[Video] UN: Wei Wuxian

[singlelogbridge]

[Without any introduction at all, a video suddenly pops up on the network with the view focused on what appears to be a VHS tape sitting on the ground. In the background, what can only be described as creepy flute noises can be heard. After several more seconds of the (familiar to some) flute, the song cuts off and Wei Wuxian comes into frame.

He is sitting cross legged several feet away from the VHS tape and he drops his flute to one side.]

This—[He points at the tape with his free hand—] is very angry.

What is it?

Really?

[singlelogbridge]

What? [He has the distinct impression she's about to say something rude]

[construing]

〈 now, what could give him that impression? 〉

So, did you not see Steve handling the VHS tape? Or did you see, and then you forgot? I’m trying to figure out what part of your brain exactly to be worried about.

[singlelogbridge]

When you went back to that creepy room? [Don't ask where he found he tape BTW.] How was I supposed to notice anything else when I was worried!

[construing]

I had it handled! 〈 she did not. 〉

What’s the worst that could have happened? I develop a trauma response that will continue to rule over the way I feel and behave years into the future? Already did that! And, as you can see, I am just fine!

〈 …just not handled at all. 〉

[construing]

Where’d you find that one, by the way?

[singlelogbridge]

[Damn, he could improve his own game with that expert combination of humor and denial.] Hmm, what? That's completely irrelevant, anyway, so you know what this thing is?

[construing]

〈 flatter than kansas: 〉 You went back too.

[singlelogbridge]

I have a flute! You just had a Steve!

[construing]

Don’t you bring Steve into this!

〈 all right, time out. 〉

Okay, not the point. That’s a VHS tape. Fucking ancient by my time, but anyway…

How do you tell it’s angry?

Is it also full of children? [ he looks a bit concerned there, head cocked to the side.

he’s gotten that no one is trapped in the videos that come through on the network but the physical tapes? can’t be too sure. ]

[singlelogbridge]

[Wei Wuxian looks abruptly concerned before he understands what Mal means.]

No weird ghost children voices. Just...[He gestures with his hand as if that explains the energy coming off of it. It doesn't pass the vibe check, okay?]

There's something wrong with it. Also the...[He hesitates to call them ghosts. He doesn't know if they're ghosts anymore. There were ghosts in that school but they didn't seem to be in charge.] Whatever's in that school didn't want me to take this.

[So obviously, he Had To.]

[singlelogbridge]

[That sounds vaguely familiar.]

That has to do with videos, right?

[construing]

Yeah, 〈 she agrees. 〉 You can record and play movies.

It's a VHS tape. Play it. At this point, we need more info, angry or not.

In what circumstances was it found?

[drawsblood]

How can an object be angry? Is there some power inside of it?

[ Also: ]

I have no idea what it is.

[singlelogbridge]

[He squints at it before replying.]

it's very thin. Too thin I think. And there were others like it. And I feel like food wouldn't be this angry, it would just rot

[singlelogbridge]

[Bruh]

What's a VHS tape?

[singlelogbridge]

At the school in the AV club room. Does it mean anything to you?
