text; once xxc is settled

[sizhui]

Cousin Ning. Xiao Daozhang is in the spare bedroom. He is very upset, I suspect he found out about Xue Yang.

[goodboyplaydead]

[ Honestly, Wen Ning still hasn't used his device for texting and doesn't really know how that even works. He's seen the notifications about new network messages flash from time to time and browsed a few. But he's never had reason to respond. This situation seems very different. ]

How do I answer him?

[ As if in response, the device flashes a symbol in the corner. Wen Ning doesn't recognize what the strange symbol a microphone is supposed to be. But he supposes that its presence means the device is listening to him. ]

Is this working? Are you on?

The former ruler of Sanguis moon received this picture and called it "junk mail." 8 days later Sanguis moon became uninhabitable. A man received this picture and immediately sent out copies, then received good fortune for an entire year, including winning a jackpot lottery. Copy, paste, and send this to 9 people or you will be cursed. Don't take any chances. Sanguis did, and now no one can live there.

[ Wen Ning is not entirely sure what this message is or why it's coming from Jin Ling, but the serious warning within alarms him enough to heed its words. Once he can figure out how to do this copy, paste and send thing... ]

[Video] After November Cordis

[beitangmoran]

Good day, I am Beitang Moran and I believe I... probably acted rather rudely towards you and made you buy me food while I was under the influence of my first Cordis Moon Cycle. I wanted to apologize for my behavior and also offer to reimburse the expenses I had you make on me account, if you would not mind.

[goodboyplaydead]

[ At least the moving picture display was less confusing than the words, even though Wen Ning doesn't understand the magic behind either of them. But it's hard to focus on that when the man calling himself by another name looks exactly like his master. His voice is slightly different, closer to that of the fox he met the other day. But the face is unmistakable. Who is this person? ]

You are... Beitang Moran?

[beitangmoran]

I am, yes. I realize I look a bit different from when we first met.

... Is everything alright? You look surprised.

[goodboyplaydead]

You... look like someone I know.

[ Exactly like someone he knows.

He would sound even more shocked, were he capable of conveying that tone through his voice. As such, he just sounds as even spoken as always. ]

[beitangmoran]

Ah. That would be Young Master Wei, wouldn't it? I have had the pleasure of meeting him too.

We do look remarkably similar. I can say for certain he looks exactly like I did when I was a few years younger.

I am sorry for the confusion.

[goodboyplaydead]

[ Wen Ning wonders how much more confusing this would be if his master still had his original body. He would be even older than this man then. ]

You met Young Master Wei?

[ He has no doubt that his master took the encounter much more calmly than Wen Ning is taking things now. Young Master Wei was usually better at handling startling developments. He probably even found it amusing after a time. ]

[beitangmoran]

I have, yes. Quite the pleasant young man, even if it is strange to say about someone who looks so much than myself.

But you haven't answered my original question.

[goodboyplaydead]

[ Wen Ning is ashamed to realize that in his confusion over Moran's look, he has completely forgotten the other question. He hangs his head a bit. ]

Ah, I apologize. I cannot remember what it was...

[beitangmoran]

[Moran smiles patiently.]

I would like to pay you back for the trouble I gave you back during the Cordis moon. What can I do for that?

[goodboyplaydead]

Ah, you do not need to do anything. I am glad I could help you.

[ Why do people always want to do things for him? He's not used to that at all. ]

[beitangmoran]

And I am very thankful you did, but really, it would not be right not to offer to pay you back, either with food or Chroma.

[goodboyplaydead]

[ Wen Ning knows it would be rude to refuse again. As awkward as he feels about people doing things for him, he does not want Moran to feel like he's losing face. ]

If it would make you happy, food would be fine. I do not really have a preference.

[ Since he doesn't actually need to eat. But he doesn't need to go into those details with Moran. ]

[beitangmoran]

No preferences? Are you sure?

Well, in that case I will do my best to find things that will satisfy and have them sent to you if I cannot come in person.

And thank you again for being patient with me back then. I know I was rather.... forceful.

[goodboyplaydead]

Most food tastes the same to me. I enjoy it nonetheless.

You were entirely yourself. I do not hold it against you.

[ Plus, Moran made a very cute fox. ]

[beitangmoran]

That's very kind of you.

I... rarely have any occasions to let loose, and it seems the moons saw fit to remedy that.

[goodboyplaydead]

[ OOC: Sob, that was supposed to be "You were not entirely yourself." ]

You are very different from the man you resemble.

[ His master is very good at "letting loose" after all. One might even say it's a common trait of his. ]

[beitangmoran]

((OOC: I figured.))

So I have been told. And so I have seen myself. We do have very different characters, it seems.

[If anything, Moran is closer in attitude to Lan WangJi, albeit more personable and approachable.]

You seem to be close to him.

[goodboyplaydead]

That makes sense. You are not the same person. You each have your own... approaches.

[beitangmoran]

Exactly.

I do have to admit it's a little strange seeing myself almost as I was a few years ago, but I do no think I was ever that energetic.

[goodboyplaydead]

It is difficult to have as much energy as Young Master Wei.

[beitangmoran]

So it would appear. The power of youth and not too many responsibilities.

[Moran only wishes he had had the opportunity to have such a carefree moment in his entire life.]

In any case, I will make sure to have some food delivered to you as soon as possible.
