[it's very early sunday morning, by which i mean probably like 4 or 5 am, and qi rong is ... soaking wet! he's still wearing his sexy nun outfit. it's seen better days.
anyway, all this to say, he's probably been outdoors all night because he couldn't get the first couple of hotel room doors open that he tried and he promptly gave up and fucked off to try and find someone else's house, but none of them were fancy enough for his tastes, so he just ended up wandering around in the rain for hours.
he's now trudging into the hotel and just trying the doors again. shaking the doorknobs roughly, pounding on them, yelling... rip to anyone trying to get a good night's sleep.]
Hey! Open the fuck up! There's more than enough rooms for everyone here!!
[yes, he is yelling outside of xie lian's room now. no, he doesn't know it's his.]
seeing as how xie lian's roommate is the weirdest sleeper on god's green earth, xie lian himself has just been sitting in his room and meditating, back to the door, calm and relaxed with a blanket on his lap. it's going well, right up until he hears a grating, familiar voice, and a ton of noise.
he could be right behind this door or he could be down the hallway. the minute xie lian hears it, he opens an eye and then pushes himself up, opening his own door and sticking his head out.
in a heated whisper - ] Qi Rong! There are people trying to sleep, what are you doing?
And I'm trying to sleep too, but these fucking doors won't fucking open!
[he is not lowering his voice
he is also debating whether or not getting into a room to rest is worth getting into xie lian's room. in the end, he decides it is, and takes a step towards the door.]
well, it kind of checks out? xie lian is here at the board with the scrolls on it, just reading over each profile. his own is near the bottom, and still says disciplining qi rong which is very funny.
he does notice qi rong's presence (like how do you not) but otherwise just leaves him be, at least... for now... ]
which! in retrospect! does not bode well for the good news he got the other day. xie lian may very well have to continue dealing with the white-clothed calamity! it could be a recent development! haha! fuck you!
anyway, qi rong is reading the profiles and snickering to himself - but then he lets out an indignant squawk when he sees disciplining qi rong on xie lian's.]
[ he was just very patiently ignoring qi rong and his mean pettiness, because like, of course he was, but the loud, indignant squawk does finally get him to glance over, brows furrowed.
FUCK OFF! Who's older here, now? Me! You don't have the right to fucking discipline me anymore! Hahaha, if anything, you're my little cousin now! So you have to listen to what I say!
Because someone has turned up dead, and you're insisting on running off on your own, in the middle of all of this.
[ xie lian has a bad, bad feeling. his danger senses are making the hairs on the back of his neck stand up - san lang, once a ferret wrapped around his neck, now hops down to the ground and transforms in a shift of golden dust into his qilin form, bristly as xie lian strides briskly after qi rong, not letting go in a second. ]
What, for safety? Tch, I'm not afraid of any fucking spectres. They can come at me. I'm the Night-Touring Green Lantern, one of the four Ghost Kings! [sir] I'll rip them to shreds and eat up every last piece of them!

and deeply considers letting qi rong just have it
however he is not rude so he will not do that, putting his body in front of the door. ]
The doors won't open unless you find the one that matches your coin. Have you lost it?

[
probably because his room is on the third floor and this is the second.]
