[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's relieved to see him and should apologize about the voice mail..flooding.]

Coming on too strong..means he has a lot of people who want to look out for him. That can be a good thing, right?

[ Anthony's phone has been blowing up all week. His messages simply joined the horde. ]

It can be.

Except when that drives some one to run around all over bloody New York making it harder to find him before he keels over.

[He hangs his head. So guilty of causing that...]

Fair enough...I really am sorry about all of that.

[ Anthony exhaled deeply, speaking as the air escaped. ]

Yeah... don't worry about it. I found him in time. It all worked out.

[He fidgets a little in his seat and pulls at a loose sequins on his sleeve.]

You aren't mad at me...right?

[ Another sigh. ]

No... I'm not mad at you. It's just been a Hell of a week.

[Relief washes over him like a tidal wave. His smile finally returns.]

I don't suppose you need someone to talk about it with. I already said I'm open to anyone who wants to talk or needs a distraction.

Not over the network. I've got enough to deal without everyone knowing about it.

Where are you playing?

It's a club called "The Lotus". I can send you the address. I'm on pretty soon and my set is usually about an hour. Then I do whatever I want and wander around the club. I can tell them you are coming so they should let you right in.

[He types in the address and sends it.]

Don't be disappointed if I can't make it. It depends really on how Alec is doing and about a dozen other things, but God... I could use a drink.

[ He saved this message for later just in case. ]

You'll have your own personal server and the drinks are on me. Your cousin obviously comes first, but the offer is open ended.

[ He grimaced. ]

Oo, it would be a shame to miss that. I'd feel like royalty.

[ So maybe... on one of those occasions when he was meant to be going home to catch up on sleep he might have taken a longer side route, a happy detour that brought him around to the club instead. Anthony would be two drinks and feeling a good deal less pain when Wei finished his set. ]

[Once done, he takes a few minutes to get cleaned up before heading out onto the floor. He grabs himself a drink and finds Anthony with a bright smile.]

Glad you made it!

[ Anthony waved lazily over his drink in welcome before pointing at the fruity thing ]

I have no idea what this is but, wow... it's powerful.

That was a good show. I missed the first half of it but that rest, you were good!

[He laughs as he plops down next to him.]

This place likes everything to be flashy. Even its drinks. That one is one of my favorites. I like strong things.

[There might be a slight redness to his cheeks as he gets complimented.]

Thanks. You got to see the best part. The crowd was really into it, which makes me have more energy. Now I get to be paid to drink for the rest of the night.

[Technically his job is to flirt and encourage people to drink more, buy him drinks and spend more money..]

Been there. I sorta miss getting paid to drink with people but...

[ He raised his witches brew to toast Wei in congratulations. ]

I like plants too.

[He raises his glass in toast.]

You didn't really tell me about your job much did you?

[Wei Wuxian doesn't have the best of memories and he tries to think back to their last meeting.]

You work with plants?

Didn't I?

[ He tried to think back on the conversation too but his mind was way too foggy with drink. ]

The New York Botanical Garden. I'm the head of living collections. I make sure all the plants are doing well, work with them when they aren't, help plan events that involved the plants... ooo tons of planty things.

Wow..that must be pretty hard work. What kind of events are there that focus on plants?

[He hasn't ever really explored the Botanical Gardens but now knowing someone that puts a lot of work into them..maybe he should.]

We just installed an art exhibit, KUSAMA: Cosmic Nature. Works by the artist all over the gardens with plantings to match. It took us a ridiculous amount of time to get it all ready. And there was the Gala before that. Meet and Greet with the artist...

[ Unfortunate life choices... Anthony sipped his drink. ]

You ever wish for a do-over?

A do-over? [How about that little phone call the other night...]

Yeah..you could say I've had wishes of some do-overs. [Sips his drink.]

Why? Did something happen at one of your events?

[ Yea after he had asked it occurred to him Wei had a very recent bought of screw ups himself. Well, they could commensurate their bad moves over a glass of purple stuff. ]

Ohhh yeah, something happened. I asked my long term girlfriend to marry me at the Gala on Sunday...

[ Before Wei could burst into a round of congratulations Anthony took a deep breath and continued. ]

By Monday night I had called it off and started dating a man.

[ But wait it gets better! ]

Alec had his attack at about the same time the family found out so calls of congratulations have turned into calls about him and my mental health... Oh, not over the man thing. I never mentioned that part to Grace, I didn't have time to, but I confessed about the whole memory thing and being a potential demon... For some reason they think that makes me unhinged.

[It's a good thing his glass was sitting on the table because he probably would have dropped it.]

That's one hell of a weekend..[And now he drinks..a lot of his drink as he lets all that information swirl in his brain.]

So basically now your family thinks you should be in a mad house or rehab of some sort. [reasons to be glad he doesn't have a family]

So which part would you do-over? Not propose to your girlfriend?

[ One hell of a weekend, Anthony agreed and would have toasted the observation only he appeared to have finished his drink some time during all that. He couldn't even recall when but in the spirit of getting hammered and forgetting it all he asked for another of the same. ]

It would be more normal to say I wish I would have stayed away from the guy. I've only known him a month... but it feels like so much longer! I was going to! We had a meeting planned and I was going to call it off, everything, just end everything... only when I saw him the opposite happened.

I wish I had never proposed to Grace. She got hurt, Alec got hurt, I might be looking at a straight jacket, and I did it all to myself.

Ahh..[It's like a light switch just turned on the light bulb in Wei Wuxian's brain. He is definitely going to need more alcohol but lucky for him the waitresses don't usually even wait for his glass to be empty.]

So the do-over goes way back. So this guy..is it like, fate or something? Or more simple like lust? Cause if you broke an engagement over lust that's pretty crappy..but if it's more then that..like some sort of destiny then no matter what choices you made the outcome might be the same. Some force may be pulling you together and there is no way to turn it down. Sucks for the other parties still..but you never could have seen that coming.

Does he also get the visions?
