Independent Yu Jin from Dynasty Warriors. Low activity. Written by Pine

[severemarquis]

Hello

Hope everyone is doing well. Sorry my activity sputtered and then died.

The short of it is, I got diagnosed with ASD late last year and that spurred a quest to Get My Life Together. Unfortunately rp ended up being something I had to give up as it just wasn’t working, and I was also having a pretty intense year with my uni subjects. So sorry I haven’t been good at keeping in touch. As soon as I get even moderately busy / stressed my social life is the first thing to go. guess I know why now

I won’t be active for the rest of this year as I somehow got into a language course in China which is a little terrifying but I might be able to pick rp up again next year, we’ll see. I finally got WO4 and it’s fabulous and I miss Yu Jin and all my tumblr friends goshdangit.

 it   would   be   necessary   to   maintain   their   strategy   of   STEALTH   ,   as   all   of   their   other   options   were   increasingly   limited   —   solely   two   against   an   entire   army   inevitably   spelled   defeat   ,   &&   she’s   fairly   confident   that   neither   of   them   will   ever   see   the   light   of   day   again   if   they   were   detained   once   more.   which   is   why   she’s   purposely   lowering   the   tone   of   her   voice   in   response   to   his   question   ,   subtly   paranoid   that   they   might   be   OVERHEARD.   in   the   circumstances   that   they’re   both   currently   in   however   ,   such   a   concern   isn’t   irrational.   ❛   i   think   so   ,   if   i   just   take   it   slow.   hopefully   none   of   them   will   come   over   here.   ❜   at   least   that’s   the   optimistic   perspective   that   she’s   driving   into   herself   ,   to   lessen   the   chance   of   becoming   distracted   —   another   obstacle   to   overcome   in   their   daring   escape.   there’s   a   deep   intake   of   breath   before   she   exhales   slowly   ,   her   next   sentence   being   a   SUBTLE   plea   rather   than   a   command.   ❪   i   can’t   go   back   in   there   ,  people   are   relying   on   me.   ❫   ❛   watch   my   back   ,   alright   ?   i’ll   go   as   quickly   as   i   can.   ❜

     Yu Jin gives a curt nod. “Keep your wits about you,” he entreats her, though the words bear the force that could never quite leave his tone.      He knew the limits of his abilities, and this was a task best left in Claire’s hands. If she were spotted, he was in no position to realistically provide much backup, unarmed as he was. But such things were better left unsaid, even he understood that. If things did indeed take a turn for the worse, he would aid her by any means possible. For now, he would simply have to maintain position out of sight and watch.

     “Gracious as ever, General Yu Jin. My Lord sympathizes with your circumstances and hopes to improve your stay. That, and more.”

     At the time, he had shared these words in habitual kindness, though the current reality differed. Amidst beating drums and high spirits, Sun Quan danced along in his drunken stupor. Though a docked vessel served as the venue, the sight mirrored their previous encounter: distanced from the crowd and gaze focused toward the distance.

     “Our flutists and harpists are set to perform soon, allowing peace from this boisterous crowd,” Xun approached, sensing this scene was more of a nuisance than mere noise.

Blessedly forgotten at the edge of the boat by all but Lu Xun, Yu Jin watches the celebrations from a distance. The boat had been attached to the dock as Wu had experience in doing and the celebrations went on undisturbed by the atypical venue. It is when the promised musicians appear that a sense of wrongness hits him - or something akin to it when the women are strangers and not Lady Zhen and Cai Yan. The music mingling with the black waters at the edge of the boat bringing thoughts of that night before Chibi, and Master Cao Cao’s voice--

Here before us, wine and song! For man does not live long. Like daybreak dew, his days are swiftly gone. sanguine-souled we have to be Though painful memory haunts us yet--

Yu Jin cannot quite place the feeling in his chest but it is unwanted. Not now. He lowers his head, aware he had been staring. Trying to control his expression and despising himself as cracks begin to show. He was far from Wei, Master Cao Cao was gone, and with him likely branded a traitor he would not be able to return. He had accepted that. So was his destiny and yet he carried on like this--

[severemarquis]

Hi I’m still alive Sorry for the long absence, I’ve been prioritising getting my life in order and it’s been doing me good. I miss Yu Jin and all my tumblr friends though so I’m going to try and slowly get back into rp, starting with a few old plotted threads I’ve long promised replies to.

    Yu Jin is silent for a moment, scanning the yard for any potential. In the interest of reusing the crates and deterring would-be thieves, the supplies in frontier bases were often unlabelled, instead organised and distributed under a system overseen by the supply captains. In this jumble he had no idea where a grappling hook would be, or even if there was one to be found, but failure was not an option and he had to filter such uncertainty from his words.

    “It is standard equipment.” Drawing back, his eye catches a number of opened crates by the wall, but he cannot see their contents. It would be a place to start, if not a clue why there were so few demons here.

    “Will you be able to get to those crates?”

ROMANTIC HEADCANONS

TAGGED BY:  @boldxvirtue [thank you!] TAGGING:  anyone who would like to do it

NAME: Yu Jin. NICKNAME: Any nicknames he may have are proobably kept secret from him. GENDER: male. ROMANTIC ORIENTATION: panromantic. SEXUAL ORIENTATION: [sex neutral] asexual. RELATIONSHIP STATUS: verse dependent, normally single but I’m shipping with a couple of people. Divorced in one verse.

OPINION ON TRUE LOVE: He doesn’t think it’s a thing - or he doesn’t get it at least, but he thinks his partner is irreplaceable s o.  OPINION ON LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT: He doesn’t get it, but he thinks it’s dangerous to pursue someone you don’t know. He’ll stand back until he has a firm grasp on someone’s personality before even considering a relationship with them. HOW ‘ ROMANTIC ’ ARE THEY?: Depends on what you think is romantic. He’s not one for grand gestures or words but he’s absolutely dedicated to his partner and shows it in his own way. IDEAL PHYSICAL TRAITS: He’s not too picky. A neat appearance that indicates health and self-respect. IDEAL PERSONALITY TRAITS: Integrity, self-discipline, respect, stoicism, warm-heartedness. UNATTRACTIVE PHYSICAL TRAITS: obesity (past a point), an ill-kept appearance, or an incredibly petite frame in men. UNATTRACTIVE PERSONALITY TRAITS: ‘drama queens’, neediness, inconsistency or unreliability, disrespect, greed. IDEAL DATE: Just spending a free moment together. DO THEY HAVE A TYPE?: Anyone who can balance him out a little and whom he can relax around. Warm people - he’s a little affection starved. On the other hand, he appreciates security - tease him in front of people too much or start drama for the fun of it and he’ll drop you like a rock.  AVERAGE RELATIONSHIP LENGTH: They’re few and far between, but fairly long-lived unless the other party breaks up with him. He doesn’t get into relationships until he’s absolutely certain about the other person. COMMITMENT LEVEL: He takes it very seriously on his end, but if his partner believes they’d be better off without him, he understands and will let them go with no drama. He’ll still be miserable about it privately though. OPINION OF PUBLIC AFFECTION: He doesn’t like it at all, it’s unprofessional and he’s got a bit of an image to maintain. He won’t even hold hands in public. PAST RELATIONSHIPS?: N/A FAVORITE CANON SHIP: N/A FAVORITE NON-CANON SHIP: coughs @crimsontigerlord​ and @wxiren​

Inactivity is continuing for a bit sorry, but I haven’t forgotten all the things I owe (I hope).

     Respected and feared, hm? Not unlike infamous warlords of her past - the mere mention of their names sent ripples of hushed voices among the villagers. They maintained their reputations through her lifetime, leaving her to ponder if this man would bear a similar fate.

     “I am but a woman who has lived her past life. Bestowed with the task of guiding the lost toward the light, or wherever their spirit seeks rest, I now appear before you.”

     “Yet, how strange of a meeting this is. Your physical form remains, but some part of you beckons my presence.”

     There is a moment where he does not reply, but the frown that scarred his features remains. Had he not seen the petals, or felt the strange atmosphere of the place, or known where fate had lead him - what he had to do next - perhaps he would have been more critical. 

    “Is that so.” He is wary. Always. And her possible meaning does not escape him. He is not as concerned with ghosts as some - but somehow he knows he stands before one. Of all those who could haunt him - a stranger?

    “What do you mean?”

there’s   already   the   taste   of   FREEDOM   for   them   both   ,   a   sliver   of   sunlight   kissing   her   skin  with  warmth   as   she   remains   close   behind   him.   of   course   ,   there   was   always   the   possibility   of   a  guard   appearing   from   nowhere   ,   rendering   their   escape   attempt   for   naught   as   they’d   almost  inevitably   be   dragged   off   once   again   ,   but   she’s   trying   not   to   occupy   her   mind   with   such  NEGATIVE   thoughts   —   dwelling   on   them   would   almost   certainly   cause   trouble   later   on   down   the   line.   ❛   alright   ,  let’s   just   hope   that   it   stays   that   way.   ❜   she   may   or   may   not   be   subconsciously   holding   her   breath   ,  steps   entirely   cautious   in   anticipation   of   a   sneak   attack   from  the   enemy   —  ❪   don’t   be   stupid   claire   ,   you’re   both    going   to   be   fine.   just   think   ,   this   place   is  going   to   be  far   behind   you   soon   enough.   hopefully.   ❫   ❛   any   idea   where   these   battlements   are   ?  ❜

     She didn’t know where the battlements were. He remembers once more they were from different worlds and gives a hasty explanation.

    “They are the top of the walls.” His words come out as a warning growl - there was no telling where the enemy was. They would have to remain on high alert and quiet unless absolutely necessary or absolutely certain. Creeping to the corner of the building, he listens. Not daring to breathe but looking first to what he can see of the courtyard, then to the battlements, then back. There were a handful of them idling in the courtyard among the tents and hastily-stacked crates that had been moved to accommodate their prisoners. And there, on the far end of the adjacent wall, a patched-in hole in the masonry made by Wu themselves and next to it, a ladder.

    “I know where we are, but I have not been here in years.” They were in a fortified supply depot just south of Hefei. They could escape west to Wan, north to Hefei or Shouchun, or south to Wu territory via boat if the port weren’t taken. He quickly notes their orientation, but that decision would be made for them when they had gotten over the wall. “We will need to search for a grappling hook among those crates.”

Just a heads-up that activity here and on skype will be low to nonexistent for the rest of this week and the next

Yu Jin should go to a hot spring, Yoshitsugu thought more. Though nothing about the spring’s skin benefits had been replied to, Yoshitsugu let it go. He didn’t want to push the other man into a more light hearted conversation if he had no interest in having one.

 “Hm.” He considered, the noise soft. “I don’t know if it would do damage to what was originally there, but it might be less than if there were access to one. Then again, it could be an accumulation that depends on individuality— so, the character of your soldiers would come into play.”

A momentary flicker to his eyes, “You’d know your soldiers better than anyone else, so.”

     Yoshitsugu’s attempt to steer the conversation into more lighthearted topics had, of course, gone almost completely over Yu Jin’s head. However, he did realise he was being characteristically sour. He nods, but is silent for a moment, arms crossed and deep in thought. “It is our call to make as we see fit - your men are clearly fond of you.”

    “If we are to be fighting together, perhaps some time for our troops to... ‘get used to each other’ in casual circumstances would be well spent,” he concedes, mouth twisting once more into a grimace. Perhaps it was Yoshitsugu’s friendliness thus far making him soft, but he supposes there would be ways to manage it without jeopardising order, and his men would appreciate the downtime...

    “If the opportunity arises after a battle.” He doubted it would.

     With concern, he looked at Yu Jin’s expression and didn’t take too long to sense that something wasn’t alright. So he decided not to interrupt the warrior any further and allow him to speak his mind. Once the male was finished explaining himself, Sun Quan could only feel a pang of guilt hitting him right there and then. This was something he didn’t wish to happen, but it finally seemed to have occured regardless of how discreet he was.

     “This is my fault,” he said looking away for a moment before his gaze returned back to the other. “I was careless, forgive me. I didn’t want you to become involved in this. However, it’s not the end yet. I can fix it.”

     Yu Jin thought himself to blame for becoming at all emotionally involved. He thought he had been on guard against such things, but he was a starved, weak man, unable to refuse scraps of affection where they were offered for long. And that is how he had gotten in this mess - and why the reply causes a sting - an uncomfortable tightness in Yu Jin’s chest. Conflicted guilt. He knew how to fix this - he knew several permanent, effective ways, but he knew Sun Quan would agree to none of them. The man was too emotional - too him. And, it seemed, as deep in this as Yu Jin was.

    “No. The fault lies with me. I have acted unprofessionally - and inappropriately. Whatever action you need to take, you have my support,” he says, taking a step toward the man. “But I urge you to consider cutting ties with me.”

[severemarquis]

"You aren't having a fun time, handsome. Listen up, you are too handsome to frown."

     The frown does not budge. “Whether I am having fun or not… should not be any of your concern. I will be leaving in a moment. Go and enjoy the evening.”
