[Okay, so, this business with the mirror is... unpleasant, to say the least, but Xie Lian has always been the type to observe first and try to understand what's going on. It looks like a cursed item of some kind, maybe with a spirit attached, but he's a bit too woozy any time he is near he thing to properly investigate. And the first time a white mask is shoved into his hands...
Well, his companions might have grown used to him being congenial and just all around nice - some would probably say too nice and a but of a doormat - but the moment he touches the white mask, his grip goes white-knuckled on it and he visibly pales.
And in spite of it being, by all accounts, helpful, he absolutely refuses to wear it, deflecting any attempt to be persuaded with a smile.]
No, really, I'm fine. There's no need for this at all.
B. Toiling on the ship
[One good thing with Xie Lian is that he is really strong.
One not so good thing is that his luck is abysmal. Which means that every tasks he's been assigned to he has somehow managed to botch in some way, but you can't say he doesn't try, but there he is again apologizing because he broke something.]
I'm sorry! I won't touch it again...
Ah, but there's not much I'll be able to help with if everything is so fragile.
C. Escape
[If you're the lucky soul who somehow freed Xie Lian and is escorting him off the ship somehow, you'll be happy that he isn't completely dead weight, at least, and more or less keeping up... and then you turn a corner, and here is an undead tumbling towards you and before you have time to do anything, Xie Lian, apparently unarmed, has stepped in front of you and put himself right there in the middle.
He extends an am and gives what appears to be a light flick on the zombie's forehead... and the thing is catapulted back several meters and crashes into the ship's hull apparently hard enough to be dazed, even though it's technically not even alive.
Xie Lian checks behind him that you're alright - shouldn't you be doing that? - and smiles.]
Let's go before more of them arrive. I'm not sure how long I can keep doing this.
