I'm sure the devils would be lucky to have you, but I'll โ๏ธ them if they aren't. I have to say though, even if it's not all bad it still sounds a little bad to me? Not very nice for the souls. Best to stay a ๐, this ๐ป agrees.
Selรปne sounds really good though. Fate, and everything that happens under the light of the moon? She must be very busy, but it sounds like she can handle it. Does she get paladins? What colors do they wear? ๐ป๐ซ๐ด
The ๐ท๏ธ rooms can be whatever color you think best, I wouldn't want to clash with all the โ๏ธ tranquility and all. I would be a good ๐ท๏ธ to live with except for the no killing, because I don't think ๐ท๏ธ can eat vegetables. Maybe there's a bug that eats books that I could be vigilant for.
Stop saying nobility! It's a shorthand for all those other things I said! This is how words work and I don't know why you're like this!
Selรปne is very good, thank you for noticing~ ๐๐๐
Her colors are blue and silver, but the clergy I've seen usually wear white when they're in official dress. Maybe silver is too gaudy? Armor is silvery in color though, and that's probably fine for paladins. (No gold! They're not obnoxious~) They're probably not around anymore, but there used to be a whole order of them called the Guardians of Light. But that was over 1500 years ago. I don't know what they're called now, if anything. Since Selรปne doesn't particularly favor fighting, I think it's more usual to see clerics and priests dedicated to her than paladins. Or druids, maybe?
Maybe the ๐ท๏ธ rooms can be red on the inside and blue on the outside~ Best of both worlds! Are animals not immune to the no killing rule? You would think that they'd let a ๐ท๏ธ be a ๐ท๏ธ and eat a bug or two...
And I am like this because it's funny. ๐คญ So nobility is just... beauty and refinement and... nice smells? Seclusion? Not needing admiration? I think I got lost on which part was nobility and which part was just the flower. But if you put it like that, then can't anyone be nobility? Why can't a ๐ป be noble?
๐๐๐๐ป๐๐๐ A shame they don't exist anymore, I bet they looked very impressive.
Maybe animals are immune, but maybe that's just because all the ๐ท๏ธ can't read. Maybe I should have tried that.
Well in theory I guess some of that is just nobility for flowers only. And in theory nobility for people is mostly for nobles, but obviously that's nonsense, there are some very ignoble nobles out there. But I'm not sure ๐ป can be, didn't you just worry that I don't clean my clothes? And I need so much admiration, maybe being noble is too boring. For everyone else, you can just decide for yourself. Or ask Lan Zhan.
Oh, you can't pretend that you can't read. I tried that excuse already. ๐ But maybe ๐ท๏ธ are allowed because they aren't lying about it. I bet that would have worked if I was a ๐ฆ.
If there can be ignoble nobles, there should be noble... not-nobles? Ignobles? I don't think that can be a noun, but it should be. Anyway, if being noble is too boring, why care about noble ๐ผ? You were literally just complaining because I expressed surprise that you liked noble things! Make up your mind. Wait, no, hold on...
(โ๏ธ voice) Don't be of two minds. ๐
๐คญ๐คญ๐คญ I did worry that you didn't clean your clothes, but only because you said things and I remembered them. You're a very clean ๐ป. And a very admirable ๐ป! I don't think that should knock you out of the nobility running. If wanting admiration excluded you from being nobility, I think there wouldn't be any nobles at all.
That being said! I don't actually know if you are or not... You said โ๏ธ was, right? And you like to talk about being equal! So... *are* you a noble ๐ป? ๐ป noble? I would like to know before I say any more silly things about nobles. You know, just in case. ๐๐๐ (No offense faces!)
You tried to tell Lan Zhan you can't read? ๐ป๐คญ That's the spirit. I've already told him that ๐ฅฌ are bad for your cultivation.
There are certainly people who are noble regardless of bloodline, and they are very admirable (but not seeking to be admired) and some who are noble both ways. But what does liking noble ๐ผ have to do with whether or not I'm noble myself? Aren't ๐ผ for everyone? Maybe not for you, don't ๐ at me. Quoting rules is allowed though because it is very funny.
You can say as many silly things about nobles as you want, regardless. But before you accuse me of being dodgy again, I'll tell you that I'm not one, as in in direct line of succession of a cultivation sect, one of the great five or otherwise. Not like โ๏ธ. When I said equal, wasn't I talking about โ๏ธ specifically? So you can keep these ๐๐๐ for later use.
๐ฅฌ *are* bad for my cultivation, that's not a lie. I'll get sick and die. โฐ๏ธ๐ฟ๐ต You don't want that.
I like ๐ผ, they're for me! They can be for everyone. No one has a monopoly on flowers, and if they do, we can both fight them. โ๏ธโ๏ธโ๏ธ
It's just... Hmm. I don't know how to put it. You know a lot of things! Like about noble flowers and scholars and your cultivation stuff, even if you say you're only a messenger. And it makes me wonder how you know them? What sort of ๐ป learns the things that you've learned, etc. What did you do back on your plane? Did you have a job? Or some sort of pursuit of study? Other than being a ghost expert, of course!
I don't, I don't! That's why I told him. It could even be true, for all I know. Hypothetically. If you were a cultivator in the traditional sense.
So you can like noble things without question, is that it? (โ๏ธ voice) Hm.
No, it was just ghost expertise for me ๐ But not being an heir doesn't mean I couldn't be a cultivator or learn things, what are you asking me, Klaudia-laoshi? Believe it or not I'm a gentleman, learned in the six arts, brought up in a well regarded sect, went to โ๏ธโฐ๏ธ lectures, ranked fourth most eligible on the list of young masters for my generation ๐ I can't believe you've seen through my humility.
...Can people really get sick and die from ๐ฅฌ??? What kind of ๐ฅฌ do you have? And how does โ๏ธ eat them all the time???
Don't โ๏ธ voice at me! If you can like noble things, I can like them even more because I'm not the one calling them noble. They are just things! Normal things!
Also, your humility is like a glass window that has just been cleaned. So clear! Not a speck of dirt to obscure my sight! There might not even be any glass at all! ๐
But you are a fancy gentleman! I thought so... That's the part that seemed kinda weird? I don't know what the six arts are, but those sound important. Are they arts, or Arts? And โ๏ธโฐ๏ธ lectures are obviously important, but those aren't for everyone? You can't just go to โ๏ธโฐ๏ธ and get lectures? It's a shame you were so very eligible and yet weren't eligible for humility lectures, sorry for your lot. ๐
What sort of well regarded sect were you brought up in? That's like โ๏ธ stuff, right? But like... ๐๐ถ๏ธ๐ซโฐ๏ธ? There is probably a better picture for that, but I don't know what it is.
Obviously he is more powerful than the ๐ฅฌ, which explains a lot. Without the ๐ฅฌ for balance, who knows what would happen.
So when you like things you can only call them normal and not make any reference to what you like about them? This is interesting, tell me more.
Well if it's so clear why did you have to make sure? A ๐ป can't win, it seems like. Either I'm properly humble and it seems weird, or maybe not being humble is also weird! Maybe you're just going to say I'm weird no matter what! And I don't know what you mean, they're the arts you learn to be respectable. And who is everyone? โ๏ธโฐ๏ธ lectures are for the older and higher ranked disciples of other cultivation sects. If you were just curious or looking for free meals, you wouldn't have a good time anyway. Only ๐ might, even without cultivation, just as long as you timed the questions for just as they're being answered so you don't have to ask them. And if there is a need for humility lectures, I'll give them, because that's just how eligible I am.
Unfortunately there isn't a better picture, I've already tried. And I already said it's pretty different from โ๏ธ stuff specifically! Rather than being founded by a monk, it was founded by a ranger. Less rules and scholarly sleeves and music, more free spiritedness and directness and archery. Lakes and ponds and liveliness instead of being hidden away on a โฐ๏ธ. Food that doesn't taste like poorly disguised medicine and that you could actually hunt for. But still โ๏ธ, ๐ง. ๐โญโ
I'm being mad fun of. ๐ฅบ๐ฅบ๐ฅบ I just mean that I like things because I like things. If orchids weren't noble, would you still like them?
You *are* weird no matter what, I'm surprised it took you so long to figure out~ ๐คญ The Arts are different from the arts! The Arts is what people sometimes call magic (cultivation?), but I guess you're talking about actual arts? Like painting and poetry and stuff?
I would have a great time on โ๏ธโฐ๏ธ, and I would have so many questions stuffed into my pockets by the time I got there that they would have to host a lecture just for me. But don't worry, I'll make sure to set aside time for you humility lectures, too~ (You will need someone to observe for correctness, right?)
Do you have a lot of rangers then? And rangerly-like things? Nature? ๐น and ๐! That makes sense, I think. Especially for you. ๐คญ No wonder you're so knowledgeable about living in the woods. Does that mean you also know how to ๐น as well as โ๏ธ? You would have to ๐น in order to hunt, right?
(Are you asking me to grade your essay again? Is that ๐โญ? Are you sure you can take it?)
You are, but you started it. And if orchids weren't noble would they still be orchids at all? So how can I answer, if I like them for what they are, and what they are makes them noble?
See what I mean about you starting it? But yes, I mean actual arts and not magic or cultivation. Like calligraphy, and math.
The worst part is I believe you would. You would set an impossible standard for all the students after you, and they'd put your picture up probably on the rules wall, and you'd need my humility lectures very sorely (and have to throw so many things due to my correctness).
I suppose it depends on what you mean? By now, people who join the sect live and cultivate there, but of course go night hunting and kite shooting in the wider area. I guess when you think about it there is a lot of nature compared to some places? Though โ๏ธโฐ๏ธ has plenty too. But it's not in a barren area or a busy city with only manicured grounds at least. And yes, I am very good at ๐น, though I can hunt without it too. I can catch fish and pheasants with my bare hands. In between the humility lectures. ๐โญ! I can take it.
I started nothing! ๐ฅบ! But I'll conceded that you are maybe right. Or at least that you can like whatever ๐ผ you want to like. I basically said that already, but I'll say it again more specifically so you can have material to practice your humility lessons on. (Which I am also bringing small rocks to. I will make more room in my pockets! I'll have a pocket for questions and a pocket for rocks.)
Next important question: Calligraphy I can see, but who calls math an art??? Isn't math the opposite of art??? Or at the very least a completely different thing!
Aren't you afraid of things biting you when you catch them? Or pecking you. Or... whatever fish do. Do fish bite? They have teeth, right? They look sharp. The whole fish looks sharp. ๐ช๐
I'm sure I don't need to practice the humility lessons but thank you for your permission to like ๐ผ. Which I graciously extend to you in turn.
I don't know what you mean, they're just arts. Archery, calligraphy, ceremony, why not math? They're all things you aren't born able to do, that can be very pleasing to see done. There's no contradiction here.
The fish are not sharp for the most part, didn't you live on a boat? Did those fish have teeth? I'm shaking my head at you. Besides, you don't grab fish or pheasants by the sharp parts. Do you need very humble lessons in this?
Isn't art for... looking at things? Or listening to things? Stuff that people consider beautiful or elegant or makes them feel certain ways. Math sounds like a weird thing to get emotional about. And ceremonies, too??? Unless they're like performances? I guess archery could be a performance too, but that's a bit of a stretch.
I lived on a boat, but that doesn't mean I touched a bunch of ๐! I didn't do the fishing or the cooking, so the only thing the ๐ touched was my mouth. ๐ค๐คค (And yes, some of them had teeth! Lots of teeth! ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฆ You can find some really scary things out in the ocean.)
Are you also giving humble lessons on those? โ๏ธ is going to show me how to cook things, but I don't know if that means ๐... Or ๐ in general, even. I want to learn how to hunt! Pretty please? ๐ฅบ
This is ghosts all over again. I don't understand why being good at these things can't be an art. I promise if you do enough of any of them, you'll feel some way or other.
Scary things like sand cultivators who don't cook or fish? What did you do, then?
I can give humble lessons on hunting! If you throw in that last half a โญ. Cooking ๐ too, so you won't just learn how to make vegetables that are bad for your cultivation.
I am taking notes, but they mostly read that you have emotions about weird things. But fine! If that's the case, then I'm also very good at arts! Math! How are you good at ceremony? What does that even mean? Are there certain ceremonies? Or just any?
What do you mean what did I do? In general? For food? We had a cook, you know. Everyone had designated responsibilities, so I didn't need to cook. I just had to make sure that I showed up for mealtimes.
The half a star is there so that you don't get complacent! I can't barter it away, or you won't have any reason to improve your essays. But teach me hunting anyway! And cooking ๐! I can find something else to throw in! What else is worth hunting and cooking lessons?
I'm sure you're very good at all kinds of arts I just don't know to be looking out for! Not counting the magical ones, I guess. And I don't know what you mean by certain ceremonies. Any, I guess? Like knowing the order to greet people in, or what to do in a shrine, or tea. Just doing things right. How is that certain, or any? Answering questions is not one of the arts.
So haughty, this sand cultivator, just has to show up! ๐คญ But what were your designated responsibilities?
๐ค I don't know, what have you got to offer? I'm open to a trade.
Oh, so it's just... etiquette? That's an art? I guess that would make sense. Fancy people are very particular about that sort of thing. There's a lot of rules for all of that stuff, isn't there?
It's not haughty! ๐ซ๐คญ! Showing up was hard at first! I forgot a bunch. Or pretended to forget. It was weird, sitting down at a table with strangers. I didn't know what to say or do. I'd never eaten with other people like that before.
As for my responsibilities... I'm the bosun, so I take care of the ship. When there's damage that needs to be repaired or maintenance to be done, I figure out the where and how and what supplies are needed. When we're in port, I make sure we've got everything we need to keep her in good shape. It's a *very* important job because our ship is our livelihood. And also she's just a very special ship, so she deserves the best care. ๐โต๏ธ I also help navigate, keep tabs on the hold for any new inventory, and keep the ship's log. That's a record of where we've been on which days, the weather, what we encountered, etc. Which means I used to have to get up at dawn to measure the position of the sun and get our bearings... but I don't have to do that here, obviously~ ๐ด๐ด๐ด (I hope you can see why I had to leave the cooking to someone else!)
What do you want to trade??? How am I supposed to offer anything if I don't know what you want? ๐ค Is there something I could teach you? It sounds like you already know so much... ๐
It's an art if there's enough to it, and there is. Are you disappointed in me for knowing something so boring?
Oh I see! I'm sorry for ๐คญ then. I guess it can be hard having to eat with strangers for the first time! Maybe that's why there's a rule about not talking while eating. And that is a lot of responsibility, so I guess it's fine that you haven't touched any fish. It sounds like the โต๏ธ was in good hands with you. It sounds like running a boat is like running a sect and like you were a good high ranking disciple who deserved to eat in peace. (๐ซ๐คญ) I did not know this sand cultivator was so responsible!
Yes, maybe I know too much to learn any new things. So maybe I just have to teach you out of the goodness of my heart. ๐ Until you learn to cook something and can make it for me.
Why would I be disappointed?? What a weird ๐ป, thinking that knowing things could make him boring. You don't think that, do you? You better not! I think it's fun that you know a lot of things. Smart ๐ป! Clever ๐ป! โ๏ธ told me about how you've used the things you learn to make fun of people who deserve it, and I could never find that boring. ๐ Very heroic ๐ป!
Our ship *is* in very good hands! I don't know about me being a high ranking anything, though. We only had five people. We just did the jobs that needed to be done, so it feels weird to assign ranks to that... I guess I did have people assigned to me when we rescued the ๐ฆด๐ป, though. But I don't really know what to call that. I just had to show them around the ship and make sure they knew which jobs to do. I will not object to being responsible, though! I'm very responsible! ๐โจโจโจ
If you teach me how to hunt and cook meat, I'll make you a bunch of things! ๐ ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐๐ค๐ฅฎ! Is that a deal???

Are you also giving humble lessons on those? โ๏ธ is going to show me how to cook things, but I don't know if that means ๐... Or ๐ in general, even. I want to learn how to hunt! Pretty please? ๐ฅบ

Date: 2021-11-07 11:12 pm (UTC)Scary things like sand cultivators who don't cook or fish? What did you do, then?
I can give humble lessons on hunting! If you throw in that last half a โญ. Cooking ๐ too, so you won't just learn how to make vegetables that are bad for your cultivation.

Date: 2021-11-08 12:20 am (UTC)What do you mean what did I do? In general? For food? We had a cook, you know. Everyone had designated responsibilities, so I didn't need to cook. I just had to make sure that I showed up for mealtimes.
The half a star is there so that you don't get complacent! I can't barter it away, or you won't have any reason to improve your essays. But teach me hunting anyway! And cooking ๐! I can find something else to throw in! What else is worth hunting and cooking lessons?

Date: 2021-11-08 04:54 am (UTC)So haughty, this sand cultivator, just has to show up! ๐คญ But what were your designated responsibilities?
๐ค I don't know, what have you got to offer? I'm open to a trade.

Date: 2021-11-08 05:54 am (UTC)It's not haughty! ๐ซ๐คญ! Showing up was hard at first! I forgot a bunch. Or pretended to forget. It was weird, sitting down at a table with strangers. I didn't know what to say or do. I'd never eaten with other people like that before.
As for my responsibilities... I'm the bosun, so I take care of the ship. When there's damage that needs to be repaired or maintenance to be done, I figure out the where and how and what supplies are needed. When we're in port, I make sure we've got everything we need to keep her in good shape. It's a *very* important job because our ship is our livelihood. And also she's just a very special ship, so she deserves the best care. ๐โต๏ธ I also help navigate, keep tabs on the hold for any new inventory, and keep the ship's log. That's a record of where we've been on which days, the weather, what we encountered, etc. Which means I used to have to get up at dawn to measure the position of the sun and get our bearings... but I don't have to do that here, obviously~ ๐ด๐ด๐ด (I hope you can see why I had to leave the cooking to someone else!)
What do you want to trade??? How am I supposed to offer anything if I don't know what you want? ๐ค Is there something I could teach you? It sounds like you already know so much... ๐

Date: 2021-11-08 11:38 pm (UTC)Oh I see! I'm sorry for ๐คญ then. I guess it can be hard having to eat with strangers for the first time! Maybe that's why there's a rule about not talking while eating. And that is a lot of responsibility, so I guess it's fine that you haven't touched any fish. It sounds like the โต๏ธ was in good hands with you. It sounds like running a boat is like running a sect and like you were a good high ranking disciple who deserved to eat in peace. (๐ซ๐คญ) I did not know this sand cultivator was so responsible!
Yes, maybe I know too much to learn any new things. So maybe I just have to teach you out of the goodness of my heart. ๐ Until you learn to cook something and can make it for me.

Date: 2021-11-09 12:24 am (UTC)Our ship *is* in very good hands! I don't know about me being a high ranking anything, though. We only had five people. We just did the jobs that needed to be done, so it feels weird to assign ranks to that... I guess I did have people assigned to me when we rescued the ๐ฆด๐ป, though. But I don't really know what to call that. I just had to show them around the ship and make sure they knew which jobs to do. I will not object to being responsible, though! I'm very responsible! ๐โจโจโจ
If you teach me how to hunt and cook meat, I'll make you a bunch of things! ๐ ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐๐ค๐ฅฎ! Is that a deal???
