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]

That's good. I've never had stuff like this before, but it's nice.

Your home back in your world was falling apart?

[satanslash]

Not... my world. I was pulled to a different place before here.

[buddingromantic]

Before here? You were somewhere else before that wasn't your world? What... what place was that?

[satanslash]

It didn't have a name and we weren't given a whole lotta information about it when we showed up, but we all took to callin' it "Chroma Village".

[buddingromantic]

Oh, so it was another place in this world that was run down like that?

[satanslash]

No, it was somewhere else. A... totally different world. The name was just... we picked it, the ones who got dragged there. So like, it's just a weird thing that chroma happens to be the name of currency here.

[buddingromantic]

That... is a very odd coincidence. I'm sorry that you had to be in a place like that.

[satanslash]

Yeah. It is. But... I'm here now and I don't think anyone's gonna be goin' back.

[buddingromantic]

That's good at least. This place is very nice for how confusing it is. Since they do give us a place to stay even though we don't have anything. It would have been better if they had explanations for all the devices, but otherwise.

[satanslash]

It is a little weird that they don't give us any like... manuals or whatever.

[buddingromantic]

Right? Like they assumed everyone would know what these things were. When I arrived, I was worried I wouldn't even be able to make a pot of tea and it turned out to be the easiest task.

[satanslash]

I mean, electric stoves and whatever do make things a lot easier than stone ones. But I guess if you've never seen a dial before you'd be closer to settin' things on fire than makin' tea.

There anythin' else you need help with?

[buddingromantic]

Pretty much. I know it has numbers, but it's hard to understand the difference between "1" and "10".

No, I think that was it. Thank you for your help.

[satanslash]

Yeah, no problem. You can message me if you ever have any other questions.

[buddingromantic]

I will! Thanks.
