Since I'll be away for 3 weeks at the start of February (cruise trip to southeast Asia), I'm putting Wu Xin into a semi hiatus.
He's going to seclude himself into his room to cultivate his martial arts, which he's been neglecting since Narrenschiff's battle.
His presence will become nonexistent around the Barge, possibly even on network. Think of it as almost a self imposed coma. He won't actually be unconscious, so he might still show up in network.
Wen Ning: yeah that's normal
But when breach comes around, he'll be pulled into it anyway, so I'll be plotting and active for the breach!
fiercebadrabbit: lol! Only Wen Ning would understand that. Guy disappeared for a few weeks, oh yeah, he's just practicing his martial arts. Totally normal.
nammah He might give Aerith a heads up that he'll be missing from the greenhouse for a bit.
siderealtime:
magicom: he'll inform them that he needs to go into seclusion for a while, and reassure them he's fine. He might have explained a bit more to Winter, so Malcolm might be able to kinda explain to Will this is a martial arts thing. Maybe, sorta. Depends on how much understanding he has and how he interpreted Wu Xin's words.
Gotta be genre savvy for each other
fiercebadrabbit: his qi was still kinda disrupted and not back to full standards. Assume Wen Ning might have noticed if he ever got a chance to check Wu Xin's pulse or something during their riding/shooting event.
Good!! I promise I have not forgotten our earlier thread
steve will come check in occasionally if he doesn't see him around, but obviously we can just handwave that! <3 ENJOY YOUR TRIPPPPP
Will won't worry, in that case. But he will probably ask him about it, after reacclimating post-Breach! He's curious how that all works.
he absolutely can! as often as is needed~
Though he might not answer the door... So there might need to be like piled lunch boxes outside his room. Lol
(plus extra cookies because why not)
ahaha well as long as it eventually disappears XD
siderealtime: yes, he'll try to explain to Will that he's not really injured or anything. He just needs uninterrupted time to get things back on track with his energy and all that.
And Will definitely understands needing time to one's self to recharge, even if it's not as literal as what Wu Xin's doing.
siderealtime: Lol. Now I'm imagining a recharging Egg. Great.
Sorry to custodian people. For like a month, there will be boxes of food and empty boxes piled outside the end of 4th level.
Will can take care of that. <3 He will come by and just check on the door every so often.
Malcolm will definitely tell Will everything Wu Xin said to Winter.
ancillaries: from now to forever, any time Wu Xin signs something that's sent to Walter, it'll be the egg. XD
magicom: yeah, assuming he would. So question is only how much he understands of what Wu Xin is saying. And if he might be overly worried and have a concerned interpretation.
cannibalherpes: thanks! And assume that if Thrawn messages, he'll get a delayed reply possibly a few days late that Wu Xin said he's fine, but will be unavailable for a while. Possibly via emojis because it's easier than audio.
Walter will be part of the cabin 307 "no one overreact, the kid isn't dead" party though he will NOT be telling Will any classified information he may gather lmao
Walter Malcolm thought you were cool.
Aerith will be just OK, be safe and don't forget to eat
Being a nark isn't cool ^_^
ancillaries: Will wouldn't ask, he knows the inmates need their secrets. also (surprisingly, as he used to be a fed), he's not a narc either.
Hanna and Abel just hoping he's doing okay!
Yelena will either drop by or poke him on the network, but would leave him be once she sees it’s weird martial arts stuff, so we can probably handwave.
Tendi will check in on him, but she trusts Will so if he says Wu Xin is okay she'll back off.
ancillaries: what is there to narc about? He's just out of commission and disappearing for a few
days weeks!
quantumvelvet: assume likewise she'll get a delayed response of a few days, possibly along the lines 🥚👌
ancillaries: Walter relevant too.
omnomivore: yeah, she might need will to explain because Wu Xin's messages will likely not be clear enough for her liking
She might get it more than he expects! Meditation in solitude isn't an uncommon practice in the galaxy, even among races she's worked closely with like the Vulcans and the Bajorans.
His is just a more punchy version lol
BBitsaboi: if... Just if.... But if he let's Hanna borrow the Switch while he's away... Will 1) Hanna think he's leaving 2) will he get it back??
omnomivore: yeah but she might need to reach Will before she realized that
is what he's doing.
ahaha well, Hanna is pretty sure he can't leave without disappearing and he knows people cant do that on purpose but he would give it back, absolutely. he isn't a thief even if he will mourn the loss of it and probably ask for one himself when he graduates
BBitsaboi: XD okay, assume that until end of Feb, Hanna has his Switch.
fuck yes xD he might let Vincent borrow it for the week he's gone following his graduation.
hope it's another non-seasick cruise!
