[ It has taken Lan Wangji a while to figure out how to use his communicator, and he only really started the attempt once he decided it might be of use to him. So he hasn’t been paying attention to the network, much. Forgive him. Now, though, he has questions that he cannot divine the answers to himself.

He needs a basis of knowledge here that he just doesn’t have.

He doesn’t know how to lock this from Wei Wuxian so he... just hopes the man doesn’t see it. ]

Questions:

Inner power - cultivated or gifted?

If cultivated: remains the same from home?

If given: boon or bane?

If granted a curse, is cure to be found?



Further questions:

How long imprisoned without dungeon or whip? Freedom only through chance - any hope of choice?

Availability of lotus seeds?

Best wine?

Is this like a survey?

-Kind of both?
-The stuff I could already do is the same but there's some extra now
-Boon

I don't know about the rest of that stuff sorry

[secondjade]

All answers welcome.

Extra?

[pullsheavendown]

I can make ice cream now. Like just with my hands, not a machine or ingredients or anything.
And the new paperwork said something about stuff I can do with my heart but I don't really understand it.

[secondjade]

Messy.


Description lacking?

[pullsheavendown]

Kinda yeah.
It said I can eject my heart from my body for a while.
But I know from experience that is not a good idea.

[secondjade]

Heart = organ?

Heart = spiritual core?

Either dangerous. One deadly.

[pullsheavendown]

Closer to the second thing.

[secondjade]

Less deadly. More dangerous.

Experience?

[pullsheavendown]

Yeah.
It's a thing that can happen where I come from.
Or maybe here too, but if it can, I never met anyone it happened to.
I don't know why the Porter would add it as a power but the Porter is weird.

[secondjade]

Possible, but rare. Home, if not here.

Porter = granter of power?

By will or fate?

[pullsheavendown]

That's the thing that brought us here.
They say powers come from the nanites? But it's all kind of tied together.
We couldn't do a lot of the stuff we do if it didn't put us here to start with.
I didn't pick anything about being here but I don't know if I believe in fate. Do you?

[secondjade]

Living being?

Nanites = healing spirits of the blood, given by hosts. Also source of power?


Fate, yes.

Changing it, also.

[pullsheavendown]

It's a machine but it's got some kind of power inside it.
Yeah sure something like that.

Huh. You know, I like the way you think.

[secondjade]

Machines foreign. Attempting learning.


Unusual thought?

[pullsheavendown]

I'm not sure what kinds of thoughts are unusual.
I just don't like the idea of people being stuck doing something because some outside force says they should.

[secondjade]

They should not.

Will dictated from within.

Some fate unavoidable, but impossible to know which until attempt is made.

[pullsheavendown]

It sounds simple when you put it like that.

[secondjade]

Never simple.

Fate is wholly unpredictable.

But meeting it with will is the only answer.

[pullsheavendown]

Huh.

I like you.

[secondjade]

Name?

[ He's not used to the whole username feature, and 'Roxas' doesn't mean anything to him... ]

[pullsheavendown]

I'm Roxas.

[secondjade]

Family name?

[pullsheavendown]

Font have one.

[secondjade]

[ There's a long pause. ]

Ever had?

[pullsheavendown]

[There's a longer pause.]

No.
