ahh thank you!!

that could all totally happen! wei'd probably easily fall for the charming type and would end up idolizing him + sending him gifts and letters as well as developing a crush on him! maybe he could find out about her feelings for him beforehand and when she gets him alone once she's finally worked up the courage to confess, he lets her know he knows before she can say anything and all the drama commences from there? wei still has this perfect idealization of true love so she'll definitely be really down when her feelings aren't returned and lancer distances himself from her, she'll probably end up p miserable from everything not going perfectly and will probably distance herself for a while, too

who makes their meeting thread?

Wei's mind had already began to race with the possibility of everything going awkwardly wrong as the canine turned towards her, nervousness gripping at her chest and throat in knowing anticipation of the embarrassment she thought would be quick to follow. How could she possibly have such good luck, anyways? Was she so excited over meeting the prodigy that she mistook any large hound for him? The bolt of skittishness seizing her when crimson eyes met her own almost made her shudder, though all her actions completely seized for a moment as the direhound spoke, eyes widening with pure surprise for a moment after his words. He... he was Yuu Baskerville! He was really Yuu Baskerville! Right here, right in front of her, speaking with her at this very moment! Her instincts and hopes were right! The little feline's expression lit up with absolute glee, a wide smile of childish excitement accompanying the little squeal of enthusiasm that squeaked out before she managed to start blurting out her thoughts.

"I-It's you! It's really you! I-I can't believe it! Ahh, I'm so, so glad to meet youuuu! I can't believe it's really you! I-I've heard so much about you! You're, like, a real warlord! A real prodigy! You're the best fighter I've ever heard of! You're amazing! You- you- you...." She began to slow down at the very end, anxiousness seeping into her smile and gaze as she realized exactly what she was doing. Babbling on and squealing like a kid in front of her idol. Oh god. Oh god. Out of all the things she could end up doing, it had to be this. If she could turn bright red with embarrassment, she would have done so at that moment, the little femme hunching in the slightest into her scarf with a quiet, awkward laugh with her heavy realization. Great. Just great. How was she supposed to make up for that? Clearing her throat, she continued on, in what was more of an awkward mumble than her former excited rambling. "U-um... I... I-I'm Wei. Black Isle- er, I-I'm from the Black Isle, yeah, A-Ace of Espionage. Uh... sorry- I'm s-sorry. It's just, uhm, really, really nice to meet you!"

Gah, that sounded terrible. This was a mess. She was a mess. Everything was a total mess. She meekly coughed in an attempt to hide her obvious flustered attitude, an attempt that failed as she attempted to get over it and go on. "I... um..." What was she supposed to say? Of course, she had imagined how this day would go plenty of times before, but now that she was an awkward mess in front of this amazing prodigy, her mind was a completely blank. Wonderful. He asked what she needed, right? She wanted to know more about... everything. Where did she even start? Well... what questions would an interviewer ask? She didn't want this to be a formal interview- as if she could ever pull off being formal, anyways. But she wanted to ask without stuttering over every syllable and making a complete fool of herself... well, here went nothing. "I- uh- I've wanted to- I mean... I-I... I've- I've been wondering about... a-about... uh-m... a-all your achievements... and stuff... I mean- I just want to ask about everything you've done t-to rise up the ranks so... so skillfully!" ... this was going to be the death of her.

Android. Oh. That little 'oh' wasn't of disappointment, no; in fact, the correction only brought even more interest to her twinkling gaze. It was of her own brief, sinking feeling of stupidity at the realization, though it thankfully faded away soon after it came. How was she supposed to know, anyways? Back at the matter at hand- he was an android? Like, a living being with robotic parts? Or a robot that appeared to be entirely natural? That... that was still amazing! It was almost better, even! If he still had organs and flesh left, that meant he had been an ordinary wolf before; did that mean she could become an android, too? That kind of stuff was actually possible now? Where did she sign up for this? Where did he sign up for this? Why was he an android? She had too many questions now, and she was much too eager to have them all answered as soon as possible, lest her imagination fill in the unknown gaps with wild possibilities she could never decide on.

The annoyance in the robot- no, android's voice tinged at her enthusiasm, though, leading her to do her best to keep her behavior moderate for now. As much as she wanted to bounce around and ask flurries of excited questions, she had to stay nonchalant and casual, unless she wanted to go ahead and embarrass herself. She didn't. She really didn't. "Android, right! And, um... I'm... just out here to explore! Uh, well- well, what about you? Why are you out here?" Did that sound too forceful? Hopefully not. Her gaze darted to his smile for a moment, the slightest tilt of her head accompanying her thoughts. Was... something off about that smile? It seemed a little weird... probably because he was an android. Guess everything wasn't absolutely perfect when it came to his mannerisms. Oh well. That wasn't important at all compared to the fact that she was face-to-face with a partially robotic being, an actual, real android!

ahh, so will wei ;;

i can make it tomorrow, if that's alright!

Well... that beginning was ominous. There was already a nervous lump in her throat from the beginning that she had to do her best to keep down, ears perking in the slightest at the announcement about the prank war. A tie? Aw. That was... mediocre. At least it wasn't a loss, right? And it was fun- that was what was supposed to matter. Even as she tried to look on the positive side, though, she still wished that the Black Isle had at least won by a point or something of the likes. It would've given her something to be proud of as well as something to ease the tension of the upcoming bad news. It hadn't been stated to be bad news, exactly, but that introduction couldn't yield anything good. So she kept her maws shut with the tiniest of smiles and waited in anxious anticipation, doing her best to hold her imagination back from going rampant with what could possibly be done.

That little smile disappeared as her questions were answered, jaws even opening in the slightest at the announcement, disappointment clear in her gaze. Wait... no. What? They... would merge? And just... disappear? They wouldn't be the Black Isle anymore? They'd just.... fade into another group? This... it wasn't what she wanted. Guilt began to seep into the young teen; she could've done more. She could've been a better Ace. She could've helped the clan out more and recruited more members, been more active, done her job better... she could've done anything to save the Black Isle from having to disappear from history. This wasn't how she imagined what was supposed to be a fearsome pirate group going out. This... she didn't even know what to say.

The news of her keeping her position didn't do much to help- she was just as downcast about the whole situation, even if she'd still get to be an Ace or whatever that would be in another clan. She wanted to speak up, to oppose this in some way, but she couldn't even muster up a squeak with her utter lack of confidence to do so. Disappointment, regret, sadness, anger all began to burn at her, yet she couldn't muster up the bravery to say a word about it all...

Bao finally caught up to her at that point, grumbling and bumping her leg, and with only a shake of her head given in response, the femme nudged him back and walked away alongside her pet. Even if she didn't want to think about this, it was certain that it'd be hanging over her mind for a long time. Unfortunately, everything said was true, and there was no room for any hope in her mind, as hard as she knew she'd try to summon up some.

// all ic opinions of course + unfortunately, i have active characters / inactive characters i want to bring back soon in all the possible groups we want to merge with, and playing two characters in the same group kinda ruins my muse, so i'm gonna be moving wei. she can be assumed missing the night before the trip to the group the merge occurs with. sorry about this!

The femme would keep a patient look about her as she waited, though impatience was quick to flare up within her as she was simply too curious when it came to this being, practically tilting on her toes with the excitement she bore. She just wanted to know everything, really. She had only asked one question so far, sure, but she had way too many more and was struggling with pacing both her thoughts and speech with the sheer enthusiasm she bore. This was a real life android, after all. She had only dreamed of meeting such a creature, one she thought she'd only ever hear about in sci-fi. She was wrong, though, and for once, she was glad to be wrong. Very, very glad.

The fact that the wolf wanted to be away from people panged at the back of her mind, telling her that she was probably being quite the annoyance right about now. It helped her keep her excitement in check, but it certainly didn't stop her from talking to Technopunk, no. She was much too interested for that, as much as a mix of embarrassment and nervousness was beginning to well up within her. Nope, she was not deserting this. "Oh- do you, uh, live in... in one of the clans nearby? Um, if so, which one? I'm from the Black Isle!" That little part of her own introduction struck her with a moment of realization, the young teen stopping entirely in both movements and her thoughts, rebounding quickly with a fairly frantic tone. "Gah-! I f- well, I- Um, I'm Wei, right, my name's Wei! Nice to meet you...?" Why didn't she ever remember to introduce herself at the right time? Her voice did trail off into a curious question, though, as she also realized she didn't even know this android's name. Did he even have a name? Probably.

aaaA so sorry for not getting lancer's thread up yet!! i've been doing my best w/ trying to get back into actually being productive irl and not sleeping until 1 pm since my break just ended ;; it'll be up sometime soon!

ooh, that could happen! wei would honestly just completely freak out (in an excited way) over seeing a real dinosaur + would probably try to train her or at least teach/show her something lol would probably start trying to teach it about her weapons and/or cooking equipment tbh

she'd be just as eager (if not more) to fight a real dinosaur in the case of her finding herself in a fight w/ blue, but she might go for trying to befriend her first out of sheer wonder !

who makes the thread for em?

ahh that'll probably remind wei of her pet giant salamander, bao, mostly because he literally eats anything and everything and she's fed up w him-- she'll be trying to juggle being super enthusiastic and kinda expaserated and it will be hilarious tbh

that'd be great, thanks! she currently resides in the black isle, but they'll be going through a merge p soon + she'll leave right before that happens so it can just go in the official group roleplay board! she's outside of her clan's territory most of the time anyways

"Technopunk! Um, nice to meet you, then!" Technopunk of the Exiles... she didn't know of the Exiles, but that had a nice ring to it! His name definitely befitted his appearance, that was for sure. Everybody she met had a cool name, honestly, especially the ones with two parts to them like Luciddreams and this android's name. Was that some sort of trend around here? Maybe she'd join in on it... Wei Qiao was pretty lackluster, to be honest. How did someone change their name around here, anyways? Did they need some sort of permission or did they just announce it to the world? Ooh, maybe she could pick out something related to espionage, considering her rank... Silentwatch? Poisonknife? Smokespy?... wait, she was getting off topic. Her excitement had leaked not only into the situation but her entire imagination, spawning other trains of thought with childish enthusiasm in her mental babbling... but that didn't matter. There was an android in front of her. She still couldn't get over the sheer excitement of that fact.

The aforementioned (well, the only) android seemed to be a bit... off? The little errors in his voice caught her off guard, gaze sharpening with focus as her head lightly cocked to the side, concern welling up in the slightest with her endlessly-growing curiosity. His voice had been pretty monotone the entire time, only morphed by annoyance even she could catch onto. What was happening now with this... stutter? Was he malfunctioning? Did that affect his speech? Didn't malfunctioning machines start twitching and sending sparks flying, anyways? Maybe he was just nervous. Or was something else wrong? What was wrong? Why? Intrigue and worry glinted in her gaze as she took a few steps towards the wolf, childish voice reflecting the same sort of tone that lay in her expression. "Uh... you ok- you alright?" Was this the best idea?... did she ever go with perfectly reasonable and safe ideas?

Well... today wasn't a very good day. Wei was trying to make it a good day, though, practically dashing through the meadow she had found herself in, cold wind rushing through her fur and twirling the ends of her scarf. Running was the only activity she could think of right now; well, there was never a time where she could only think of one thing to do, but she needed something to release her energy. She needed something that would occupy every part of her and leave no room for any thoughts or stops. After all, the news of the merge that the Black Isle was about to undergo still lurked about her mind, swimming between the front and the back and bringing nothing but discomfort to her. She refused to mull over it, yet her guilt and sorrows and childish anger still all seeped through and twitched at her muscles, almost asking her to do something about it. And so she did, bolting over plains like her life depended on it, but it wasn't enough. It was still on her mind. Gah, why did this have to happen now- no, why did it have to happen at all?!

Huffing, the little femme skidded to a stop, paws sliding over grass as she had to halt and breath, claws unsheathing and shredding at the earth below her with absentminded frustration as she grumbled to herself. It just wasn't... it was just unfair, that's what. It was an embarrassment, even. A disgrace. A disappointment. She was speaking of both herself and the Black Isle, of course; she couldn't ignore the tug at her mind whispering that she, too, was at fault for all this. She... just didn't want her pirate crew to disappear. Everyone would stay and she'd keep the equivalent of her rank, sure, and she could visit the islands she had called her new home, but it wouldn't be the same, no, not even close. It- she didn't even know what to think of this. It was all a muddled mess of emotions and she couldn't separate them at all. Why was her life like this? Why was she like this?

Sighing, she started walking again, picking up a light jog and a tune to hum as she pushed that all aside with the tiniest hopeless smile, though she knew it would resurface in a matter of seconds.

// L.BASKERVILLE  

Wei was typically out and about as well, more often than usual, even, albeit for different reasons. She simply loved to explore, always hoping to find something that looked like it was straight out of fiction, whether that would be a place, a creature, an artifact, or simply some sort of phenomena that would excite her. She wanted something exciting to happen- it didn't matter what it was. She had met many different creatures out on her adventures, and some of them satisfied such a desire, while others weren't particularly special but were still fun to be around nonetheless. Still, she hadn't found any particularly cool places. There were too many forests in this world and she was sick of seeing nothing but clusters of trees, but she would still often find herself in some sort of forest, or perhaps the occasional meadow, valley, or lackluster beach. Honestly, where were the volcanoes? The castles? The evil lairs? The bustling cities? The caves? Anything that wasn't a forest? Normally, she wouldn't have been this upset with such an issue; it would've been a minor irritation, but she might've found fun in climbing or target practice. Now, though, with her confusing, underlying mix of emotions from recent events with the soon-not-to-be-Black-Isle, she found herself upset much more easily than before, plagued by the same circling thoughts of worry and guilt and anger and annoyance and boredom that she couldn't properly sort. If it weren't for the specific reason behind it all, she might've just stayed home. But it was the upcoming merge that her new home was planning to go through that stressed her, and staying in that home would only make things worse- at least she could identify that fact. This wasn't much better, though.

Huffing as she jogged through yet another forest, the little feline trekked through patches of snow and grass, not quite caring where she went since everything was still the same old clump of trees over and over again. Her focus was switching between intensely focusing on her environment and drifting back to her thoughts, a struggle between her emotions and her denial of them, the pitter-patter of her paws occasionally speeding up with a short burst of speed whenever she needed to waste some energy. This wasn't helping at all. She just couldn't think of anything else other than the merge no matter how hard she tried to. Honestly, she was just about ready to crash into a tree and hope it wiped her memory of the news. That'd work better than jogging and trying to pretend it didn't exist, right? Still, she swayed back to her little cycle of forcing distractions onto herself, mostly because she was a bit afraid of hitting her head that hard, partially because a part of her mind kept tugging her back to the issue as if she needed to endlessly complain about it and drown in her feelings to feel better. Thankfully, there was a stop to this cycle; upon focusing on her surroundings, she suddenly picked up a scent, one that was entirely unfamiliar to her, prompting her to stop in her tracks and try and figure out where it was coming from. She... didn't know who that was. Friend? Foe? Probably not that interesting. Maybe she'd get some fun or a fight out of whoever it was, though. Setting off quickly, the feline followed the scent as she picked up the general direction it came from, swerving between trees with her ears perking at the quiet rush of water once she neared closer.

She finally found the source of the faint scent, squinting to get a better look at the figure through the thinning bushes as she neared what she thought to be a little river. All she saw at first was a whipping tail, then a form she hadn't seen before, confusion quick to spark up in her mind until she stepped out of the foliage, coming to a stop a distance behind the creature. No... she had seen this form before. That... ... was a dinosaur. That was a dinosaur?! No. No. No. No way. She was hallucinating now, wasn't she? Her expression clearly lifted with surprise, and she could already feel her heart wildly thumping through her chest as her eyes widened and slowly blinked, as if she couldn't believe what she was seeing. Well, she really couldn't believe what she was seeing. It... was a dinosaur! A real dinosaur! A real, living dinosaur! They actually existed! They actually existed? Weren't they supposed to be dead? She'd seen a dragon before quite briefly, but... dinosaurs were different! She'd never seen a dinosaur before! Never! She couldn't even bring herself to speak at first, nothing more than a little squeak coming from the femme as her jaw slacked in the slightest, a smile twitching at the corners of her lips. That... was real! It was actually real! She just... she couldn't believe there was actually a dinosaur right in front of her! This was too good to be true!... right, it was too good to be true. Was this a prank?! No, no, it couldn't be! It had to be real! Who would be wearing a raptor suit out in the middle of nowhere and expect someone to come along?! It was totally real! This was an actual dinosaur with real giant claws and real deadly teeth! It was real!

That little squeak became a squeal of pure, childish excitement, and that smile turned into a wide grin, the young teen barely able to attempt a few stutters at speech for a few long moments. Eventually, though, she managed to sputter out words, not quite taking in the possibility that dinosaurs couldn't speak or understand normal speech. "I- I- Y- Th- O-Ohmygod, you're a real dinosaur!"
