B Movie Meme

You and yours are noticing how suspiciously familiar this whole setting is. Surprise! You're in a B-Movie. And guess who's the star? Ding-ding. Well, saddle up, grab a knife, run up the stairs - whatever it takes to survive to the end credits.

1 - "Hail to the King, baby": Welcome to being sucked into an alternate dimension with castles and demons and books that try to eat your face off. But that's okay, you've got a shotgun and a chainsaw, right? This... is your BOOMSTICK. Shop Smart. Shop S-Mart.

2 - "I'm gonna need a bigger can of Raid": Spiders, preying mantises, cockroaches, ants... whatever it is that has more than four legs, it's now supersized and about to attempt to move up the food chain. You gonna take that sitting down?

3 - "But the sign says don't feed the animals!": Mother nature is pissed, and she's got the critters of the land riled up and coming after you. Whether it's snakes in a plane, rats being directed by a scrawny bastard with satchels, or genetically altered bats/sharks/sharktopuses, they all want a piece of the OTHER other white meat.

4 - "I vant to suck your bloooood": Some creepy ass mofo in a cape with bad dental work is giving you the eye. Big eyes. With some kind of unibrow shit going on that needs to be trimmed. Plucking isn't just for woman, buddy. Grab a chair leg, or hell, a pencil, and tell him that no means no.

5 - "Maybe you should have taken a left at Uranus": Yep. You guessed it. Space aliens. Weird little green men with big heads and eyes the size of footballs. What's that in their hand? Is that... is that a probe? Oh god, run. RUN!

6 - "The curse of... that thing with the curse on it": Whether you've come afoul of a witch's curse, or you've taken something from somewhere you shouldn't have, you're cursed. Things are dropping on you, that black cat keeps crossing your path, things break just as you touch them. What else can go wrong?

7 - "Braaaaaaaaains": What's a b-movie meme without the obligatory zombies? Whether it's the Dawn of the Dead shambling ones, or the 28 Days Later running freaks of nature that have magically learned how to do parkour, you've got to deal with them. Grab a cricket-bat and your least favorite record and have at it.

8 - "Input. Does not compute. Error. Error": Robots gone wild, weee! Well, as wild as a robot can get. But when you take into consideration that they're no longer listening to you, and have decided that you're a parasitic virus on the face of the earth, you might have to try to give it the ol' reboot. IF you can reach the button...

9 - "There's something touching my leg": Yeah, we've done evil animals, but this is specifically for the 'wtf are you still doing in the water, you goddamn idiot' scenarios. Be it huge crocs, giant anacondas, flesh eating piranhas, there's something in that murky water that wants to get a little more up close and personal with you. Say hi to Cthulu.

10 - "She blinded me with SCIENCE": You should really be more careful with your components. Your experiment has gone awry, either blending you or someone else with some poor critter you had, or some type of virus that's changing them in ways that are VERY NOT GOOD. Now's not the time to remember you didn't fully lock the restraints...

11 - "DRAGONS!": Because dragons deserve a category of their own. Seriously. Motherfucking DRAGONS, yo. And they think you look mighty tasty. And small. And puny. And helpless. Get the goddamn army to show them just how not helpless you are, or die trying.

12 - "Let's do the timewarp again": Either the tagger or the taggee is from the future or the past, coming with a message. Or just a desire to fuck shit up. Go back and kill Hilter, you say? But... I want to go into the future and fly my car around.

13 - "REET REET REET REET REET": Can we say pyscho? Or Mike Meyers? Or Krueger? Or Jason? However you want to say it, there's a crazy guy with a knife/chainsaw/sickle and you're the only thing on their mind. Can you and your tagging partner evade them? Or is your tagging partner the one after you?

14 - "Devil with the blue dress on": Something wicked this way comes. Its favorite numbers are 666, and it likes to drink blood on a moonlit beach. You've woken it somehow, or it was the prophesized time for them to come and claim what's theirs. Namely, you.

15 - "Tremors": Look. If you know tremors, than I don't have to explain this. Just give me graboids and explosions and extensive games of "The ground is lava."

16 - "Wildcard": Don't see what you feel like playing on here? Make it up and go your own way, compadre.

Relationship ideas:
1 Comrade in arms: You and the tagger are in this together. Until the bitter, bitter, bitter end.
2 Enemies: You're tagging in as the antagonist in this little scenario.
3 Unwillingly dragged into this: You were just walking along, minding your own business, when BAM. Now you're in the middle of this mega-crap.
4 Consulting Expert: You're the expert that they're coming to for answers. You got any? HUH?
5 Wildcard: Come up with your own relationship.

They would. [It's a soft insistence, but he stops himself before he can say anything else, not trusting himself not to accidentally prod at Jin Ling's wounds. That kind of conversation...he couldn't be the one to start it. It isn't his right. He forfeit any rights he had to that sort of talk (any rights to the title "Uncle") a long time ago.

They would though. He would have been Shijie's pride and joy, she'd have never stopped smiling at her son. And the peacock too, he'd have loved Jin Ling. Wei Wuxian thinks he'd have even been a good father, maybe. Nothing like his own.

His eyes are growing heavier despite the hour (it's barely past 9 now, is he turning into a Lan?) and he lets out a heavy sigh, resigning himself to his fate. The injury and medication are taking their toll and falling asleep on the floor would only make him suffer the next day.]

This stupid medicine is knocking me out. Help me up?

[ He's silent at the insistence. Normally, something like this would affect him and he'd already argue that he had no right to say such things, but after spending time with him, Jin Ling, really thought that his actions were directed in the wrong direction.

After all, there have already been explanations for everything. It's still something to wrap his head around and sure he's still mad about it all still, but it's not as upsetting as he originally thought it to be. Give that Wei Wuxian also has done quite a lot for him in the short time they have been stuck together. On top of that, even Jin Ling isn't stupid to notice how cautious he is about anything regarding his parents.

He keeps his mouth shut for a while longer, trappedin his thoughts before he hears Wei Wuxian speak again, changing the topic. A relief for him since the air seems awkward. ]

You should have been asleep a while ago.

[ He sighs, getting up from his seat. ]

Here.

[ He walks over to give him a hand. ]

[Wei Wuxian takes it, hauling himself to his feet with Jin Ling's help and only a slight twinge of pain in his leg. He can tell it's leagues better than earlier even if there's still some lingering weakness. If he's lucky, he'll be able to walk on his own tomorrow, and if he's not, then maybe he'll at least be able to fool Jin Ling into believing that he can.

Though it's doubtful given his attempts so far.]

Asleep a while ago, do you hear yourself? Who goes to sleep at nine besides the Lan!

[Together they move to the bed and Wei Wuxian takes a seat, his hands going to his hair to begin unthreading his ribbon.]

[ Jin Ling doesn't miss the details and he's seriously eying Wei Wuxian when he is walking him over to the bed. Clearly, he's not in any shape to walk on his own at all. He will make note of this, lest Wei Wuxian argues with him about it in the morning. ]

Ugh, I don't want to hear this from you. Sick people shouldn't be complaining about getting rest!

[ He replied with a dead pan tone. ]

Plus, the healer at the clinic suggested that there will be bed rest for a few days most. You're already violating the instructions by moving around.

[ He's not getting away with saying he just slept. After all, they both are probably even more exhausted, given how much energy that they spent fighting off the spider monsters. Once, he manages to get the other in bed, he steps back to give the other some space. He should also get ready for bed as well.

There's a day bed across from the bed Wei Wuxian is settled upon and he's going to make his way over there. After all, he doesn't think two people can fit on that other one anyway.]

[Bossy! So bossy! What a rude boy! Wei Wuxian fixes Jin Ling with an unimpressed look, mostly because he can already tell that he's not going to make it easy for him to slip the doctor's orders tomorrow. Please! As if he has to actually wait the full time for recovery.]

It's just a little poison, and anyway it's mostly gone now. I bet I'll be good as new tomorrow.

[He sets his hair ribbon down on the stand next to his bed and pulls his legs up, a mischievous smile slowly rising to his cheeks.]

I seem to remember recovering quite quickly from my last injury of any significance, that time someone very rudely stabbed me.

I was back on feet in just a couple days. [He'd been totally unconscious for an entire day but Jin Ling doesn't need to know that.]

Edited 2020-10-12 05:16 (UTC)

[ What's new? He's a bossy young master. There's nothing to it. Where is the lie though? He's only following what he's been instructed and just in case Wei Wuxian forgot, he's the one that took the hit for Jin Ling and got himself hurt in the first place. He's not allowed to complain! ]

He said the poison almost killed you. Don't brush it off like it's nothing.

[ He snapped at the statement. He knows this for a fact because he remembers how pale Wei Wuxian looked when he brought him to the clinic and hearing the details of the examination. He's lucky the healer managed to get rid of most of the poison to the point where only some lingered. IT doesn't mean that he's completely recovered though!!!

Jin Ling is also on his merry way undoing his own hair after he snapped at Wei Wuxian to hear that sort of thing com out of his mouth. Without even gracing him with an answer, Jin Ling throws a pillow on the day bed right at Wei Wuxian's face. ]

Look Being stabbed is different from getting poisoned! They're--They're not the same!!

[ Why oh why did he have to bring that up? Jin Ling wants to put that in the back of his mind, but he isn't apologetic for it even if he feels bad about it. He definitely feels bad for doing something out of the pure rush of his emotions but seriously!!! That's not funny Wei Wuxian! ]

[Okay, first of all Jin Ling, if you think a little thing like almost dying is going to phase him, you have a lot to learn about your idiot not-uncle. He has almost died so many times, he's lost track. (Also there was that one time he did die so it's kind of lost what's supposed to make it special.)

And second, it's very funny, especially with a reaction like that. The pillow momentarily cuts off the laughter that erupts from Wei Wuxian, but only for a moment, and soon enough he's rolling back on the bed he's laughing so hard. Oh jin Ling, why are you such an easy target?]

You have to admit, [he manages, between peals of laughter,] it's—it's actually pretty funny!

You are right though, [Cue more laughter] it's a little different. Stabbing is simpler, I definitely prefer the stabbing.

[ To Jin Ling that doesn't matter. No matter how many times he almost died, or has died, he doesn't care. After all, he's upset that Wei Wuxian took a hit for him in the first place. There's no way he'd get over this at all. He's also not enjoying the fact that Wei Wuxian is playing this as a joke.

Seriously, can this guy be any less serious? He's just overall flustered that Wei Wuxian even brought that up! It was a long while ago and even Jin Ling has put it in the back of his mind. It's not like he did it without a reason. There was a clear reason for it at that time and he felt it was justified. Of course, now a lot of it seems so meaningless... ]

What part of this is funny?! Are you out of your mind!?

[ He shouts back in frustration. ]

Y-You!!! [ Wei Wuxian what is wrong with you!!?? ]

Ugh!

[ There's goes the other pillow STRAIGHT at his face. ]

[Okay that time was a little less flustered and a lot more genuine frustration, so he allows his snickers to die off, removing the second pillow from his face and placing it with the first. God, Jin Ling really is way too much like Jiang Cheng for his own good. It feels like deja vu, watching his face get red as he stomps around throwing things.]

Alright, okay, I'm sorry for teasing too much. [He sends Jin Ling a lopsided grin. The laughter has died down, but there's still mirth in his eyes.]

You really don't have to take it so seriously, Jin Ling. These things happen. I'm alright now, aren't I?

[ Don't blame Jiang Cheng for this. It's not Jin Ling's fault he grew up with his uncle the way he did and picked up bad habits along the way. AT the very least, he chooses to throw things that are not hard objects. They are soft things that do absolutely nothing for the conversation but to relieve how frustrated he's becoming with Wei Wuxian's lack of self concern.

He's not even mad about the the joke. He's more mad about how lightly he's still taking this entire situation. He really can die and it will not be a good feeling for poor Jin Ling who is partially responsible. That and it's not like Jin Ling hates him either. In more ways than one, he's slowly building some kind of relationship, no matter how awkward or ridiculous it seems at the moment. ]

Do you always do this? Treat your injuries, as if they're some joke?

[ He's still shooting Wei Wuxian a look for his apology. He's not accepting it that easily. He crosses his arm with a slight huff for the second part. ]

You can barely stand. Maybe if you actually took care of yourself, then we wouldn't be having this conversation.

[ You also wouldn't have to hear him nag you about your well being because you caused him to be like this! Remember?! ]

Edited 2020-10-12 06:27 (UTC)

[Congratulations, Jin Ling. He flinches. It's a momentary reaction that he shudders away a second later, but it's there, for just a second his expression revealing something more than humor. Something tired.

Do you always treat your injuries like they're a joke?

Yes, he does. Always. It's easier that way. Better for everyone. All those times Jiang Cheng fussed, he knew as much as his brother hated it, his teasing set him at ease. Even all those years ago in the cave of Xuanwu, wondering if they'd make it out alive, burning with fever. Even then he'd teased.

Because if he doesn't laugh then someone else will have to carry the weight of his injury. It's always been that way.

Wei Wuxian lets out a long sigh, the amusement dying in his eyes even as he keeps up a weak smile. He doesn't have an answer for Jin Ling. Not one that would satisfy him and not one he's willing to give, so he just waves him off, reaching for the pillows he'd thrown at him and gently tossing them back so that Jin Ling won't be without them.]

Alright, no more jokes, got it. [He says nothing about taking care of himself because he'd change nothing in his actions. If he'd died protecting Jin Ling, than so be it. Maybe it'd have paid off a fraction of the debt he owed him. He should muster another change of topic, but he doesn't have the energy anymore.]

Anyway, I'm tired now, no more yelling at me. Didn't you say I was supposed to got to sleep?

[ Seriously, he doesn't even miss the flinch, because he can tell he hit the nail on the head. The silence is more than enough to answer his question. Jin Ling thinks that this might be a recurring thing, given the response he got from simply stating that fact. He's not the type to hold back what he thinks.

After all, Wei Wuxian is the one that started this joke. He's going to have to answer to it at some point. Whether it be now or later, Jin Ling will get him to answer because this is stupid. It's dumb and he's pissed. Even if he has hated him in the past, even if he cursed him for various things-- all of that is in the past. He's learned to move past it and frankly, there's no point in being immature about it any longer. The truth is out. He knows everything.

He doesn't even blame Wei Wuxian for any of this anymore. In fact, he most likely will like to say that to his face but that's something he's not ready for yet. Just the same as treating him like a family member, as he knows he's someone close to his Jiang Cheng, and his mother. He's pretty sure Wei Wuxian probably did things like this in the past for his uncle and his mother. He's not a fool.

Jin Ling easily catches the pillows that are tossed his way, sensing the change in the atmosphere rather quickly. Ugh, why is he stupidly difficult to deal with? ]

That's not what I asked you.

[ He stated as a matter of fact. He know he's probably not going to get an answer for this-- or anything particular, but he still says it because he's still upset. ]

Don't turn this on me. You started this whole thing yourself.

[ He huffs in frustration as he the pillows are smoothed over. Of course, he rolls into the bed with the spare blanket up to his face. ]

You can't keep running.

[ He sighs in a low tone. ] You owe me an explanation-- another time-- so go to bed.

[ Jin Ling being Jin Ling is the best way to describe the last of his words. AKA, he will not simply just forget this conversation because it's something he noticed and it's now a concern. Especially, if someone is living this way for however long he has been. ]

[Wei Wuxian can't help but let out a soft chuckle, much quieter than before. He shouldn't have been worried about Jin Ling dealing with his sect elders, the boy can clearly out stubborn any one of them.

But he is a boy. Just a boy, only fifteen. And for as much as Jin Ling might be determined to get an explanation, he won't be getting one anytime soon. Not an explanation that isn't a clever dodge anyway. Wei Wuxian will find the right way to spin it, he always does, and he knows how to play Jin Ling's emotions for a distraction. It's not something he'd normally do, but on this he'll make an exception.

Jin Ling is barely not a child. The same age Wei Wuxian was right before the war started. He's already had to carry burdens that never should have been his. Wei Wuxian won't give him this to carry too.]

Suppose I did start this, didn't I? [It's thoughtful, and loud enough to be overheard even if he's mostly talking to himself. Wei Wuxian settles himself again, his body feeling like it's been stuffed full of stones. Jin Ling is right about one thing at least, he really did come close to death today, and he can feel how the aches linger.]

Good night, Jin Ling, I'll see you tomorrow.

[And tomorrow, Jin Ling may not forget, but he won't know how to bring it up, and if he does, Wei Wuxian will be ready. Maybe Wei Wuxian does need to talk about it. Maybe it's about time he took a good long look at some of his coping mechanisms. But it won't be tomorrow, and it won't be with Jin Ling. He could never do that to Shijie's son.]

[ Something he's learned to adapt with. Jin Ling definitely won't let people push him around. He's too bull headed sometimes for that and the elders, as much as he needs to show them respect, he will not keel over to their demands. He's going to find his way to lead his sect the way he thinks his father would have if he were alive. That's without any argument.

Of course, he knows he's not getting jack from Wei Wuxian at the moment or anytime soon. That change of tone and the way he talked earlier, was enough to let him know that. That doesn't mean he's going to forget it. He'll let it go for now and eventually, one day, maybe when he's an adult, they need to have this conversation because it's not healthy. There is also ways he can also go about this as well but he's tired and he doesn't want to argue with Wei Wuxian again. He obviously doesn't like that Wei Wuxian is good at reading him and diverting his attention somewhere with just a few words. It's infuriating. ]

Hmph!

[ He scoffed, pulling the blanket over his head and not really answering his good night but the sound at least acknowledges it. Oh, he will definitely not forget anything... at all. Regardless, he lets himself fall into a dreamless sleep. ]
