“Okay, why don’t you tell me what is going on and I will try my best to help you.” Matt told him, keeping his cane close to him just in case he has to move around and he didn’t want to bump into anything or end up making the other panic more. “What do you mean by the Earth won’t leave you alone?”

“what do you mean what’s going on-- it’s it obvio---” he stopped when he realized. “oh--- i’m so sorry.” he spoke with a trembling voice. he didn’t move off the ground and it seemed to shake with his hands. the pillars grew larger and a groan came from him. “the earth.... it surrounds me in pillars or covers in front of me like a shield... i don’t know what’s going on.”

“ show me how you did it. “ (pippin to stede) @mvsicinthedvrk​

.

stede sat there, his hands trembling as he remembered the whole ordeal. “i-i don’t know how....” he swallowed thickly. “honestly, i’d rather not go through whatever is happening to me.” it was like once of his books that he had read once. but he’d never imagined it would happen to him.

weol-ju didn’t like to shop alone. she was used to guibanjang by her side or the friendly face of kang-bae as she walked by the customer service. she missed them--- greatly. she cursed the heavens for going against her will and reincarnating her. turning the corner, she ran into someone with her cart before gasping. “hey! watch it!” temper weol-ju. she had to remind herself. people with unusual powers could be around any corner at the moment. a heavy sigh left her. “sorry.”

“you look like something is worrying you.” she mused as she leaned against the counter of the bar. “what can i get you?” she slowly pushed a menu to her. her bar wasn’t that large. if it was up to her, she’d have her tent but that thing wasn’t common here in the states. so a little shack made up for it. “i can cook you up something. what is your preference?” she was best at korean food but she’s been practicing other things. and with how things were outside and with the various people in the city, she decided to be there when they needed her.

Was that [SEO YEJI]? Oh no no, that was just [WEOL-JU], a [CANON CHARACTER] from [MYSTIC POP UP BAR]. They are [FIVE HUNDRED AND SIXTEEN] years old and [ARE] aware that they are not actually from Washington DC. Too bad they can’t stray from this city for long.

history:

weol-ju was the daughter of the shaman of her village. she had the ability to enter people’s dreams and comfort their souls since she was a kid. but people looked down on them because of their low born rank. 

when she was sixteen, she was summoned to the royal palace to help the sickly crown prince. she comforted the vengeful spirits haunting the prince due to the royal family’s sins. and as soon as the prince awakened, he wanted to see her again. yet she was forbidden to have a conversation with him. but the too quickly ended up in a relationship together.

when found out, the queen was not happy and forbid weol-ju to see the crown prince. but the prince was determined and came to weol-ju’s home every night to see her. it went on for months. they were happy and in love.

but one night, her mother demanded her to put on her shaman clothing and leave town, giving her her sacred hair pin as protection. weol-ju began to do what she was told, dressing in her mother’s white shaman clothes, she began to leave town. but something inside her told her to go back... and when she did, she found her shabby hut burning and her mother killed by a sword inside. her mother was dressed in her clothing. devastated by losing one of the two people she truly loved, and going for help and being turned away because of her lowly status. weol-ju went to the sacred tree of her village. she cursed everyone before hanging herself on the tree, bringing it bad luck.  

for the sin of bringing the sacred tree bad luck and causing 100,000 people to die from invaders because of the tree’s bad luck, weol-ju was sentenced to comfort the grudges of 100,000 people or be thrown into hell. but killing herself wasn’t her only sin. so the heaven’s gave her heavenly water and a mystic bar to help find people and ease their grudges.

SPOILERS

what kept her going was the soul of the baby that was inside of her unknowingly  when she killed herself. the tree’s spirit went insider her son and due to the bad luck; he was reincarnated over and over again with a miserable life. until she comfort’s the 100,000 people, her son will never know a peaceful and happy life. 

she’s taken after the end of the series when her and the crown prince return to the living realm to be with kang-bae and all of his reincarnations.

HE WAS RUNNING around in a panic. he was about to pass out from hyperventilating. “help me. someone...” he called out weakly. was that tears streaming down his cheeks? yes. yes it was. when he fell to the ground, the earth around him turned into a pillars, protecting him. it just made him panic more. “the earth won’t leave me alone!”

The other’s confirmation instantly dissipates Lucius’s minor concern that maybe he’d gotten the wrong man. “How many Stede Bonnets do you think there are?” he demands, even though he can hear the annoyance in the other’s voice. “It’s not exactly a common name, is it.” Though just like Blackbeard refusing to acknowledge his past, Stede seems remarkably confident that he’s neither from England nor that he’s a pirate. And like Blackbeard claimed he’d been here for two years, Stede says he’s been here for one? Lucius would swear on everything that he’d just saw them both weeks ago. Weeks! “What is happening!” he says in frustration, nearly pulling out his own hair. 

THE GUY was freaking him out. stede slowly backed away but before he could get away far enough, his conscious kicked in. “d-do you need me to call someone for you? a parent? sibling? the hospital?” was that a little insensitive? maybe. but he was just freaking out over here.

“Ah, yeah, that’s Blackbeard’s I’m pretty sure. Always seemed like a weird detail. But to each their own I guess.” He shrugged with a small laugh. “Makes you more interesting than most.” A risky move but this whole thing was risky. And that’s the philosophy he was using when he answered his invitation. “I’d love to.” 

HE WAS over the moon when edward agreed to the invitation. yet his palms were sweaty and shaking. this was happening? finally? after almost a year of longing looks and subtle flirting back and forth. “amazing!” he was smiling from ear to ear. “when did you want to go? they have two showings. one in the morning and one in the evening.”

Xiao Xingchen walked into the library.  At least it was quiet like a library and the smell of books is hard to miss.  The quiet is definitely nice; he wishes he can read them but he’s sure he’ll find something in an audiobook.  Going to the front desk.  He cleared his throat softly.  “Excuse me ?  Do you happen to have an option for audiobooks here ?”

STEDE DIDN’T really care much for audiobooks. why listen when you can relax on a sunny day outside with a good book. forget all your worries and fall into the words and pages? then again, stede forgot that many didn’t like to read. what was with the youth these days? a nod of his head was given. “we do. we hold those in the back. is there anything you are looking for in particular?”

mentor/mentee vibes (because ur worth it–)

aka i really love the energy of this dynamic, but unfortunately this whole effort turned into me typing down actual dialogue that happened in my car while my poor father tried to teach me how to drive. but they make for fun threads! bon appetit!

from the mentor.

“ you’re doing it wrong. ”

“ would you like me to show you how to do it? ”

“ that… that’s not how you do it. ”

“ maybe this mentoring stuff requires patience that i don’t have. ”

“ keep doing it like that, and you’ll end up hurting yourself. ”

“ correct me if i’m wrong, but that’s not how i showed you to do it, is it? ”

“ okay, alright, look at me. you looking? do it exactly like i’m doing it. ”

“ move your feet, come on, you’ve got to move if you don’t want to end up flat on your ass again! ”

“ look… it’s progress, yeah? you’re better than you were before. ”

“ don’t beat yourself up; it’s a tricky move, nobody gets it right the first time. ”

“ okay, let’s… let’s try a different tactic. ”

“ you’re overthinking it. don’t think; just be in the moment. ”

“ stop, stop… alright. looking back on what you’ve just done, what do you think i’m going to say? ”

“ there’s definitely plenty of room for improvement. ”

“ ah… god, okay, don’t cry… it’s not as bad as it looks, you’re really not as bad at this as you think! ”

“ we’ll get there together. ”

“ okay. time for a break, yeah? let’s stop for now, catch a breath, we can come back to it later. ”

“ you obviously don’t enjoy any of this; why do you want me to teach you so badly? ”

“ i could teach you, if you’d like? ”

“ come on, like i showed you, remember? ”

“ feet apart, hands up; anticipate your opponent’s movements! ”

“ alright… don’t think about getting hit. this isn’t a fight. it’s a dance. you move in response and in anticipation of your opponent. ”

“ who the hell taught you to do that?! ”

“ that wasn’t terrible! you didn’t butcher it this time! ”

“ wake up. wake up, come on, up and at ‘em. you said you wanted to learn, so come on. up you get! ”

“ that was good! hell, that was brilliant! you knocked me off my feet! good job! ”

“ you need to stop worrying about hurting me. you gonna apologize and pay the hospital bills of whatever bad guy you go against next time? ”

“ i’m proud of you. ”

“ you’re doing great! “

from the mentee

“ can you teach me how to do that? “

“ i did it! “

“ okay, there’s no need to be dramatic, i wasn’t that bad! “

“ i AM trying. “

“ oh god, oh, i’m so sorry! did i hurt you? “

“ i need your help with this. okay? i can’t do this alone. “

“ you’re the expert, right? “

“ i’ve seen you fight; i wanna be as good as you! “

“ people’s lives are at stake if i lose. their blood’s gonna be on my hands, and it’ll be on yours, too, if you don’t help me. “

“ quit yelling at me, i’m trying my best! “

“ i’m doing it exactly like you told me to, and i’m still not getting it right. “

“ i don’t need a break! i need to keep going until i get this right! “

“ show me how you did it. “

“ i don’t know how. and you do. all i’m asking is for a few hours of training… please? “

“ that’s it. i quit! “

“ you’re a terrible teacher, you know that? “

“ you said you’d teach me. and i’m here to learn. so let’s go already. “

“ what’s the point?! i’m useless at this! “

“ this is pointless, i’m never going to be ready! “

“I think I will.” He smiled. When was the last time he went to a library? He had no clue. But he’d definitely go wherever Stede worked. “I’ve always been fascinated by pirates. Some of the stuff on the walls are little pieces of memorabilia from those times.” He laughed lightly. He was a bit of a nerd when it came to that stuff. Everybody had their special interests, he supposed. “Guess you’re very well read in all of that, then?” He joked. 

“I DIDN’T notice that! i’m ashamed of myself. i used to have a pirate flag on my wall as a child. i can’t remember who’s it was but it had hearts on it.” he hummed softly before finishing his food. “i can recite so many lore. i’ve been told i read too much.” he smiled sweetly at him. “would you...” he began before swallowing thickly once. “they are playing pirates of the caribbean in the theater fo nostalgia week... would you like to go with me? i think it’s the first one.”

[cursedfvngs]

He wrinkles his nose in confusion. “Charles? Who’s Charles? No– no one sent me here, or if they did, I don’t know who they could be.” He’d clearly been talking about Blackbeard, unless Captain Bonnet had way more former co-captains than previously formally acknowledged. “Yeah, you did know a Lucius, ‘cause you know me.” Unless this is just someone who looks a lot like him, in which case– oof, Lucius’s bad. “Hold on. Is your name not Stede Bonnet, gentleman pirate, former captain of the Revenge until you got forced to sign that contract or whatever?” 

“YES. MY name is stede bonnet... but i’m not a pirate nor have i ever been.” he’s fantasied it, sure. “i’m just a kid from new york...” he groaned, getting annoyed with this conversation. “i’m sorry but you have me confused with someone else.” a frown came across stede’s lips before a sigh came from him. “if i knew you before, i’m sorry. i don’t remember you. i’ve only been here for a year....”

[cursedfvngs]

mvsicinthedvrk​:

Not again. “Don’t you dare try the I-don’t-know-you thing. Your stupid, shitty, murdering, ex-boyfriend co-captain already tried to pull that and I’m not in the mood for a repeat, thanks.” He waits a beat, as though to see if Stede’ll say he’s just joking, before sighing and running a hand through his hair. “Lucius, your scribe, Lucius, crew of the Revenge, ring any bells? God, what do they put in the water here?” 

HIS EX-BOYFRIEND? charles? his heart dropped and a look of fright came across his face. he wouldn’t put murder past charles. “i-if charles sent you here... please leave. i... i want nothing to do with him. i’m going to the police if he tries contacting me again....” he stammered. “like i said-- i don’t know you. i’ve never known a lucius in my life.”

lucius & stede // @cursedfvngs​

In retrospect, it really shouldn’t have been a surprise to find Stede Bonnet in a library, of all places. “How’d you end up here, captain?” Lucius asks with a chipper smile, strolling up to the counter. “Last any of us heard, you were off to work for the crown…” Then Blackbeard had come back, no Stede in sight, and refused to tell them what had happened. But from what Lucius had managed to gather, whatever transpired hadn’t ended well. “You will not believe what happened once you’d left, Izzy Hands was in charge and it was an absolute nightmare… never leave us again, I’m literally begging you.” Not that it’d really been the other man’s choice the first time, what with the threat of execution over his head, but still.

HE WAS HUMMING in delight as he pushed the cart around with all the returned books or misplaced books found around the library. he could never get really bored at his job. the perks of being a librarian was-- on your down time, you had a million books to read. when the other spoke, he thought he was addressing someone else. but--- then he realized that the man was talking to him. he was a little taken back. “i’m sorry?” he began. “do i know you?”
