jikan_rpg | Curse/Kizuna Catch-All for September

⌛ Who: Runyu and anyone he encounters
⌛ What: For about a week he'll be cursed (close CR) and then he'll experience his first full Kizuna transformation...
⌛ When: Mid-September
⌛ Where: Various locations
⌛ Warnings: Childhood trauma will be mentioned as part of the dragon transformation. May include implications of child abuse/neglect.

A. Cursed (Closed to Close CR only)

The tea set he'd been given was an odd one. Still, he was willing to give it the benefit of the doubt, even with knowing the curses this place had on offer. It was one chipped cup and something about that drew him in. One chipped up in a set... No, he shouldn't apply personal experiences to something as simplistic as a teacup.

Still, he prepared tea in the set and set the chipped up before his own place. The other cups were for anyone who wished to join him.

Of course he was noticing that the more tea he sipped the more bitter it became. And dry? Confused, he frowned and looked into the tea in the pot curiously. Which was likely how someone would come across him if they were at the Four Seasons Manor.

B. Transformation (Open to all)

Of the three of them living in his rooms, he was the one who hadn't yet experienced a full transformation. Probably for the best given what his transformations had been so far. However, today was about to change that fact. Because today he felt the pain in his body as he changed and quickly rushed outside. The large and unexpected dragon form meant that some things were broken on his way out of Four Seasons, rushing into the sky to go into the forests.

There he moved into a pool of water, his scales glistening. He didn't want to be seen. It wasn't the pain that caused it though. Instead it was the idea that someone could see this body of his. His true body. Only a few had been allowed to see it and now here it was on display without him having control of the fact.

Anyone coming across the water in the forest would likely see the large silvery dragon shy away from them. Between pain and panic, he was stressed. In need of reassurance honestly. But he certainly didn't know how to ask for it...

"Then the cure could be a good or helpful thing." Which doesn't really narrow it down.

Zishu reaches out to brush a hand over his friend's hair, just an offer to sooth him. And because he likes touching those he holds dear.

"If I can figure out the cure I think that I'll still keep the set. Perhaps just on display." He just adored that chipped up so much. He truly didn't want to part with it even if it turned out it was cursed.

Feeling the hand, he lifted his head and offered him a soft smile. "I'm alright. I was just very confused. Likely more so now that I have to figure out the cure."

He chuckles fondly at his friend. "It is rather cute," he agrees. He'll just mention to his husband not to toss the chipped cup if Runyu displays it in main rooms.

"You'll figure it out. If I can help, I'd be happy to."

"Well if you have any ideas I'd be interested in hearing them at least."

Likely they'd find some sort of solution together. And luckily Zishu had been here longer than himself. A year was a good bit of time but it wasn't enough to learn everything when he'd spent a number of months in almost complete isolation.

Zishu hasn't learned everything either - between all the time he'd been ordered to bed rest to heal from one thing or another. But he's learned a fair bit.

"One of the nicer thoughts has to do with this place's interest in intimacy." Which is rather extreme, in his opinion. "On the milder side, perhaps just a kiss would break it, in which case I'd be happy to test that out with you," he allows himself a grin at his friend. "It might require more than that, which I would suggest you seek your beloveds for that."

Pulling himself back to the more serious thoughts. "On the less kind, perhaps you would have to drink, as I did. Or let it run its course, as Lao Wen had to." Which had been...difficult on his poor husband.

Runyu laughed softly. Zishu and Kexing truly could have the same sense of humor at times. It was cute though. He genuinely loved it a great deal. Especially since they never pushed it too far unlike a certain brother of his.

If that brother even still considered him such...

"I have a feeling my loves would prefer I keep more intimate things between them as well." But kissing... That did sound like the nature of this place. "Nippon is truly intrigued by intimacy though don't you think?"

He grins at that laugh.

"Lao Wen would agree." To put to rest any worries of jealousy on Zishu's part. As much as he enjoys making his soulmate jealous...There is a line that should not be crossed.

He chuckles, gaze lowering at that question. "To a rather ridiculous degree."

"My friendship with both of you is too dear to do anything that could hurt either of you." They were two of the people who had saved him early in his time here. He would always be grateful to them and had no intention of bringing them harm. Physical or emotional.

Runyu shook his head a little. "Typically the nature of this place is rather liberating. At times like this it's mildly inconvenient though."

Zishu smiles softly. "We know. We're glad you still want to live here, and have brought your loves here too." He and his husband might only be human, and currently mortal, but they will still do everything in their power to provide a safe, comfortable home for those under their roof.

"It can be both," he agrees wryly.

"This is honestly home to me now. It made sense to bring them to live here too." They would have to take care of the matter of the curse soon but it was only mildly bothersome. For that reason he let himself focus on their conversation for a little bit.

"Have you met them yet?"

He beams at that, delighting in it. It's important to him to know those under his roof are content. To hear another call the Four Seasons Manor 'home' just makes it better. And he's content to let Runyu set the pace, decide when he's done with the curse and willing to try a possible cure for it.

"I have perhaps spoken with one over the network a time or two, and seen him in passing. Your general has been of great help in getting the stables set up. I hope to have a friend or two for his horse soon, and I believe there are some birds that are about ready to find a new nest that A-Chen spoke to me about."

He laughed softly at that. It was always good to see Ouyang especially making friends. Of the three of them he was truly the least social. Knowing he was getting out there delighted Runyu to no end.

"He has been so happy to have his horse again and to have the stables. I really must thank you for helping him to have them. He comes to life when he's able to go out to hunt and bring something home to cook for us."
