Video - un: o.zizhen

[buddingromantic]

[Zizhen appears in the video as he always does, wearing his red Baling Ouyang sect robes, hair put up in a top knot with its usual cap. When Zizhen starts the video though, he looks rather alarmed. Something must have happened for him to be this way]

I don't understand, Prisma! There must be some black magic at work, but I don't even know what it could be! It's just frightening!

[He adjusts the camera to show... the microwave in the kitchen]

It takes greater than five minutes for water to boil on this thing called a stove, but this "microwave" can boil the same amount of water in under five! This... this is madness! And those already made foods that have been kept in the ice - there are two details for cooking. Over 30 minutes in the oven, but only five in the "microwave"!

[He's saying microwave like he doesn't believe that's what it could be called]

Surely this must be a cursed item!

[Someone please tell him to calm down about the microwave... or egg him on]

Zizhen? [ Sizhui is squinting slightly at what the camera showed, but he doesn't thing anything unpleasant happened. ] You haven't been hurt, right?

I think it only counts as cursed if it's actively trying to hurt people. If it's useful and harmless within the descriptions, then isn't it more like an object with a charm set on it?

[buddingromantic]

Hello, Sizhui. No, I have not been harmed.

Hmm... yes, perhaps you are right. There is still something very odd about that box.

[sizhui]

Well... we flew among the stars between the moon and the planet... what here doesn't have something very odd about it?

[buddingromantic]

Oh... yes, very true! We have done that and it is something I doubt we ever dreamed of being able to do. So yes, odd is normal here.

[sizhui]

Yeah.

Zizhen... did you read the manual, first?

[ He's just asking. ]

[buddingromantic]

There are instructions?

[Your answer]

[sizhui]

... oh, Zizhen. [ Warm and fond, though, not mocking. Because Sizhui doesn't really mock. ]

Yes, there are. In one of the drawers under it. They might help, as well as reading any instructions on packaged food.

[buddingromantic]

Oh...

Oh! Maybe... I should read those.

[The derp]

[sizhui]

Yeah. They don't always help as much as one might wish, but sometimes they really do.

[buddingromantic]

The one for the microwave is helpful then?
