Winter Be Gentle And Kind [Open]
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.

"I have," he affirms with a nod for emphasis. "Though from what I've also heard, its ruins can be found outside the city - that it is, in fact, a past civilization of this world."
Which is why Lan Xichen believes this world to be old. But he raises a brow, watching Shen Yuan with interest now, because it seems like something's been cooking in that head of his. If he had a concept of 'meta knowledge' he would probably think it could be applied here.
Alas, he does not.
"How has Shen-gongzi come to suspect it is only a few years old?"

His grin widens as his excitement grows. "In time that world came to an end, and this world took its place. But the people who had been summoned there, the ones we call Sleepers, were given the choice between returning to their own original worlds or coming to this one. Now," he had to acknowledge, "It's not impossible that they simply slept through the intervening centuries, or traveled through time -- but it is at least equally possible, Lan-gongzi, that they traveled directly from that old version of Deerington to this version of Trench, which had been created with its own, original history, including a version of Deerington that lies in ruins. Do you see? It's just like how, in the second volume of a story, the reader may suddenly be given new information about the protagonist's origins and ancestry that were never even hinted at in the first installment. From the protagonist's perspective, they were always the secret heir to the kingdom or whatever, but from the reader's perspective, that information didn't exist -- until they read it."
