HELLO I'M FINALLY HERE

[resurging]

[all things considered, it didn't take too long to find sizhui's mail address. sure, it took some surreptitious snooping on his nephew, but it wasn't like he was looking at anything he hadn't already been appraised about. teenagers, you know? they wear their hearts so boldly on their sleeves all the time.

never mind that wei wuxian is not much older. that's an argument for another time.]

sizhui! may i call you sizhui? aah, i'm so sorry i took a while to reach you, will you forgive me? where are you?

-wheeze- HI!

[lanofsizhui]

[Well, it's not that hard considering he did left his message on the network public, and he is open to receive from anyone.

It's a good thing that many people has filled in Sizhui information, so he'll react accordingly. Seeing Wei Wuxian for the first time, he has a sense of...deja-vu, a sense of familiarity, but he can't place it. Can't remember. Still, he smiles brightly.]

Hello? Senior Wei? Of course! You can call me Sizhui. I am in my apartment right now. I was about to head out for lunch. If you like to come over and join me. I'm going to eat.

[left in a basket, with a bright red ribbon gently tied around its neck: a stuffed toy rabbit, a handful of loquats, and an envelope with coins. consider it a late present.]

<3

[lanofsizhui]

[omg who left this??? WHOMST???

Sizhui is working on moving into the Lan household and unpack his things in his bedroom. When he discovered the basket, there's no name attached? So who should he gives thanks?

Still, he smiles. He accepts it. He picks it up and examines the wonderful gift in appreciation. The rabbit will be resting on his bed, to be a nightly companion and guardian in his dreams. The coins will be saved for a rainy day. The loquats will be cut and sliced as a refreshing snack.]

[resurging]

[this is why sizhui is the best child.]

[lanofsizhui]

[Too bad he's oblivious of his struggle. If only he knew, then it's not too late to make up for lost time.

For now, the source of where the rabbit comes from shall remain a mystery.]

text; a day or so after the drunk horror movies night disaster

[sizhui]

Elder brother? Are you doing all right?

text;

[lanofsizhui]

Hm? Hey, I'm okay.

[He's just trying to detach about the whole thing. Not a big deal]

I'm out buying ice cream. Suddenly I'm having a craving for those

Do you want any? I'll bring you a carton or a box of cones

text;

[sizhui]

I'd like to share ice cream with you. Do you think you can find the address by now? You can meet Hanguang-jun's bunnies. They are from our Cloud Recesses...

[ Sizhui worries. He would have mentioned it if he had any idea his counterpart had wishes that way, but back at Dafan mountain, he had only first met Jin Ling, and while he wanted good things for the boy, he hadn't wanted him close the way he did later.

And nothing like he wants him now. ]

[lanofsizhui]

[So in the supermarket, he buys an extra box of ice cream to share with his brother and the household he lives with]

I would like that

[It would remind him of home and he feels a little bit unbalanced, so maybe if he visits, it will help ground and find his center]

Yes I'm coming over to visit if you don't mind
You can send the address

[downswing]

( A-sleuthing we will go to see which household member misplaced his communicator — )


You retain your device?

[lanofsizhui]

My device?

Secure and functional.

[downswing]

Gratitude.

You are well?

[lanofsizhui]

Today is quiet.

I'm reading books in my study.

[fanoperator]

I hear you've embraced a life of sin and depravity.

Please let me offer my congratulations.

[lanofsizhui]

Wrong number...?

[fanoperator]

My apologies, it seems that I heard this in reference to the *other* Sizhui.

[An hour later, at Sizhui's residence, there will be a delivery of liquor and pornography--in the traditional style from their world, though it does include some same-sex pairings.]

[lanofsizhui]

[He looks at the message in bewilderment, trying to figure out what it means]

The other Sizhui is not old enough for that yet. I am Sizhui the older. What's the occasion for celebration...?

[inheritedpain]

[ A little while after Sizhui contacted him.

He does not feel able to have this conversation over video, this time. ]

Jiang Cheng and Jiang Yanli of the other world have disappeared too.

text;

[lanofsizhui]

[A-Ling... Sizhui doesn't need a video to know and feel that he's grieving. Jiang Yanli is his mother. This is shocking news since not too long ago he attended her wedding. This departure is too soon. Yet for her to return home means...

His friends are hurting.]

Jin Ling, they're gone as well? Is there anything I can do for you?

[inheritedpain]

just

just don’t leave okay

i know i haven’t been the greatest friend in the world but

please don’t leave

[lanofsizhui]

Jin Ling,
I'm not going anywhere.

You're the best friend anyone can ask for.

If you have a need for me, give me a call.

Let me help and I'll do my best.

Don't be hard on yourself.

[downswing]

( THIS IS ALL ON YOUR MOTHER. )



I will wish to see your cultivation form.

[lanofsizhui]

[Senior Wei did nothing wrong. He is divine.

Sizhui was in the middle of tending to his plot in the community garden, so he panics by a little bit when he received the message. Is this a surprise test by his Father? He hasn't slacked in his cultivation skills. As one of the top Lan disciples and students, he never slacks in his training.

Either way, this probably means his evaluation on everything he learns is due.]

Do you require a demonstration? Just name the time and place.

[If only it would put his father's worries at ease and lay it to rest.]

[downswing]

At your discretion.
