[jiuqing is hanging out in the mansion! now that she's back and settled, she's unpacking her package from the q&a and giving everything a proper look over.
[ it's monday! the clowns are no long lose, and they have heat and magical colour powers! everything is very exciting, maybe!
but it's monday, and crow's trying to get to grips with all the new things presented to them. his phone is safely by his side, his bag of goodies is in front of him and he's staring very hard at his hands.
jiuqing approaches, but she keeps quiet so as to not startle him. the way he's looking at his hands makes her wonder if he's trying to use a color power on them or something.]
[ well, crow certainly seems to have had his attention drawn by something. glancing over will reveal he's pacing around the hot tub with a critical look. ]
What do you think? Acceptable hot spring substitute for the moment, or not?
[well, okay. to her, it feels like the prism is urging her to just show him - so she reaches out to press a hand to the side of the bubble, infusing it with a soft metallic light.
they wait for a doctor to do his work, and when the woman he's treating sits up, she immediately begs jiuqing's mother to let her die. she explains pitifully, and her daughter throws her arms around her. a man - jiuqing's father - offers to marry her to make up for having damaged her reputation by rescuing her from falling into a pond.
jiuqing, of course, thinks this is absolutely ridiculous - and she says so. but her mother, knowing what this means, agrees to the plan, and as qian and waner rejoice, jiuqing follows her mother outside. she's heartbroken, having finally realized that her husband and her sister had been having an affair all along.
the next day, her father calls a family meeting, which she crashes, disrespectfully. also disrespectfully, she tells him she absolutely does not agree to him taking her aunt as his second wife.
jiuqing may not have won this war just yet, but she has won this battle - and if she has her way, she'll keep on winning. she does not intend to let yao qian have her way. not now, not ever.]
anyway, jiuqing does know how to treat hypothermia even if i, britt, do not, so she's going to get right to work with that, but she's also looking him over for other injuries so she can get them treated ASAP? you're not allowed to die you dumb bird. what are we looking at here. what does she need to do.]
she is also very heavily bandaged in a variety of places - some bandages peek out from under her clothing, she's got a bandage wrapped around her head, and where there aren't bandages, there are mottled bruises. she's the mummy this week!]
...I used the pod for a few hours, so I'm stable. I just can't move around too much tomorrow.
[sometimes when you arrive you are covered in black shit that covers the extent of your injuries haha.]
weekend zero, sunday
when she hears footsteps, she looks up.]
Ah, hello there.

Fascinating... [she dips a hand in to test the water's temperature] It's smaller than I would have expected, but it feels nice.

Alright, if I ask do I get the deets?
1/2
That curious, are you?
[a bubble conveniently closes around them at exactly that moment.]
2/2 - cw: suicide mention
they wait for a doctor to do his work, and when the woman he's treating sits up, she immediately begs jiuqing's mother to let her die. she explains pitifully, and her daughter throws her arms around her. a man - jiuqing's father - offers to marry her to make up for having damaged her reputation by rescuing her from falling into a pond.
jiuqing, of course, thinks this is absolutely ridiculous - and she says so. but her mother, knowing what this means, agrees to the plan, and as qian and waner rejoice, jiuqing follows her mother outside. she's heartbroken, having finally realized that her husband and her sister had been having an affair all along.
the next day, her father calls a family meeting, which she crashes, disrespectfully. also disrespectfully, she tells him she absolutely does not agree to him taking her aunt as his second wife.
but then her tone changes. it's for his own good, she explains - albeit with veiled threats, but he doesn't seem to see it that way; instead, he considers what she says, and she presses her advantage. smiling, she continues on - and her mother agrees to take her suggestion.
they all agree to the arrangement - for now.
jiuqing may not have won this war just yet, but she has won this battle - and if she has her way, she'll keep on winning. she does not intend to let yao qian have her way. not now, not ever.]
