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—-

[ Wen Ning still doesn't use the network that much. But he's been taught a few things. And a request from Jin Ling is something he feels he should respond to. Even if it is somewhat unusual. At least he should meet Jin Ling's odd requirements. And it might repair some of the damage from their last encounter.

So his face, complete with twitching deer ears appears on the screen, probably much to close, as this is the first time he's dealt with the moving picture mode. ]

What do you need... young Master Jin?

[ A lot has happened, since he lost saw Wen Ning. A lot. So instead of instant anger, a very different expression crosses his face - a deep shame.

He looks away, frowning off screen. ]

That’s—

That’s not the point. I’m trying to help other people.

So what do you need?

[goodboyplaydead]

Me?

[ Wen Ning isn't so good with being asked about his personal needs. His ears spring upright. ]

I... would like to help Young Master Jin. With your task.
