I'm just going to not breathe. I'm going to be like 😱 and pass out and when I wake up, maybe this will be over. If you have to carry me out, don't drop me in the snow.
So dramatic! If I have to carry you I will make sure to drop you in plenty of snow. Do the breathing, it's good, I promise, especially if you're cold. Add more flames if it's not hard enough to think about. The outside world will still be there when you can get back out to it, it probably won't even take long.
Maybe I want to be dramatic! It's better. [Better than feeling trapped and scared.]
I can't believe you would treat me so disrespectfully. Sand cultivators don't belong in the snow. What if I shrink more? Like a cotton blouse. Except I guess the water is cold and not hot, so I won't shrink, but I will still be unhappy.
You're right, as usual. But don't tell anyone I said.
I thought you'd be passed out? So you won't know the difference, and I was planning on dropping you respectfully. But I guess I can avoid it, if it stops you from shrinking out of existence. Hey look at it this way, your 🤡 roommate is probably also hating this. Stay awake out of spite. Burn her belongings for warmth. Think about soup.
I'm telling everyone. A public bulletin. Wei Wuxian said I was right, which makes me the most correct in existence.
She doesn't seem nearly as bothered, and I hate it. I can't burn her things because she'll probably burn my things, and I care about my things a lot more than I care about her things.
But she also hates my pacing, so I'm going to keep doing that.
How is soup going to help? Do I get soup for being traumatized by snow? I'm delicate, I need soup promises. 🥺🥺🥺 Are there noodles for bad experiences like there are for birthdays?
Pacing probably isn't as good as my suggestion, but as long as it's helping, I guess. The spite is worth something, anyway.
Delicate sand cultivator, that's a new one! Sometimes noodles have stories associated that include bad experiences, but I don't know of any noodles entirely for that. But probably all soup is good for being traumatized by snow, and noodles can't hurt. I think traumatized by snow noodles should be spicy, for a start. Does this count as a soup promise? 🍲🤝? Thinking about future soup is maybe just as good as thinking about past soup.
I will accept spicy noodle soup as soup promised. 🍜🌶️🤝 Can I imagine that I'm blowing on soup instead of a flame? ☁️ said that I should practice my form, so I can't do both at once, but I am collecting options. I will try them and see which one is less embarrassing.
You have to understand that was a very funny thing you just said.
You weren't supposed to be blowing on the flame, just breathing carefully in the vicinity of it! You can imagine that you are breathing very calmly on the soup and not making any ripples. 🚫🌬️
So mean. What is that supposed to accomplish? Keep her from seeing the pacing? Maybe she needs blinders.
Was it??? It was a very *correct* thing I said, but you'll have to explain it to me.
Why 🚫🌬️??? If I could calmly blow on the soup, I wouldn't have two people telling me how to calm down! I'm going to blow so hard that there won't be any soup left in the bowl!!!
To keep her from making fun of me. If she can't see me doing these things, she can't laugh about me having to do them.
I don't and I won't! If I'm so correct I don't even need to.
I'm seriously rethinking if you're ready for soup promises. Maybe the soup is for me in honor of my heroic rescuing.
She shouldn't laugh either way! What's she doing to get free, anything?? If she makes fun of you she will surely have regrets (that will be hilarious).
Fine, don't explain it! We're both a million times more right than anything else, it's amazing we haven't collapsed into a correctness singularity!!!
Too late, you can't take soup promises back. The 🥣 is for both of us in our trying times. For me being buried in snow, and for you losing feeling in your feet when there's light boards attached to them. Thank you for your sacrifice.
What sort of regrets is she going to have? Are you going to haunt her? She deserves a good haunting... is what I would say if I wasn't being a courteous roommate who doesn't curse her.
That doesn't sound like being more correct. I like the door idea better. What if I sat on the door, and you pulled me? 😈🥺
If you can feel them, why do you have to look at them when you walk? ☁️ showed me a picture. You look like you're trying to step on a spider, but the spider is also almost as big as me.
Is that how it works? I think it still reflects on me if I'm your friend and you're doing it because of me. At least, that's how she'll probably see it.
Making faces! We have to dig you out from the snow like a valuable vegetable first. But then, sure. Has to be your door though, we didn't bring ours.
I can't believe Lan Zhan would just do something like that when I'm being so righteous. That's what the high steps are, righteousness. And I'd like to see you do better, you're not from a snowy place either! 🚫🕷️
She won't see it, there will be ghosts in the way.
I don't want to use my door. Maybe ☁️ can make a board like he made ones for your feet. Then I'll sit on that, and you can pull it! Like a valuable vegetable. ✨🍠✨ Put me on a wagon and take me to the fair. You'd win first place. 🥇
Is it righteous to touch your knees to your chin when you walk? Do you have to look at your feet to make sure they're behaving? You don't know where I'm from. I could be from a mountain too, for all you know! 😈⛰️!
That sounds fair. You're really turning around on the idea of ❄️, huh? I'm not sure I'd win a contest with you as a vegetable, there's probably bigger ones.
If you were from 😈⛰️ you wouldn't be like this! Not about snow and probably not in general. There'd be a whole wall of rules just for you and it would start with 'no bullying.'
One thing at a time! First ❄️ then 👻. Though if I really wanted to combine the two I should just use 👻 to get you out.
❄️ is better when I'm on top of it and not buried underneath it! And I would be a perfectly good vegetable! An excellent one! I would be so good, I would triple the prize! 🥇🥇🥇!!!
You don't know what's on my wall. I already started one! It has plenty of good rules. Bullying is allowed so long as it's funny.
What do I have to do to get rescued by ❄️👻??? Not that I don't already have one very good 👻 coming to get me! ♥
I guess we'll see when we've dug you out, won't we.
😈⛰️ sounds like a lot of fun. Maybe we can build it out of ❄️ once you're free. What are the other rules? So I can follow them.
Very good 👻!! I don't know if ❄️👻 will be necessary, but maybe you don't have to do anything. Depends on how lazy I feel and if I can find 👻 to put in ❄️. I also have some structural concerns, 🍖 is probably the ideal for ❄️ removal, unless you just make ❄️👻 so they can remove themselves.
You know most of the rules already! If you're a 👻, you have to tell me. 🍖 is allowed. No murder. 😈 will not shove 👻 into a lake.
I think the only one you haven't heard is the one I told to ☁️ a long time ago. 👻 is required to remain in this present incarnation. I said I'd add it to his wall, too. In hind sight, it might have been important to inform you of that one, but you've already been doing a very good job of following it.
If you can use 👻 to make the ❄️ remove itself, I will be very impressed. That's a bonus, right? We wouldn't even have to build 😈⛰️ out of ❄️ either. It could build itself.
I thought the rule was that 👻 won't shove 😈 into a lake? I would never say not to shove me. And I can't believe you said to put that on the ☁️⛰️ wall! 🙀🙀🙀
Well I don't know if I can, I've never done that before. 🚫❄️ and all. Not enough to put 👻 in anyway. And ☁️ may not be so in favour of the idea. Though he'd probably prefer it to 🍖👻❄️➡️. But he's done so much already, shouldn't I also?
I like the 👻 rule wall! Optional rules are the best kind of rules. 😈🤭
I have proof you know! I wouldn't say something so ridiculous if I couldn't prove it happened. 👻 doesn't trust 👿 at all...
We both deserve all kinds of magic, but couldn't you just tell him it was a special talisman? That wouldn't be too strange, right? Certainly no stranger than ❄️👻!
[The cut-off point of that message is killing him, but he's a little occupied with buoying Klaudia's spirits and snow-traversing, and besides. Whatever Lan Zhan 'only' asks of his death or next life is probably as sensible as it is out of his hands.]
I trust 👿!!! Be 😈!!! But at least you admit it's a ridiculous thing you have to have proof to even say. But good for Lan Zhan, you shouldn't only get ✅ from me. Those should probably count double to mine anyway.
I think he understands that even my talismans are very unfairly limited here! Lan Zhan is simply too smart to fool with ❄️👻. You saw the snow shoes, right? That was very smart, even if the door would be more fun.
😈!!! ✅ from a 👻 count just as much as ones from ☁️. If the ✅ are rain, then it falls on everyone the same, right? They are both equally good, and I will frame them and hang them on my wall.
If ☁️ gets to be smart with ❄️👞, then 👻 should get to be smart with ❄️👻. I'm going to make that a rule, too.

And what's not to believe??? I got a ☁️✅ for it! 👍😈!!! If there's 4,000 rules and they're missing that one, than it's not a good rule wall.
...Maybe keep the 👻❄️ a secret, though. Take his 👻 talisman back. Make the 👻s invisible again. Then ☁️ will only see the ❄️ moving.
no subject
A ☁️✅? No you didn't! I refuse to believe this. I don't think he's ever even sent me a little picture message. I won't stand for this slight.
I think ☁️ might notice and even be suspicious if I spontaneously developed ❄️ magic. Even if I deserve it and all of the other types of magic too.
