[ after an embarrassingly long time spent figuring out the functions of the communication bracelet - look, it's a lot to take in all in one go - wei wuxian types out a message that's equal parts honest inquiry and throwing things on a wall to see what sticks. ]

my respectful salute to everyone reading this. my name is wei wuxian, from the yunmeng jiang sect. i have some questions and a request, if it pleases.

[ okay, the manners part is done. wei wuxian can now go wild. ]

from what i've been told, moonlacing is the practice of creating chroma. it requires at least two willing participants, and physical contact is involved.

how much contact is needed? would exposed skin touching covered skin work? how long does one need to be in contact with their moonlacing partner in order to succeed in creating chroma, what's the bare minimum? how exactly is it stored, and can you learn how moonlacing is done? has anyone succeeded in moonlacing by themselves? are there limitations to moonlacing? does it still work if your partner is unconscious, or otherwise unable to participate due to injury or some other misfortune? how quickly can you lose chroma, what's the quickest that anyone's ever drained their reserves?

i have so many questions!

anyway, my request is this: would anyone be willing to help me test the answers to these questions by moonlacing with me? i'll be more than grateful for the help!

thank you for your time!

[ it's the start of a comedy act: ferris wheel girl and drunk guy. ]

i don't really have a lot of chroma myself, too - i'll be more than glad to help you out! would you mind if i asked you a bunch of questions while moonlacing, though?

i think i wrote down a list of them just now... how much time do you think you can spare?

[ the hit new act! catch them on the lunate show, tonight at ten pst ]

oh! awesome. i'm glad to help
and also answer questions?
i can't promise anything useful but i'll try my best!

anyway uh
i guess... as long as it doesn't get too late into the night?
i mean if i spend the night that's fine, i just don't want to try to figure out apartments at 3 am

[ it'll be so fun you'll wish you were drunk on a ferris wheel too! ]

there are no stupid questions, so it follows that there aren't useless answers too! we'll be fine!

oh, i

oh no no no it's not that kind of moonlacing! you don't have to spend the night, we'll just hold hands and maybe hug a lot! only what you're comfortable with!

oh

OH
no, i
i kind of figured??
i just meant that like
i didn't really have a time limit
i mean if you WANT to do that sort of thing that's also on the table?? but i mean
that's not what i was

sorry????
let's just. find time to hold hands or cuddle a little and see how that works first

let's be friends first!

[look. wei wuxian is going to be an infamously twisted and justifiably reviled figure in the cultivation world, and it's going to happen very soon, to the surprise of everyone around him.

he's also currently nineteen years old and horny.

he's trying a lot here, okay.]

i have some donuts, we can share them if you want? we can eat first before doing anything.

yeah! yeah. friends first. that sounds great

also the donuts sound great too.
i haven't actually eaten anything yet today?
haha. i suck at this

[ she appreciates it, wei wuxian. she really, really does. ]

see, we're not doing too bad!

come meet with me, you can have the donuts i still have, and after we moonlace we could try for an early supper and some drinks? what do you say? ah, we can get to know each other better this way too!

yeah!! we've got this. we're actually going to make this happen

[ goddamn. she gets cuddles, money, AND donuts?? this is awesome. this place rules compared to duplicity. ]

where are you at?
i'm just sort of chilling in one of the parks right now since. you know. still getting used to this place and all
