Where: All around NYC
Rating/Warnings: Please put appropriate warnings in the subject line of your threads where needed
Notes: If you want your character to ask for Bureau help, the Bureau will help. However, players will need to handwave that interaction because the Mods don't have time to play out all of that.

The droids are everywhere! There are strange patches of alien worlds - also full of droids! Good luck, fair Different.

Arrival 9/25

[personal profile] howkickassiam 2020-09-26 04:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Since this whole thing has been going on, York has been finding himself relishing fighting the droids and using their own weapons against them. However, even when doing something is fun, one will tire of it after a while. So York makes his way to the Bureau a couple days after it begins. He's ushered in and sent to the quarters where others among the Different have been holing up without him.

When he enters, of course he makes a beeline for where Xian lies reclining on the bed. He's so glad to see Xian's okay, but he doesn't express his relief as such. He just says, "Got the party started without me, I see."

Wei Wuxian nearly drops the drink in his hand when he hears York's voice. He looks up at the other and he has never been very good at hiding his emotions so relief is evident in his expression as he sets his drink down.

Standing up, he doesn't hesitate to wrap his arms around the other man and pull him into a hug, "What the hell you jerk...you've had me worried. I thought one of those robots ate you or something." Can robots eat? He doesn't care. Knowing York is safe is like a huge weight lifted.
howkickassiam: (Picture perfect)

[personal profile] howkickassiam 2020-09-28 07:30 pm (UTC)(link)
York returns the embrace with relish, enjoying the feeling of being enveloped with affection after these several days of fighting.

"I'm okay," he says. "I'm okay."

After a little while of that he pulls back just a bit to look at Xian.

"I'm glad you've been here safe. There's a lot of shit going on out there."
chenqing_player: (AU Smirk)

[personal profile] chenqing_player 2020-09-28 07:37 pm (UTC)(link)
"Yeah a lot of shit that could have crushed me like a bug. I'm not an idiot." He looks up at York and a small smile forms at the corner of his lips.

"Ready to drink and forget all about it? Or tell me all about it while you drink to forget it."
howkickassiam: (I like that)

[personal profile] howkickassiam 2020-09-29 02:42 am (UTC)(link)
"I'll do both," York says firmly, and plants a quick firm kiss at the corner of Xian's mouth.

"What do we have on tap here?" he adds.
chenqing_player: (AU Laughing)

[personal profile] chenqing_player 2020-09-29 02:48 am (UTC)(link)
He laughs and pulls him down to sit next to him on the bed he's been given, pulling out his stash from underneath it. "The finest liquor that my apartment had in it." Which is actually quite a lot and a good arrangement of various hard liquors and beers. The Bureau of course isn't really providing them with alcohol so he is glad that he brought it himself.

"I brought everything I had. Who needs clothes when you can just fill your suitcase with alcohol." There were clothes in his suitcase but most were arranged so that it was protecting the bottles.
howkickassiam: (Yeah I'm hot)

[personal profile] howkickassiam 2020-09-29 03:11 am (UTC)(link)
York laughs and starts poking around among the bottles to see what sounds good.

"How many kinds of whiskey did you think you need?" he chuckles, then picks out a bottle of bourbon and uncaps it. "Got any mixers?"
chenqing_player: (AU giggle)

[personal profile] chenqing_player 2020-09-29 03:19 am (UTC)(link)
"Hey..each whiskey is unique and sometimes you just have to be in the mood for a certain one." Does he have mixers...He smirks as he reaches under the bed and pulls out the half of his suitcase that he has basically turned into his own little mini bar and snack shop.

"If there is something I know, it is how to party even in the most limited of circumstances."
howkickassiam: (Picture perfect)

[personal profile] howkickassiam 2020-09-29 03:24 am (UTC)(link)
"Remind me to get your phone number," York says, as if he doesn't already have it. He reaches down and grabs some ginger ale.
chenqing_player: (AU giggle)

[personal profile] chenqing_player 2020-09-29 03:42 am (UTC)(link)
He purses his lips and throws a flirty look York's way, "As if you haven't already cashed in a few booty calls. Pretty sure those still trump alcohol." They do in Wei Wuxian's book anyway. But he'll take both all day, everyday.

"You don't need my number anymore now that we are roommates." He looks around at their new housing arrangement as he reaches down and retrieves the drink he had nearly dropped upon York's arrival.
howkickassiam: (Champ)

[personal profile] howkickassiam 2020-09-29 05:47 pm (UTC)(link)
"That is 100% the truth," York laughs. "I'm glad they decided to do this, though I'm really surprised they have these quarters available for people."

York grabs a glass out of the suitcase and mixes his drink—heavy on the whiskey, light on the coke.

"Are there others in these quarters, have you noticed?" he adds, curiously.
chenqing_player: (AU can't be serious)

[personal profile] chenqing_player 2020-09-29 05:51 pm (UTC)(link)
"Clearly they are prepared for something like this to happen..which is a little concerning." Because if they know this kind of thing could happen, it means it could happen again even if they solve this puzzle this tie.

He takes a sip of his drink as he considers who he has encountered, "There are a couple others roaming around. I've only spoken to that Lan Wangji guy though." There is a little bit of unease in his expression as he mentions the name. Even if he isn't the one who killed him, having someone else who apparently is from the same memories is still a little uncomfortable.
howkickassiam: (Tell me about it)

[personal profile] howkickassiam 2020-10-01 01:04 am (UTC)(link)
"Mm," York replies, taking a drink. He decides to address the latter part of that and not the former, for now. "I take it you guys aren't really friends?"
chenqing_player: (Default)

[personal profile] chenqing_player 2020-10-01 01:17 am (UTC)(link)
He finishes the drink he had and starts to mix a new one. He's going to need it to unwrap whatever is going on with his memories and that other guy.

"It seems our past lives are connected. With that death memory I had..he was in it."

And that made him really uncomfortable. "I thought that he might have been the one to kill me but after talking he was apparently trying to stop me from killing myself."
howkickassiam: (Looking on)

[personal profile] howkickassiam 2020-10-01 01:19 am (UTC)(link)
"Oh," York says, moving a hand to caress Xian's lower back. "Awkward."

More than that, really, but that's the first word that comes to mind.
chenqing_player: (AU serious face)

[personal profile] chenqing_player 2020-10-01 01:27 am (UTC)(link)
"Yeah.." He finishes making that drink, that hand on his back actually helping him to relax again.

"It's just strange to think someone else around here might share the same memories. I guess I just don't feel too comfortable with the idea quite yet. They haven't been the best of memories."
howkickassiam: (Calm)

[personal profile] howkickassiam 2020-10-01 01:31 am (UTC)(link)
"When it's something like that, yeah," he says. He feels Xian relax into his hand and rubs it a little more firmly against his back. "Do you remember what circumstances that would have been under, or just...remember feeling that bad about life?"
chenqing_player: (Default)

[personal profile] chenqing_player 2020-10-01 01:34 am (UTC)(link)
"I think I was a bad person..or was trying to stop myself from being one. A lot of people seemed to die because of me."

He closes his eyes and just holds onto that drink, "I could feel this..power. And it felt like it wanted to consume me. So instead I think I chose the only option I thought I had."
howkickassiam: (Looking ready)

[personal profile] howkickassiam 2020-10-01 01:43 am (UTC)(link)
York puts his drink down and wraps his other arm around Xian's shoulder.

"Did you move on and do better after that?" he asks. "Or do you even know the answer to that?"
chenqing_player: (Default)

[personal profile] chenqing_player 2020-10-01 01:48 am (UTC)(link)
He shakes his head, "I definitely died..but I get this feeling that it isn't the end. Is that even possible? But then...I deal with spirits apparently so what is to say I won't have memories as a spirit?"
howkickassiam: (Thinking)

[personal profile] howkickassiam 2020-10-05 10:38 am (UTC)(link)
"It's possible, I guess," he says. "Though...I don't suppose there's anyone in your world making AIs out of dead people..."

That's how 'ghosts' work in York's world.
chenqing_player: (AU soft)

[personal profile] chenqing_player 2020-10-05 02:27 pm (UTC)(link)
He laughs a little and shakes his head, "Pretty sure that technology is not available to them."

With a shrug, "Eventually the mystery will be solved. Just need to get the right memories to do it."
howkickassiam: (Champ)

[personal profile] howkickassiam 2020-10-05 02:32 pm (UTC)(link)
"I hope you get them soon, then," York says. "Seeing as how knowing will help you feel better about it."

He gives Xian a squeeze around the shoulders and then releases the arm crossed across his front so he can take a drink.

"I don't suppose you've gotten much sleep since you've been here."
chenqing_player: (AU Smirk)

[personal profile] chenqing_player 2020-10-05 02:37 pm (UTC)(link)
"Sleep? Definitely not. How could I sleep with all the insanity going on out there?" And the fact that York was out there in it. And everyone else who he hadn't seen since it all started. He takes a long sip of his drink.

"A few more drinks and I'll be able to sleep like a baby though."
howkickassiam: (No pants are the best pants)

[personal profile] howkickassiam 2020-10-06 03:38 am (UTC)(link)
"Mm."

York rubs his hand where it rests on Xian's lower back.

"I think we'll both break records for sleeping like the dead after what's gone on this week."

His drink is already making him drowsy.
