[Video; CW: Amputation, Gore.]

[dazzlingdream]

[He is a grim sight - though he has always been slight and small compared to his fellow cultivators, Meng Yao is usually well-groomed and in one piece. His robes, however, are covered in blood and there is a stump where his arm used to be. Additionally his lips are tinged with blood, hinting that, recently, he had a wound elsewhere too. What an abysmal day.]

I do not know who I am addressing. [That aggravates him further. For a man who had his fingers in so many pies, not knowing what comes next or where he has traveled nags at him. He inclines his head nonetheless, looking put out.] I am...

Meng Yao. [The Jin sect will relinquish any ties to him. There can be no doubt about that.] As you can see, I require medical attention.

[Yet his life isn't in danger and that is the most shocking part of it all.]

I will heal; I know this wound looks grave, but I am not a normal man. [Wouldn't his life be easier if he was?] Please give me directions to the nearest healer.

Comments

video; (I'm sorry)

[usaf]

What the fuck, why are you online? Call 911!

video; (no that is an entirely normal response)

[dazzlingdream]

I'm afraid I don't follow?

[usaf]

Okay, the little device you're using to talk to me? I need you to open up the phone app on it and dial 9-1-1. That will call emergency dispatch who can send an ambulance to come get you and bring you to a hospital.

[dazzlingdream]

I...see. A hospital is a place of healing? [He presumes so and thus he turns his attention to finding the "phone app". Whatever that means.]

What does the phone app look like?

[usaf]

[ Oh fuck he's from the fucking dark ages... And she thought she had a hard time adjusting, being from 1995. ]

On my phone's home screen, it's a green button with a picture of a receiver on it. That's like... A sort of curved diagonal line with the ends thicker than the middle?

[pocketfulof]

I'm a healer. Where are you?

Gods above...

Video;

[dazzlingdream]

De...Chima. In house number three. The door is open.

Video;

[pocketfulof]

Coming from Nonah, give me a minute.

Question: Your arm. You uh...still have it? [He's sewn those on before, he's tempted to try it here.]

Video;

[dazzlingdream]

...no. I left it behind. [The best they can do is sew the open wound closed.]

NOT HERE 1/2...?

[yilingdaddy]

[ Wei Wuxian is fumbling his way through learning this new tech himself, but like Meng Yao, he is not a stupid man.

But this.

Seeing someone familiar in such poor condition.

Does not make him happy. So it takes him a minute or five to get himself back under control, in which case he assumes (HOPES) other people have already leaped in to help. ]

2/2 [Video] because what is private setting?

[yilingdaddy]

Meng Yao?

Have you been helped already?

[ He's only wary because he is distinctly aware of his reputation being rather tarnished. How Yao will respond to him is a current unknown, though he'd like to think they hadn't had any particularly bad interactions? That he can remember? ]

[Video] what is going on. he's scared.

[dazzlingdream]

[He freezes, staring at Wei Wuxian with an unreadable expression. Why is he extending him any kindness? Meng Yao immediately considers all of the ways this could be a trap, but he is somewhat calmed by the fact that he knows the other man has very little subtlety.

Somehow, some way, he will get to the bottom of this.]

You needn't worry about me, Wuxian. [His tone is polite, though a bit tight.] We are injured frequently, are we not?

[Video] poor evil bb

[yilingdaddy]

[ Wuxian pouts a little at the strange look. ]

Aiyaa...Not you too. Lan Zhan already looks at me weird.

[ He straightens from his slump with the pout though, eventually nodding. ]

We're not usually missing an arm though.

video

[h2no]

Fuckin' gross, bro. You still need help? I got some healin' in me.

[can't bring the arm back, but hey! not dying is always a plus.]

video

[dazzlingdream]

A healer is attending to me and then I will go to the...hospital.

[The word is obviously foreign to him.]

I had no choice in losing it.

Re: video

[h2no]

Ah. Glad t'hear it, bro. Don't go dyin' on us!

[he notices how the word seems strange to the poor guy, but-- he doesn't know what to make of it. maybe they exist under another name for him, back home (haha)]

You gettin' it back?

[that's... a genuine question.]

video

[dazzlingdream]

That is a complicated request. [Since he is sure he died before arriving by way of the Porter. The stab wound in his chest is, at least, healed.]

How would I get it back?

video; un: zewujun

[ze_uwu_jun]

[ It may be a little later because Xichen isn't exactly best with the device...

... at all...

But it does come. ]

Meng Yao? Has it been treated more now?

video;

[dazzlingdream]

[If you were a crafty evil genius the technology might come to you quicker, Xichen.

Actually the trade off for those skills isn't something anyone would want. Just ask Meng Yao.

He gazes at Xichen's image, brushing his fingertips over the screen.]

By a healer...and the...hospital. They say I might acquire a prosthetic.

video;

[ze_uwu_jun]

[ You could... teach him? Knock off a few points from that evil? ]

That would make things easier for you, wouldn't it?

[ People who never enjoy seeing others in pain: Lan Xichen on the list. ]

video;

[dazzlingdream]

I would be less...awkward. [He feels strangely off-center, though he is certain, at times, that his arm is still there.]

Did you escape unharmed?

Text. Later than the rest.

[secondjade]

Meng Yao.

Wei Wuxian, Jin Ling: Keep your distance.

Only warning.

[Video]

[dazzlingdream]

[Typing is difficult thanks to you, Lan Wangji.]

I have no reason to harm them here.

text.

[secondjade]

[ Because at the moment he's happy to be difficult. ]

Claim sufficient reason for harm before?

Unlikely.

Only warning.

Do not trespass.

[Video]

[dazzlingdream]

[He can give him a thousand reasons and none of them are sufficient.]

I know you are a threat to me, willing to do what you must to protect those you call kin.

There is nothing I can do but heal for some time.
