(Welcome to the group! Anyway, it’s ending tomorrow, so Coppy won’t be staying with us much longer, sadly. He’ll forever be missed)
Last year it was top-hats and Tumblr Pro. The year before was the Mishapocalypse. This year, it’s Coppy. Ah, Coppy.
I did the thing. I wanted to meet this mysterious Coppy.
Because I typed. Oops. Sorry Rose.
How long had it been since she last saw the sky? She couldn’t remember in the cramped little room she was in. A Prisoner. That’s what she had been for the past month. The bindings were tight, and she couldn’t squirm her way out of this one, no matter how hard she tried. It was bad enough that she could no longer hear anything. Still, she wondered what was going to happen in the coming days... though she didn’t have to imagine. The door opened and a man dressed in yellow came over and grabbed her arm. Of course she protested, and tried to get away, but the previous days of no food had left her weak, and easily pliable.
She was dragged out, and a new set of ropes were tied around her, keeping her stationary where she was. She knew what this was, and as soon as she saw the man with the blade, she knew what was decided for her fate to be. She had regrets... many of them, but none of it seemed to matter anymore as she still tried to struggle against the bindings, screaming out against the captors, though it wall was futile. A hand came down across her cheek hard, and a piece of cloth shoved into her mouth and tied behind her. There was nothing she could do now... She didn’t want to see the blade being raised, the blade that was going to be used to kill her. Swiftly, her eyes slammed shut in preparation for what she believed was going to happen... yet what happened next was beyond her.
There was no pain, no movement touching her for a while, though one soon happened. Just something warm, and wet, as it dripped down her cheek, though it was too thick to be rain. She finally opened her eyes, and saw the familiar blue she had always seen and chased after in her childhood-
-Only now stained in red.
There was a blade in his back, and she finally realised what had happened.
Please let this be a dream-!
Only it wasn’t. That much was enough as tears started welling up in her eyes. She wanted to call out to him, wanted to tell him to stop, and get out, yet she couldn’t do what she wanted. She was just helpless, and could only watch.
Everything after was a blur of blue, red, yellow, and silver, as blades clashed. She tried to struggle against the binds again, and she was pretty sure she was screaming out that person’s name into the cloth, the one fighting so desperately against fate. Every last man had fallen, and she watched the figure drenched in blood start stumbling towards her. A cold hand came up to rest against her cheek for but a moment until it undid the gag, and said something to which she couldn’t hear. She felt the binds being cut, and the second she was free, she latched onto the figure in front of her, for all but a moment, before she pulled away and immediately took to looking at the wound.
“P-Please... don’t go to sleep, Pi! W-we’ll get to a doctor! You’ll see! Whatever you do, stay awake, okay?”
It was rather shameful to have him admit anything to that light accusation, but she was an ally and a friend. He soon confessed, “…it seems there is a dastardly plot in the midst.”
From his words, she instantly became serious, and didn’t say a word as she processed what that meant. This was not good. “I knew it...” The words were murmured and just about lost to the wind, before she looked up at the other. “Here isn’t the place to speak. Come. This way.”

( ow dearie i can’t see your gif )
Tumblr! Stop being stupid! Okay, let’s try this one:
Either this:
Where Pi does not want attention, and Mei bugs him anyway…
This:
Where Mei’s sick, and Pi knows she has a high chance of dying…
This:
With the Cat being Cao Pi, and the cut-off kid being Mei. and Mei’s being a little shit.
Or this:
When they’re at each other’s throats like normal siblings do at times.
But when it all comes down to it, if one of them were threatened, there would have to be some of this:
Else someone would get killed.
“I have been well,” he answered like he had practiced numerous times. “Things have been… quiet for the most part but that is good.”
She knew that practiced answer, and knew what it meant, especially since she had done the same many times over. “Please don’t lie, Lord Xu Shu... if you’re actually unwell and say you’re well, people will only worry more.” She murmured, but just left it at that. “Quiet can be nice, though this one seems to be from unease instead of peace... I’m worried about it being as quiet as it is.”
❀| — “By the sound of it my Lady. It sounds as though you are running away of sorts. “ was it okay to escort this young maiden to Xuchang? If anything were to happen to her along the way…——- the Songstress did not wish to think of such an thing. The journey to Xuchang would take the whole night, if she were to go, her Husband would be worried. She brought a hand up to her head gently rubbing her temple— until she got an idea.
“If you would give me some time to inform my husband of my whereabouts, I will be sure to escort you safety to your destination.— Forgive me, but I would not be able to sleep at night if I allowed you to go on alone, especially on foot..” she bowed her head once. “If your Father were to find out…” Diaochan had no idea who this woman’s father was, or just the woman’s name at that. But what she did know was that this lovely maiden was of Wei. “—- I did not introduce myself. My name is Diaochan.” she gave the other woman a tender smile. “You are..?”
“Running away? Why would I do that? No, it’s not running away, it’s more hiding something. That much I can say without fault.” Really, she was fully expecting to go on her own, yet that wasn’t much of an issue at all. She had made it this far out on her own, so why shouldn’t the journey back be the same? She could hold her own, thanks to Ruolan teaching her... but... there was still that slight bit of fear due to the difference between day and night, and who was out on the roads.
“Eh? Your husband? I- I guess that’s okay... I mean I’ll wait here, and I should be okay.” Yes, she had a small blade that she kept on her just to have it in case of emergency, but at the same time, she felt relieved that she may not have to use it. Though the notion of the other’s name was something she wasn’t expecting. “Diaochan...? That’s a pretty name, though you shouldn’t worry about my father, really. He’s in Xuchang, so I’m returning to him.” She explained, and completely avoided the topic of giving her name for the time being... until she could think of an alias that wasn’t as dangerous as her actual name this far away from home. “Ah... sorry. My family name is Li... so Lady Li is okay. I’m not supposed to give out my given name, sorry.”
“Shut your mouth or you’ll never see the light of day again.” “If they’d hurry up with the ransom, I wouldn’t have to keep you as long.” “Stop squirming.” “Scream to your heart’s content, Princess. No one can hear us out here.” “Not sure I’m ready to let you go just yet. It’s too much fun watching you suffer.” “I’m sorry, what was that? It’s hard to hear you with that thing in your mouth.” “Shh, keep quiet for just a little longer. We’re almost there.” “Aww, you’re actually trying to run away with tied hands and feet. That’s so cute.” “That should keep you nice and quiet.” “It’s a shame that no one cares enough to come to the rescue.” “Has anyone ever told you that you’re the perfect hostage? It’s incredible.” “Being tied to a chair suits you.” “Don’t scream. Everyone will hear.” “Sorry I had to snatch you. Didn’t exactly have a choice in the matter. Comfortable enough?” “Where the hell do you think you’re going?” “Mommy and Daddy can’t save you from me, sweetheart. We’re all alone in here.” ”If I take my hand away, are you going to scream again?” “There, nice and tight. No way to get out of that.” “Try and bite me again. One more time. Come on…” “Okay, I’m going to take out the gag and you’re going to tell me what I want to know. Scream and it goes back in with more stuffing. Understand?” “I’m not going to hurt you. Just cooperate.” “Guess snooping really doesn’t do any good, huh?” “Stop struggling!” “Give up already. The ties aren’t going to loosen.” “No way the blindfold’s coming off.” “Do you prefer zip ties or electrical tape? No reason not to be a gentleman about a kidnapping.” “Sh, sh, sh, stop kicking.” “Ankles together. I’m not going to tell you again.” “Talk or I’ll make you.” “Do you want to die?” “Mmph isn’t a word, darling. You’re going to have to speak more clearly.” “Get in the car or I’ll shoot.” “Scared? That’s good. You should be.” “Stop crying. It’s pathetic.” “Like knives?”
❝… Get out.❞
“Okay... Sorry for bothering you.”
