Video - un: o.zizhen

[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]

The food explodes? I hope the dish doesn't explode. That would be dangerous. Either way, it's not good.

I suppose so... it seems very dangerous though.

[baitless]

I have not had a dish explode yet, thankfully, but I did have to clean soup off of every surface of the microwave’s interior. It is not an experience I wish to repeat.

[buddingromantic]

I've had to do similar things so I understand completely. I don't want to do that regularly.

[baitless]

Perhaps... it would be best to only use it when supervised by someone who already understands the device's mysterious ways.

[buddingromantic]

Yeah... might be a good idea until I understand it better.

[He's still not convinced its not cursed, but its at least helpful]

[baitless]

It seems others are more familiar with them, so it should not be difficult to find someone who can help you.

...

Whether they will do so in good faith is a bigger question, though.

[buddingromantic]

That is a good point. Even if they know, are they going to tell us the right information? If Lan SiZhui knows about them, I would trust his word. I'll have to ask him.

[baitless]

That seems like a wise course of action. I know some people who I can trust to explain it, but it's easier if someone else can vouch for them, as well.

[buddingromantic]

It is. I don't know that I'd want to trust just anyone. Someone told me that metal in the microwave summons a demon and then said it didn't actually do that.

[baitless]

I feel as though it will get easier to tell who is joking and who isn’t with time, but... it certainly can be difficult to get to that point...

[buddingromantic]

Yeah. It doesn't help that my world has those things. Ghosts and monsters. There are others who do not apparently so its probably easier for them to think that it is a joke.

[baitless]

Yes, that certainly makes sense. There are monsters in my world, as well, though they are generally not small enough to fit in something like that.

[buddingromantic]

No, monsters usually aren’t that small. But a ghost could attach itself to things because they have no size that we can figure out. Which was why I thought it might be possessed.
