tell that wu xi is not, like, a regular human person. on a more mundane note, hua cheng would almost certainly know wu xi by reputation, and i know his nigh-unlimited supplies of spiritual energy are basically a panacea, but if he ever needs an accomplished healer...

5. jiang cheng & liu qianqiao — again i don’t?? even know what this would look like??? jiang cheng Does love elegant but ruthless women, so there’s that, and i am forever in a campaign to give jc Literally Any Friends

     he hadn’t even tried, tonight. had known without touching his bed that sleep would be long in coming and unpleasant when it did. he needs to sleep, he knows; he does, whenever he can. he’s not foolish enough to go without it. but you pick your battles, and he would rather pretend at control by not trying at all than try when he knows he will fail. lying awake makes him feel crazy, sometimes — crazier than usual — like he wants to claw his way out of his own skin. like he wants to expel himself.

     so he’s outside instead, walking. a ghost in the night, a lonely figure. ghost valley is far from silent at night — it’s just as easy to kill in the darkness as it is in the day, and there is always killing. but ghosts melt away when they see him coming. scatter like mice. nobody likes to meet the master of ghosts in a dark alley. who knows what he’ll do to them?

     he doesn’t plan to pass the department of the unfaithful. his feet know the way, he supposes — take him that direction when he doesn’t have another destination in mind. it was never his home, but it was the closest thing to a safe place that existed in the valley. the body remembers.

     and it turns out he is not the only notorious ghost lurking in the night. the devils may fear him, but they don’t run from him the way lesser ghosts might. he pauses when he hears her voice, puts on a cold smile. he understands liu qianqiao, a little — but they aren’t friends. he has no friends in the valley. so, the mask.

     “beauty ghost,” he says, pleasant, edged. obligingly walks closer to where she stands, hands clasped behind his back. “they say evil never sleeps. i have a reputation to maintain.” he lets his eyes flicker conspicuously over the empty porch. “not glued to your master’s side tonight?”
