[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.

[He smiles and give Anthony's shoulder a squeeze once he knows the man is secure and all is good.]

Anytime. I'm glad you came. Get home safe and I'll see you later!

[He shuts the door and steps back, holding his hand up in a wave]

[traceofeffort]

It certainly doesn't seem to come in any kind of order. Which is fine with me, really. But I hope they get better for you from here. It sucks seeing stuff you don't wanna deal with and just having it there all the time.

[chenqing_player]

Thanks. I hope for good memories for all of us. No one should have to deal with seeing unpleasant things.

[ Anthony waved back but the cabbie hit the gas so hard and so fast that he was thrown back into the cushions of his seat before he could get more than a wave or two out. But he was on his way home to sleep off the booze and his troubles. ]

[ashenscipher]

Did your memory involve a castle?

[chenqing_player]

It wasn't a castle but it was definitely a time really long ago. I could tell just from the clothes everyone was wearing. Definitely not modern times.

[bearshermark]

Yeah. I'm happy to chat anytime if you need to. I know it's a lot to go through.

[chenqing_player]

Thanks! I'm sure I'll be chatty whenever I get the inevitable second dream.

[bearshermark]

Fair enough.

Hey, what kind of performer are you?

[chenqing_player]

I sing and dance. I'm a soloist at the club Lotus. It's kind of a nightclub but every day they do live acts instead of just DJs. Keeps things more interesting. I perform several nights a week and when I'm not performing I get to basically be a very sparkly host.

[He laughs as he brushes his hands over the sequin jacket.]

[bearshermark]

[Elliott grins]

That sounds really awesome. The look suits you.

[chenqing_player]

Thanks so much! [He waves his hand towards a small clothing rack covered in various sequin and glittery apparel.]

I've got a whole wardrobe of over the top clothing.

[and even jars of glitter all over his makeup counter. need to achieve that disco ball status.]

[bearshermark]

[He laughs]

Wow, you must be really popular there to have a whole wardrobe like that.

[chenqing_player]

I do make them a lot of money. [He grins, clearly pleased about how popular he is at the club.]

I bring in the largest crowds on my performance nights, and I make them the most money when I hit the floor. Part of my job is to kind of..flirt? basically go around and talk to people, get them to drink more, buy me drinks...spend money.

[He's not ashamed to admit he gets paid to party.]

[bearshermark]

[He laughs even harder, feed shaking a bit as he struggles to hold it steady]

That's pretty shameless, but I guess it works out, huh? That sounds like a fun job. Seems like you're enjoying it, too.

[chenqing_player]

If there was a ranking of shamelessness, my name would be at the top of the list!

[He's grinning like that is a medal of honor.]

It is a lot of fun and I get to meet a lot of people. Obviously sometimes there are jealous boyfriends or girlfriends that want to tear my head off..but it's all part of the game.

[bearshermark]

[Elliott beams.]

Must have good security too, then.

[chenqing_player]

Definitely. They don't let things get too out of hand. All they have to do is walk up and everyone backs down.

[traceofeffort]

Thank you, really. I think I'll be okay, but some of the others could really use that. I'm not sure I'm really the right person to talk through your memories, because I am kinda squeamish, but if you need anything else, let me know, okay?

[chenqing_player]

Definitely! I'm just glad to meet more people that have to go through this too! If I have a less terrible memory, I will definitely share it with you.

[traceofeffort]

Sounds good! I'll be looking forward to it. Take care until then, all right?

[chenqing_player]

You as well!

[bearshermark]

That sounds really cool.

[chenqing_player]

It's kind of funny too though because to talk to them they are actually really nice.

[bearshermark]

Just intimidating on the outside, huh? Nice.
