No, he really is. He'll be unconscious, first in the infirmary where he was deposited (hi Aerith!) then whisked away by his warden (thanks Will!) to sleep in Malcolm's place.

He'll be unconscious for three days straight, 50 hours give or take. So no responses to any network in this time.

He'll be back to checking the network in a few days after he awake, eaten, and oriented himself.

Though his mental state isn't going to be as good as before. This is his first time experience with so much death and destruction. Not mention literally getting his hands dirty in a lot of violence. He was elbows deep in blood and that they weren't really alive anymore to begin with didn't really matter.

Up until now his violence had been a lot of personal attempts on his life, and some casualties when his master went berserk and killed a bunch of people, but Wu Xin's parts had always been mostly clean. Violent fights, but not really bloody ones.

He's handling it well-ish, but day sort of neck deep in things does leave his spirits a bit dampened.

But the fact that he was capable of that violence might make him wonder a little if he's really that devil/demonic/evil monk people call him after all.

So his arrogance might be a bit toned down for a while while he internalizes things and wonder if the Admiral might be right in bringing him here. (... So a step in the right direction, but for all the wrong reasons.)

There.... Miiiight be slightly less network presence from him. And he might be found in the speakeasy more (because it's harder for him to be get into the lounge, but he might be there as well). Drinking monk go!

I think the lounge is pretty trashed anyway.

Nat was Upset.

quantumvelvet: Oh yeaaaaah. Wait, she trashed it out of the Barge?

But yes, general somber mood around the barge will affect everyone.

He'll be working on fixing things mainly in the greenhouse and he garden. Might even be hardworking for once.

Though he'll also be checking on people too. Just casually to see who is alive, if anyone is gone, and who did they gain.

He's not good at actually seeking people out on purpose.. Thigh he might message Yelena. Because he saw her zombie.

And thank Abel.

Actually would Walter finding out from Wu Xin about the encounter with Yelena be possible?

Well, Wu Xin saw dead Yelena walking.

So he might be a bit concerned for what happened to her... Dunno how that would come up in conversation, but if given the opening, he'd mention, yes.

ancillaries: so yes?

Ok. You can let me know if you need a thread, just, I think Walter already knowing something happened to her will create opportunities for when he approaches her

Will Walter find him before he approaches her though?

48 hours is a long time so maybe not...

Yup. Wu Xin is going to be out of contact for a while. Though Yelena would be death tolling, so not sure when he'll find her either.

And I realized that he might actually go on deck at night hoping to catch the wolf pack at night (no idea who they are!) and talk to them some about his troubled thoughts.

So animal forms have a very high chance of him spilling some secrets or opening up because he thinks they're animals.

/ provides a small, lonely weasel, or possibly occasional tooka cat

Fuzzytale: what is a tooka cat?

Does Fives retain all memories of what he heard in animal form?

oh yeah, he's 100% himself

the animated vs live action versions

That's... A very weird looking thing that Wu Xin would be very curious about.

alien kitty

Wasn't sure since he's also all animal instincts as well.

Let me know if that works for you, otherwise, I can edit

CK is just being a gremlin at him in the TDM sorry

floofdoodle: I was actually going to put up a aftermath post tonight, want to put it there instead?

You got it. I'll copy and delete. The content ok though? Or would you like something different?

omnomivore: kitty, you'll find he's annoyingly hard to gremlin at

floofdoodle: did we want them to work on magic in the greenhouse?

If we're going to do that, it'll need to be after his recluse period. Which I totally don't mind waiting for; I just forgot the plan

floofdoodle: Nah, we can do that again later. I'm going to have a speakeasy open as well, want to use that one instead? But he's totally fine in coming upon Sweeney.

We'll figure it out. I'll take a look at your log and we can go from there

Up and pinged!
