This is Wei Wuxian. Hello!

Let’s all have a discussion conference!!!

"Young master Wei," you ask, "what’s a discussion conference?" Well, I'll tell you! Back home, it’s something the great cultivation sects do. They get together at regular intervals to talk about various important issues concerning them.

But discussion conferences aren’t all work. There are always games and competitions to start, like sword fighting and archery. And then, to follow, a banquet.

So! Let’s discuss! A lot has happened recently in this town, and I think we should share what we know or suspect. Some decisions need to be made, too. [ Regarding, for instance, Link’s post, as well as the book that was discovered. ] It’s better that we talk about them face-to-face. Magical tools like this one are convenient, but they have their disadvantages.

But it'll be boring if that's all we do, so I’ve got wine, food, and fireworks. Let's play games, let's eat, let's drink, and let's talk.

[ Is this just an excuse to have a summer party? This might be just an excuse to have a summer party. ]

So I hope you’ll all join me a week from today for the Chroma Discussion Conference!

Do we have to do the sword fighting if we come to the party?

[holycurse]

is there something wrong with sword fighting? i can offer a lesson or two if you aren't confident in it.

[asano_san]

I had a lesson once not long after I got here. But even two or three lessons aren't enough to make me not die against people who know what they're doing!

[espritdecorpse]

Relax! No one has to use live steel.




Unless they really want to!

[holycurse]

i don't think anyone would be planning to kill you though...at worst you might get a few cuts or bruises. the practice will help you build strength.

[holycurse]

discussion sounds like a very useful suggestion, coming from you! and competition would be wonderful to watch. i hope you'll be participating yourself?

[ "discussion sounds like a very useful suggestion, coming from you," is that a diss or???? ]

[espritdecorpse]

It would hardly be fair, I'd beat everybody!

[holycurse]

[Sshhh he said nothing.]

Are you sure about that? I'm sure Shifu would make a powerful competitor. And Pyra or Mythra as well.

[ Pyra or Mythra..... ]

[espritdecorpse]

Do you think they'll come?

Archery. Can make targets move.

[It won't be nearly as elaborate as the one hosted by Wen Ruohan, but... ]

[espritdecorpse]

Thanks! That would be great! Or we could just fly kites.
Also, we should have the competitions near the harbor, so we won't accidentally pelt anyone's house with arrows.

[alittlespicy]

[ You know... He has never played the kites game... He has at least seen it by this point? ]

Mn. Definitely clearing with few houses. Not growing vegetables either.

Harbor might be dangerous. Or it might be good.

[espritdecorpse]

We'll fly kites over the harbor and stand on the shore. No one should go in the water, of course!

A discussion conference sounds like a wonderful idea, Senior Wei!

[espritdecorpse]

It’s my idea so of course it is!

[ Only one person calls him Senior Wei! ]

[alwaysfacepalming]

Yes, of course.

I should like to participate in the competitions at the beginning of the conference.

You should, it will be good practice! You'll distinguish yourself, I'm sure!

But if my roommate, Maiden Red Saber challenges you, it's best to

[ After Nero spots the message on the network from the comfort of her own room, lounging in her own bed, moments pass, the silence in the house hanging in the air, practically undisturbed.

Until Nero flings open the door to her bedroom, and pokes her head out of the door to yell into the hallway: ]

That is a brilliant idea, Wuxian!

ahkfds

[espritdecorpse]

[ ....that was him jumping at the sudden noise. How do you retract a post? It's one of the many unfathomable mysteries of this place.

Anyway.

He closes his laptop for the moment and leaves his room to call after her: ]

It is, isn't it! You're coming of course, I won't let you say no!

[neronian]

[ Nero steps into the hallway, arms raised in the air in excitement, elegant yet showy hand and arm gestures accompanying her words for emphasis. ]

As if I would ever entertain the notion of refusing!

[ Umu! ]

Yes, yes, a discussion with food, drink, competition, and spectacle sounds magnificent! Hm, I cannot show up empty-handed of course. What sort of statesman [ stateswoman, whatever ] would I be if I did? Hmph, if it is a banquet the citizens desire, then it is a banquet the citizens shall have!

[espritdecorpse]

Why, thank you very much! I could use the help!

[ He pauses for a moment, looking for all the world like he wants to tell her something. In the end however, all he says is: ]

...though having a banquet for the whole town isn’t quite as large an undertaking as it used to be.
