Greetings sleepers!
[A soft warm voice belonging to a youthful face with a gentle smile appears on the network. With two fingers lightly placed on his temple, sitting on a tree stump looking just off center. His long white robes flow off camera, hiding the dirty bottom edges from sight. ] My name is Xie Lian. I've been here for the greater part of the winter season, and it's been quite [tilting his head and raising a single brow] the experience. [Managing a small wry smile at the loaded statement. ] But I'm afraid I'm still at a loss about a few things, and could use some clarification on two matters.
[With his free hand, he raises one finger up.] First off, how does one know who their patron is exactly? And what purpose do these patrons serve, or rather what purpose do we serve the patrons? [Quiet for a moment, mulling the thought over in his own mind before continuing. Another finger pops up. ]
And the second question is more general. [Honey brown eyes flash directly forward with an inquisitive gleam.] What do you all make of the pthumerians? Honestly I'm still trying to figure out my own thoughts, but getting different perspectives seems like a good place to start.
[OOC: I can adjust to prose or brackets!]

[ But it's embarrassing to talk about Shen Yuan so he doesn't, just moves right along. ]
Couple of Japanese exorcists, too. A martial arts dojo for kids. Handful of other immortals from other places.
[ The demons and ghosts of different cultures fascinate him - but mostly this tally is indicative of his spymaster tendency for information gathering and threat maintenance. ]

and downright nosey. ]And you said one was an exception? You either are a daoist or you're not, so how can thay be?no subject
Instead he tries to describe Shen Yuan's situation without letting a single emotion show on his face: ]
Ah, that guy. He's a transmigrator. Born into a futuristic society like most of the people here, died and reincarnated into the body of a cultivator from his past. But he remembers his first life. So he's a sect leader who doesn't really care about cultivation or purity. The world really is home to all sorts.
[ Despite everything, some fondness starts to creep in at the end there - he could easily talk about Yuan-di for hours. ]
