Video; UN: Wei Wuxian || Text; UN: jtd

[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.

JAKE, HE’S NOT A GHOST!! Don’t do…whatever you were gonna do.

I’m an idiot, I thought you guys were playing a prank!

[ Jake stops barking, trading in the hoarse little barks for heavy breathing and the real sound of fear quavering behind his forced bravado. ]

You up there! Ghost! [ He squeezes his eyes shut. If it's going to turn him into a soulless pile of jello, he doesn't want to see it. ] What do you want, ghost? Why've you been stalking me!?
doooooog: (vvvvvv)

[personal profile] doooooog 2023-04-01 03:08 am (UTC)(link)
[ Well... that's not really the response he's expecting. Jake crosses his arms, petrification edging closer to offended. ]

Go away? Why? [ His eyes narrow, suspicious. ] What is this, some sorta trick to get me to turn my back?
doooooog: (cccc)

[ Sounds like something a ghost would say right before tricking him into leaving, just so it can come down and attack. ]
