Video; UN Wei Wuxian | During the blackout

[singlelogbridge]

[Around an hour into the blackout, Wei Wuxian pops up in a video on the network. Despite the lack of electricity, there's enough light to reveal his location as one of the hallways where he's leaning against a wall, arms crossed across his chest. There's a friendly smile on his face, and those who know him very well might notice that he appears a little drained even if he is trying valiantly to hide it.]

For those of you who don't know me, my name is Wei Wuxian. That's surname Wei, given name Wuxian. You can call me Wei Wuxian. [His friendly smile slips into a grin for a moment before fading into something a little more serious.]

We seem to have found ourselves annoyingly inconvenienced, hmm?

I don't know if this is going to last very long, but in the meantime I've got a temporary solution. I've been hanging light talismans along the halls and in some of the rooms to allow people to see by. It's not a lot of light, but it's enough to travel by. I've also got extra if anyone would like to come and grab some for their room. [As he speaks, a hovering ball of light lowers down from the ceiling and he holds out a hand for the light to rest in his palm to make sure people can see it.]

I've also stuck some cooling talismans to the freezers to keep their contents cool, and I've got warming talismans too if anyone is in need of those. I'll be sitting in the mess hall. Please come by or message me if you need some. [And with that he gives a short wave to the video before it cuts off.]

Okay! Got it. More energy, wasted energy. It's better to conserve.

[She feels like she knew that answer, in that way that it feels common sense when she repeats it aloud. Is there no such thing as a stupid question? In her experience, there absolutely is, but she appreciates if he doesn't point out any.

After a moment, she quietly focuses on the talisman, her brow furrowing, tongue unconsciously trying to escape the corner of her mouth — but after a moment, the light begins to flicker and form. Probably predictably, her lines aren't as ideal as they could be, but it forms a perfectly useable (and dare we say useful!) light all the same.]

Good, that's it! [He encourages her even though Ziggy has long gotten this particular talisman down. Maybe not perfectly, but more than acceptably.]

Alright, keep that one with you as you put them up. I've done most of the east side of the station, but there are plenty of unlit hallways still. [He chatters at her as she begins to make her way through the station, making suggestions here and there, and directing her to the areas that need the most light. Eventually when she's looking a little tired, he nods at her to take a break and start up again in a few hours if the power is still down.]

Go get some rest, alright? I promise I'll come and get you later if we need to do some more work! [With one last wink and grin, he ends the call.]
