[Here’s Huaisang sitting on the edge of a park fountain, wearing trousers for once.]

Greetings Lunatia! I’m Nie Huaisang.

I’d like to invite you all to attend my birthday party coming up next week. I’ll be renting an event center for it, and I hope that it will be a very grand event. There will be dancing, drinking, a buffet, a lottery, games and competitions.

Please dress as extravagantly as possible, whatever that means to you. I’ll be wearing a ball gown. Even if we haven’t met before, please come! Bring a date. Or two.

Gifts welcomed. See you there!

((OOC: Party log to be posted on or around May 20th.))

Yes. [There are several sections of that description that don't match at all with Huaisang's perception of either Jin Zixuan or Jin Guangyao. And they are very different people, after all. Just as Moran and Wangji are different people. Huaisang doesn't like this 'reality' of Moran's.]

Please forgive me, Lord Beitang. [He bows in apology.] I found this amusing at first, but I find I do not like hearing my friends described this way. Nor do I like the thought of having my own ascribed traits told to others. It seems to me that either it's inaccurate or an invasion of privacy.

[His brow furrows, deeply concerned.]

Does it, now?

Well, as you said, this is the reality from my world. Maybe, just maybe, it does not ascribe to yours.

[He doesn't think so at all, but he is not in the business of disquieting people for no reason. He quite likes Huaisang, even if he is absolutely certain the man is more than meets the eyes.]

However, I have found that those star signs seem to be shared with other universes as well, even if not yours. What I have told you today is the lore of Huangdao, but others here may be familiar with aspects of it as well. I would not want you to be distressed or think I have been talking willy-nilly if you meet it later

I understand. [Huaisang will simply have to trust that no one will get any epiphanies off of Beitang's description of a Taurus. Those friends and acquaintances who only know Huaisang at the surface level would balk at the suggestion of him being exceedingly competent or determined. That's what kept him safe for so long, after all.]

I look forward to seeing you at my birthday, Lord Beitang.

[beitangmoran]

I shall be there, Nie-gongzi. Until then.
