❄️ video, un: angel

[schmisse]

[ It's a girl with plaited hair who graces everyone's feeds with her presence today. Some may have seen her on TV already, though she's definitely more present on stage in the theatre. To those who know her but haven't met her since mid-February, she's matured by a lot. Anyway... ]

Do any of you use Demichroma? I'd like to point out that while it's not worth a lot with Chroma in the picture, it's still an invaluable resource.

[ The video doesn't seem to be in an apartment. It's more of an office setting. A man in a Moon Knight's uniform suddenly starts walking in the back. Weiss looks behind her and tries to tell him to go away.

AHEM. ]

With the right amount of Chroma added, you can use Demichroma to defend yourself. It helps, I think, that you shouldn't just rely on the magic you get from the Moons, if you don't have any other abilities to fight of your own. There's more trouble on the horizon, what with what happened last month, not to mention, that King Majestas which no one seems to have any idea of.

So, this is Demichroma with a little bit of fire, [ She shows a small red crystal to the screen. ] And this is what I can do with it.

[ A Glyph appears next to her when she summons it. Then she tosses the crystal into the Glyph backwards, where a beam of fire comes out and practically toasts the wall behind them. Said Moon Knight who had a cameo earlier starts extinguishing the flames. ]

I'd be happy to give more tips on how to use Demichroma in battle. Of course, if there are other uses for it that you think would be helpful, not just in combat, but you can use energy in so many ways. Let's exchange ideas.

My name is Weiss Schnee. Thank you.

This might seem weird, especially since we don't know each other, but... Are you taking in students?

[noenvy]

I haven't really thought about it. I do sometimes instruct the juniors....

I don't mind teaching what I can though.

[schmisse]

Great. I'd like to learn more— whatever you're willing to teach.

[noenvy]

I suppose the easiest place to start with would be basic cultivation. I can put together a book as a good starter for you if you like.

[schmisse]

I would appreciate that very much. Thank you.

[noenvy]

I'll prepare one and send it your way soon then. Also if you're interested I know there are morning lessons and training done by Lan Wangji.

[schmisse]

I don't know who that is.

Oh! I'm Weiss, by the way. [ But she said that already. She just wants to be more formal! ]

[noenvy]

Oh, he's my husband. Don't worry about.

I am Wei Wuxian. And it's a pleasure to meet you Young Mistress Weiss.

[schmisse]

Oh, that's... a little too formal. Just Weiss would do.

[noenvy]

Works for me.

[He has never been one for too much formality.]

Weiss. An interesting name.

[schmisse]

It's supposed to mean "white", like the colour.

[noenvy]

That's quite a fitting name then! It's like being a blank slate as well, something that can be filled over time? Or perhaps pure?

[schmisse]

All children after the Great War were named after colours, or something that would remind someone of colours.

[noenvy]

Is it an attempt to bring colour into the world where darkness had seeped the land previously?

[It felt like something poetic like that at least.]

[schmisse]

It's something like that, yes. It's humanity's way of saying that there's hope.

[noenvy]

I truly wonderful name.

[schmisse]

Does your name mean anything?

[noenvy]

Wuxian means to have no envy. It was given to me as a young child by the one who raised me.

[schmisse]

Oh! [ That's... surprising! And a little embarrassing. ] Wuxian is your name, then? I thought of calling you Wei. My apologies.

[noenvy]

Don't worry about it, I've noticed people handle names differently here. I've noticed no one has courtesy names.

[schmisse]

Courtesy names? That's the first time I've heard of such a thing.

[noenvy]

It's the name one gets when they are of an age to be introduced to the public. For example, my personal name is Wei Ying, only my family and those close to me should use that name. Wuxian is my courtesy name, my name as an adult and a member of society. A courtesy name will be given by a parent, close relative, sometimes a teacher or other person of influence as well.

[schmisse]

I see. That's understandable, although a little strange.

Why do you need one— does it really matter what other people call you?

[noenvy]

Of course. The name your parents give you is a child's name. It's for babies and doesn't reflect who you are. Your courtesy name reflects your nature, who you are, who you want to be. Who you can become, who you have become.

And it would be rude for a strange to call you the way your parents or spouse would. It would be insulting.

[schmisse]

I see... When you say it like that, that makes a lot of sense.

[ She wants a courtesy name... ]
