Double the Bunny, Double the Fun

Who: WangJi and You! ... with closed action to WuXian
Where: Greenhouse Car, Dining Car, randomly around the train
When: Horseshoe Day 1
What: WangJi has retrieved his new rabbit from the luggage car and wants to introduce it to the train... and find his husband
Warnings: Fluff? Is fluff a warning?

WangJi had finally picked up his request from the luggage car, a small black rabbit that was both a friend for Little Rabbit and a surprise for his husband... since he wanted him to name it since he had gotten to name the last one.

So he was wandering the train with the black rabbit in his arms, standing out brilliantly against his white sleeves. He wanted the rabbit to get used to the sights and sounds of the train, the same way that Little Rabbit was used to them as well.

In the course of his exploration with the rabbit, he made it to the dining car to see what herbs and vegetables were available for a snack and through the library. He avoided the music car because he didn't want to upset the small rabbit with too much noise.

Greenhouse Car
Finally, he decided to take the new rabbit to meet his companion, Little Rabbit. For the moment, he was going to let them get used to each other through the fence of what would be their shared hutch, letting them not see the other rabbit as a threat.

But the black rabbit, of course, wanted to explore the garden car, hopping around and sniffing the plants.

"Careful, little one," WangJi said to the rabbit, kneeling in between where the rabbit was exploring the hutch where Little Rabbit was sitting, watching the new arrival.

Closed to WuXian
Finally, he found his husband. Somehow in a living arrangement that was basically a straight line, it was still hard to find people.

"Wei Ying."

He approached, holding the black rabbit in his arms.

"Hopefully he won't need his own headphones...!"

But Nita could make up for that with a wizardry, if needed.

Some minutes later, once in the carriage, Nita stared at one of the screens, scrolling through the digital library.

"What instruments featured, in the songs you know?"

Nita occasionally had to fight the urge to pet the bunny - mostly because her hands were occupied.

Fortunately 'Qin' (after she prodded the peridexis for the spelling) narrowed the results significantly... though there were still tens of dozens of results.

"Is this something like what you're looking for?" Nita said, selecting a song practically at random and mentally crossing her fingers.

I couldn't resist. |D

Nita smiled.

"Looks like we have a winner, then."

She swiped the screen, looking for a 'related' playlist to see what would come up.

The third result was clicked, and began to play after the first song was concluded.

"And this?"
unfavorableinstigation: Nita looking directly at the viewer, mouth slightly open, as if she's in the middle of an important or unamused expression. (Focused)

"It's translated as 'Unrestrained', though I'm not sure if that's the SCAs at work."

She knew she would have mispronounced it if it weren't for the auto-translate, but she highlighted the relevant characters.

"Where do you know it from?"

Nita's eyebrows go up, and she turns to face him slowly.

And then, smiles.

"Well, I guess that means we can say you were almost a multiversally-famous composer..."

Slightly less funny in that it implied someone stole it somewhere down the line, but if the song were that close it still meant something, right?

[personal profile] unfavorableinstigation 2020-09-09 02:39 am (UTC)(link)
Nita nodded, turning back to the screen.

"... You wrote a song for the two of you. That's- that's really sweet."

Enough to make her smile, less teasingly this time.

"Though, what does it mean for it to be reversed that way?"

Your turn to select tracks! =D

"Stylistic choice, then?"

Nita paged down once more.

"Think you'll recognize any of the rest of these?"

He can look over her shoulder to point them out; she doesn't mind.

Nita let the music fall over her like - well, flowing water!

"I think we've found exactly what we were looking for. Maybe more than," she added, aiming another grin Lan WangJi's way.

"Apparently we can save music to our SCAs. Did you want to do that for these?"

Up to you how straightforwardly this works. XD

"I think the hookup works like this..."

From there, and with a certain amount of help from her internal silent partner, Nita went about finding the plug-ins for the SCAs on the Music Car's ICPs.

"Here. Hold yours up like this."
unfavorableinstigation: It is dark, but Nita is inside reading a book. (Reading Indoors)

/This isn't for you,/ Nita admonished the black bunny gently.

Just as calmly, though not in the exact same tone, she said, "There we go."

The last song they had listened to was the first cued-up to be transferred; so long as that worked, Nita could go back and add the others.

Mmm - heading towards wrap here?

Nita tried not to laugh at the black rabbit's reaction; he really was too cute!

"If we can save these tracks to other devices, and not just those run by the train, then that would be even better."

Not having all their eggs in one basket, so to speak.

"My sister might have something for that; not that I know where she is, but if you see a redhead with grey eyes and a computer at her heels about, it's most likely her."

There were other redheaded firebrands on the train, but none with Nita's eye color!

Nita backed up from the console to give Lan WangJi a thumbs up.

"Anytime, WangJi - Wait, do you prefer your full name, or-?"

[personal profile] unfavorableinstigation 2020-09-14 09:40 pm (UTC)(link)
"Lan WangJi it is, then."

Nita accepted the correction with good grace - and finally relented with herself and offered a hand for the black rabbit to sniff.

Pets would be forthcoming!

/And what about you? Have you any ideas for your name?/

/thumbs-up
