Okay. CA, consonant, consonant, vowel, consonant consonant. Not a person or an object, something a sword would know, not something that's a descriptor or a title...
[Scribbling.] Third letter is from the first half of the English alphabet. So A-M. [Is. Is that the first half? Sure.]
[i can't believe i have to fudge a ye olde's knowledge of an alphabet that didn't exist in his time for this, because communication in mgs is fuckin wild]
Mm, nope. Would you give me another pour?
[He says, and only then finishes his drink and holds the cup out. JUNPEI'S THE ONE WHO NEEDS A DRINK HERE.]
Yeah. [He'll do that, letting himself think...what in the fuck would these things mean with that letter set up and combination and something they'd both know and fit the theme because--
...wait a fucking minute. He slams the cup down suddenly now that it's full.]
Holy shit. [NO. TIME TO SLUMP ON THE BAR AGAIN...except he's like. Laughing? Like a delirious man. Ahah. Hah.] Of course...Izuminokami wouldn't think it's weird because it's a fucking fish, except it's also not and that's how it fits. And the job is to lure out the others.
Right? You're supposed to pretend you don't have a role and try to attract other people to you. Or something like that.
[Somewhere, you can hear the small sound of Junpei's tears that will never escape because he's fucking expired.]
A catfish is a person who pretends to be someone else. Usually it's online, like the internet which I'm not explaining right now but it's a digital space. They steal someone else's identity, basically, to trick people into giving them information or fall in love with them. Usually they're the complete opposite of who they pretend to be.
[And now that at least ONE FUCKIN PERSON has successfully gotten that he inherited Kanesan's role, he feels like he can rest a little easier, too. This afternoon was a trip, man.]
She did! Said you could order things from Costco online and have it sent directly to your house! Haha, the future sure is something else.
Always do. [He's honored to be that one because goddamn did he earn it]
Of course she did. [He's grinning a little though.] Not just Costco though. You can order just about anything online from around the world and have it sent directly to you without ever having to go to another store ever again. It's kind of crazy.
The entire world. Beck and I are both from Earth, and the world is really big. Maybe you just don't have them yet? Don't give up hope, man. [He's joking now because he's regaining some gremlin energy but he does wonder if being in a place like this means things in other timelines will change once people return to where they came from.]
[They absolutely will, Wei Wuxian is going back to ancient China and inventing lube and condoms.]
Well! If there's a way to bring things like that back once we get out of this mess, I'll be certain to do so. That's one good thing about ending up here!
[That he now knows about COSTCO and the INTERNET.]

Other way around? And the word starts with C and then an I. [He's going to kill himself before the demons can.]

[He really doesn't have any patience, it's just that this is like a FUNNY GAME TO HIM.]
no subject
C and an A, both letters are consonants. I can do this all day man.
no subject
[HE IS ABSOLUTELY DELIGHTED.]
I could, too - don't worry, don't worry.
[Is that really reassuring, though. Does anyone want to be up all night playing guessing games with Wei Wuxian.]

[Setting his glass down to APPLAUD JUNPEI'S EFFORT. And then taking a little victory sip, mm yes.
Anyway he only knows the fucking fish so here we are. LIKE HE ASSUMES IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH SEX IN SLANG BUT DAMN IF HE KNOWS FOR SURE.]

Nope. [HM.] What's the other meaning, anyway? I assumed it had one but couldn't exactly go asking around for an answer without looking suspicious.

[He's just gonna be here snickering to himself, a completely useless-to-Junpei existence. At least... he's not bongo-ing his head.]
Anyway, you don't have to explain that, Beck already did.

Did Beck tell you about the internet when she told you about Costco?

Ah—! The entire world?! She didn't mention that part! The stores, yes, but - the world! Imagine that!
[Junpei doesn't have to, he's from the future??]
I don't know how I'm meant to survive now, knowing things like that exist but we don't have them!
