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.

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?! ]
no subject
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?
no subject
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. ]

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.]
no subject
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. ]
