question: if you were, hypothetically, to trap a spirit in an inanimate object, how would you go about it?

[ Technically, he and Wei Wuxian are in the same room. Technically, they are seated next to each other on the couch and there has been a little too much plum wine consumed between the two of them. So really, by all accounts, Jin Ling should be speaking this aloud, but instead he's texting because Wei Wuxian is the one who had to bring this conversation to the Masses. ]

this is the wrong question

enchant it like a spirit pouch obviously

the REAL question is WHAT inanimate object

DONT ENCOURAGE HIM

[resurging]

what about a stoppered jar? so you can just let the spirit out whenever you like. but they have to be tethered so they can be sealed again.

what if you trap the spirit in food, though?

Why would you wish to do such a thing?

[resurging]

why not? it could be interesting! i mean we'd have to look for a spirit that would be willing... or maybe a resentful spirit...

ah, lan zhan, what do you think?

[consignation]

if anything in this house becomes haunted or cursed you are moving out

[resurging]

so if we do it outside i can stay?

Release spirits to their rest.

[resurging]

not all spirits wish to rest. some want to burn the world in their resentment.

Tarot card, of course.

[It makes sense to no one but him.]

[resurging]

Wei-xiong, didn't Lan Qiren throw something at you last time you started asking these sorts of questions?

[resurging]

BUT HE MISSED! TWICE!

are you trying to do this?
because don't
it's dark magic

un: the jinling

[inheritedpain]

he's not actually going to do it because there aren't any spirits here anyway he's just being stupid


i showed him some of those movies and he got ideas
he has way too many ideas it makes my brain hurt

Then, just. ]

Please, don't.

he got too many ideas

Do you have no shame?
Maybe, just to keep things interesting, you'll act like you have a working brain for a change and think through all the reasons why asking this is foolishness.

lady wen? is that you? you are here? is wen ning here as well? how are you!

[All right. Hypothetically. Let's go with that.]

Is this an experiment?

un: thejinling; i'm sorry he's drunk

[inheritedpain]

experiment
that's the word i was looking for

thought experiment
except he keeps trying to draw arrays

but it's not like we have any spirits anyway

text un: zewu,jun

[unimpeachable]

[He's learned how to do this, really.]

...Hypothetically, why are you asking?

omg!!!

[resurging]

to learn more about how spirits interact with the natural world! if they can be contained, and if it's possible to channel their energy into something positive or dormant!

[titillation]

[Because she can't be bothered with typing.]

Pretty specific hypothetical.

[resurging]

[oh, what a, uh. gifted lady... he's definitely not staring!]

aren't hypotheticals supposed to be specific? how do you prove or disprove one without a clear idea to test?

text | un: nike

[purifyings]

By not trapping them in an underground shrine, ice shrine, or use a rainbow crystal as a control panel for the ice shrine.

[Why do these responded sound as specific as the hypothetical? Well. Reasons. Including the next text.]

Or better yet -- don't trap them, help them move on instead.

[lightningruins]

what kind of spirit?

text; un: zaveid

[sivard]

That sounds like an incredibly bad idea.

text; un: ozpin

[perspicaciously]

[ What a curious question he often finds on his feeds. For Ozpin though it's sort of...hits a sore spot. He technically didn't have a body anymore so he was more a spirit than anyone would really think. Sharing a body and ultimately melding with the others soul...of course he's just going to keep all of that to himself. ]

Is this common for you, then? Dealing with spirits I mean.
