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

Why would you wish to do such a thing?

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?

[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?

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

Tarot card, of course.

[inheritedpain]

[resurging]

how do y

yangyang

you mean murder, don't you

[resurging]

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

[resurging]

but educational! right?

[resurging]

okay okay not a jar, then. a mirror? what about a comb? how small can you make things before they're too small to be possessed?

what if you possess a grain of sand?




do you have to eat the entire thing to be possessed, or do you just end up with part of a spirit in you?

what if you have to relieve yourself

does the spirit just

leave???

[resurging]

yes he did!

BUT HE MISSED! TWICE!

[consignation]

MORE IMPORTANT THAN MY BACKHAND??

[inheritedpain]

if you put it in a mirror could it make faces at you
are y

are you going to make a tiny miniature mirror

what about a ring

i think a grain of sand would be too easy to lose



i don't know I DON'T KNOW I'VE NEVER DONE THIS BEFORE

i think it would stay with you though, wouldn't it?? like

you absorb the parts of the food that are good for you

release the rest

the spirit would want to stay with the good parts, right??
