text | un: wei laozu, following the protestors being escorted to jail

[weifinder]

Dear Friends,

I am presently enjailed with a number of the protestors who did not have the luck to get free of the ordered guards. Some here have been injured, and we've done what we can on limited supplies and with limited sympathy, but it wouldn't be a terrible idea to drop some fresh clean bandages in, maybe a few poultices for healing, and also:

I probably need to exit this particular stage after chatting up my cellmates for their thoughts, to the accompaniment of the odd gurgle from the semi-conscious man in the corner. Don't worry, he's actually improving.

Remember, make love! Not violence! Makes for more fertile growing grounds.

( this is help, only not a distressed call for help, from Wei Wuxian, Jailbird. he's so thankful zero dogs are involved in this venture. )

That wouldn't be the worst plan. Really, right now, I have an idea, if you're willing?

... Have we met, by the way, I'm Wei Wuxian, I don't recognise your name on crystal?

[elfuego]

I'm willing. Tell me the plan. Are you the only one in our group in there?

Zuko. I'm new.

[ He's very verbose. ]

[weifinder]

Well met, Zuko! As for the plan, it's simple.

Say you're being sent to retrieve me as I'm needed for a blessing this evening, and there's no other reincarnation of a fertility goddess on hand to take my place.

[elfuego]

Do you think they'll believe that?

[ He's never heard of anyone getting out of prison purely because someone else came up and asked. ]

If that doesn't work I'll come back and get you. Breaking into and out if prisons is something I'm good at.

[weifinder]

Think you can muster up a written invitation like the ones we're all being sent? Even if not, just be firm in your story, and impatient, people know how that looks here!

Though you have me curious, where does prison breaking come into your repertoire of skills, friend Zuko?

[elfuego]

Probably not. Impatient for a fertility blessing sounds believable. I'll wait for your word to move in.

It's come up a couple times.

[weifinder]

Oh, watch the sky; if I'm not let out for this or that reason before dusk, that's great timing.

I can't tell if I should say congratulations on your exciting life or offer my condolences for the familiarity. Still, I can say this isn't the worst dungeon-style-location I've been in!
