Yes, I can read it! Is everything alright, your highness? Why are you writing here?

[suicideprototype]

Shi-san. I hope you've been doing well.
I have good news and bad news that I'd like to report.
Firstly, despite my jesting, I'd like to report that Eiji Biwasaka is a reliable ally. Though his ego may be massive, he has the skills to back it up. When it comes to matters of gathering information, there is no one more resourceful.
Secondly, my power to suppress brainwashing... It doesn't appear to be gone, but it would seem that its effects here have diminished significantly. I could not find any way to alleviate the symptoms of the moon phases. This may be due to the fact that our very genetic makeup appears to have been affected by our coming here. I hope to look into methods to retain my humanity in the coming months.

[winepouring]

Shikishima-xiong.

It's good to hear from you! Please don't worry about Sir Biwasaka. I never looked down on him. He must be a very close friend of yours, and I'm glad that we can count such a skilled and dependable person as an ally. Gathering information is incredibly useful in our current situation.

Although with regards to your abilities, I have to say, that's rather troubling. While it's undeniable that our physiology is affected by the moon phases, to think that your ability can't even touch the mental effects that go along with them may mean your ability has been weakened, but it may also mean the power of the moon phases is simply more than it can handle.

If it's the second case, I wonder if there might be a way to even that out and limit the moons' influence. I would like to look into different methods to help people limit the effects of the moon phases as well, and I will do what I can to help you keep a clear head here. We'll find something!

By the way: For the record, my own abilities seem to work just fine still, but I do notice that using them drains my chroma supply. I'm still going to use them, but I can't guarantee my chroma will last as long as my own spiritual power does. That's a little distressing as well, to be honest with you; I can sense my spiritual power, but I can't sense the chroma.

[suicideprototype]

I see; that may explain why my own abilities have been dulled, at least in part. It seems chroma is something that everything in this world operates on, whether one is native to this world or not. To put it another way, it almost feels like this world is trying to... assimilate us? For lack of a better term. The natives have been extraordinarily unhelpful in helping me understand how this works - and how to stop it - but I suppose that's only to be expected, given that they need our compliance. To that end, I've also been slightly concerned about the privacy of our communications, truth be told.

Regarding chroma depletion, if it helps, Biwasaka-senpai and I have been testing the boundaries of what can earn one chroma. I've been getting by with minimal physical contact - even something as simple as a pat on the head will help to gather chroma, though, admittedly, the amount it gives leaves something to be desired.

incense burning time~

[necrowed]

[ it admittedly took him a bit too long to find the proper incense, and the proper materials for something of the kind. in part, it's silly how seriously he is taking this, but wei wuxian, despite all that he is, he is hardly disrespectful towards those that deserve proper respect. the lack of a proper altar is upsetting, but — thankfully with the amount of chroma he has earned — at the very least, an urn was purchased alongside the incense.

he finds a proper place amidst some flora in level two for this; sets up everything with care and attention, prostates as necessary, and smiles to himself in mild excitement. ]

God Shi Qingxuan, this Wei Wuxian has come to disturb you for a while. It has been brought to his attention that you are a God able to teach people a sex-switching spell. Forgive his greed if you may, but he has some interest in learning the spell as well. It was his Shizun [ sorry shen qingqiu, he won't let this go, ] who instructed him to light some incense to you, and as such, he would be grateful for your assistance.

[winepouring]

[ ooc: I'm going to be very slow with tags for a bit for reasons, but I already had this one written the other day, so- /tags. ]

[ He didn't need to namedrop Shen Qingqiu like that, but since he did, Shi Qingxuan feels her heart warm. Qingqiu! What a wonderful friend! Instructing his good disciple to pray to her for this!!

The response from her isn't immediate. It's no longer every day that she gets a prayer, after all, and she wants to look good. Do up her hair with some pretty combs and pins, apply a bit of makeup, put on a particularly fine dress, drape her favorite pibo across her shoulders... Look like a proper, shining Lady Wind Master!

Fully satisfied with her appearance, she...simply appears, floating down on a breeze, as one does. (She flew there.) ]

Wei Wuxian?

[ Not that she imagines anyone else would be at a little, little shrine like this. And in black, too, which seems to be a trend for Shen Qingqiu's disciples, she's noticed.

But, ah, was this shrine here before? Did he make this?

It's actually...very cute? It's definitely cute! A little shrine in such a pretty place... Compared to the shrines that are built for her with gold and ornate alters and tall statues, this one is so little and sincere, she can't help but smile. She's touched!

The amused smile that comes to her face that is soon hidden by a fan. ]

It's Wei Wuxian, is it? Your shizun was correct. Thank you for your prayer. [ She inclines her head, and then she smiles at him excitedly. ] I would be happy to teach you any spell you wish and provide any other assistance you may need in this area in particular!

[ ...If he just silently said, "Oh Lord Wind Master, please teach me how to take a female form!", the result would have been the same, but she appreciates the extra effort on both Wei Wuxian's and Shen Qingqiu's parts. ]

[necrowed]

( TAKE YOUR TIME.. i'm very slow myself, as it's.. very.. easy to notice. cries )

[ it's less that he is surprised that it has worked, but more that even in such a place, deities really do exist, and answer to his calls like one would back in his world. he doesn't even truly know what he expected, what sort of god would answer his call, if any would. he doesn't expect one so well dressed, beautiful in every shape and form, and can hardly imagine how shen qingqiu has met her at all, and what his thoughts had been then.

(ironically, however, he can easily see how her appearance would be one to his liking, and how he would notice the little details in her outfit, her make up and hair that wei wuxian misses altogether. he has much to learn yet.) ]

Yes. Wei Ying, courtesy name Wuxian at your service. It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance, Lord Wind Master.

[ a respectful bow, and despite wei wuxian's inane nature, none of it shows in the respect he presents at one who rightfully deserves it. he knows well to show respect where it's due. ]

You're very kind, but I haven't come here to be greedy. My Shizun would disapprove of me as well if I were to take more than what I intended.

[ though — in all fairness — he does have some lingering curiosity on what other spells she might know? mo xuanyu has never really developed a golden core for him to take back the orthodox cultivation, and demonic cultivation doesn't quite work in a place without corpses. the more spells he learns (whether useful or not), the best, right? ]

... However, if there is anything else you'd personally wish to teach me, it would be unbecoming of me to refute your kindness!

action | prisma new years eve, morning

[inuko]

[ He's never been so happy to be only on two feet, but since the end of three woof moons earlier in the month he's been practically ecstatic. Today he's up before noon, a bounce in his step, and three packages in his arms that are decorated in whatever paper he'd picked out when he decided he should wrap the new year presents.

He shifts the packages in his arms, grinning before knocking on Windy's (and Xie Lian's) door. ]

[winepouring]

[ It might be the door to also Xie Lian's apartment, but Shi Qingxuan is the one who answers!

Today it's female form Shi Qingxuan because it's the day before New Year, and she wants to look good for the day itself. That's to say, she was trying out different outfit/hairstyle combinations, and she's greeting Shino at the door with her hair pinned up with gold hairpins but her usual sort of white robes.

Seeing her friend, though (and! presents!!), she's all smiles. ]

Shino! Ah, here, come in, come in. I'll make you tea.

[ Yep, being pulled directly inside by the arm. ]

action;

[inuko]

[ Things have been chaotic between the kids at the daycare and the temporal anomalies in the city. Children growing up in the blink of an eye, or turning into infants, was as unhelpful as the caretakers doing the same, and his Moon Knight side job is anything but a side job lately.

Still, he's here with Shi Qingxuan right now, arms wrapped around him and face buried in his back in a moment where he's simply breathing. They're on the bed, less for any particular reason and more because it's easier to lounge on, and he half wants to crawl into Shi Qingxuan's lap and just stay there for a while.

His mind shifts from topic to topic, not lingering overlong on any. Xie Lian is one that mixes in with tiredness and the pleasantness of Shi Qingxuan's warmth, and then he's thinking about the date he'd been brought out on not long before, and he finally manages more than the grunts of acknowledgment he's been handling up until then. ]

Mm, Windy? How do you feel about Xie Lian?

[ He shifts closer, resting his chin on Shi Qingxuan's shoulder. He keeps his eyes closed for now, only slitting them open lazily when he feels Shi Qingxuan's hair tickle his cheek as he moves. ]

[winepouring]

[ It's nice cuddling with Shino. He's a comforting presence at his back, and when he can intertwine his fingers with Shino's over his waist, he's especially content. There is a lot happening and a lot that has been happening. The wine shop - and Caihong in general - has experienced a lot of chaos in the last few weeks in particular, and while he's not part of any organization, he isn't keen on just letting things go as they are.

Ah, it's a headache that he's glad he has Shino's warmth to soothe it away. His thumb draws little circles over Shino's knuckles, mind drifting when Shino breaks the silence. ]

Hm? Xie-xiong?

[ He blinks his eyes open but doesn't move much more than that. What a random question... Xie Lian and Shino are coworkers, and Xie Lian and himself are heavenly colleagues who have lived together for months now. He supposes it's a relatively normal question to ask. And so, with a smile, he plays with Shino's fingers as he answers: ]

Xie-xiong is my best friend. He's caring and just, and he's very fun and easygoing. We actually hadn't known each other for very long before we came here, but I have to say, I really like him!

[ He unhooks their fingers to change his hold, putting their hands palm-to-palm. ]

Why do you ask?

white day

[bust]

[ Even though White Day doesn't exist in Prismatica, Ayer's pride is too strong to be giving gifts last month. He purposely waits until now to do anything related to the Coiled Hearts celebrations.

Sent to Shi Qingxuan is an assortment of cupcakes in a modest-looking box. As always, Ayer doesn't bother to sign his presents. There's only the recipient's name on the simple card, in his cursive handwriting. ]

Charity Ball Date Auction

[mayoninofukucho]

[Hijikata sees this well-dressed young person walk up to his hologram display, read the godawful shitty description, and still place a bid.]

Ah... excuse me! May I have a word with you?!

[This is bad. Who the hell would bid on such a crappy date offer with such a happy face? Surely only a sadist. He would know, after all that crude text was written by one. Damn it, Okita. Why was he punished with such a subordinate? But for now he needs to focus on doing some preemptive damage control with the bidder.]

[winepouring]

Oh!

[ Shi Qingxuan turns around, smiling with a fan with the word wind is written across the front held before her chest.

Ah, he sounds how he looks, too. ]

Hello. It's Mister Hijikata, isn't it? I wasn't expecting to meet you so soon.

[ ...Yep, just skipping over the fact she bid on a date listing that said he pleasures himself with mayonnaise. Go ahead and have your word!! ]

[resurging]

[consider this a declaration of intent: wei wuxian, self-aware and appropriately versed in the comedies of shameless enticement, is inviting one and all (for some measure of all, as he is only one man with two hands) to take part in a little... experiment.]

as the snow thaws,
as new grass springs from the earth,
as the sun rises, warmer—
i offer my hand to hold,
without question,
without judgment.

-

a favor for a favor: a confidence, a deed, or a kiss. my ask: a child's toy for gusu lan's hanguang-jun, in honor of his fatherhood.

[winepouring]

[ Is this a prayer? This is clearly a prayer intended for the Lady Wind Master!!

And so, Shi Qingxuan answers it as she would a prayer: By leaving the requested gift in the hands of the only Lan she knows.

Charity Ball Date Auction

[prettiestsnake]

((Congratulations! You're a winner! Well... everyone who bid on Yanyou is a winner, since he absolutely will not accept any explanation that he's only supposed to go on a date with ONE of the people who expressed interest in dating him. He will seek you out at the charity ball if he can find you, or he may simply text you the time and location for your date:

I'm excited to go on our date! Will you meet me at The Dragon's Den on Level One?

text; un: sesshomaru

[fashionicon]

[ Guess who finally figured out texting? This demon. Why? Because he didn't want anyone to hear anything that might be concern in his voice. It was learned out of necessity. ]

Did you and foolish brother stay out of trouble or were you incapable of proper thought while I had been away?

text; un: windmaster

[winepouring]

[ ?!

What a "I'm back!" message to receive... Shi Qingxuan needs to curb his offense remembering that Sesshomaru isn't actually referring to his brother here. Haa... ]

We're very well. Thank you for checking in with my family, Lord Sesshomaru. I hope you've been in good health as well?

That aside, there's no need to use insults against us! We're both grown men who are perfectly capable of taking care of ourselves!

prayer right after de-deertauring last event

[inuko]

Oh Great and Powerful Wind Master, where are you?

[ This he says while at his own apartment, fully human again for the first time in a while, exhausted on various levels, and brushing out his fresh out of bathing still damp hair. In long, soothing, repetitive strokes. ]

Your not so humble Inuzuka Shino would ask for some of your spare time, if you have any. Please.

[winepouring]

[ Not at all humble is right!

Still, it's always nice to hear Shino's voice, the sound of it by his ears soothing, though he can hear the strain in its tone. It has been a time again... Without Shino saying it, Shi Qingxuan knows where he is, and so, after packing some small things into his sleeves, he "descends."

That is, he lets himself into Shino's apartment and closes the door behind him before calling out. ]

This Wind Master has heard your prayer and will grant his bold Inuzuka Shino all of his free time.

[huaisang]

Wind Master, your wine selection truly is the best. What would I do without you?

[winepouring]

Hahaha! Thank you, Hua-chengzhu also helps pick these out. [ if this is in person, Shi Qingxuan will top off his glass. ] And as long as we're both here, you don't need to consider what you'd do without me! This Wind Master will always be here to make sure you know where to find good wine!
