[xiaoxiuya]

Who: Shen Yuan's CR group, as well as anyone else who'd like to join in <3
What: Open CR, meeting with people to discuss the Trench almanac, FURNITURE SHOPPING 8D The regularly-scheduled Shen Yuan had just moved into a new apartment in Gaze when Decembered ended, and just because the alternate version will only be living in Trench for the month doesn't mean he's going to sleep on the floor. What is he, a college student? Get out of here.
When: Throughout January and into February
Where: Shen Yuan's new apartment and the Archives in Gaze, furniture and antique stores in the Wilful Machine, more locations TBD

Content Warnings: Oblique references to kidnapping, harem politics, casual violence and romance between a kidnapping victim and their captor. This Shen Yuan comes from an fanfic-inspired AU where he was kidnapped and wooed by a Luo Binghe who had already become emperor, and while he considers himself a fully-consenting partner in their relationship others' mileage may vary. Please contact me privately if you'd like more details or have requests about topics you'd like to avoid while we thread together.

Feral... Consort-gege really makes children sound like a bad idea. Not that that's going to be a problem for me, but now I'll have to look out for any nieces and nephews who get into trickery. And frogs!

[xiaoxiuya]

Raising children can be extremely rewarding for those who go into it with their eyes open! But it's absolutely not something to take lightly or go into prematurely. Honestly I don't have any children of my own yet, and it'll probably be some time before I do. [Gonna just...let the nursery empty itself out first. Let the potential bad influences age out and leave to go live their own lives, hopefully on another continent.]

Does Huaisang have many nieces and nephews?

Also, stop me if this bores you, but do you think the other Shen Yuan would benefit most from a single-wide bedframe, or a double?

[fanfavors]

Hmm, I suppose all of that is true? I really don't know anything about children! Good luck! And I only had the one brother, so no.

[ANYway......]

Consort-gege, be reasonable. I already told you Shen-ge isn't an ascetic! A double, of course!

[xiaoxiuya]

[Oh yeah, Shen Yuan mentioned a brother. There's a lot of baggage there, apparently? Consort Shen kind of regrets bringing it up now, but apologizing would just call more attention to his blunder so let's just...move on! Yes, dragging the other Shen Yuan seems like much more fun to talk about >:D]

Now now, there are many reasons why one might live a celibate life, A-Sang! We really shouldn't judge.

...Much. ;)

Well, that's Shen-ge's business, he can have it. But a double sized bed is just more comfortable. At the Red they call this one "king size"? It's so much!

[xiaoxiuya]

Is A-Sang enjoying himself? If he ever wants an even larger bed he should keep an eye out for the words 'California king,' although I really don't know if they exist in this world.

The Red is where they're holding that big party, right? I've seen a few of the flyers...It looks exciting! Is A-Sang going?

[fanfavors]

I don't think I'm allowed to change the furniture, I don't own this room!

And of course! Is Consort-gege coming? This one will point out the best drinks.
