[ Here he is, still painting. Isn't he tired yet??? No. He's waiting for everyone to get the chaos out of their system like the very patient shizun he is so he can sleep. Do you know how loud giggles echo???

Anyway, this works great for meditation when you've been vibing really hard. How bout a goldfish? ]

[metacognition]

[ my partner in danmei crime...

fei du is standing behind shen qingqiu just. watching him paint a goldfish. there he goes. ]

You're awfully good at this. [ hi ]

w0, saturday

[metacognition]

[ whew what a trial

after all of that, fei du can be found innnn the ikea. he's sitting in a chair tucked away a bit, a green jacket slung around his shoulders, and most importantly, there's very soft music playing from his phone that's sitting on his lap.

his eyes are closed, but, at least it doesn't look like he's asleep or anything! ]

[peakfan]

[ help me not my elementary graduation song.

anyway, sqq sees him in passing in the middle of his wandering, hums thoughtfully, and wanders off for a bit. rude? it's fine. blame it on the scum nature.

so he would say except he comes back with deliberately loud steps and ah... "borrowed" ikea mugs. which is nothing unusual but there's? jasmine tea? coming fron the cups? hello where did that come from? fei du's cup gets set somewhere accessible to him before sqq sits back against a convenient wall, not saying a word. time 2 Relax aaaah quiet ]

w1, post invest fri

[peakfan]

[ MAMA DIDN'T RAISE NO COWARD so i guess someones phone is buzzing with a text ]

I believe this is relevant to your interests

[ attached is a six second video of `don't let fei du know` `oh of course not`

hehe ]

[metacognition]

[ this is hysterical im so glad ]

What an extremely large raccoon.

w1, sat

[metacognition]

[ im taking you seriously i hope sqq is in the dirt somewhere

anyway ]

Teacher Shen. [ comes a slightly amused voice from above... ] Should I be bringing you some tea, this time...?

[peakfan]

[ help me he is now. pretend he's staring at the sky like the stars will give him all the missing answers ]

Perhaps something much stronger will do the trick.

[ hE'S TIRED ]

w2, mon

[peakfan]

[ well, this sure is a location. sqq seems to be out wandering around looking even more out of place than he usually does. talk about some Pleasentville nonsense, huh? he doesn't seem to have a particular destination in mind but that sure is a head tilt in fei du's general direction. ]

This seems different.

[metacognition]

[ this sure is a location

fei du's here. he's vibing. he... looks at shen qingqiu... and there's this muffled feeling of amusement. ]

...Teacher Shen, while your look is inherently beautiful, have you considered changing it up, in a place like this....?

w2, sunday

[metacognition]

[ well


right after, fei du is outside just throwing up the entire contents of his stomach in the bushes not far from the house

that's the only concept of a starter i have ]

[peakfan]

[ I'm so sorry Fei Du but the rancid vibes only skyrockets when sqq gets outside and unfortunately for him, he doesn't do that good of a job checking if everyone ran away already. and with great enthusiam and pure anger, once again goes ]

FUCK.

w2, tuesday

[peakfan]

[ help the idea of him in hooters is killing me and fei du is clearly the perfect person to be visiting the establishment with? made only funnier because he expected hooters to be... y'know. hooters. but no, there's shit incrusted with gold in his caviar or something like that. talk about some extravagant nonsense in the middle of everything.

at least he looks good today ]

[metacognition]

[ here is fei du sitting at the table... and when he sees shen qingqiu, he props his chin in both of his hands, and says: ] Teacher Shen, if I was still a single man, I'd be eating you for dinner.

[ don't

just say things like that. ] Joining me for a meal?

w3 thursday >:(!!!

[metacognition]

[ (binghe voice) SHIZUUUUUUNNNN

once things have settled down a bit, fei du is coming to check on shen qingqiu wherever he's settled. he's got something under his arm, and he makes his way over! he better be resting. ]

Teacher Shen...?

[peakfan]

[ binghe's sqq senses tingle and xin mo cuts right through time and space (no)

otherwise, sqq is just vibing and by now the scraps of his over robes have been removed to show off his inside battle wounds. the bullet holes in his chest have scabbed over, the severe fire damage up his arm has healed to a nice pink color, and the weird bite marks all over his legs are gone entirely. wow! he's basically good as new ]

Fei Du. [ hey boy hey. he attempts a smile, but that sure looks like a grimace ] How are the others...?

w3, friday.

[metacognition]

[ the vibes are rancid today!! you don't need emotionshare to know that!!!

fei du's sitting by the lake, after all of that. legs crossed, hands folded in his lap, staring off into the water. there's a notebook in his lap, and his phone is very, very softly playing the usual - you raise me up, so i can stand on mountains.

when he realizes shen qingqiu is there, he doesn't look at him. ]

Did you investigate today?

[peakfan]

[ wow, mood! he already threw his coffee across the street, it's a good thing there aren't any walls nearby for him to thunk angrily. ]

I did.

[ he sounds so mournful today. though it may be because once again his investigation led to nothing useful. maybe he really is bad at detective work....?

otherwise, he stands guard, staring out into the lake. ]

There is something quite cruel knowing that there is nothing you can do to protect those around you.

w3, sunday

[metacognition]

[ an hour or two after execution because respect for teacher shen's feelings and space but also. ]

Teacher Shen. Come take a walk with me?

[peakfan]

[ it's a slow reply because, quite honestly he probably does have his arms full and we all know the struggle of typing when being used as a pillow ]

A few minutes will be required.
But this teacher will join you shortly.

w4, monday

[peakfan]

[ sqq looks like he's seen some things today. unfortunately for him, just meeting fei du's eyes from wherever they are in the clouds causes another pig to run him over

rip in shit shizun

what if he just lays here and lets the ground reclaim him ]

[metacognition]

[ oh.

... well.

the double illusion of shen qingqiu and...shen qingqiu is a lot. the child abuse, the cruelty, is something he's not unfamiliar with in his line of work, but shen qingqiu's gentle treatment of the young boy with the mass of black hair is such a stark difference that it's startling.

when the memory ends he blinks, to clear it, and turns his attention to shen qingqiu. patient, a little wry:]

... A psychologist might say that sort of dream is a sign, if it wasn't a memory.

[ but it sure was obviously a memory. ]

w...5... monday

[metacognition]

[ jesus christ

anyway man what a fucked up adventure we went on. it takes fei du a bit to come and see shen qingqiu, mostly because he's recovering from having to get stabbed to heal, but eventually, he comes to find him! wherever he's hanging out! he's got a couple of to go coffee cups in his hands, and he brings one over and sets it down in front of sqq. ]

Here. Tea.

[peakfan]

[ sometimes you go on a who knows how many thousands of years side quest and you're Tired with capital bold blinking text.

Which means, sqq, still bundled in his useless uncle outfit of yesterday grunts and sucks the cup into the void of exhaustion. mm tea. ]

Thanks.

[ this does not absoluve you of yesterday ]

w6, friday.

[metacognition]

[ lmao well

do you know what live electricity sounds like, shen qingqiu? it's this bright, buzzy noise, loud and sharp and brilliant. angry. violent. it's coming from a room in the hotel.

it's followed by a stream of thoughts that are just fucking rancid, a mix of violence and static and words that sound like they're layered over each other, so messy that it's hard to pick out any words. what does stick out though, is this.

No. No, no no no no no no - no come on no work god damn it no no no no no no no ]

[peakfan]

[ ooooooh this is such a bad time to be mind linked.

sqq was watching invest from... well. wherever the heck he is, but the static distraction sure pulls his attention away once he knows both his teammates are alright. it's bad enough he has a pretty strong inkling of the exact cause of said noise so like, off he goes directly to the source and rank vibes.

tap, tap fei du. open up it's the cultivation popo. ]

w6 sunday

[metacognition]

[ appears belatedly in here

anyway life is so much better right now? man. fei du seems to be in a wildly better mood than he was yesterday. he's coming out of a hotel room, wearing a familiar, army green jacket on his shoulders, hair wet and pulled into a low ponytail. when he spots shen qingqiu, he gives him a bit of a smile. ]

Shen Qingqiu. [ and he just seems to be like

relaxed. zen. hey. ]

[peakfan]

[ oh someone absolutely had a good time recently. he can't even be mad about it bc wowee those were stank vibes ]

Feeling better?

w7, tues

[peakfan]

[ you know when sometimes you think you're safe from chaos and then shit happens to make you everything that brought you to this moment?

it's just a nice day in the graveyard, sqq is having a pretty good day and WHAM BAM, he's taken out by a pig.

what if he just... lays here for a bit ]

[metacognition]

[ hours before shen qingqiu has a crisis in public there's a terrible, awful memshare, instead.

a few weeks ago, fei du saw the memory of shen qingqiu with this very same child, the way he knelt down and wrapped around him to try and save him, so to see this memory juxtaposed right after it is a strange context, and the first thing he says is: ]

...You stabbed him on accident?

[ it doesn't sound judgemental or anything, but. wow ]

w7, weds 2 electric boogaloo

[peakfan]

[ sometime after they return and they're just out here having a chill time, sqq asks the most important question: ]

Do you think we'll still be able to play Moon Track when we return home?

[metacognition]

[

a pause ]

Well, unlike you, I have wifi. So...
