鬼锦鲤 guǐ jǐnlǐ
(literal translation is ghost koi)
maleabsentminded. he always sits in unexpected places looking at something no one can see. he never seems to be down onto earth. you can call his name over and over and he wouldn't realize until you grab his shoulder and shout it in his ear. he spends most of his entirety sinking in thoughts. when you try interact with him, he may give one or two worded answers before his eyes go past your face and you would have to drag him out again.
blunt. when you do grab his attention by a miracle, he doesnt seem aware about which thoughts should be kept down. he will tell you what it is no matter how unpleasant.
polite. even though he may be blunt, his words are spoken softly with no aggression, contempt, or harshness even if what he is saying seems to be. the most negative emotion you would be able to get out of him is a bitter sadness.
melancholic. he gives off an aura of calm quiet sadness, and he certainly is so. he emits a drowsing, pacifying effect. all of this makes him seem otherworldly. his abilities and his lanterns only add to the feeling.
forgetful. this always seems to go along with the absentminded. he can be in the middle of doing something before blinking, wondering what it was.
美丽 měilì
(literal translation is beautiful)
no gender (they/them)wise. like an endless pit of knowledge, the depths of their mind seems unreachable. it seems as if they knew the all of the worlds secrets.
caring. they will nurture you if you were sad, hand feed you the care that you seem to need. on the other hand, since they are caring, they can say the harsh words if it would get you moving. kind hearted at the roots of every word they speak.
constantly worried. in their mind they will fuss over things. thinking about all the things that could happen if they, or someone would make a mistake.
it is much easier to become friends with meili than it is jinli. jinli you would only ever get close to if you could hold his attention for more than a minute. meili seems to be an exception though. meili would whisper soft words, and jinli would listen carefully and nod his head or whisper some more back. even so, they never actually do talk much. their thoughts and emotions seems to be connected, meili knows whatever jinli is thinking, and the reverse is also true.
story wrote:the doll floated in the darkness, the only light was from their markings. but that was barely anything, only serving the purpose to making the inky blackness feel even more desolate. 'how long have i been submerged in this pond?' the doll thought for the millionth time. but of course, no answer came. when he had been first dropped down, it was a slow descent to the bottom. the light gradually becoming a distant memory. to be honest it wasn't all too deep, but the dirt and the silt was a thick cloud that only got thicker. it blocked all glimpses of hope. 'how long have i been submerged in this pond...?' his mind had put this question on replay. it felt like he was floating in an abyss. the pond definitely had an end, but the last time they saw it was a long road down their existence. 'its cold... someone please...' an empty cry that couldn't even resound through the water. the doll was only a doll after all, no free will to speak of.
the dirt sifted, a small voice echoed through his head. 'do you want to live?' he could feel from the moving water that the mysterious presence was circling him slowly. he wanted to shout with his desperation, yes he did want to live, he wanted the dark backdrop to stop crawling into his being, suffocating him. he wanted the light to fully engulf his entirety, never to leave him again. he couldn't feel the small things movements. with a dreadful fear that dripped down his back, he thought that it had left him. a koi fish slowly swam in front of him, close enough the the light from his eyes illuminated its front. and its voice echoed through his mind again, 'then you will live.'
an orange light suddenly flourished. streams of the liquid light circled him and danced with his mind. it had felt strange to move his own arms by himself. he slowly sat up, eyes slightly widening. the light illuminated through the darkness, the water and dirt stirred as the real koi that inhabited the pond swam wildly by the sudden disturbance. the koi inched close to the doll, giant in comparison. "beautiful." he whispered. just 20 seconds ago that would've been the last thing on his mind, but the life he had been given changed everything. the koi he spoke with swam to his side to watch the spectacle. as the light twisted and twirled in a flurry of excitement, the gorgeous koi swam along with it. it made the whole place actually feel alive, and an unknown feeling blossomed in his chest. the doll smiled just the slightest bit, and said to the koi that had saved him, "do you have a name?" the koi responded, "no, this is the first time for me as well i've felt this feeling of completeness. i was just as empty as you before, so a name wasn't ever a thing that occupied my mind." the doll whispered back, "do you mind if i give you a name?". the koi looked at him, "i feel that would be the only fitting way i would gain a name." the doll closed his eyes. "美丽, that is the name i have thought of." "beautiful?" the koi settled into a small silence, and he could feel its contentedness with the name. he looked back at the dancing koi and light. 'i guess this pond isn't that bad.'
extras wrote:jinli actually is now afraid of the dark, good thing he never can be in complete darkness now because of his ability
jinli brings the lanterns he makes wherever he goes no matter how bright. its so that he knows there is always going to be light.
jinli and meili both cherish the world outside of the pond dearly
jinli and meili still go into the pond to see the koi interact with the light. it really beautiful, so they sometimes spend hours on end in there. jinli usually is nervous when entering in, but settles down after a couple minutes.
they both arent very good with their own emotions
art art and art (all by me)
