[He's about to say "seriously???" but hm. Right. Brothel. Also, Zero as a person in general.]
And I don't know how to bake but I probably couldn't screw up too much. So much for getting what we wanted. [There's an annoyed frown.] Was your prize even worth the effort?
Not even close. Doesn't even work on anything from what I can tell. [Don't mind him, he's wandering closer to the titty-fucking cake to look.] What was it?
[Well. Okay, sure, he doesn't care much and he looks a little confused then.] A necklace filled with dirt. Could you get it open to see the dirt inside? [ And to be sure to be fair:] We got chalk. Not very useful either.
One of the people scribbling on the walls might mug you for it.
[ a new ~*writing implement*~ after all. ]
And no, I'm just wildly guessing about what's inside it. [ a beat ] The top can be unscrewed, but I'm going to try and eat the stuff to figure out what it is.
What, you don't think I could take them if they tried? [His twink arms are maybe sometimes useful.] Eating it doesn't sound that effective, but if the top can be opened...maybe it's supposed to go somewhere else. Who can say?
That announcement did say they hoped we'd learn from their mistakes or whatever. If their mistakes were sitting around and doing nothing, we're already ahead of them.
It's an idea to think on, sure. He's dealt with this kind of thing at home so if anyone could figure it out I would think it'd be him. Maybe something to look into more in a few days?

[ hm deja vu ]
Are you kidding me? Just a lapdance? I'd take that over this cooking bullshit any day.

Mine for yours, got it? [ and before he can even agree or not, she barrels ahead. ah, it wasn't a question, it was an order. ]
A necklace filled with dirt - I'm just stunned with all the possible ways to use it.

Great, I'll keep an eye out for somewhere that looks too clean. [ that probably wasn't what he was suggesting? ]

[Did they really leave it with Zero...]
no subject
[ zero that might not be how it works... ]
Did one of you get a note too?
no subject
I've been keeping our team's note, yeah. Can't read anything it says but it's probably important.

If they're going to give us something, they should at least make it legible.

Maybe this is why the last bunch kicked the bucket. They kept waiting on things to make themselves clear right up until they died.

Speaking of staying ahead, I think I found someone who knows more about ghost summonings than either of us. That dumbass, Wei Wuxian. Know him?

And yeah, I did - he has no idea how it'll work, but he didn't say it couldn't.

Laundry room should be free right about now. Good luck.

Yeah, whatever.
