[ Hua Cheng will let everyone into the room, huli jing carried in his arm because it no longer has the willpower to walk. There is nothing amiss in the room, thankfully, and the bed is frankly enormous so there should be no need for anyone to sleep on the floor.
Especially in this state.
He is persevering, but he's going to just. Go sit down for a minute while y'all find your respective places to die. ]
[ It is a very. slow. process, but the huli jing slides down out of Hua Cheng's lap to go over to the red panda. Once it gets there, it flops down with him, curling around him with all six tails. There will be an attempt to get him up onto the bed in a moment, it's just - very tired. ]
[ he just snuggles into the huli jing's side. ochako lets her hand dangle from the side of the bed in an attempt?? at touching them both, but the bed looks tall so she probably falls short ): ]
[ xie lian gives her a tiny smile from where he's leaning against hua cheng. ] I've been poisoned enough times now, it isn't that unusual... but it's been a while since it's been this bad....
[ she is stubbornly persevering, but. yeah. rather than a gentle flop onto one of the chairs by the table she just of just sprawls herself gracelessly into it.
her daemon, in cat shape, just curls herself into a tight ball on the table. ]
[ They can hang out at the table together. Hua Cheng reaches and puts a sympathetic hand (well, his only hand, but turn of phrase) on the cat. Pat pat. ]
... While parts of my previous existence weren't ideal ... the resilience against things such as this would have been useful.
[ preferable to this.
the daemon startles, head snapping up and ears pricking straight up and swiveling forward in the way we know all cats do, but... she does settle after a moment.
En, I rather miss my general resilience to - well, everything. [ He's worse off than he's pretending he is, but he's genuinely exhausted if his daemon is anything to go by, where it's largely immobile either in his lap or with another person's daemon. ]
We'll be fine, in the end, but a little suffering for our recklessness.
[ His fingers wiggle at the cat activation, a mild apology and just confirmation it was him. But then he rests his cheek against his fist, propping himself up. ]
[ xie lian seems... all things considered, better than anyone else in this room? he still feels gross, but he's so used to this shit that he's at least functioning.
he's leaning against hua cheng, though, his own ferret daemon curled around his neck like a scarf. ] He was only trying to help.
[ Hua Cheng wishes he had his other arm if only so he could wrap it around Xie Lian. ): But his weight shifts, so he can lean against him in return. The fact he's better off is the least surprising thing in this godforsaken Realm. ]
He helped. To be entirely honest, I said it to Won - there's a chance we never would've known if it didn't go the way it did.
He tried, as we all do. He can't... really be faulted, for following much of the same procedure as we've already established in the past.
[ they just all get to feel miserable but it's fine. activated cat daemon makes a mild prrrt noise before getting to grooming and curling right back up. ]
[ usagi, who really is still waking up from her deep depression sleep finds herself a spot on the bed to sit and jazz hand quietly since... well. she’s not really feeling anything but panic and vague nausea at the moment? now what does she do??
on the other hand, Luna has already taken the initiative to go purr on the other daemons and start nudging them into a pile ]
[ Just hang out and wait for your vague nausea to settle, Usagi, it's fine. It'll eventually pass for all of them, maybe. But - at least they're in this together? ]
At least you missed most of the excitement of this, Usagi. [ He's just sitting at the table watching Luna's valiant efforts to tend to the other critters, bone deep tired. ]
