[ i'm sorry to report that of course he is in the kitchen and he is making the most diabolically spicy hot pot that he possibly can. he's a little slow, but hey, his knife isn't dented! that's nice!
his ear flicks when he hears footsteps, and he glances over his shoulder. ]
it's fumkin noisy in here but he's doing his best! he seems to be doggedly playing one game in particular. it's a rhythm game, one of those taiko drum ones, and he seems like he's really concentrating, ears perked up and forward. is he perhaps trying to get a high score? maybe. it's not out of the question because he actually is doing pretty good, he's got near perfects on all of the notes. oh, also, he's wearing this.
in any case, he's very clearly not paying attention to anything around him so this is your chance to jumpscare the shit out of him if you'd like. ]
[ Marcoh will speak out before he approaches after a moment of observation, seeing if he can read the general atmosphere. Mostly if it's Fuck Off or not. ]
jiaoqiu is in his room, under blankets, trying not to shiver to death. his ears flick when marcoh comes down the hall, and he huffs out a little laugh. ]
[ today, jiaoqiu can be found planting flowers in the olive garden. he occasionally takes little breaks, pausing to press his face against his shoulder. almost like he's blocking the light off. and then he goes back to his work, frowning in thought. oh, also, he's wearing a flower bracelet! it's made of pink chrysanthemums.
his ears swivel and perk when he hears footsteps, though. and after a moment: ]
[ The olive garden... if there's chao around he politely steps around then or helps them go along their way. He doesn't come up right up Jiaoqiu right away but he's been caught, so. ]
he's like, fine, mostly. you can probably find him tucked away somewhere quiet with pillows. his tail is now brushed, but he looks like he hasn't slept, and he's very pale. the smell of the food, though - that gets his ears to perk up, and he looks in marcoh's direction. ]
[ Water bottles... water bottles everywhere... This is a fucking devastating morning announcement but he, as usual perhaps, busies himself with the thought of making sure the others are okay.
jiaoqiu is here, feeling his way around, getting accustomed to the area! he's way less injured today. his ear is still missing, but based on the way he's holding himself, he isn't in horrible pain. that's probably nice. the general vibe here is just this sort of consistent serene emotion, totally calm. a little dead, numb. there are some curiosity feelings, though.
it looks mostly like he's trying to memorize what the layout of this place is. ]
[ Hey... shit sucks... he's escaping the church early for once this week but he's not going far. He just needs to get outside real quick, separate himself from the really bad feedback loop of everyone feeling horrible about this and that, because it is very palpable that his own emotions were on a rising tension like a guitar wire strung far too tight. He needed air, and to get away for a second. ]
[ sets this post curse because everything happens so much
he's like wildly embarrassed, but he's going to come check on marcoh at some point to see what the hell was going on with. all of that. where you at. ]
[ I wish I had some weird comfort spot that you could simply just Find Him At this game but he does not have one however I may wrangle something silly depending
You can either find him having a quiet meltdown somewhere in the Neighbourhood or Something Else, you can pick. ]
[ he's curled up in the tavern tonight with booze and a blanket, staring out... a window, i suppose. idk if there are windows. there are now for the sake of this thread. his ear flicks at the sound of someone approaching, and he glances over, with a smile. ]

Hilarious though that this is the second taiko specifically he's doing today if seems.
He's not mean enough to jumpscare in person but he does just kind of stand here and watch this happen for a while, like a wall shaped wraith.
