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.

Then good news, I found some beer!

Nope. Really, you can put chocolate on popcorn now?

It's like melted chocolate and coconut oil, I think. It's a little much on all of the popcorn, but if you mix it half and half with plain, it's pretty good.

Grab me a beer. I'll be there in two.

I think there’s still some leftover chocolate here? And I found coconut oil a while back.

[They’re probably terrible people holding a popcorn party over this, but like…Dante’s not gonna waste all this popcorn he made, are you kidding?

Anyway, as long as nobody tells Wei Wuxian or Jake, no harm done. In the meantime he’s just going to set out Natasha’s requested beer, which is something with a German name that Dante will not even bother to try to pronounce.]

Just a thought.

[True to her word, Natasha arrives a couple of minutes later wearing a hoodie that's too big for her and a tousled look.

She'd considered getting involved, trying to talk people down, but honestly?

Today, this is more her speed.

She picks the beer up off the counter and pops the cap, lifting it in a salute.]


How's the popcorn coming?
shishkabob: (the ceiling; i'll give you something to)

[Now he is pouring out a bowl of unflavored popcorn into the bowl, before going back to work on a pot full of chunks of chocolate he just now scrounged up from the fridge.]

It's coming. Gonna be honest with you, I've never tried flavoring it with anything harder than cheese powder before, so this'll be a hell of an adventure.

We don't have to. Just seems like fun. And like probably the best thing we could be doing for anyone right now is staying out of the way?
