[A weasel starts this transmission, bopping the communicator with an adorably tiny paw. Then, in a whirl of motion and color, he becomes Zhou Zishu, who is smiling with almost as much mischief as the little weasel.]

I've heard that some of you want to become stronger in the new year. I'm ready to teach. Martial arts isn't just about defense; it's about toning the body and balancing the spirit.

If you're interested, let me know.

[A happy bark interrupts him and a fairy dog - that looks like a husky with blue wings - flies overhead.]

I'm out of time! [He laughs and turns back into a weasel, bounding into a pile of snow.]

If you could make one wish for this new year, what would it be? What is your life missing?

I will go first since I'm asking such personal questions.

I want a permanent home, a full, happy marriage and a long, long period of peace. I want it to be so peaceful that one day I admit I'm bored. That's when I will go on another adventure to fight a monster or find a rare treasure. There will always be troublesome spirits roaming about and considering my position...

I will help. I will always help.

Went gift shopping today, debating whether to get this for myself. On the one hand, speaking as a (former?) employee of Lobotomy Corporation, I think it's hilarious. On the other hand, it might prompt questions like 'why do you own that', 'why was your job named Lobotomy Corporation', and 'did they actually do lobotomies there'. Which I don't mind answering, but literally any time my job comes up it'll probably depress the other person in the conversation, so.

Thoughts?

[Well, there's a face few have seen for a few months. Including his pillow, most likely, because holy eyebags, Batman. Still, despite the exceedingly obvious sleep deprivation, he's grinning and looks absolutely proud of himself.

Which might have something to do with the thick bundle of paper he's holding as he beams at the camera.]


Finished it!

[Finished what? Good question! But for those who've glimpsed him in passing (day jobs are still a thing after all), he's been nearly constantly scribbling away at something.]

Wish Cucumber were here to show.

{Xie Lian is walking on a beach, clad only in his white trousers. His hair hangs almost to his thighs, covering the majority of his back, but his chest is bare and there are telling marks on his skin. Thank you, San Lang!

He crouches before a cute sand castle and smiles happily, reaching out to smooth out a tower.}


What else does my castle need? {His ears are shaped like fins and there are golden and orange scales scattered over his torso.}

I think a little King and Queen. Oh and they need a baby or two, right?

{Now his smile dims slightly.}

Those with aquatic transformations are welcome to join me! Things have been a little tense, haven't they? Swimming can be...a release.

{He brightens again.}

San Lang~ I'm putting you here. {Xie Lian forms a little person, crudely, out of sand and places them right beside the royal children.}

[He is feeling playful today, so...]

What qualities do you find attractive? These can be physical or based on someone's personality. I personally think the physical ones are particularly fun.

[Like how his husband prefers shoulder-blades.]

I like cute, pretty faces myself. And strong bodies. Someone who excels in martial arts is a plus! But I don't mind someone who is dainty.

Ah...help! {Xie Lian now resembles a merman. Or, rather, a Koi merman. He flaps uselessly in his garden and covers his face with his hands, his finned ears fluttering in embarrassment.}

I think...I need...a pool? A...um...bathtub? Something!

What happens if I dry out?

I have some questions! Don't worry, it's not sad this time!

Has anyone here figured out what they want to do with their life while they're in Ellipsa? And how do you learn how to do it? Because school for us here stops after high school so that's out, and I wasn't very good at school anyway. I like working at Shining Karaoke and all, but I don't know if I wanna be a bar waitress forever or anything, and someone told me I should become a therapist but I'm bad at understanding people so probably not.

And how do you get better at making people happy?

[ Someone's grinning as he wiggles this way and that to an imaginary beat! And nibbling on what looks like flavored shaved ice? ]

Today's my birthday! Since I can't celebrate the way I usually do this year, I want everyone who gives a damn to have something really sweet!

Or just have something sweet. You don't have to give a shit about me. I don't care either way.

[How does he go about asking this...? Well, he might as well go all in, right? Though politely. Always politely.]

Excuse me, I have a question for any and all of us who have experienced immortality.

Were you always immortal? If not, what was it like for you to first taste immortality? I understand the condition isn't a given in Ellipsa, but it does hold true in my world. My Master was immortal and now I wish I had asked her about it thoroughly.

{Are there balloons? Streamers? Confetti? You better believe it.}

[Shang Qinghua hasn't been sleeping. It's very immediately obvious that he hasn't been sleeping because the bags under his eyes are deeper than usual and it's pretty obvious that his hair's been up in the same bun for a few days with bits coming out. Not the best for making a video, but it is what it is.

And this is important.]


Um, hey.

I don't suppose anyone has seen Mobei-Jun around?

[Come on, Qinghua, Mobei barely socializes. He doubts most people know his name.]

Really tall, dark hair, blue eyes, blue mark on his forehead, and an icy glare that says he knows what temperature is needed to make your blood freeze solid?

He hasn't been home in a few days.

He didn't respond when I called for him...

(1) are there any available facilities suited to mechanical engineering or computer programming that are open to free use?

(2) are permits required for tamed beasts to hunt in the surrounding forests, or are they free to do as they please?

(3) has anyone held captive here attempted to leave the boundaries of the various cities?
- if yes: are there consequences for attempting to leave?

(4) has anyone attempted communicating with their home?
- if yes: have you been successful?


[ the message is not signed, nor does seto bother with saying hello.

he's gone through as much information as he possibly can, and is familiar with the basic idea of the guilds... but playing a little stupid will spark conversation, and getting to know the people who know the ins and outs of this prison is only going to work to his advantage. in domino city, he needn't bother with pretenses; everyone knew who he was, and how much power he wielded, and therefore, people generally moved out of his way. here, he is (relatively) anonymous, and so will need to work twice as hard to get what he needs without his typical resources.

most importantly, however, is that he is going to lose his mind of boredom if he doesn't have an outlet, and piecing together the puzzle of this place is as good an outlet as any. it will distract him from the skin crawling feeling that he has no control in this place, and if there is one thing seto does not do well with, it is being told he has no choice.

so clearly, the answer is to build something. ]

PSA: do not wish for another person with a Wishing Star.

Results have varied, and it seems that sometimes you just get a doll of them? But sometimes you get what appears to be them at first, but gradually becomes apparent that it isn't really them and then they try to kill you. I don't recommend it!

I have more detailed notes if anyone wants them (L Corp rule number 5: an employee death without notes taken is two employee deaths) but the long and short of it is that you won't get the person you want and you also might get killed by something wearing your loved one's face. So it's bad.

Relatedly, how do you apologize to your boss for dying and missing work?

Forgive me, I... {Xie Lian is looking confused and out of sorts, his eyes darting around awkwardly.} I feel as if I was...away? For months.

San Lang? Are you here? {The view is wobbly as he hurries through the snow, his feet sinking into the ice with each step.} Oh this won't work.

{Pushing off of one foot, he leaps into the air, shaking the snow off of his robes.}

I need to return to Mount Tonglu, I'm sorry. Is there a way to draw a Teleportation Array, perhaps? My powers feel stronger in this land. If I could end up close to the mountain, I would find a way in.

I'm looking for a specific type of flower. It's small and white and it gives off a delicious scent. Maybe it's something like jasmine? I'm not sure. Its been awhile since I had any.

I think the butterflies will like it.
{Granted they aren't real butterflies, but surely phantom butterflies love sweet scents too?}

I remember them blooming for most of the year or maybe I'm mistaken? It has been so long. My mind is getting old.

I was definitely spoiled back then. If I asked for them, someone would grow them even if it was the wrong season.

I know better now.

It's just the memories that I miss.

What is your favorite dish? I'm trying to perfect my cooking and I am always looking for a challenge.

(She also wants to test Anakin's taste-buds. Because she is an evil wife.)

Alternatively, you can tell me about the oddest dish you've ever enjoyed.

Good day, one and all. For those who don't know, my name is Baizhu. I come to you with a very specific and perhaps unusual request. In particular - a request to those here who are, in some way or another, considered to be immortal in their own world.

I would appreciate if anyone willing would come by the Research Centre and supply me with a physical sample for research I am currently undertaking. This is of course entirely voluntary; there is no need to be alarmed.

If anyone with any concerns would prefer to speak with me face to face before coming to the centre please respond accordingly. I have put aside more than enough time for this eventuality.

Thank you for your attention.

[Camera opens to an awkward angle of the snow before being brought around to actually face a young looking man wearing an oversized and fur lined cloak that was so very obviously not made for him but it's warm so he's gonna wear it.]

Er, well, hi? Not sure if I should worry about doing one of these since I've been here a few weeks, but someone suggested I should and I figured why not?

[Shang Qinghua waved to the camera with a grin.]

My name is Shang Qinghua and I'm kinda new here. Showed up with the big crowd the other week. Can't say I get out much so I haven't met a lot of folk yet but would love to change that!

I'm not sure how to begin this... {Awkwardly, Xie Lian adjusts his communicator, glancing at one of his bandaged wrists as he does so.} Now, now, don't be frightened. We don't know the whole story yet.

{Who is he talking to? Also did said bandage on his wrist...move? Of its own accord?}

I am Xie Lian and I am pleased to meet you. I am a little confused as last I recall I was in a cave? In the desert no less. Now I'm fairly certain there is snow outside!
