WHO: Wei Wuxian, Jiang Cheng and the Vogue
WHERE: The Vogue
WHEN: Late January
WHAT: did you think friend town was a fucking game jiang wanyin
WARNINGS: should be none, but who fuckin knows

[November was turbulent, December was busy. Late in the month is their New Year so that means new year, new Wanyin right? Certainly, Lan Zhan could also benefit from this masterfully laid out plan of Wei Wuxian's but it's about doing a test run first in one's experimental process of socialization.

Or something like that!

So under the guise of, "hey, help me out with something in town" (not a request), Wei Wuxian took Jiang Cheng to the lively Entertainment District of Kaisou headed to one Vogue Theater.]

I told you I played for bands before, right? I left some equipment here and it's too much to carry on my own!

[Wei Wuxian does not play in any band at the Vogue.]

[ he didn't agree to any new years resolutions, thank you very much─ hell, he hardly agreed to helping Wei Wuxian out with whatever it was he wanted to do here. were it not for cabin fever setting in and a pointed look from Lan Wangji he would have refused out right, but alas... the revered Jiang Wanyin has a weakness in this life and their names are Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian.

so it's begrudgingly that he accompanies his sworn-brother into the Vogue Theatre, eyes narrowed and fingers curled tightly around Sandu in his hand. (even with the Order gone, the threat to their lives dissipated, Jiang Cheng refuses to leave the house unarmed.) ]

Couldn't you have asked one of your "bandmates" to help then, instead of me?

[ does he believe Wei Wuxian's claim?? maybe. maybe not. ]

[conseqweinces]

Maybe. But you were closer and I don't have to wait for a text back!

[Which would be an excuse Wei Wuxian would use even if he wasn't omitting the truth about why he brought Jiang Cheng here. It's not a lie that this would help him! It'd help him know his brother won't be alone regardless of where he goes or what he does.

And also to see his reaction. Either way once there he pushed the doors open to let them both inside of the club where he greeted those not on the app immediately, because of course he's known by a bunch of randos, and then anyone on the app.

... By bringing Jiang Cheng in close by his shoulder with his other arm extended in a welcoming fashion.]

Hey, I brought someone new! [:)]

[bebest]

[ Zulius had been overseeing (read: ordering) Bennet to fix one of the house lights when Wie Wuxian shows up with...

SOMEONE NEW!!!!

Zulius GASPS!!!! Trotting over with a grin. ]

Oh my goose, a NEW PERSON!!! [ You cannot run, Jiang Wanyin. It's over for you now. ] Hiiiiiiiii new person! Who are YOU, Gorgeous?

1/??

[fouren]

[ what the ever loving fuck─ ]

[fouren]

[ IS THAT A CENTUAR??!?!?!?!!? ]

[fouren]

[ what is the centaur talking to him?! why is it coming over???? oh god, he wasn't prepared for any of this. ]

4/4

[fouren]

Wei Wuxian.

[ 'hey, i brought someone new!' this was never about collecting equipment was it?? that was a bold face lie to get him out of the house and force him into a situation he otherwise wouldn't have been wasn't it?!

oh, oh when he gets his hands on Wei Wuxian... ]

[conseqweinces]

[Wei Wuxian's already got you hugged by the shoulder nerd, are you gonna strangle him in front of all these witnesses?! THOUGHT NOT~!

But oh the devilish grin Wei Wuxian had on his face. This'll be good for you!!!]

Oh, this is my spicy younger brother! [Nudge nudges.] He spends so much time inside that I thought I'd take him around.

[bebest]

[There is no escape. He has been Seen, and therefore he is now doomed. Zulius grins over at Wei Wuxian.]

You have a bro-bro? And he's spicy? Those are the best kinds!!!

[The tone is praising, like he's telling Wei Wuxian he did a GOOD job bringing his poor brother here. Zulius starts walking a lazy circle around them, humming and tapping his chine, taking in all of Jiang Cheng like he's apraising him. ]

Oooooh I LIKE him! He's gonna be FUN around here, I just know it. [ To the man himself: ] You're gonna have a great time having some fun amongst the people! We'll get you a social life in NO time.

[fouren]

What are you─?!

[ Wei Wuxian's arm holds him in place but that doesn't stop Jiang Cheng from trying to pull himself free and flee this whole situation. when that doesn't work he resorts to jabbing his sworn-brother in the side with his eblow.

you son of a bitch.

he bristles as Zulius starts to walk a lazy circle around them, like a predator, jabbing Wei Wuxian again with his elbow. ]

I appreciate the offer but it isn't necessary.

[conseqweinces]

[You're gonna have to try harder than that, Jiang Cheng because with each jab you give an equally strong jab is given right back and he's still not letting go of you.

Not that it would matter with Zulius having the guy in his sights.]

What's so unnecessary about it? [To Zulius:] You know, he's been here since back in late November! [Another jab. Gentle persuasion.]

[bebest]

Since November? [Zulius gasps, before waggling a finger at Wei Wuxian clucking his tongue.] And you've only brought him here now? You're slacking, Sweetie.

[ Anyway, back to the newbie. ]

Oooooooooh, I like you! You're stuffy~ You know, I'd offer you the little introvert corner over there, but my boo is usually there and he's kinda territorial about it. Might hiss at you like an angry cat.

[ No, the choice of not having a place to sit is not coming up. ]

But maybe I can find another one. Like, on the OTHER end of the bar so you don't have to look at each other. That works for introverts, right?

[fouren]

[ he doesn't want to be here, he wants to go home and not be here anymore. why must he suffer like this? what has he done wrong in his life to be forced into a social situation he wasn't prepared for nor wanted to be in!!

his grip around Sandu increases and Jiang Cheng has to take a deep breath in, resisting the urge to awaken Zidan from it's sleeping place on his finger. ]

Everything. [ it's said more to Wei Wuxian than it is to Zulius, who gets an almost pained look from Jiang Cheng. he doesn't want to be here but he also doesn't want to be rude, his mother would rip his throat out if he was. ] I can get my own social life if I want it. I'm not hold up at home all day, I walk my dogs regularly.

[conseqweinces]

I knowwww! But a lot's happened since then, you know! Can't you forgive your friend Wuxian just this one time? Pleeeease?

[He also had to put the fire out that was how he nearly completely shattered his relationship with his brother and husband again.

But they won't. They won't talk about that right now!

He at least gave Jiang Cheng a pat on the back.]

You don't talk with anyone while you're taking the dogs out. [Trying to catch him if he tries to say he does.] You're already here, so you might as well give it a chance. Look, he's even giving you a chance to keep away from crowds. That's nice of him, right Jiang Cheng?

[Wei Wuxian didn't know how Jiang Cheng was raised. It would make him sad to really dwell on that fact knowing shijie was with him. But right now he at least knew even an introvert corner would be more chance for Jiang Cheng to socialize than what he's been avoiding all this time.]

[bebest]

I'm gonna forgive you this once, because I am soooooooooo kind and considerate!

[ Also because he has been given a new OFFERING. A new person to bother and befriend. That can sooth any ruffled feathers when it comes to Zulius! He clucks his tongue as Wei Wuxian just absolutely calls his brother out. Softly: ]

He doesn't even talk to anyone while he takes the dogs out. Tsk tsk.

[ He claps his hands excitedly, ANYWAY! ]

You can get a social life here WAY easier. Ask anyone! They'll tell you their social lives got way better by spending time here. OKAY, so! We can totes get you your own little introvert corner. What's your style? Do you like the spooooooky gothic or does something else work better for you. It's important to make sure your introvert's special space is comfy!
