Shuri's made a few changes to the last version she'd had him test, and has sent him back out with instructions to try smaller things with the new arm this time, as she is looking for fine nuance and haptic feedback results.

As a result, Bucky's decided to settle in the bar at the ends of the worlds for a bit with a good cup of coffee and see what he can figure out to test next.

Wei Wuxian rolls his eyes in true shidi fashion. Honestly, is that what we're wasting time about here?

"C'mon, give it here, fussy." He's got a nice little incineration talisman right here for that, quick, easy, done, on to the actual treating of wounds and contamination.

The cloth burns in a brief, bright fireball, and it distracts Wei Wuxian just long enough for Buck to make decent headway.

Then there's a startled squawk of indignation from Wei Wuxian.

A talisman, bright cheery yellow and fast, whips past Bucky to plaster itself to the stairwell. With a flash, the passageway is suddenly blocked with a gleaming golden net.

A second talisman, this one written solely with spiritual energy and shoved at Bucky with no remorse, resolves into a silver string wrapped around Bucky's flesh wrist. It matches the loop tied around Wei Wuxian's left arm.

"Contamination. Infection. Infirmary."

Wei Wuxian produces a weighting talisman and roots himself in place, refusing to be dragged. He's getting wise to your muscled ways, Bucky-xiong.

"I know this will come as a shock to you, but well-stocked infirmaries usually also have ways to get people clean, and the Bar can get you an entire wardrobe of clothes."

Wei Wuxian peers at Bucky in concern, but still deactivates the talisman keeping him in place and heads for the infirmary.

"No, Wei Wuxian. Or Wei Ying, if you like." He makes a mental note to check Bucky for a concussion.

Wei Wuxian is fully aware that it is downright odd for this to feel like home, but... heading to the infirmary after a fight, with someone grumpy on his heels, squabbling all the way?

Yeah, that... that feels right.

Wei Wuxian refuses to examine it too closely, for fear of breaking into tears over its sharp edges. Instead, he's just extra buoyant as he bounces into the infirmary. He is somewhat disappointed to not be immediately threatened by needles, but it's a good thing Wen Qing is getting out of the infirmary sometimes. Maybe she and her brother are off doing something fun together. That'd be excellent.

"Alright, clean, then medicine, then music." Whoop, that was his First Disciple voice, maybe he should tone it down a notch, this isn't one of the Junior crew, to be bullied into not dying of corpse poisoning. "Oh look, they do have a cleaning area... mmm. Is that a shower?" He asks, curiously, peering into the bathroom at what is, indeed, a shower head. Look, things are a bit different where he's from, and he hasn't yet seen the need to change his ways.

Wei Wuxian nods, grinning.

"You should've seen me after fighting the Turtle of Slaughter - rancid turtle guts and blood and pond scum, wonderful mix, I thought Jiang Cheng was going to throw me in the river on the way home."

Never mind that Wei Wuxian couldn't have stopped him, being more than half-dead at the time from the fight. Never mind that's the last time they both went home to an intact Lotus Pier before war descended on their heads. Details.

"Once came out of a fight covered in spit, just drenched, couldn't get a single inn to let me stay the night until I'd jumped in the pond, it was winter..." He rambles, shivering dramatically as he heads over to the section Wen Qing has very obviously organized (it's so good to see her neat script on the bottles, yes these spark joy). He's not a doctor, but he was an excellent First Disciple - he knows his first aid, even if he's fairly crap at applying it to himself.

"The normal kind! And then there's the monsters, but monsters are weird all over." Wei Wuxian protests. "I've seen the skeletons of your 'dinosaurs', don't even try to say there weren't monsters."

[personal profile] alongfallfromgrace 2021-10-14 05:14 pm (UTC)(link)
"Mmmhmm." Wei Wuxian does not sound convinced, but he'll admit he's never seen any monsters when he's gone to visit baba in France. Not that he's gone looking for them, but still. He's sure lots of people in his where and when go through their lives without truly seeing anything out of the ordinary.

...

Well, maybe not in his generation, the Sunshot campaign pretty much put paid to that, but... like, other generations. Surely.

He's collected a few salves that he knows work in this sort of situation, and decides that if they later need an actual tonic, he'll go find Wen Qing for it rather than trying to guess. He does leave a note to her about which ones he's used, for her inventory.

Look, he remembers (most of) his time in the Burial Mounds. He learned very quickly not to mess with Wen Qing's supplies without thorough documentation. Then he raids the bandage cabinets, coming away with the stuff he understands and leaving the rest for... whoever wants those, so odd.

So medicine, bandages... ah.

"Tea or soup, Bucky-xiong?"

Wei Wuxian blinks, wordless for once at all of the skin. And people call him shameless. He scrapes his composure together, resolutely.

"Something warming would be good, so - tea or soup?" He asks again, chin up resolutely. "I don't think it's so bad as to need one of Wen Qing's tonics, so we should be able to manage without her." He waves a hand at his pile of supplies, neatly(ish) stacked.

"She is brilliant, Milliways is lucky to have her." Wei Wuxian declares, with the unspoken addition that anyone who wants to say otherwise is looking for a black eye. He has a quiet word with one of the waitrats that hang around the infirmary, before heading back and grabbing one of the jars of salve with a determined air.

"You'll need this - do you want me to put it on, or do you want to do it yourself? Since Wen Qing isn't here, you get options."
alongfallfromgrace: (Go on I'm listening)

[personal profile] alongfallfromgrace 2021-10-15 12:18 am (UTC)(link)
"It's not indestructible, if that's what you're asking. It'll break if it falls, for sure." Wei Wuxian judges.
alongfallfromgrace: (Rising to the challenge)

[personal profile] alongfallfromgrace 2021-10-15 12:40 am (UTC)(link)
Wei Wuxian blinks at Bucky again, wordlessly, this time in disbelief.

"I do need to introduce you to Wen Qing, she'll never harass me for being reckless ever again." He finally manages, taking the jar and opening it. "Do you want me to apply it as well?"
