1 Out of 10 Wouldn't Recommend
WHO: Wukong, existing CR
WHAT: Returning from death and processing
WHEN: December 5th
WHERE:The Summer flower yard, but mostly around Blossomcrown
WARNINGS:Lots of grief, relief, and musing on death and relationships.
Flower Yard - Locked to LMK cast
Waking up in the Flower Yard was...well it was weird. Even not being himself at the time, Wukong recalled what happened. The portal, sending MK and Red Son through because they were just children, the portal closing. Looks like they weren't kidding about the fact that if you got stuck you died.
The large colorful hibiscus flower tipped forward, slipping him out of it before he could dwell too much and he brushed himself off before looking around. There wasn't really any reason to stick around in this reverse graveyard, and being dead hadn't entirely settled in his mind yet. But he had the nagging feeling that things were just okay. He should head back to Blossomcrown and make sure things are okay.
Wildcard
((ooc: Feel free to start something around Blossomcrown. Wukong will just be around.))

Re: Days Later
"You know me. I'm as okay as I ever am" Translation: I'm not really dealing with the not okay, and that's normal so why change now? Which was more a symptom of never having the time to be anything but okay enough, but was also something he wasn't really equipped to deal with. "I mean, being dead after literally not being able to die aside, it wasn't the worst way to go, so it's not like it's the most intense thing ever. Honestly everyone else is taking it way worse so I've just been trying to help with that."
Re: Days Later
Which meant he wasn't okay because Red Son has long figured that out.
"But that is why I'm...trying this," he said, gesturing around. "There's the food. There's Shen Hong." Who had come to curl up against Wukong as he sat down. "Blankets. Karaoke can be therapeutic. I have videos we can play from my phone, two monkey cop movies, a Halloween Special of that animated series, Dragon Girl's streams that contain heroics or just having fun, with a lot including Noodle Boy, a disturbing amount of cute animal videos now that I've catalogued them, and about a season of episodes of How It's Made." Guess why he has most of the videos. Thankfully he upgraded his memory storage a decade ago.
"Or you could talk, scream. Whatever. Because it is....difficult, going from feeling nothing could touch you, and being shown that is not the case," he said, playing with the end of his jacket. The Fire wasn't quite the same, but it's close enough to get an idea.
"Nothing said here will leave this room," he promised. "And if I feel the need to fight you, I'll leave before I start. Or I can leave and let you enjoy the snacks and videos and Shen Hong, just drop her off back home, or pick up other things through the night or..." He waves a hand in the air. "I don't know, that was all I could think of for options."
Re: Days Later
"Probably not going to talk about it, but you're okay? That's all I'm really concerned about."
He wasn't about to tell Red Son he should or shouldn't stay, but his nephew had already offered to leave it so he could enjoy before he even got here...but here he was anyway. Hopefully that said enough.
Re: Days Later
"I've done my coping," he said. He took care of MK, made himself useful. He did a lot of thinking on his own, tinkering with appliances and projects. Did his best to not drink a full bar of booze, he really needed to watch that even if alcohol doesn't hurt him like it does mortals.
He's not sure if he'd say he was okay, but okay was not going so hot these days for a lot of reasons, and going into that was a lot of ugly feelings he didn't want to drag out.
"So. Music or videos then?" He asked, pulling out his phone.
