un: dappled pearl of the parted seas [voice] - Your local Cassandra is back in town

[beitangmoran]

I know that ash is commonly used for cleaning, but I do not believe it is quite as effective on stone or hardwood floors. And if you'd like to burn something, the kitchen might not be the best place. We have room outside.

Also, I do believe there was talk about purifying the lake and the house after our... guests departed. Has more thought been put into that?

[And then, after a brief silence...]

Do we have a dog here?

((OOC: if you were in Moran's vicinity shortly before he made this post, congratulations, you were just treated to this light show.))

[ Immediately combative and defensive: ]

What of it? The dog.

[ Also how do you not know about the dog. It barks, Wei Wuxian screams. It's the size of a small horse. It's hard to miss. ]

[beitangmoran]

[He spends most his time in the study engrossed in books. Unless somehow the dog has been to the study and chewed on books, he's probably never even noticed it was there. Ask him when the last time he got out of the house was next.]

So we do have one? Does it run free outside the limits of the farm, or is it kept inside them?

[consignation]

His name is Zongzi and he stays in the farm, of course! Unless accompanied. There are dangerous creatures out there, he could be injured or worse.

Why?

[beitangmoran]

I suggest you keep a close eye on him, then.

[ Su Xunxian...

... will just bring him a cup of tea. ]

[consignation]

What part of anything I just said suggests I don't?! What are you going on about?

[beitangmoran]

He's going to get out. Into the woods.

[Moran sighs, massaging his temple, then takes the cup and has a few sips of it.]

Thank you.

... We'll see if this is a bit more useful this time.

No purification rites yet undertaken.

[consignation]

Is that a threat?!

[beitangmoran]

A piece of information, Master.... sorry what was your name again?

[consignation]

If you can't be bothered to remember by now, don't worry about it.

I fail to see how this is information.

[ But he's actively hugging his dog right now. ]

[beitangmoran]

... How long have you been here exactly? You're one of the most recent arrivals, I believe?

[So little introduction and Moran probably didn't mention his power and Stars is he tried of having to explain it to everyone. It's so much simpler in his orld where everyone knows it happens.]

I am the Star Master of the Aquarius, and my constellation gives me visions of the future. I saw a dog running in the woods. So, if it the dog we have on the premises right now, it is going to get out.

[topoiran]

My Lord...

You cannot consider yourself useless.

[beitangmoran]

How were you hoping to attend to them, Master Lan? Still set on salt?

[consignation]

[ Sure, sees the future, why not. This place is already so fucking weird. ]

Does he get into something? What else did you see?

[beitangmoran]

We both know that my visions do not necessarily help, Xunxian. Sometimes they do, and sometimes I understand too late.

[He's very conscious of the limits of his own power.]

[beitangmoran]

Just the dog running in the woods.

Ash on the kitchen floor.

The pond in the garden being salted.

Re: (voice)

[downswing]

One recourse.

(voice)

[beitangmoran]

And are you planning to do this to more than just the lake, then?

[consignation]

And this is significant because...?

perma type vs perma voice...!

[downswing]

Where else required?

[beitangmoran]

At the moment, I cannot tell you why. I just saw these things.

And my visions always happen. Whatever I see will happen at some point, one way or another.

[beitangmoran]

I don't know where else it is required, I just saw it happen somewhere else.

[consignation]

They always happen? So telling me to watch the dog more closely is just wasting your breath and my time because he's going to get out regardless?
