[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.

Yep. I hunt demons for a living, got years of experience. [True.] Dance-offs are the best way to chase off a ghost, hands down. [Lying through his teeth.]

do they have like... a preference? or like. weakness, i guess??

are we talking hip hop or the ol' softshoe or what??

[shishkabob]

Depends on the dancer. Me, I always found that a good moonwalk confuses them like nothing else. They can’t understand how you’re gliding across the floor.

[ Wait a minute... ]

whaaa?? ghosts are floor sliding experts, bro!

wait is that the point?
they think you're one of them??

... dang, dude. you really do know your business.

[shishkabob]

Yep! They have to leave you alone because they're too busy trying to work out how you managed to slide across the floor like they do.

I told you, I've been doing this a while. I'm an expert.

Thanks for the free entertainment, pal! You want some popcorn? There’s still some left.

[It’s actually good popcorn he’s putting on display here.]

[ Did Jake deserve popcorn? No. Was Jake going to eat popcorn? Yes. Yes he was. ]

...Yeah, okay, be right there.
