[Even before the feed flickers into life, anyone literally anywhere in the sunlight room is probably aware that there is something going on thanks to one very shrill scream immediately followed by several minutes of panicked shouting. When the feed does flicker on, the view is oddly…tall? It's at height with the tops of the trees in the sunlight room which is because Wei Wuxian is making this post from the top of one of those trees.

The reason why becomes immediately obvious when he pans down to the familiar form of Jake barking up at him from the base of the tree. Jake's expression is partially obscured through the foliage, though a close study will find more fear in Jake's face than threat. Whatever he thinks he's looking at, it isn't Wei Wuxian.

Finally, the view shifts to Wei Wuxian who is wide eyed and panicked, his face completely bloodless as he holds onto the tree with one arm and gestures at Jake below with the other.]

Why? [He squeaks out in a desperate whisper, eyes darting back to Jake again before he lets out a soft whimper and returns his attention to the feed.]

Why is there a dog?

[ Jake's post comes through almost simultaneously, text somehow communicating volume as much as his urgency. ]

I FOUND THE GHOST. I REPEAT, I FOUND THE GHOST. GOT IT UP A TREE IN THE SUNLIGHT ROOM. PLEASE ADVISE ON NEXT STEPS AND/OR EXORCISM.

[SHUT UP SHUT UP he is already drafting a frantic text to Viveca asking if they can get an emergency supply drop of nothing but ofuda]

IF EVERYONE KNOWS ABOUT IT THEN WHY HAS NOBODY MENTIONED IT BEFORE NOW?????

[This is probably the most frantic and unhinged Ryunosuke has behaved in public to date.]

[heroooic]

its probably just one of those things everyone knows about but just dont wanna talk about…like spiders crawling in your mouth when you sleep! Like, you can’t DO ANYTHING, so might as well ignore it, right?

[locumstudentesquire]

SPIDERS DO WHAT????

[heroooic]

crawl in your mouth while you sleep. It’s just common knowledge.



Although i dont know if there are really a lot of spiders on a space station?

[locumstudentesquire]

[He doesn't even particularly have any problem with spiders, but. EXCUSE???]

Has anyone ever told you that you have a strange notion of what qualifies as 'common knowledge'?

[heroooic]

Yeah, constantly.

threadjack!

[homeostatic]

'common knowledge' my ass, that's an old wives' tale. quit scaring him.

[heroooic]

its a what? I’m not trying to scare him…

Well, i guess i was a little, but not with the spiders…

[ This whole this had really gotten out of hand, joke spiraling into reality very quickly.

[homeostatic]

Folklore that isn't true.

private

I give. Why does Jake think Wei Wuxian's a ghost?

To the unlocked part, obv

[locumstudentesquire]

Wait, it's not true?? You're sure about that!?
