001. Video. Hi Ghosts, it’s me, ya boi
[ Hi Prisma, have a frowning seventeen year old with way too much gold in his hair show up on your feed.
Now, Jin Ling has never bothered to introduce himself on the network. At first because the tech was completely foreign to him and then because it seemed like a hassle and let’s be real the boy has no manners.
But he’s on a Quest, now, so he’ll deign to speak to the common folk, for once.
.. ... ... it’s not like he’s desperate, or anything. ]
Alright, listen. I’m looking for a ghost. Any ghost. Or general undead, if we have to be picky, here. So if you or someone you know fits this description then you better tell me!! I’m going to help you get rid of some of your resentful energy!!
[ Jin Ling seems to think everything he just said is totally reasonable and makes sense. So he doesn’t even bother to explain before moving on. ]
If you aren’t a ghost but you’re in trouble you can tell me, too!! I need to help someone so that I— Look, it’s not important!! So don’t ask questions just let me help already!!
I’m good at helping, especially if it involves swords, archery, or dogs.
[ A pause, a deeper frown: ]
How do I turn this off any—-

[ He makes a hmph and looks away from the screen and pointedly does not answer the question. That question is a trap. ]
Fine. I'll help you. Whether it counts or not. What do you need me to do?
no subject
First I want to know your chroma levels and what sort of skills you can use comfortably and how often before you need to recharge. Also, how long does it take you to get to an adequate level to preform and what methods give what speeds.
Practical demonstration of use is also important.
slamming the private function on this because oh my god
[ He's going red again. ]
My chroma is fine. As long as I don't overdo it, I can make it back fairly easily. But what are you -- why don't you test the methods for yourself!! You have someone to test that with, why do you need to ask me??
Continued private~
I don’t care if it’s fine or not, I just need numbers to work with. Also, you think I’m not also testing? But I want to test different levels. I can’t make all of my theories require high chroma only.
[Why yes, he was sharing that unabashed.]
shameless!!
You could always just!! Not!! For a week!! You could self-regulate!!
[ The last thing he wanted any of his uncles doing - the ones directly related or not - was get a look at his chroma numbers over the last couple of weeks. There were way, way too many questions that could lead to that he did not want to answer.
He is bright red by this point. ]
Always!
[That counted as that, right? Close enough.]
Not even talking about that, but not touching him at all? How could I!? Would you have me sleep in another room!?
What are you so embarrassed about anyway,
no subject
Don't tell me these things!! These aren't things I should know!! Keep it between yourselves!!
[ His own Wei Ying just whined about wanting to kiss Lan Wangji, this was far more traumatic. ]
M-my own chroma is personal too! I'm tired of everyone getting weird about it!!
[ Says the person that definitely makes it weird.
Except for maybe his dad inquiring about his chroma levels on the network publicly to everyone, that was a thing. ]
no subject
And I'm not being weird about it. Chroma is an energy, just because it is cultivated by touching another doesn't make it any different. What are you so worried about? We all have to generate it or we will die.
no subject
Fine. I don’t have to tell you how it’s generated, right?
no subject
no subject
[ He looks down at his phone frowning. ]
How do I even know what numbers are high or not?
no subject
no subject
Fine, then how do you want to do this? Do you want me to come there or what?
no subject
But not right now, I need to prepare. This is still in the early stages of outlines.
I guess to start a report on what abilities you use daily and how they effect you.
no subject
Fine.
I fly on my sword pretty much every day because it gets me places faster. But it doesn't take a lot to make up for whatever that loss is.
I got more tired when Uncle Wei set me on fire, but that's because I overexerted myself because I wasn't ready yet!!
no subject
He set you on fire?
[What?]
no subject
And I would have been better prepared for it if he'd given me even thirty seconds to say hello fist!
no subject
no subject
[ He doesn't realise he's doing it, but he can't quite keep that little bit of pride out of his voice. ]
But there has to be something to ward against!!
no subject
[He was all for throwing people into a situation and forcing them to react, but that was a bit too reckless.]
no subject
He was testing my reaction times and the extent of my current ability. [ A little haughtily and clearly not willing to hear critism on the subject .
So: no. He was not taught the spell first. ]
no subject
It was unnecessary. Why did you not ask someone with more experience? He is barely older than you.
no subject
He’s super smart and good at talismans! Why wouldn’t I ask him?
He can still teach me things!!
