Wu Xin will walk out of his room just in time for shoe swap!

What a way to come out of seclusion.

Open the door and end up stepping into an AU life or two.

<33 not behind at all, you're right on time

cannibalherpes: Oh, I thought that went up ages ago. XD

nope! And I haven't even posted on it yet, and I think it's one of those "play it by ear" floods anyway

so anticipating a lot of "jumping into open logs"

Yeah, I'm still writing mine up on mobile. Fun times.

I have no idea what I'm doing.

Updated with a plotting thread

Now to look into possible AUs that Wu Xin can step out of his room and become for a few days.

oh yay, Wu Xin's almost done with his seclusion! (sorry about the immediate flood, buddy)

siderealtime: what a time to step out. I think this is the perfect time for him to be very confused.

I think he's going to be making a network post and in the middle of it bump into a pair and change.

Need to find someone for that.

XD perfect. Will responding like "oh hey watch out for the- ...ah, too late "

siderealtime: ooops, at least he tried! Who would have thought Wu Xin would come out right at that time!

Hm... I think I misunderstood the flood. Deleted plotting post and rewriting it.

Yeah...I'm not sure how to really thread them at the time, so much as gain the insight to apply after. But if for some reason you'd like to AU a god, I'm here for it (or if you have other ideas)

AU a god sounds very very interesting!

floofdoodle: hmm... I mean, deities could technically exist in Wu Xin's world too. There's various sorts of immortals.

Updated new plotting comment for Wu Xin's life highlights for people

Okay, the more I'm reading about the flood the more confused I am. People are still going to be on the Barge, yes, with only these AU history / personalities spilling over, right?

So they're just going to be alternative versions of themselves all of a sudden?

yeah, that's the idea, I think. you can also take on just a part of that (like switch out with someone else's powers, but not their history).

Okay, trying to figure how that would work in a network post in terms of memories and reaction.

I am in and out (more out than in today) but would do something with Wu Xinnnnn

Yeah, I'm still trying to get it all sorted myself

magicom: yessss. I think I've decided to turn him pirate to start...

floofdoodle: and still very open to ascend him to God hood somehow

My understanding is touching the boots is all it would take

floofdoodle: Oh, yeah, I know that. The somehow was more like 'how am I going to make this work'.

Gotcha

floofdoodle: there's no leprechauns in Chinese mythology, but a forgetful god is possible

Lugh was actually very knowledgeable (one of his other names means ''skilled equally in many arts')

Though you're welcome to play with the forgetfulness

By all means

Oooh. Was Lugh a warrior god?

Yes. Here are some of his other names (the caption is also a quote), and if YT regions will let you watch it, here's the scene of him (cw: lots of violence and gore)
