Pets can shame their humans too

[The camera is a little shaky as it moves through corridors, twisting and turning. Whoever this mysterious poster is he is moving slowly, as if he were exploring somewhere dangerous and frightening.

There is a noise in the background and as the phone gets closer it is recognisable as singing. The phone moves around a door to a kitchen where Shen Wei can be found at a chopping board surrounded by various ingredients, meat and vegetables.

He is singing as he works. In full flow of the song. There's a soft laugh from whoever this mysterious individual with access to Shen Wei's temple might be.

The image fades and refocusing, clearly later. Or another day. It's hard to say but the camera is now at a different angle, as if the filmer might be in a tunnel, or hidey hole close to the ground.

This time Shen Wei at the oven, frying meat, boiling noodles and once again he is singing as he works.

The footage is posted with just a single line in text.]

See he is not as stuffy and strict as he makes out to be!

I've had few of those as well. Loyal followers, yes, but true allies are rare. As for what I can do... this place has given me the ability of making charms on paper. Beyond that, I have the ability to learn. I see someone using their powers and then I can use it as well.

Not that I'm aware of. He may have a few but it would be a lot like me and more of a title than actual alias.

[ Considering that he spent a few thousand years imprisoned and has just as much ego as Shen Wei, he doubts that he would even care to use one. ]

Not like a Yashou. Just the ability to change hair and clothing and heal minor wounds. We are twins and while our powers differ some what, we still have enough similarities in that regard.

[Is it time to stop being surprised? Nope, time for more surprise.]

Do you have to understand how it works? Or is seeing it enough? Do you have to actively realize a power is in play to copy it or would you know innately?

[cloakedinruins]

[ There is a reason why people fear him and why the Treaty had locked his abilities so he could only use a small amount at a time. ]

No. Seeing is enough. My ability picks it up even if I'm not aware of it being in action right away. I can develop it further than the initial user is aware of as well, but that does take me some time analyzing it and practicing it.

[ Which isn't that much of a lie even though his idea of 'some time' was equal to 'give me about ten minutes and I can use it better than you'. ]

[unlucky7]

Wow. Is there anything you can't do?

[cloakedinruins]

I can't use a computer very well and I tend to blow up electronics if I'm around them too much. I also have a very hard time saying no to Zhao Yunlan.

I probably have a lot more things I cannot do in all honesty.

[unlucky7]

Remind me to never give you my phone. And since he's my coworker, I have a very easy time saying no to Zhao, but he has that kind of charisma and charm, doesn't he. My boyfriend is similar so I get it.

Probably, but it's still pretty cool you can kinda do everything.

So don't become a villain.

[cloakedinruins]

I'm pretty sure that the phone I got from this place is going to die one of these days. It already likes to make odd snapping sounds when I try to talk into it.

I suppose so, though really I only do what I can learn.

I have no reason to become a villain. Unless it's to make Zhao Yunlan clean up his room.

[unlucky7]

If your phone dies, let me know what happens after that? I've always wondered if we get new phones or something if one breaks or gets lost and I can't afford to find out the hard way.

Oh? Is he a slob?

[cloakedinruins]

I will.

Yes. He hasn't manage to turn his living space into a bio-hazard zone yet, but that might be due to the fact that he has only been here for a couple months. And I also clean while he's sleeping those times I stay over.

[unlucky7]

Shen Wei, you're his boyfriend, not his maid. If you like cleaning, okay, fine, but it's not your responsibility.

You could always shame his sloppiness on the network. Public shaming seems to be all the rage now.

[cloakedinruins]

I don't mind cleaning. I find it relaxing and since I don't sleep as much as humans, it doesn't bother me to pick things up while I'm there.

Ginia. This is Zhao Yunlan we are talking about. He doesn't get shamed by anything. He's shameless.

[unlucky7]

I guess if you don't mind. Make sure he appreciates it, okay?

...So you'll do it to give everyone else something to laugh about, right?

[cloakedinruins]

He does, even if he grumbles about it.

You think that people would find it funny?

[unlucky7]

Good.

I'd find it hilarious.

[cloakedinruins]

I can always send you pictures unless you feel like laughing about it with others.

[unlucky7]

An enticing offer. It would give me something to tease him about at work.

[cloakedinruins]

It takes him about a week to start accumulating enough debris to look like a college student's party room. I can take a picture then.

[unlucky7]

Excellent. You're the best.

Want me to send you pictures of him at work in exchange? Or does he do that already?

[cloakedinruins]

He actually doesn't send me anything like that. Just more... private ones. So, if you wish it would be fine.

[unlucky7]

I'm not surprised he sends you lewd pictures. Not surprised at all.

I'll grab some photos of him working the next time he comes in.

[cloakedinruins]

I don't really stop him even though I should remind him that the cat may see them.

[ Also Shen Wei tends to blush at the mere thought of those pictures before getting more determined to hunt Yunlan down for some quality time. ]

Thank you.
