video | un: water you docking aboat
[ enter one (1) startlingly (...supernaturally) attractive young man: long dark hair in a slightly crooked braid, very fine red clothing, silver jewelry.. though he's missing an eye, the other hidden behind a patch. and his skin is, well, completely bloodless. corpse-white, you might say. dead, someone else might agree.
and behind him, puttering around in the background at the stove, a certain well-meaning culinary disaster. hm. ]
If one has questions about powerful ghosts-- [ the corner of his mouth lifts, smile polite. ] --one might ask a ghost.. of some small strength. Yes? I won't claim that the ghosts here are precisely the same as my kind, but they seem like enough. [ he taps a black nail against his cheek, smile curling a little higher. ] I do suggest not throwing salt at them if you'd rather not be eaten out of sheer affront.
[ a pause, a shift, fingers trailing down his braid to rub absently over a small coral pearl wound into it, the action obviously contemplative. ] I.. may.. be able to detain one of these ghosts next it appears. If you agree which you'd like. I promise nothing. [ particularly if it would distress his highness in any way.
a brief glance back at xie lian, a wave of his hand to indicate him. ] My husband can verify most of what I say, should you not trust a Calamity's word. [ .. see, xie lian, he's being helpful. ]

[Here, have a bowl of ... whatever it is that was cooking.]

I'm not worried. I have my strong husband here to protect me.

[Then he could probably just punch whatever undead tries anything into dust, to be honest but...]
If we can catch a ghost, you probably can, and some of the cultivators have spells that can compel the truth from them.
no subject
You won't let me break them for you. We'll manage until others do. [ he rubs his thumb over the skin behind one of his husband's ears. ] Which ghost, do you think? The one that taunted you, were I to make the choice. The audacity of it.
no subject
This place has messed up time, life and death too much for me to risk you demanifesting now. I wouldn't be sure when you would come back or how, unlike back home.
... I don't know which one is easier to catch, but she won't come close to me again if you're here. I think others have seen her.
no subject
Nothing would keep me from you forever. I won't take the risk, though, not if it means leaving you alone again.
Say the word and I'll find her, if that's your wish.
no subject
[He's basically just thinking out loud.]
... isn't it weird how they're color-coded in the same way as Calamities? The black one even lives underwater like He Xuan did. Oh and wasn't there another one? The lumberjack? He actually interacts with people, I think, so he might be easier to approach.
