I've taken a liaison position at the DOA. My goal will be to ensure Outlanders always get the resources they need to thrive, as well as assist in any political quagmire you find yourselves in. I've introduced myself to local authorities in a variety of mundane and magical positions of power and I'll continue to network until I am confident I have all the connections necessary to serve your best interests efficiently. If you find yourself in need of an official go-between, or just someone to do a bit of social maneuvering for you, please don't hesitate to seek me out. I enjoy verbal sparring much more than the physical kind.

Any chance you have your mother's impeccable taste in interior decorating? I need to pick up a few things to make my office less sterile and I would like a chance to take you to lunch.

Would you two mind if I put up an easel near the balcony windows? The light in the afternoon is really spectacular. It might get a little messy but I've seen your lab when you're in the middle of a breakthrough.

I enjoyed the magic symposium. It made me want to experiment more with my own magic. Well, a mixture of my magic, the zidian, and the magic of the totem. I think I'm on my way to managing a sort of storm cloud with lightning. Aiming the energy is proving difficult, but it's possible I just need a more inspiring target.

Anyone always wanted to be struck by lightning?

You've had some time to settle in and adjust to the chaos of this place. What do you want to do if this is where you spend the rest of your life? You were born into leadership but you have some flexibility here.

Okay. So like its not mine. But I found something out in the forest that is giving off seriously bad juju.

( Picture below cut )

Does it mean anything to anyone?

Plan nothing for next Monday. I require you.

Who is able to fix the maker of coffee?

As convenient as the Waypoints are, it seems high time that I learn how to drive a proper vehicle. Has anyone any advice for going about that?

[Dorian]

I suppose at some point I'll learn to stop questioning your judgement. Thank you for helping me see sense even when I stubbornly refused to do so.

[Quentin and Eliot (and Lan Xichen)]

Our Most Gracious Hosts,

Thank you again for dinner on Sunday. Both Lan Huan and I had a marvellous time; the food was splendid and the company moreso. We both look forward to doing it again sometime soon.

Your friend,
Wm. Laurence

P.S. I very well may have to bother you for that cookie recipe at some point.

Thank you for the message device. I have watched your music story and listened to your words. I also thank you for your strange money and patience.

NOW I HAVE TOLERATED ENOUGH. PLEASE END THIS CRUEL JOKE AND LET ME RETURN OR MY UNCLE WILL HEAR ABOUT THIS.






[auto-translated from Mandarin]

Did anyone else feel that...offness? IDK how to describe it.

But not good, whatever it was.

[ Filtered to Wei Ying ]

It feels like we're getting away with something.

I am very happy.

Thank you to those who have sent their regards in honor of my upcoming wedding with Wei Wuxian. Your kindness brings joy to our home. I realize that I have not been easy to work with regarding the planning of the event; it took me a while to determine the meaning of 'Bridezilla' I humbly apologize for being opinionated with how I wish the day to go. We would not have had such an opportunity back home. I did not want to hide it beneath a curtain. We are fortunate to be here, among such friends.

[OOC: Delivered via cultivation magic to all Outlanders & a bunch of locals that Lan Wangji & Wei Wuxian are friends with, the envelope will turn into a harmless shower of gold butterflies after opened, but the invitation will remain intact.]

YOU'RE
INVITED

So Sparky's becoming a distinguished 36 today and while we all know he loves attention, we're going to have a small dinner at Lotus Pier. I hope you can all join us, we promise Yanli's in charge of cooking, WWX and I are just going to stick to chopping and peeling.

[ FILTERED TO JIANG CHENG ]
And then after dinner, I've booked us a suite at Galdin Quay so you can be pampered all weekend.

[ooc; backdated to yesterday morning!]

Who: Laurence and Lan Wangji
What: Laurence meets Lan Wangji
When: First week of October
Where: Cloud Recesses
Warnings: Nah

( Laurence became aware, suddenly, that the silence had stretched on just a little *too* long, and that he’d have to make the first greeting after all )

I've been here ten months. Never has it felt more like home.

[ Filtered to Wei Ying ]

I have selected a set of robes for our wedding.

[ /Filter ]

Characters: Brothers Lan Wangji and Lan Xichen
Where: Cloud Recesses
When: September 1st-ish
What: Lan Wangji tries to convince Lan Xichen to end his isolation.
Rating: PG, these are classy bois

( Kicking and screaming on Lan Xichen looked more like staring soulfully into the middle distance. Pressing his fingertips against one another. Closing his eyes in consternation. )

My morning's been weird and it's got nothing to do with spontaneous singing, but two things:

1) People who work for the DOA welcoming committee need pay increases

and

2) Don't scratch my ears because I will slash your face

RIP to my frappuccino.

I was wondering if you would do me and Wei Ying the honor of playing your violin during our upcoming nuptials. We have yet to set a date, but will let you know as soon as we've made that decision.

[ Filtered to Untamed Crew + George Weasley ]

My cultivation is off. I can't quite determine how - the feel is wrong, like trying to see long distance through the fog. Have any of you experienced similar difficulties?

[ Filtered to WWX ]

You have been neglectful in your training and dreaming when you should be paying attention. Is there something weighing on your mind?
