No tricks?
That's something someone who plans on playing tricks would say.

[SOUNDS FUCKING FISHY, TECHNICIANS.]

[legbreakings]

I don't trust it either.

[porndealer]

You're not going right? Or Jiang-guniang?

It has to be something bad.

[legbreakings]

I'm not sure. I don't want to go but I feel like I should, they might need fighters there. But I hope A-Jie doesn't want to go.

[porndealer]

If they need fighters there then I definitely shouldn't go.

Jiang-guniang shouldn't either, but it's not my place to tell her what she can do.

[legbreakings]

Neither is it mine so... I guess I will go if she wants to go. Otherwise I'm not too keen on going. I'm sure something awful will happen.

[porndealer]

If everything is okay...

You should bring me back some food and drink. As my good friend.

[legbreakings]

So lazy! But fine. If I go, I will bring you some. But I won't deliver it to your house, you can come eat it at our place.

[porndealer]

Lazy? You mean cautious.

I suppose if you won't bring it to me I'd be honored to share a meal with Jiang sect.

[legbreakings]

As you should!

Even though an actual Jiang meal would be even better, I doubt anything they make can compare to A-Jie's cooking!

[porndealer]

Nothing could!

I would bet coin on it.

[legbreakings]

That is the correct answer to get you invited to dinner.

[porndealer]

Good. Cause I'm hungry now.

[legbreakings]

[ Amused eyeroll time. ]

Just don't get used to us feeding you, unless you WANT me to put you to work helping me with fishing.

[porndealer]

Is my pleasant company not payment enough, Jiang-xiong?

[He would bat his lashes if they were talking face to face.]

[legbreakings]

[ Is he really expecting him to be nice? ]

No, it's not

[porndealer]

[Never. Play along with his teasing and playfulness? Maybe.]

It was worth a try.

What if I bring more alcohol?

[legbreakings]

You should have said that right away. Alcohol is always an acceptable payment! Make it the good stuff, none of that fruity spritzy shit.

[porndealer]

What's wrong with the fruity stuff!?

As long as it's not the "wine" they try to pass off here then fruity is perfectly acceptable. I bet Jiang-guniang would agree!

[legbreakings]

What is NOT wrong with the fruity shit?

Some of it tastes alright but I want to get drunk, not drink liquid fruit.

[porndealer]

I'll bring the fruity stuff for those of us with good taste.

Of course I'll bring something for you too, Jiang-xiong.

[legbreakings]

You better! I'd kick you out if you didn't bring anything I like. Or throw you into the lake.

[porndealer]

Jiang-zongzhu is so cruel.

[legbreakings]

HOW

I'm not even kicking you out unless you deserve it

[porndealer]

Jiang-xiong Jiang-xiong you are so serious!

I was just joking.

But I would never deserve it :)

[legbreakings]

If I were being serious I would already be plotting how to throw you into the lake. Which I'm not. So you should be grateful and not complaining!

And you are deserving it all the time.

[porndealer]

If you ever become serious about this, be sure to think of how to save me once I'm drowning.

Are you sure :) :)?

[He does not use emojis enough. He must fix this.]

[legbreakings]

What is that symbol?

I said I'd throw you into the lake I didn't say I'd let you drown!

[porndealer]

Oh so you will let me flounder about and fish me out before I drown then? I am most thankful for your compassion.

It's a smiling face! See it's the eyes and then a smiling mouth.

:)

[legbreakings]

That's a silly face

And yes, I will let you flounder a bit before I save you. It's funnier that way!

[porndealer]

There are many funny faces you can make, I just like that one the most.

Funny for you! I will catch a cold being thrown in the lake and perish.

[legbreakings]

You won't die from being thrown into a cold lake! Are you a man or not! Don't be whiny!

[porndealer]

If I die don't say I didn't say so.

[legbreakings]

If you die I'll mourn for you. Better?

@xiao.xingchen

[daozhangs]

Nie Huaisang,

My name is Xiao Xingchen. If you recall meeting me, hello again. If not, I am a daozhang who travels alongside Song Lan. We meet in your future and part on good terms.

I plan to attend the gathering. It would be no trouble to send you word, should it prove to be safe.

Xiao Xingchen

[porndealer]

[O-Oh! He knew Song Lan was here, but Xiao Xingchen too? He's so behind on things, it's absolutely embarrassing.]

Daozhang, greetings. Of course of course, I remember our meeting very clearly.

[How could he forget how timid and awkward he'd been around the two daozhangs? Meng Yao had had to basically play Huaisang's role during the whole meeting.]

Thank you, I would trust your word. Both yours and Daozhang Song Lan.

[daozhangs]

Then I will do so.

( and that's all he says, at least until about an hour after he arrives at the feast - long enough that he's confident in following up with, )

The meal is benign and quite delicious, if overly strong in flavor.

( pardon him and his light daozhang diet. )

I haven't assessed the spirits, but others seem to experience no ill effects after drinking them.

[porndealer]

[He feels bad that the daozhang is going out of his way to do this for him. Regardless Huaisang won't be coming to the party, he doesn't trust it, much like Song Lan, but he's not brave enough to show up just in case things go sideways.]

Thank you for your time, daozhang. It's good everything is well there.

I hope you've been well since arriving? Things can be strange and very bad here.

Not that I don't think you couldn't handle it. We're lucky to have such skilled cultivators here with us.

[daozhangs]

I have been well, thank you.

And yourself?

[porndealer]

mostly well. Staying out of danger as best as I can.

You never know what could be bad here.

[He'd whine about his arm and trying to make sure he doesn't lose the other one, but he feels so weird talking to the daozhang. Timid awkward small talk it is!]
