Tansui's Adventures - #23, Lost Hope
It was supposed to be easy.
Tansui was not prepared for the empty, sullen eyes, hollowed cheeks, the movements that would’ve been more fitting with the walking dead than living, breathing people. Tansui was not prepared for the empty looks, and toneless voice, devoid of any kind of light or spark or hope.
He was not prepared for a small child telling them his story, nor a simple request of leaves - leaves! - to eat, for the hunger was too much.
Tansui’s own stomach clenched in a phantom pain, a memory so vivid and familiar, a taste of bile and ash and dry mold washing over his tongue, lodging itself into his throat, causing a rolling at the pit of his core.
He didn’t hesitate to go down on one knee and give the rest of his rations - he still had some raisins and treats they had been saving up, but the hungry needed them more. Tansui could always just hunt down a peiste and eat that dry meat. Anything to prevent someone else feeling the all consuming hunger that would make even the strongest of warriors into desperate savage.
Taking in a deep breath, Tansui took a look over the camp - Lost Hope. Originally, Tansui hadn’t figured out why’d people call it that, but now… now they understood. Even the resident guard told them to get away before being stuck here - but Tansui refused, shaking their head. They did not care for reputation.
The empty eyes and plea for food.
Tansui was not going to leave without making things at least a little better first.

Weird... I got a notice there was a message in my Inbox, but when I clicked, it wasn't there, so I pulled it from my email. I hope it's still okay to post!
I have messages from a number of people who just loved Charlotte Con, and I'm glad to hear J2 had a great time as well! I think that performers often feed off of the vibe they get from attendees so it works all around! Thanks for sharing!

Help my family. War is devastating. There is nothing left to live. No schools, no universities, no home, and no dreams. All dreams have been shattered. I hope for help before it is too
Thank you for bringing this to my attention, while I may not be able to help directly, I will spread your message to everyone here, we stand for Gaza and all of it's people suffering 🇵🇸🍉✊️

Guys this isn't funny anymore. Go give Mike Wheeler's Ultimate Guide to the Undead more love bc it's less popular than my other works and I love it so very much.
I promise it's fun becuse it's miwi and Will is (sort of?) a zombie and it's so cute and arguably the best-written of all my fics because it's my most recent.

you've heard of "quiet quitting," now I'd like to introduce you to the next level, The French Work Ethic:
Do exactly what you're paid for and nothing more
Absolutely refuse to be available to contact when you're off the clock
Never prioritize work over your own health, wellbeing, or family because that would be insane, it's just a job.
Have a little glass of wine
Take as long as you feel like for lunch
Deeply understand that work doesn't matter
Make sure your boss knows they're always your second priority ❤️

the real danger of spending too much time with friends is you stumble out of ten days of happiness and good food like oh my god THAT was real life. my job means NOTHING
