I was able, with some help, to procure some spices. Wanyin, Wei Wuxian, and Xie Lian, please find me at your earliest convenience. Ruka, I have some cakes for you. Ah, and ... Wen Kexing, once you understand these devices, will you please get in contact with me too? We did not exchange details the morning after we split up. [ The morning after they shared a room, you deviants. ] Alternatively, if anyone knows this man, help me find him. He is tall and well-dressed with fine features.

Wangji. A check-in, please.

I ... did not ask the ghosts for millet, no.

[weifinder]

Glad tidings!

( no millet will be suffered today! )

What did they find that was acceptable?

[lanclan]

Oh, they prepared pork buns for you, Wanyin, and Wen Kexing to eat. I thought those would be easiest for them to prepare, along with some pumpkin pancakes. Vegetable dishes for Wangji, Sizhui, and myself ... some fruit and fresh water.

[weifinder]

I'm pleasantly surprised none of those had blood or hair snuck in, the rest of their recipes have had notable flaws.

( perhaps not quite so notable as xie lian's, somehow. that's a depth of understanding for another day. )

I'm also impressed at the number of decent supplies. You have them on their best behaviour!

[lanclan]

I gave them the choice of serving me untainted dishes or having the entire kitchen repeatedly purified.

[ Not exorcism of the ghosts, no, far more insidiously Xichen would have just made the entire kitchen reek of purity and his high level of cultivation. Absolutely gag-worthy for the spirits fated to haunt the place.

He can be scary in his own way, sometimes. A little. ]

The food is safe, I assure you.

[weifinder]

( that prompts him into laughing, and he does, for a good bit. )

When you have the energy to pour into making the dead uncomfortable with their own hauntings, so sly, Zewu-jun! One to not underestimate.

( genuinely meant, such as it is. )

At least half the baths are now too, in case you wish a lack of disruptions and longer periods before the particular twists of, ah, memory they have.

( long periods between bloody transformations to what they should be, longer periods unhaunted and pristine. )

[lanclan]

Ah, I do miss the bath-house now.

[ What a fool he was not to ever truly appreciate its hot, clean waters! ]

How likely is it that a bath will go uninterrupted?

[weifinder]

With my talismans placed, a half shichen. I recommend another one for the tub to prolong the water's heat or chill, depending on desire.

Which to anyone else listening, is an offer I extend to the lot of you, it's only been worked out consistently in the last few shichen as it is.

[lanclan]

Wei Wuxian is allotted first pick of the spices.

[weifinder]

( he laughs again, shaking an unseen head. )

No need, no need, I'll just gladly take half of whatever's hottest! Yancai spoiled me that way... you persevered through that well! As did Lan Zhan.

[downswing]

Wei Ying prospers on a diet of millet.

[weifinder]

No, Wei Ying prospered when the diet was broadened beyond millet. I have it on good personal authority.

[lanclan]

[ Oh my god, they really are married. ]

Wangji.

[downswing]

Brother.

[lanclan]

I do not need to know the trauma inflicted by millet.

[downswing]

He requires fattening. Limited options.

[lanclan]

I ... have no opinions on that and cannot help you.

[downswing]

A man of my stature, loose in my robes by two palms' thick. Unreasonable.

[lanclan]

How sad. Let me know if he blows away on the wind like the delicate haitang flower he is.

[downswing]

( JUST GOING TO KEEP TALKING. )


Perhaps brother's acquaintances may be troubled to search.

[weifinder]

Don't make me go scare the poor kitchen ghosts, I'll do it, I'll scare them away from millet delivery services and then everyone will have to suffer the same lack as you will!

[downswing]

You will not threaten spirits.

[weifinder]

I can glower very impressively at them!

[downswing]

I pity your stubbornness of pride.

[weifinder]

Pity or find irritating?
