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

we could ask around! get some to volunteer!

there has to be ghosts around here, surely!!!

[consignation]

how is that any different from how lan zhan treats anything else

[wildlinks]

Yes. They are cards that a lot of people use to try and predict the future

The success rate is 50/50.

But all spirits have personalities, right? So you just have to match it to the right arcana card that represents the said personality. Bright and encouraging spirits go to "Sun", mysterious to "Moon", tricksters and reckless to "Fool" and so on.

WE WENT MONTHS WITHOUT YOU THREATENING TO HIT ME

COME ON THEN
COME ON AND TRY IT

[ Jin Ling sure is brave over text... ]

[huaisang]

Yeah, he hit me.

Why are you asking this question? Are you hiding any spirits?

[resurging]

he likes me better when i'm a fox
clearly he only likes animals
he doesn't like me
it's fine, i'll just talk to zewu-jun instead

jiang cheng do we have extra jars and chalk, i'm going to test an array

[menaces]

[ why... go through all that trouble when you can just make your own?? he doesn't get it. but he supposes this is one of those if-you-can't-make-your-own-vengeful-spirit-storebought-is-fine situations.

sighs.

the things he does for love. ]

does it have to be a person's spirit?

,klsndf I LAUGHED OUT OF MY NOSE

[resurging]

oh

oh no, i'm sorry!!!

and i'm not hiding any spirits! not yet anyway

wanna come join us?

[resurging]

...we're going to find a spirit and eat it
we have to know
would you absorb their powers too?
would they take over your body too?
what if you killed a cultivator who's better than you and then ate their spirit?
would it be the same as eating their golden core?
can you even eat a golden core

help me steal one of jiang cheng's hairpieces

[inheritedpain]

[ FUCK SHIT FUCK

there is a crash as the cup jin ling was holding hits the ground, the seventeen year old suddenly scrambling up and over his uncle wei ying as if the man was a barricade

I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING WRONG!!

You should be, do you know how hard those scrolls are?


I don't know, is this really a good idea? [ he's so in, as if he'd ever say no to wei wuxian. he's just pretending because plausible deniability and all. ]

[resurging]

[you know, he hasn't considered that part. what about animal spirits, indeed? what about beasts? surely some of them can form cores? hmmm.]

we'll have to find a beast with a core, then. or at least the ability to form one. if it has a mind of its own, then it's not a common creature, that would elevate its spirit.

[inheritedpain]

the only spirits here are like
people ones
i know i looked and i don't think we should eat them

i doN'T WANT TO BE POSSESSED
HOW DID WE START TALKING ABOUT THIS

what



what would a golden core even taste like if you could eat it



and i'm pretty sure uncle is already going to break my legs

[resurging]

fortune cards! that's ingenious!

but that success rate isn't so good, hmmm. why does it fail half the time? are the cards not spiritual objects usually?

how many cards are there? can you just make your own cards, or is there a ritual to them? can you summon just about any spirit? and what would it cost! what if you were a commoner? how would that

aaaa i have so many questions!

[inheritedpain]

iF YOU EVEN

LOOK SIDEWAYS AT FAIRY

1/2

[resurging]

we're cultivators i can heal you

[resurging]

alright i'm going to look for a spirit we can eat
i'm leaving the arrays to you

i trust you, jin ling!

JIN LING! WHERE'D YOU GOOO--

WHAT PART OF EVER HAVING KNOWN ME MAKES YOU THINK I'D SAY YES??
NO ONE IS EATING ANY SPIRITS
I WILL WHIP BOTH OF YOU WITHIN AN INCH OF YOUR LIVES
YOU WILL BECOME THE SPIRITS!!!!
