Hi.

I'd like to talk to you about being new here but I'll introduce myself first. I'm The OA.

[laozu]

Hello, The Oa! I'm Wei Wuxian, or Wei Ying to my friends!

Is there anything I can help with?

[resurrected]

Then I hope to call you Wei Ying soon enough.

There might be. I wonder what you made of the vote.

[laozu]

Too many nonsensical grudges. A lot of information was not presented well enough to make a firm case. Some of the dead were clearly cared for more than others, and it insults everyone's memory.

Why?

[metabolizes]

heyyyyyy man quick question
what did you put in that potluck dish

( you could say he is Going Thru It. it being food poisoning. )

[laozu]

It was just a variation of my favorite super-spicy congee! I had to substitute some ingredients, since the commune doesn't have a lot that I'm familiar with.

[ nobody asked the chinese guy how he was cooking familiar dishes in the unfamiliar english woodlands/countryside ]

[metabolizes]

oh cool great
what were those substitutions exactly

[laozu]

Well, this place definitely doesn't have dōnggū — the mushrooms from my home. I had to make do with what I foraged.

[metabolizes]

gotcha gotcha

hey fun fact
did you know theres a 1/1000 chance you could get mushroom poisoning from eating wild mushrooms
crazy right

[laozu]

No way! Wally, did you eat bad mushrooms??
I could have made you some more congee, you just had to ask! It's really easy!

[metabolizes]

nnnnnoooooooo
no thats ok!!!
really
i think i need to probably just
lay off the congee
forever

[hiyakai]

[ wellllll,

when voting's over

[laozu]

'Kay!

Is there anything special I have to do to kill a vampire?

[hiyakai]

we can just break off a chair leg and you can stab me in the heart with it
orrrrr if it's more fun for you, you can always lob my head off
dealer's choice (:

[laozu]

I'd like to do it in the least painful way.
I'll take your head off, there's plenty of weapons to accomplish that task, and I'm good with swords.

[hiyakai]

you aren't wrong
decapitation is quick n easy
that's how i ended up in hell

1/2

[laozu]

[ hol' up ]

[laozu]

Now I'm worried you might get sent back to hell.

[hiyakai]

nah
we can't permanently die here, so
i'll be fine

[ there is no chance in living hell he would try this otherwise negl ]

[laozu]

What was hell like, in your experience?

[hiyakai]

it was the worst thing you can possibly experience
x 10

[laozu]

When I died, my soul was torn apart — over and over and over and over for what felt like forever... until there was nothing left.
Was it like that?

[hiyakai]

[ ...... ]

yea
smth like that

[ if the pain and horror never stopped anyway. ]
