i mean

im pretty sure with lan wangji that would just be a "i'll disarm you" and you think it's a joke and then suddenly you empathise with the anurr forces BUT NO

asdf congratulations you now also have a necromancer for a friend, are you going to be okay with this guy controlling the dead (s-sobs)

[jeoha]

WE... WILL FIND OUT....

Honestly like

maybe

If the dead were like Wen Ning i think he would have a very different concept of them

The zombies he knew back home were only ever used by Very Evil People for Very Evil Reasons and definitely couldn't awkwardly sell radishes

[weifinder]

he will fight you if you ever called wen ning dead HE IS NOT DEAD!!!

but yeah if he ever wanted to hear a not!necromancer just breaking into the necromancy scene in a more "wait dead bodies reanimated" way talk about what he's noticed... that can be one way to spend cold nights

talking about the undead, feeling even more cold

.............................. anyway wen ning is a beautiful young man and he would sing his praises if he were here

[jeoha]

sobbing

he's slowly coming around to #NotAllZombies so he may be more chill than he would have been like... when he first got here at least...

[weifinder]

was he also over at the mermaid ship convention or did you just have fox active there (since fox was incoming), asking because my brain is a sieve

but yeah if nothing else he could have seen wei wuxian trying to panic sing up some zombie help at the farm, for the wolves, maybe got one gored on like... some kind of deer-adjacent creature... after a squirrel came first...

[jeoha]

TECHNICALLY HE WAS THERE i just sort of died and didn't tag him in but we could always backtag it

omg yes panic dead for the wolves and he can see lee chang's fire sword at the same time

[weifinder]

oh it's fine i did like. one. one point two threads, i was just going to say his contribution in those one point two threads was getting mermaid zombies to mostly listen to him to help not eat alina starkov and to get the ship's anchors up SO

him playing flute and makin' things happen but yes

fire sword looks impressive how does it MAINTAIN this fire he wants to know

[jeoha]

um


blood

he has to feed it blood

that's fine right? it's fine

just don't mind the multiple cuts he has in his palm now...

[weifinder]

... u fucker ur doing demonic cultivation under another name too HE SHOULD HAVE KNOWN

[jeoha]

MINGYU GAVE IT TO HIM HE DOESN'T KNOW WTF DEMONIC CULTIVATION IS

[weifinder]

MINGYU ARE YOU ANOTHER FUCKING DEMONIC CULTIVATOR THEY REALLY NEED TO HAVE FASCINATING CONVERSATIONS about also what yore doing with your boy the other boy seems to have his own magic nonsense going on, mad respect

[jeoha]

actually if my other boy finds wei wuxian doing any sort of magic, he is just going to end up glued to him with a million questions until wei wuxian begs lan wangji to kill him

[weifinder]

nah he did that once it went horribly he's never doing that again he actually cares about lan zhan you don't repeatedly traumatise the guy--lkasdjf

but he is hooking fox up with the ghost of the cloak when he needs a breather so that'll definitely happen BUT LOOK, ENTHUSIASM he's

mostly not had to deal with fanboys so this is new (even if fox isn't a fanboy it's that energy and wei wuxian going 'i technically know no magic, but that's the closest word in current context to use, so')

[foxable]

fox like NO DUDE THIS IS TOTALLY MAGIC we actually still have some talisman magic left from the chinese schools but like, a) most of it is completely kept under lock and key and i can only lockpick so many boxes if you know what i mean and b) a lot of it is just lost over time but CHECK IT i stole some paper and made my own talismans with my own magic what do you think???

so yes just
endless enthusiasm

he will be SO EXCITED to meet a ghost but also that ghost may get very bored of him

[weifinder]

this ghost has been locked up for what might be decades, he can take it

LMFASLKDJ wei wuxian like yes this is cool explain to me your thought process and where you want these to end up and lets invent Even More and think if we tweak this Like So that we may get it to do this instead--

[foxable]

yeah they will just end up vibing and doing magic until fox literally passes out because he forgot to eat and/or drink that entire time

[weifinder]

... lmf fox is going to be the only reason next to like, worrying over everyone else here that wei wuxian will remember to eat/sleep and also i hope wen qing comes needle them both for this it would be Earned

drags him off to eat, Son, You Must Take Care of Yourself, he feels old

[foxable]

oh no
oh no not wen qing HE'S SORRY

she will dom him so easily he will just be a Canadian Apology Loop for an hour while trying to force himself to eat soup

[weifinder]

its okay one does not simply stand up to wen qing one realises they are but silly mortals who need to listen to her advice and sometimes help her out in turn and also dont fail to tell her when ur injured she will Know

also

she's the best turnip cook around so

[foxable]

nods solemnly

we will respect her Amazingness and dutifully eat turnips
hopefully
will probably get distracted sorry wen qing
