[ Hi, Xiao! Guess who's knocking on your cabana door? It's Wei Wuxian.
Here's here for the Strange Brick update. ]

Me again!
[ He grins, letting himself in. ]
I do, actually. I haven't taken the brick apart like I promised, but I did find out how to use it.

Well, these bricks let us access a "network". We also have a game on it and a notepad "application".
[ These words may be foreign to Wei Wuxian, but he at least is bright enough to pick up on their uses quickly. ]

I have!
[ He opens it up. Looks like Wei Wuxian already has a note started…
It’s a list of the alcohol and drinks he’s had, followed by a rating. ]
You press the “plus” button and can create a new note. Don’t go adding your murder plans to this, though. Anyone could read them if you leave your brick somewhere.

[ His eyebrows raise at that first statement. Xiao seems incredibly sincere and, well… to the point. Reminds him a little of Lan Wangji a little bit.
Even so, Wei Wuxian can’t be completely certain if he’s telling the truth. But that’s no matter. ]
I’d be careful with that. I’m sure they can access these. At least, if I were in their position, I would ensure I could see everything written on these bricks.

Assume anything they’ve set up for us can be viewed by them. I’m sure they’re waiting to see if we do slip up and put things like that on our bricks. Stick to the pen and paper for now.
[ He smiles a little. ]
I might just be paranoid, though.

[ He doesn't like the idea of them being all-knowing, but...yeah, that's not something he's going to rule out, either. ]
Approaching things with a bit of caution in our predicament will probably work out in your favor.
[ Don't die, buddy. ]
Hm. I will see where I can acquire these writing materials. I would prefer to keep things handwritten.

[ Maybe so, but this instinct is all a result of the bad things that have happened to him.
Guess they have some kind of benefit. ]
The gift shop, maybe. I hope you like having images birds all over your journal! Hahaha!

I think you're an amusing guy. That's all.
[ And he was trying to bully Xiao. Seems like it was ineffective.
Guess he'll try harder. ]
Shall I pick out a journal for you and deliver it sometime?

[ Wherever he is, Wei Wuxian happens upon Xiao pacing around late on Friday night. Xiao certainly doesn't seem like one to pace of all things, so he immediately knows something is up.
Well, more than general atmosphere being completely off. ]
Ah, Xiao. What is it?

[ His pacing isn't quite as panicked as it could be, but it's still an unusual form of behavior for someone with his demeanor.
He turns to look at Wei Wuxian with some surprise on his expression. ]
You're awake. ... It's nothing.
[ Clearly, it's something. ]

Nothing. You think I’m going to believe that?
[ Come on. He knows you don’t pace, Xiao. ]
What is it?
[ Come on. He knows you don’t pace, Xiao. ]
What is it?
Right. The kind of flight that precedes death.
[ Just causal spooky things, you know. ]
But you didn’t seem quite as worked up before. Did all that rumbling get to you?
[ Wei Wuxian saw the periphery of the group, but decided to stay back and out of the way. ]

Serious people like you never realize you’re amusing.
[ But anyway. ]
I insist. I’ll get you a whole matching set. I better see you using it.

Even so, things still bother you, do they not?
[ For instance, Wei Wuxian annoying the hell out of him. ]
Were any of you able to take care of that… whatever it was?
