A face-to-face discussion would be more fitting. When you say neighbours, do you mean it in the literal sense?

[ Wei Wuxian is suddenly in his lap and he brings a hand up to rest against the other man's back, to steady him and make sure he doesn't end up leaning too far and falling off of him.

Lan Wangji's also rather delighted to learn that he isn't that interested in the excessive flirting and stripping and whatever else is going on here, his expression perking up at the news. Good, that is very good, he doesn't think Wei Wuxian should be ogling anyone else, and having the same done in return.

It also spurs him on to be a little braver, and when Wei Wuxian says he should sleep with him if the room is bigger (and he's almost certain that it is) Lan Wangji assuredly responds: ]

If Wei Ying insists.

[If he sleeps beside Wei Ying, that means nobody else gets to. Perfect. ]

[ Well that is easy enough to guess. There is only one person in this whole realm who would call Lan Wangji a friend, let alone soulmate. His Wei Ying, except nobody else gets to use that name, so: ]

Wei Wuxian. Lively. Carries a pink flute.

Different people each have their own definition of fun.

[ So the answer would be.... no..... he doesn't. ]

[suibian]

[ Now that he's in Lan Wangji's lap, he's quite comfortable and less concerned about leaving immediately. Though it's still a bit loud in here, even for him, but the scent of sandalwood in his nose and the warm hand on his back soothe him immensely.

He's going to drop his head against Lan Wangji's shoulder and curl his arm around his neck, holding onto him lightly as he settles. ]

Of course. I'll even go to bed at hai shi for you. Whatever Lan Zhan wants.

[ Though it is... past hai shi right now but he means in general!!! Which also implies that he can sleep in his bed whenever he wants, yep. ]

[survivaltricks]

yep. that's him. summons ghosts, rips off car doors. . .

he's a friend.

want to segue this into action from here or have them arrange a later meeting? 👀

[worldbent]

Yes. After all, I am also a 2 of Clubs.

A funny coincidence, don't you think?

[ in the privacy of his own room, Getou plays it back several times, the spectral creature sitting at the foot of his bed watching on with no life or opinion to speak of, nose twitching and paws folding themselves together on rote. he struggles with it — getting his teeth around that zi. ]

Sorcerer.
Something between a warrior and an exorcist.

[redhairedturk]

Aaahh. Gotcha. That's a no then.
But that's fine. Unless you tried to push your rules on everyone else!

[jinyanshu]

[ With Wei Wuxian settled against him and a head resting steadily against him, Lan Wangji is content to stay in this way for a little longer, to give himself a moment of indulgence before leading them out. It's too loud, too busy, too late after all.

He lets out a huff of air in amusement at his friend's declaration, leaning in close to his ear, to ensure he is heard. ]

Lying is forbidden. [ When has Wei Ying ever wanted to go to bed early? ] Wei Ying would really be good, and sleep when instructed?

[ The wording is on purpose- "sleep" as opposed to "be in bed". ]

[suibian]

[ Late indeed. So late that even Wei Wuxian is having trouble staying awake now that he's in Lan Wangji's arms. Even the loud pulse of the bass isn't getting to him anymore when he's like this.

Then there's the soft rumble of Lan Wangji's voice in his ear... ah... ]

Ohhh, you've got me there. I can't make a promise I won't keep.

[ But he does yawn suddenly, nuzzling his face into Lan Wangji's shoulder and closing his eyes. ]

But I wanna be good for you... I can try?

[jinyanshu]

[Wei Wuxian doesn't seem in a hurry to move, so Lan Wangji makes an executive decision for the both of them. The hand supporting his soulmate's back reaches around his waist as the other slips under his legs, hoisting the other into his arms as he gracefully rises from his seat at last and makes a beeline for the exit. If Wei Ying wishes to see his room, then he shall. ]

Mn. Tomorrow, we will go to bed at hai shi.

[ A trade-off. Tonight he stayed up for far too long and in a club for Weu Wuxian's sake (and not because he wanted to intimidate anyone trying to get too close, of course not) so tomorrow night (or tonight, technically, considering the time) they can both stay in and go to bed at a reasonable hour. That's fair. ]

[jinyanshu]

[ A friend, huh? He is glad in his own way, he would much rather Wei Ying be making friends rather than enemies.. especially when both can be equally as likely at times. ]

His friendship is a blessing. Do not squander it.

[ And then, time to be nosy: ]

He spoke of me?

[suibian]

[ It is fair! Lan Wangji has been indulgent with him and so, Wei Wuxian owes him. He wanted to see the fuss with after dark, he wanted to enjoy the game, but now he's tired and everything is really loud so... to bed they go! When Lan Wangji scoops him up, he just curls into his arms and sighs happily, no objections here.

He's quiet up until they leave House Finch and are back to the quiet of the hallways. That's when he'll speak up, his face tucked against Lan Wangji's throat, forehead pressed against skin. ]

Thanks for coming with me tonight.

[ He's been thanking him a lot about spending time with him lately. Not something necessary but... maybe a bit indicative of how much he missed Lan Wangji in his time here without him. If Wei Wuxian had to describe it, it was definitely like missing his other half. ]

If you are amenable, we can arrange a time to meet. I often frequent the library.

@broca

[jinyanshu]

[ 🐇 ]

If they are allies and not antagonists.

[ He can think of "acquaintances" he would rather not see again. ]

[jinyanshu]

As long as your behavior is not impeding others. Be cautious of surroundings.

they can meet sure!

[jinyanshu]

Mn. Am curious as to what criteria they use when issuing their assigned cards.

[redhairedturk]

What's that supposed to mean?

Re: @johndoe

[entirelymyown]

 I'd like that. I enjoyed our shared dream in the VR. It was nice to explore with you.

[jinyanshu]

Wei Ying asked.

[ That's all he says, as if it is an assured thing. Wei Ying asked so of course he accompanied him.

He leads them back to the main lobby in silence, then down the stairs to the basement level where the rank two 'rooms' are assigned. After a moment of shuffling— now holding Wei Wuxian with only the arm under his legs in order to free up the other— a quick swipe of his watch against a door unlocks it and it opens up to reveal... well, literally just a bed. He really hadn't been kidding with the 'closet' analogy. ]

Sleep here tonight.

[ If there are complaints about the lack of space, he can easily enough sit cross-legged and meditate at the foot of the bed, but he isn't quite ready to let Wei Wuxian out of his sights once more.

[suibian]

[ Wei Wuxian lifts his head up once they room is revealed to him and if he was less sleepy and ready to tease, he would absolutely give Lan Wangji a hard time about his shitty ass room. It really is a closet. What a claustrophobic space! But instead he just lets out sleepy giggles and drops his head against Lan Wangji's shoulder again, mumbling — ]

At least there's a bed.

[ When they're inside, in the scant amount of room, Wei Wuxian will peel himself away from Lan Wangji to stand on his own two feet again. He's dressed up a little for club night, because he doesn't have the benefit of having his robes back. Without even thinking about it, he's going to start undressing for sleep. Down to his boxer briefs and black t-shirt, he dumps his clothes on the floor in a pile in the corner before moving to crawl into the bed. ]

[jinyanshu]

[ It isn't the first time tonight he's met someone in a similar line of work. First a self-proclaimed exorcist, and now a sorcerer. Idly, he wonders if there is a connection there somewhere, as to why they've all been brought here. Something to ponder upon meditation tomorrow, perhaps. ]

I practice cultivation. That too, can be something between a warrior and an exorcist. Elimination of ghosts and spirits becomes necessary when resentment begets malevolence. Subjugation is unorthodox.

[ Though Geto likely knows all about that too . ]

[jinyanshu]

Rules become enforced when they are necessary.

[ That's what!! ]

[jinyanshu]

I also thought it amiable, despite circumstances. Tomorrow?

[ Then he checks the time— well past midnight, practically unheard of for him. ]

Correction. Today?
