( Dark and damp and Lan Wangji's pallor strained under moonlight. Behind him, flickers of broad, long temple columns — and the smoke smears of... ghosts, gathered. He seems short of breath, the silvered sheen of his sword half drawn from her scabbard, a spate of parchment papers littering the walls: active talismans. )
They have crowded their halls of the dead, to excess.
Here, the key withholds itself. Who hunts the other locations?
( And a pause, hesitant — whether to find his words or, absently, slap another talisman on the spirit that looms with a gaping maw behind him. ) Ke-Waihu stands safe?

By all definitions, it's still standing.
Maybe a little crispy in places,
but I'm pretty sure the volcano is going to eventually make everything
a lot crispy in places.

but no one's resorted to cannibalism or mass hysteria yet if that's what you mean.

And I don't really need weapons to protect myself.
I prefer a more effective method of ghost-busting.

I had a radiant tux in mind and all these wonderful floral decor ideas.
I don't think I need to bore you with the details when you're in such a precarious
situation.
Not unless you really want me to take your mind off it.

What skills do you bring?

I assume he's back home, safe in the apartment, probably wondering where I am.
And fancy you should ask, are you familiar with warlocks in your world?

Say it with me: w-a-r-l-o-c-k-s.
I prefer to leave the dead where they are for good reason.
no subject
Elaborate.

Let's just say I do a lot of magic.
Just about everything else that isn't raising or talking to the dead.
Pull a rabbit out of a hat, portal wayward travelers around the globe, refresh someone's wardrobe for spring, summon demons onto Earth, you know, the usual.

Your aid invaluable.

I assume I was brought here for a reason.
Probably to save yet another world from devastation.
You know, I really need to raise my asking rate.

Peace rarely lasts.
When you've lived as long as I have–

I've been going on and on about my credentials, and I didn't even get your name or your details.
Clearly, you're some kind of spiritual medium from the use of talismans, so you already have some familiarity with the supernatural.
