Okay so at this point I can kind of accept the memories..I even kind of understand getting back powers. But..this..

[He holds up a sleek black flute with a red tassel dangling from the end of it.]

I don't even know how to play the flute and don't really have a whole lot of interest in learning. Does anyone know if I'll just magically wake up some day with an ability to play or should I just put this up on my shelf as some sort of decoration?

[He sets it back down and then picks up a piece of paper that is a few inches wide and about eight inches long with red designs scrolled across it.]

Also, anyone know what this is because I've been drawing them all morning and have a stack of various ones now that I'm afraid to touch in case I light the place on fire by accident. I just moved in here so I'd rather not mess it up. I'm really not mentally prepared to start having magic abilities..

[Is he stressed out? He might be slightly stressed..he's had far too many memories hitting him lately and now with the addition of these magic paper pieces and a flute he is starting to panic that the whole controlling ghosts things is in his very near future.]

[ There was, 'I'll be ok, things are crazy and I'm having trouble wrapping my head around it all' and there was 'I'll be ok, just going to go and do something reckless'... Wei was watched carefully for the later. ]

If its any consolation... I think you handled that really well.

[Living recklessly has always been Wei Wuxian's way of doing things. He just never expected that it would involve dealing with the dead.]

Thanks. Sorry for making you deal with my slight freak out.

[Ever since the memories started and now the powers..he feels like he is losing some part of himself. He doesn't want to become the guy in his memories but he wonders if that is inevitable.]

[ Tell him about it. The world was a crazier place than Anthony had ever imagined it could be. ]

Nah... It's why I came, isn't it, so you wouldn't be facing this on your own.

[chenqing_player]

You always seem to be coming to my rescue.

[His smile finally returns. Anthony is definitely one of the best friends that he has gotten out of this whole mess. And not just because he scored him a sweet new apartment.]

Does this mean if I get another power, I can count on you to come and make sure I don't blow myself up?

[serpentinthegarden]

[ Did he? Anthony leaned back giving that statement some curious reflection but didn't see fit to worry about it too much. It's what you do for friends... it just sounded a bit too soft to admit that! ]

You live in the flat below mine, you better not go around blowing anything up.

[ That would be a veiled 'yes'. ]

You need anything, lift home, stiff drink?

[chenqing_player]

[He laughs. He definitely doesn't want to blow up his or Anthony's new homes.]

It's a promise. And how about a lift home..after a stiff drink?
