You have to know that only makes me more curious, but fine, don't tell a 👻. I mostly just wanted to be sure it was a real thing he said that would apply here and not how sometimes you use things he said to bully me.
☁️ does have superpowers but also this person is a stranger, and strangers aren't the best targets for advice, even from heroic sand cultivators who are passing on ☁️ wisdom. Have you just asked her why she's so stubborn about it? Maybe there's a reason, or she thinks there is. Do you want to help, or be right? Or just put a curse on her?
🚫⚔️! If I'm being a 👻👶 then you're a 👿👶 for threatening to ➡️🌳🌳🌳 about things! And how do you even know I'm being a 👻👶? So far everything I've said has been so mature and thoughtful. It's not a problem if I'm there so much, but maybe more would be, right? Like your new 🤡 friend might not be so bad to wind up sitting next to and having a drink, right? Even if you didn't choose that. But this, you didn't get to pick either, and it's awful. Lan Zhan didn't actually get to pick any of this, and if I live there won't it draw attention to that?
I don't have to use things that ☁️ says to bully you, I can do that on my own.
If I had my choice, I would be right and helpful and *also* put a curse on her. ✅🙏☠️ Should it matter if I'm a stranger? If a stranger says a ✅ thing, then it's still ✅. I can ask her, but that is not going to illuminate anything. The person is her sister. None of it is good, and she should dump the whole thing in the bay. This is the most ✅ course of action. Objectively.
You're being a 👻👶 because you're being very silly. ☁️ is not at all like 💅🤡. ☁️ is intelligent and reasonable and doesn't tell lies or keep secrets, right? 👻 is also intelligent and mostly reasonable (except right now), so wouldn't that mean you could both figure it out together? Without being unreasonable about it? That doesn't sound awful at all.
Do you want me to poke around about what ☁️ thinks? I can be very subtle about it! Like a spy! I can be a 👻 spy and report back on what I find. 😈🤫👍
Yes, the bay is probably the only way. Klaudia is as ✅ as ever! But knowing it's her sister that is telling her to be a certain way makes it sound even more like you, a helpful correct stranger, won't be listened to. Family is like that for a lot of people. You've done what you can, except for the curse part, which there's still time for.
That all makes a kind of sense. Though to be honest the first thing you said was more persuasive. 👻 are better than strangers even if it's reasonable to not want to live with either one.
Now who's being deceptive?? How can Hanguang-jun room with a ghost who sends sneaky minions to spy on him?? 🙀🙀🙀 That said, I am very touched.
I don't know what "like that" is, but I will get a lot of curses ready. I'll probably need them before the week is done. ☠️☠️☠️
You're right, 👻 are better than strangers; and yet you are still complaining! I have never heard someone complain so much about being ✅ about the right things and ❌ about everything else. 👿😩
I'm not being deceptive! Or spying! I am not telling any lies or looking at things that I shouldn't. I'm only asking questions, which is what I always do, according to you. And ☁️ likes when I ask questions, for some reason that I will allow to be ✅!
"Like that" as in a lot of things, really. Hard to stand up to, hard to ignore, hard to please. Or maybe I'm giving her way too much credit and she's just trying to get cursed. Maybe if you curse her you'll be giving her what she wants.
Oh so it wouldn't be spying? You said you would spy! It's right there in words! 👻😩
The worst part is, it could work. That's what makes it wrong though, the trust! You've established yourself as a questions asker so he'll never see it coming, both due to his ✅ nature and your careful habituation.
Oh. Usually when people talk about family, it's not like that. It's like... "We're family" and that's supposed to mean certain things. Good things, I guess. I don't think I've heard anyone talk about it like that.
I did say spy, but only in name! Like how 👻 is a 👻 but also not actually a 👻. Right?
You are making this all sound very bad, and that is making me start to think I am doing something bad! When all I am doing is confirming that you're being a silly 👻 and he is fine with sharing space with you! I'm just going to ask him!!!
What, no one's ever said family is complicated before? Maybe lead with that if you talk to your 💅🤡 again.
I'm not sure that's right, no. I think if you call yourself a spy and then do spying, then you are a spy. If it were just a fun play on your name and you weren't going to do any spying, then it would be like 👻.
👎👿👎👿👎👿!!! Maybe the reason it sounds bad isn't anything to do with the way I'm saying it! 👎👿👎👿👎👿👎👿👎👿 👻➡️⚰️➡️🌳🌳🌳
No one's ever said it in a bad way! I didn't think anyone else thought of it like that, that it can be bad. But obviously it is! Like with 💅🤡, I mean.
You can't tell me I'm wrong until we know for sure!!! I will be a spy, if that means I'm right. You don't have to say that you had anything to do with it.
I didn't say bad, exactly, but in her case it probably is. And I don't know what kind of power the rest of her family has, or how in line with it her sister is, but it just seems like it's not very surprising if she doesn't listen to you in light of that. I can't believe I'm saying this, but if you really want to convince her, maybe curses aren't the way.
Good because I won't! I didn't have anything to do with it. I'm already ➡️🌳🌳🌳 and it's different 🌳🌳🌳 than any you know about, 👋👎👿
I don't think I'm going to get a chance to curse her because I am going to send all my curses to you. 👿😤 👎👻👎👻👎👻
I know about more 🌳🌳🌳 than you! I've been here longer than you! If you ➡️🌳🌳🌳, then I am going to get ☁️ and we will have a new 👻 hunt. 👿☁️⚔️👻 🌳🌳🌳👋👻➡️🏠🏠🏠
But I've given you so much good advice! Truly a merciless sand cultivator. 😭😭😭 But I think you are specifically forbidden from sending me curses, so at least in this one respect I'm safe.
This just looks like instructions to haunt strangers' houses, so thank you for the suggestion and good luck on your hunt. 😔 I hope you understand it didn't have to be like this.
...I forgot I'm not allowed to send you curses. 👿👿👿 Now what am I going to do with all of these curses?
That is a picture of us chasing you back into town, and if that means 👻 is haunting strangers' houses, then so be it. I also wish them the best of luck. This is probably the only way it was ever going to be.
That sounds very boring for the curses. How are they supposed to feel fulfilled?
Hmm. Well. I have some bad news, then! You don't get a head start because I already messaged him like five minutes ago~ But if you leave now, you'll never get to hear how well it's going! 😈🤫
Oh, I wouldn't be there. I would get up and leave them to it. Sorry to the curses, but I've got things to do.
👿👿👿 And I wouldn't bully Lan Wangji! Or Hanguang-jun. I don't know why you keep switching which name you're using. 😕 But only mean 👻s bully him, and I am not a mean 👻.
I was going to tell you what I meant by "it's going well", but now maybe I won't! Maybe I'll relay it to you like a cryptic fortune-teller. ✨🔮✨
Hmmmmmm. Hmmmm! Yes, I am reading the signs; and they are speaking to me. They tell me that ghosts are being incredibly silly and misinformed! So whatever a ghost is thinking of doing, then they should obviously do the opposite of that, and then there will be very happy ghosts. The end.
How do you know that I can't?? I think 👻 just have very selective memories.
This fortune teller is invested in ghosts because she has a ghost that is a very good friend. No refunds! You knew what you were getting! Besides, aside from being both super cute and clever, this fortune teller is also 💯% ✅!
That may be true but I also know you can't because I've been so much on my best behavior here. Even my memory can only be so selective!
How could I know what I was getting? You were mean to me in a cave and I thought you might climb the wall like a lizard because at that point in my day it might as well happen. How could I know you would be such a good friend to ghosts? But I'm glad you are, even if in this case it's just all bullying and tattling. I'm afraid to even ask you anything else.
I can't agree with you? Okay, tell me why you deserve this, so I can confirm that my agreement isn't misplaced!
I will allow for selective 👻 memories and good behavior, but I'm watching you now. I won't let you get away with bullying ☁️.
It's not all bullying and tattling! It's also spying~ Though if I've made you too afraid to ask for anything else, then maybe I should restore just a little bit of good favor... Lan Wangji and Klaudia can both agree that unhappy 👻 are no good~
He said it was your choice. I tried to get him to clarify further, but I think he's also worried about you being unhappy? Sort of like you're worried about him being unhappy. Which makes you both equally silly, and you are both fortunate to know someone who can tell you to stop being silly.
We don't have time to discuss every way in which I deserve this, but I'll tell you your attitude toward self reflection is a trial to me personally.
How did this get turned around so much? I only bully him if it's very funny, you know this. And it's for his own good, like phone messages.
We are both very fortunate to know a meddling sand cultivator, and I want you to acknowledge that he's being very silly in this case, above and beyond anything I'm doing. He knows I can't be unhappy anywhere.
I thought it was just the bullying, but if there's something else you've done to deserve these trials, then I'm happy to oblige whatever cosmic forces are teaching a 👻 a lesson~ 🤭🤗
So you admit that you bully him! Which means I don't have to "name a single time you've bullied him", you know they exist and therefore I win. ✨✨🎉🎉🎉
I will acknowledge that ☁️ is being extremely silly, much more so than usual. I think your silliness is contagious, hope you both feel better soon. 🤒🩹 But in the meantime, I think that means that one of you is going to have to not be silly, just for a little while! And it'll probably have to be you! Because I'm not telling ☁️ that he's being silly, he'll frown at me. Over text. I'll be able to feel it in my soul.
Oh, I don't intend to actually learn the lesson, just comment on the teaching style.
I never denied it, just that you would be able to give examples. Don't throw yourself a victory celebration just yet.
That's so unfair, you tell me I'm silly all the time, where's the balance? And I can't even send a picture of this to him. This is terrible! I think you deserve some frowning in your soul.
I can give myself a victory celebration if I want~ 🎉✨🎉✨🎉
Do you want me to tell him that he's being silly? I can! I will brave that hardship for you, but if I do, then he's going to ask why. And I'm going to have to tell him that he's saying things you don't agree with. Then he'll ask how I know, and I will have to admit that I am talking to you about this, too.
It's truly a terrible time for us all. 👿 I'm so correct, and I can't even tell him how!
👻🤝👿 where 🤝 is we are not sending any parts of this conversation to ☁️ despite how correct we are about so many things. This is the new 🕷️ pact. You can't know how much this pains me.
