[Video]

[Currently sitting in a tiny room with lots of posters of famous performing groups along the wall. There is an obvious loud bass sound that is making the walls practically shake but not loud enough that he can’t talk. Wei Wuxian turns on the video looking a little less then his normal smiling self. He is clearly wearing makeup and glitter is along his cheeks. Dressed perhaps a bit more sparkly then the last time he met most of the people he is talking to.]

I think I've come off a little strong to some people lately..so I wanted to apologize. I've only had one memory so far so I can't really begin to understand a lot. I didn't realize how much of a stress it was or that you could get powers so..

[A knock comes at the door and a voice can be heard, "Xian, you're on in ten!"]

Got it!

[He turns back to the screen with a sheepish look on his face.]

Anyway..if I ever seem too pushy..I guess I just get a little excited sometimes. I've never had a family so to have this group that shares something with me..it kind of felt like I did for the first time. And so I really want to look out for everyone. Even if I haven't really accepted this 'gift' or whatever it is that has been given...if anyone ever needs to talk or just wants a distraction from their memories, you can totally give me a ring.

[He reaches up and rubs the side of his nose with a finger, unsure if he should even really be on the network.]

I guess that's all I want to say..It really is nice to meet all of you on here.

A very ge--... genro...

[ Nah, as sloshed as he was that word wasn't going to happen. ]

It's kind. Whoa, this stuff catches up with you quick, doesn't it?

[ He swayed as he moved to stand up, but managed to sit back down on his chair before he landed on the dance floor. Which he decided was the funniest thing ever and worthy of having a hearty laugh over. ]

Failure to launch! I better get a cab...

[bearshermark]

Yeah, for sure. I think it's important that we stick together, too. I'm happy to consider you a friend.

[traceofeffort]

Ew, one of those. Yeah, no, I'll let you keep those. I hope other-me doesn't have any ghost stories or I'll freak.

...or well, that kinda came out wrong. I'm sure you don't really want them either if they're like that.

[chenqing_player]

I definitely didn't want it but I guess I've got no choice. I'm just hoping its a save the best for last kind of deal and I'm just getting the bad one out of the way first.

[chenqing_player]

[Wei Wuxian laughs and stands up.] Those can definitely knock you on your ass if you aren't careful. A bit stronger then wine.

[He walks around to help Anthony up, signaling to one of the staff in the code that says we need a cab or driver which sends them straight into action.]

A cab will be here by the time we reach the door. You ready?

[chenqing_player]

Great! My name is Wei Wuxian. What's yours?

[bearshermark]

Oh, I'm Elliott. Elliott Naueri. We talked before about the power thing. Might have forgotten to introduce myself though. Sorry about that.

[chenqing_player]

Ah right! Sorry..if we did or didn't. My memory isn't always the best. It's good to talk again. How does the power thing go? Any easier to use?

[bearshermark]

Yeah, I think I've got a good handle on them now. Ish.

Have you gotten anymore memories?

[chenqing_player]

Nope, still just the one. I'm wondering if maybe it was a fluke and I'm not meant to get any others.

[bearshermark]

That would be a relief, but my mom hasn't gotten any yet others yet, either. ...Or if she has, she hasn't mentioned them. There was someone else that said his were triggered by things, but mine mostly come to me in my sleep.

I guess it might just be different for everyone.

[chenqing_player]

So your mom gets them too? So this thing might be hereditary?

[He wonders if whomever his parents are have to deal with this too..Can he blame people he doesn't know?]

[bearshermark]

[He hesitates]

..Well, technically I'm adopted, so I don't really know.

[serpentinthegarden]

Ready as I'll evar...

[ He stood again, swayed, and landed quiet heavily on Wei's shoulder. ]

Ooops!

[chenqing_player]

[He flinches but somehow manages to keep him upright.]

Don't make me call Bernie..He'll throw you over his shoulder and carry you out of here. It's not pretty.

[He is smiling though as he tries to put Anthony's arm over his shoulder to help support him.]

[chenqing_player]

Really? Ah..well I guess it wouldn't matter if it was. I don't know my parents so I guess I wouldn't be able to blame them.

It's cool that your adopted parents can relate though.

[bearshermark]

Just my mom, but yeah. It was weird at first, but now I'm glad I don't have to keep it secret from her.

[darkforcerising]

Well, don't let anything radioactive bite you.

[ashenscipher]

I know I appreciate indoor plumbing a lot more now.

[serpentinthegarden]

Oooo yeaaa... I don't want to meet a Bernie, not when I have an Az--... Aziq--... Art restorer boyfriend.

[ Anthony sucked in a breath as he tried to stand upright and sort of managed a swinging shuffle-like walk that was more dance than proper gait, but it saw the pair of them safely to the door. ]

[chenqing_player]

Makes it easier when you have people you can share it with. I guess that's why the network is so useful. This is my first time actually..calling on it. I've only talked to you and a couple other people through it but it is useful.

[chenqing_player]

[At least he now knows how many of those drinks are his limit. Anthony is a lot heavier then he looks..He sees Bernie coming and waves the big man off. He can handle the short distance that is left.]

I see your cab. Do you remember where you live?

[chenqing_player]

I'll try to make sure I avoid anything like that. If you see any radioactive swarms around, make sure to give me a heads up.

[chenqing_player]

[He laughs and gives a nod.]

If my vision is any indication..I'm going to be very grateful for that too.

[serpentinthegarden]

Do I remember... Like I could forget that!

[ Though his face briefly took on a panicked expression as he teetered up to the cab down and tumbled into the back seat. As soon as he hit the padded seat he remembered and was able to tell his address to the cabbie. ]

It's been a great party.

[ Only it wasn't really a party... Just run with it. ]

Thanks Wei.
