{He is dressed like a proper Lan disciple. The robes are more comfortable - more familiar to him - and, of course, he can't ever dispense of his headband. The plucking of strings can be heard, but since the camera is focused on his face, the guqin isn't in view.}

I've tried several times to commune with spirits, but there doesn't seem to be any nearby.

{The idea occurred to him when he heard others talking about voids being places spirits travel through.}

I didn't know if that might be comforting to anyone. We're not among the dead.

{It is akin to a harp, though it is plucked horizontally instead of vertically.}

The strings give out a magical force when they are strummed. {And he can use it to physically knock an opponent out too. His guqin is made out of strong materials.}

A magical force? [He grinned] That sounds good sir! Did you do lots of fighting back where you are from?

video

[lansizhui]

Yes. Cultivators are trained to fight - usually from a young age. I have my sword with me too.

Re: video

[myblueskies]

You have a sword too! [He must be a very strong fighter!] What's a cultivator?

video

[lansizhui]

Someone who is trained to deal with spirits and monsters. We use our swords, talismans and the Lan Sect uses guqins.

{He is so skilled with his because he enjoyed the lessons he had with his adoptive father.}

[myblueskies]

To deal with? Do you fight spirits? [Wide eyes look through the screen.] Just bad ones though?

video

[lansizhui]

When they are violent. {He softens immediately.} I wouldn't hurt you.

[myblueskies]

Oh. [That's a relief!] Like ayakashi? They are bad. We fight them too!

video

[lansizhui]

I don't recognize that name? {But if it means vengeful spirit, he agrees.}

video

[myblueskies]

They are monsters and bad spirits! They want to ruin humans days and they like eating gods and their shinki! We got to fight to stop them from making everything bad!

But I've not seen any here! So that's good!

[lansizhui]

I would definitely stand against ayakashi in that case. {Anything that can eat a god must be powerful.} Your battles must be difficult.

I'm glad. {But...} We might come across them on a new world. We should be vigilant.

Re: video

[myblueskies]

They are sometimes scary but it is so important! Because we got to save all the people.

[He nodded, it was always important to be vigilant.] We will be! If we all keep an eye out we can help protect everybody!

video

[lansizhui]

That is what Cultivators try to do. Those who cannot fight spirits and monsters, we protect.

{He smiles warmly.} We should be well-equipped with so many eyes and ears.

[myblueskies]

We will be sir! So everyone will be safe.

[It was good to know there was someone else to help protect everyone!]

What's your name sir?
