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

if i let fairy bite him he'll cry all night and then he'll never let her near him again
trying to get him to like her not hate her anymore

that

you

that!!

that's a different kind of biting shut up
shut up!


you're not overreacting
he

you should see how my whole
place
overreacted to him that would be a thing you didn't even try to kill him or anything

or stab him

at least you didn't stab him


you're not ruining anything
you can't
just try it and find out you really can't

[sizhui]

Maybe don't bite him. But okay. Just wanted to make sure.

Were the movies fun?

[ Private ]

I feel like 'impossible'is a word that he's aware of and refuses to accept, and he's usually right. It's just that it gets him into trouble and everything. And when he's really excited, the more you argue, the more he wants to do it
So all I could do is ask.

[imperio]

how could anyone hate fairy?
she's a great dog.

:x
my lips are sealed

uh
yeah
i will definitely definitely avoid stabbing your uncle at all costs
for one stabbing isn't really my style
also i would essentially do anything to get on your family's good side

i'm not going to try and ruin anything
don't be so silly

--> Private

[inheritedpain]

yeah

they're really like weird but

oh yeah
i was talking to harry about going to a movie with both of you actually
so we should do that??

he said something about popcorn


yeah that's why i'm not trying to just tell him not to do it
he's too stupid and stubborn

but it's okay
of course you're worried
you're too good to not be worried

too good

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.

[inheritedpain]

he hates all dogs
he's scared of them




well don't


well don't totally seal your lips

because i
like them
just
stop making me embarrassed that's all!!!


well if you manage to not stab him you
are doing better than me


i'm just saying
you could try but
you

look things are just
you make things better

[sizhui]

[ And then it clicks. ]

did you have wine with the movies? And.. okay, okay.

Popcorn is nice! I wouldn't mind at all if we go!

You're good, too, A-Ling.

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

Is this an experiment?

[inheritedpain]

yes

uncle wei can
drink a lot of wine
a looooot of wine
i don't know where it goes
how
how does it all fit in there his waist is tiny

but good!!! good
you'll like him
i know you will

that's
i'm just saying you worry about everything because you care about everything

[sizhui]

Practice, and a lot of things that make him sad so he has to counter them.

I'm sure I will, and I'm looking forward to it!

You are all worth caring for.

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

[inheritedpain]

well he shouldn't be sad anymore
i'll make sure he's not sad anymore!! he has no reason to be!!!


yeah
me too


see that
this is what i mean

i think there are lots of people that aren't worth caring about
because they're mean or petty or bullies or whatever

but you cared about me even when i was bullying you
i haven't forgotten that you know i'm not going to

[lanofsizhui]

Senior Wei's method can be unusual...
and maybe a little scary

No spirits in this world can be a good thing.

At least there is no haunted places, that's for sure!

[inheritedpain]

he's mostly just being stupid right now
he's not actually that scary at all he's just like

a puppy
who saw too many horror movies and now wants to see a possessed egg

yeah i mean

i

i don't know i kind of miss night hunting though
like properly
with you guys

[sizhui]

There are always all sorts of things that can make one sad. But we'll do our best, yes.


A-Ling, you had no idea what to expect back then. We were more or less strangers.
Sometimes people are mean or petty or bullies because they are hurt or upset, that doesn't mean that they want to be that, or mean it. There are some who do, of course, but I can't know which it is until I know them, and so I assume they don't mean it until they prove otherwise. And not that many people prove me otherwise.

[downswing]

Wei Wuxian. Enough.

[inheritedpain]

maybe it’s just because if anyone bullies you for more than a couple of times they’re just

[ a pause, as he desperately tries to come up with a word that fully encompasses his depth of feeling on this subject: ]

an asshole

[resurging]

i'm not doing anything! get mad later!

[resurging]

i

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

[resurging]

it's an experiment! would you like to join? there's room for extra participants!

[resurging]

aah, but sizhui! it could be so exciting! let's try something out at least!

[resurging]

is it, though? does it necessarily mean it's dark magic simply because a spirit is involved? or do intentions factor in as well? i mean, shouldn't it matter?

[resurging]

if i get possessed, lan zhan will help return me to myself! he won't punish you!!!

he might punish me

ah what if he takes it out of my ass

hmm maybe i should protect myself

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

...Hypothetically, why are you asking?

[sizhui]

Perhaps, young master Wei, but there are some kinds of excitement that are better off avoided.

[ Private. ]

Remember when you asked about having been a good person, and I told you yes, but there were mistakes. Something like this was along the lines of those mistakes.

Innocuous on its own, but in the context of other things, alarming.

But! If there is trouble with spirits, maybe then we can try, because then it would not be looking for trouble?
