preliminary notes 000 [CW: drug withdrawl]

[ He sounds slightly familiar to a couple people, but there's a shaky quality to it as if he is trying to cover up something and being extra perky in his attempt. ]

Sorry don't mean to make a mess of things. I dropped the tray again.

[ He really isn't around much even during the mandatory times, he's the guy wrapped in a blanket looking like he is ready to either die or fall face first to the ground and then die. He's got a pale, sickly look under his tan, and his eyes are mostly glazed when they do not go just pure milky white. He looks 100000000000% ready to just toss himself on the nearest sharp object when he isn't muttering in Thai or some kind of weird hissing language, and getting him to sing just has him coughing. A lot.

When he does manage to move, he walks as if he isn't seeing anything around him, and there's moments when he just sways like he's on a ship at sea before giving a shake of his head and smiling. Often he can be found in the infirmary where he can at least get some pediatric drinks for when he can't eat anything else. But he is mostly a mess, shivering in corners and running into people, which he is sorry to do and will try his best to apologize. ]

[Nanny clucks her tongue, like he's one of her grandchildren and she's being indulgent with him. She calls to him, kindly. She knows what a terror it is to be here]

C'mon, lad. Up we get. No harm done.

Nainai would tell me to get a mop. [ He sighs and just goes to slouch on the floor. ] You'd think that they would have something for people with a bad stomach here. Like congee. I miss congee.

Re: Voice

[cantbebuggered]

Aw, lad. Here, Nanny Ogg is on her way. We'll get you all cleaned up. You want to come to my room for some tea and cakes?

Re: Voice

[ragsnbone]

I... could do with a cup of tea. Maybe something sweet.

Re: Voice

[cantbebuggered]

Coming right up, love.

[And Nanny comes over to Wu Xie, giving him a gentle hug and a pat on the head]

There, now. No need to be a silly bugger, let's go have some fresh tea, you and I. I'm sure Greebo is starved for company.

[ He looks up, eyes huge and giving his best impression of a wet puppy all alone in the world, which, given that he is looking like death just hit him on the head with the 'oh god of hangovers', is probably close to accurate right now. ]

Okay. [ It takes him a moment to remember he has legs, but he does finally manage to stand. ] Tea. Yes.

Re: action

[cantbebuggered]

[Nanny helps him up, surprisingly sturdy for an old lady who resembles a wrinkled apple in face. She pats him on the shoulder and starts leading him to her cabin]

Here we are. Not allergic to cats, are we? Only Greebo's got the run of the place and I'm afraid he's a grumpy little kitten right now.

Re: action

[ragsnbone]

M'family raises dogs. but no, not allergic. Not sure if cats like me.

[ He's already been lightly whacked by a big cat that talked, but he wasn't sure if he was dreaming that or not. He really hates how his head felt itchy on the inside. ]

[qingofcats]

"Ouch!" Comes a voice from about ankle height, and from exactly where Wu Xie just kicked something with a remarkable amount of give. "Stupid human, watch what you're doing with your giant, clumsy feet!"

[ragsnbone]

Wu Xie isn't a stranger to things at ankle height talking to him, even if usually they were the kind of things that would quickly bite him after. This one didn't bite him, but still was solid enough that he, still reeling from actually having to be in his head instead of the eyes and mind of several thousand years ago as seen by a snake, just gently keeled over, blanket and all.

"Sorry," he muttered towards whatever his ankle was saying and pulled his legs towards his chest. "Thought I was a snake."

[qingofcats]

At that voice Da Qing stops in the process of turning away from the stinky, clumsy... not human?

"Shen laoshi?" he asks, turning and bounding over to plant himself on the man's chest and push his face right into his. He looks so much like Shen laoshi, even more than he sounds like him, but even through the stink of sweat and some kind of drug he doesn't smell like him. And there's something... softer and younger and more human in his face. And his scent.

"You're not Shen laoshi!" he snaps almost immediately, and then baps roughly at his face with a paw, though he very magnanimously keeps his claws sheathed. For now. "What are you doing with Heipaoshi daren's face and voice?! Give them back!"

[ragsnbone]

The sudden weight had him squirming, air escaping with a hiss and eyes blinking rapidly. It was grounding, as was the sudden furry face shoving itself into his vision and then there were paws wapping him in the face. Wu Xie went first to grab the furry presence and strangle it but reason took over instinct and he just wiggled his fingers to a spot right behind the ears and scratches.

"Can't help it. I know at least seven people with my face on my world alone. Maybe he's another one?"

[qingofcats]

"Your world is awful!" he declares with authority, and steels himself not to give in to the ear-skritching. "And of course Shen laoshi doesn't have your face, you have his. You and all those other face-stealing criminals!" Because of course anyone stealing faces is a criminal... oh no. OH NO. Has this monster actually stolen Shen laoshi's face?!

This time he doesn't keep his claws sheathed as he rakes them across the man's stolen face and yowls, "Give it back! Give Shen laoshi's face back! It's his! He had it first! He's had it for ten thousand years and you can't steal it!"

[ragsnbone]

"Look, people copying my face was because they wanted to - HEY!"

Okay, that was it. Wu Xie has been bitten and scratched and yowled at by bigger animals than a over weight talking cat and he wasn't about to let him scream about stealing whoever's face like this. He grabbed the cat by the scruff of his neck and yanked him away from his face, sitting up and frowning.

"I have no idea who Shen Laoshi is so why would I even want his face? This is what I grew up to look like, idiot cat."

[qingofcats]

Da Qing's response to being scruffed is to twist and yowl and try to reach up with his forepaws to claw at the face-stealer's hand and wrist and forearm. "Give it back!" he insists again, in between incoherent feline screeches.

"You look absolutely awful," says the soul of tact, from where he's sitting on a chair, flipping through an already overly saccharine book he suspects has been further expunged of anything potentially interesting.

"Oh good, I wasn't sure if I'm conveying the right amount of 'ill' and 'I think I'm actually dead' seeing how the medic room only thinks I need an aspirin to feel better," he replied, squinting at the nearby voice if he wasn't sure that he could trust his ears yet. Since it was an actual person and not someone dressed like they just stumbled from a wuxia drama, he relaxes slightly.

"They really don't believe in hangover meds in this place. I'll file a complaint if I think that'll get me anywhere."

Re: spam

[everythinglost]

"Try writing it in blood. I don't know if it'd go through, but that might get you put on something stronger than an aspirin. Will it make you feel better? Who knows. But think of how that information could help others."

"Last time I did that, I had the mother of all bugs try to bite my head off so I'll pass," he said and just gently takes a seat on the ground, limbs all akimbo and blanket sliding off his shoulders. "I really am not a fan of the architect in charge of this place either. Too much bad feng shui."

Re: spam

[everythinglost]

"Yeah, I can see that." He considers the room. "But do you think good feng shui would really be enough to save it?"

Re: spam

[ragsnbone]

"Actually..?" He frowns at the decorations and round edges and lack of any really hard surfaces and makes a face. "No. They don't even have any element - no wood, no metal, no stone, and only one big piece of water. The tree house thing isn't on the right corner and this -" he picks up a pillow and shakes it like a dog worrying a toy. "- is a travesty in colors. My degree might have fixed more on older designs but even I call this all balderdash."

Re: spam

"I don't know much about it, and most of what I do know comes from lectures on how 18th century British occultists have some deeply questionable ideas about the world. It's way too limited an understanding to start on trying to imagine how the baby-proofing for adults would fit in."

Oh dear.

[The very soothing, gentle voice can be heard - the words are in the first language Baymax heard him speaking in. Thai!

As he steps close enough to comfortable speak to the young man, he very gently holds out a ginger-based lollipop. It isn't very sweet, but ginger is good for an unhappy tummy!]

You are experiencing symptoms that align with: Withdrawal. It is recommended that you take the following steps, when possible:

Asking for help.
Eating well.
Light Exercising.
Drinking plenty of water.
Relieving current symptoms with over-the-counter medications, and
Sleeping.

I can provide you with vitamins and supplements, as well as ginger ale and water. [He gently holds out a cup of vitamins and supplements, followed by a child-sized box of ginger ale and a bottle of water.] It is also recommended that you spend some time with supportive people. Would you like me to sit with you?

[ragsnbone]

[ He just blinks at the soft looking white... person? Machine? And then looks at the lollipop. It takes him a moment but he accept it since his throat was a little dry and ginger is nice, even though it was lacking the spice he really liked. ]

I won't need help; it will go away since I can't get any of that here. Or anywhere really. But thanks?

[ He just takes the little cup of pills and gives them a look but downs them anyways before accepting the brink. ]

Well. I guess I wouldn't mind. I can tell stories.

[there_there]

You are quite welcome.

[Baymax enjoys helping everyone as much as physically possible, battery charge allowing. Baymax settles near him slowly shifting into a sitting position. Baymax speaks with what sounds like a hint of genuine excitement.]

I would like that, if it will help distract you. I enjoy learning about other worlds.
