chroma | catchall for vax'ildan
i WILL make a visualosity just not right now
[hello, vax! assuming he, at some point, wanders through the central node, he'll find jiuqing - who has a mark on one cheek that looks like it will eventually be turning into a bruise (i feel he would know what that looks like given his everything), sitting on a bench and contemplating one of her acupuncture needles.]
Hmm...
[this is where i'd normally have her look up after hearing footsteps but he is stealthy so for all i know she wouldn't hear them i will leave that up to you]

[ vax is in fact very, very stealthy! poor jiuqing
he is however not trying to sneak up on her, so. when he realizes someone else is around, vax comes out of Stealth Mode and tucks his hands in his pockets. he is now much more feathery than the last time she would have seen him, but - ]
What've you got there? [ once he comes into view. ] And - hold on. What happened to your face?

[you wanted jiuqing to parkour and you will get it
which is to say! she's walking down the stairs from the metallic apartment (girl, just use the elevator), but at some point when vax is close enough to see it, she loses her balance. but when she tries to brace herself to fall, she finds herself pushing off the stair, jumping up onto the railing to re-steady herself, and then leaping down the rest of the way and landing easily, right at vax's feet.
she blinks rapidly.]
...whoa.

[ there she fucking goes!!!
all of our threads are just jiuqing being a badass which is fair. he watches her just yeet down the stairs, ready to like throw out a hand to catch her just in case?
and then he's the one who trips when he steps forward ] Fuck - [ bye ]

[hope you enjoyed your nap in a pod vax
when he's stable, he'll find that jiuqing is there in the medbay! she's been in and out of here all day long, which is probably no surprise. just for the ease of pcing i'm going to say her medical skills are back for now... but they may switch out later.]
Sir Vax'ildan? [whew] It's good to see you awake...

from @ doctorsu:
it looked like you took another turn in the healing pod?
how are you feeling?
[he had a leg!! it was attached!! she didn't get a great look at it before getting frozen and then after the waxification she got the hell out of there pretty quick but now that she's had a chance to calm down she's checking in.]

[ cries in belated britt pcs god our hours
anyway today im catching you early for maximum tag time so!! on monday, vax can be found... cleaning up the cemetery! it's currently winter, it seems, and he's bundled up in his cloak but nothing warmer, sitting cross legged in front of one of the tombstones with a cloth in hand.
it looks like he's cleaning the tombstones! aw. ]

[gently tags you first even though i'm trying to go mostly in order of receipt to be fair bc our tag schedules!! weeps
anyway. she's bundled up as well, in a cloak pretty much identical to the one in this icon, and she's grateful for it because wow it's cold as heck out here in winter. she's investigating the new areas, and when she spots vax, she heads over.]
...would you like some help with that?

...I'm alright. How are you? We had more unpleasant news this morning...

[ again!!
vax is up on the roof this fine evening. he's sitting on the railing of the rooftop, almost perching, his hood pulled up over his head. you'd maybe only be able to tell it's him from his posture and the feathers.
...he's not hiding, necessarily, though, so. company's welcome. ]

[honestly, sometimes you just need to get up onto the roof and vibe. jiuqing's other vibing spot, the ferris wheel, has been tainted, so she sure won't be going back there for a while!
...
anyway, she nods to him as she comes to the edge of the railing, leaning against it and looking out at the darkness.]
Sir Vax'ildan... [...] ...is there anything I can do for you right now?
[they're all having a rough time >T she wants to help if she can, since their emotional support sword is super dead.]

[here they are, just minding their own business wherever they happen to be, when a bubble very rudely pops up around them. wow! how dare it be so sneaky! couldn't it have failed it's stealth check?
anyway.
jiuqing sighs when they find themselves in a bubble. most of the memories that have been shown to get out of these things have been benign, so far - so with a look of resignation, she reaches for the bubble and touches it. it glows with a soft color, and the memory begins.
noble families really suck, don't they?
sometimes, family will be the death of you.
...but death isn't always the end.
when the memory ends, jiuqing is frozen, one hand brought up to her neck, her fingertips brushing against her throat.]

[ this
is a lot.
the stories of intrigue are maybe a little lost on him, but some parts of this aren't. the taste of death, first - the feeling of being strangled to death, is, unfortunately, something he is not unfamiliar with - but maybe more so the story of being half siblings.
that resonates. the noble family, the distaste the people looking down at her, imagining that she could harm anyone like that - he thinks of velora - and takes in a sharp breath when the memory ends.
vax's hand comes to rest between her shoulderblades, almost immediately. ]
Whoa - whoa. [ it takes a second to shake himself free, but the resulting tone is a genuine concern, gentle, as he ducks his head a little to catch her eyes. ] ...you alright, doc?

[the way i was tempted to not tag so the comment count wouldn't change........ tch
anyway. they're in the medbay! they probably all got yote in here at some point. i am not sure what Pod Logistics is looking like but i'm assuming he didn't go in for the full eight hours or else you wouldn't be taking pcs.
jiuqing's neck is properly gauzed and bandaged. she's fine, if kind of drained and exhausted after the fight with malik, but keeping busy is how she copes, and she's sorting through medical supplies.]
Sir Vax'ildan, might I see to your wounds...?

[ valid
we are here! in the medbay! vax did not go in for the pod - in fact, he's waiting his turn last, because he wants to make sure that all the girls get their chance. he's used to being half dead, nothing new there.
he's sitting on the bed, though, watching su jiuqing, and when she speaks up, he says, quietly: ]
... yeah, but only if you promise me you'll take the pod next.

[ now that my house is not danger of being blown away by a tornado
vax can be found in (rolls dice) the greenhouse! this is his usual favorite place to hang out, so. when he sees jiuqing, he gives her a smile - the immediate emotions are relief. he probably doesn't have to explain it - she must be just as glad percy is alright. ]

Hey, doc.
[well, he'll feel solemn vibes as she approaches the greenhouse - but upon seeing him, they immediately shift to relief. she's extremely glad percy is alright, and it's obvious.
she's just. you know. trying to keep a handle on that in front of most other people. but vax understands.]
Sir Vax'ildan, hello. [...] What brings you here today?
[she's crossing over to get a watering can to tend to some of the plants she's been growing.]

but i don't mind coming to meet you, if you would like to discuss this in person.

[ onto the rooftop we go!
vax is up here as usual, sitting on the railing. he's back in his comfy clothes again, scarf pulled up close to his face in the chill, and playing with something in his hands.
the emotional vibes are just...melancholy. nothing more than that. ]

[sometimes a bird just has to brood.
jiuqing spots him by the railing and walks over, leaning against it and looking out at the colorful lights. her vibes are much less calm than they were at the execution - she's not taking care to stay in contact with the stone on her hairpin - and they run counter to the look on her face.
she looks calm and composed, but her feelings are a mixture of grief, and anger, and sorrow... but underneath it all, purpose. she is not about to let this place keep taking people from them.]
Vax. [...] It's pretty quiet up here, huh?

he glances back when he hears footsteps, though, and offers jiuqing a soft, tired smile. ]
....hey, doc.

...I wanted to see how you were feeling.

[ when jiuqing visits the simulation room on this fine sunday, she'll find the setting to be something somber, but maybe familiar -- it's that church, again. the architecture of the inside looks like delicately carved bone instead of brick, and the massive sweeping steeple above her head ends in a dome, where stained glass shines a kaleidoscope of colors onto the white floor. it looks as if there are strings that cut through the echoing glass lights, endless, stretching off into the void of a darkness that seems to go beyond the room itself.
in the middle of the room is the blood pool, familiar from an execution gone by. the statue with the strange mask stands tall just above it, and there's a figure draped on the shoulder of it, a raven feathered wing hanging down vertical over the front like a cloak.
said wing is attached to vax'ildan, who's laying here with his hands folded on his chest, looking up at the stained glass.
when he hears the door open, he glances down, though. ]

[here they are in the greenhouse! they're both tending to some plants, and may or may not have been up here for a bit already? jiuqing is actually cutting some of the plants she's been growing and laying them aside to... do something with later? hm.

Vax, could you pass me the hose?
[some of these could use a little water...]

anyway, as he's entering the medbay he'll hear the sound of sobbing from the direction of the pods, and then the clattering of a phone getting yote onto the ground. it skids a bit and comes to a stop at his feet, open to a text; the screen isn't cracked because it landed on the back of the phone instead of the screen itself.]

["don't go near the tears," the meta text said. "you'll feel like cold and dread and like your color is being drained away."
jiuqing, who has had one hell of an afternoon of feeling fairly useless, is trying to push past that feeling of dread and step closer to the tears showing that black space with dust raining down. foolish. slowly, she reaches out for one of the tears...]

she smiles, though.]
I'm wonderful. It's so good to see everyone again.

...can I help at all? I can fetch supplies from other parts of the workshop, if you need.
