[blindforlove]

No, I'm outside the building that I woke up in.

Why won't they let you leave? I'm relieved that you're all right, but you should be out here as well.

[noneforyou]

[ Finally, an advantage of this place being rather inexplicable: he doesn't have to come up with a reason for anything in his cover story. ]

i dont know

everything is weird here

do you know what this thing were communicating with is

[blindforlove]

[It makes sense that the man can't explain what's happening - everything is strange as it is - but Xiao Xingchen can't help feeling uneasy about whatever these people are doing to his friend.]

As long as you're safe. Though you might have it better right now, as the weather outside is terrible. We still can speak this way, at least, but you must alert me the moment they do anything to make you feel threatened.

I can explain to you all that I've learned about what we have here so far. It's a sort of magical tool simply called a device, and it sends messages faster than the blink of an eye.

[Speaking of which, Xiao Xingchen wonders if he should tell the man about a certain incredible development...]

[noneforyou]

i will daozhang

they havent done anything yet i just cant leave

but im glad i can talk to you

good thing your message was recognizable enough

[blindforlove]

[If it comes to is, he is 100% ready to break into somewhere to get his friend out.]

That is fortunate, as I doubt you'd identify me with this "name" I've been given. I've also been informed that its meaning is something inappropriate.

However, I haven't learned how to change it. This device has all sorts of uses that I still don't quite understand.

[noneforyou]

how is it inappropriate

do you have a kid

is little blind actually your daughter

is that why youre a sugar daddy

[blindforlove]

Do I truly come off old enough to have a child of her age? I believed you would know better about that sort of thing than me.

It's a man who supposedly provides for someone often younger, who they are often in a carnal relationship with.

[So embarrassing to say, but just in case his friend has to deal with the strange slang in this network or anything. Xiao Xingchen really has to see about changing this name already.]

[noneforyou]

[ ...

The idea of a carnal relationship is so hilariously unlike Xiao Xingchen that Xue Yang has to pause to laugh before he manages to compose his reply. ]

so does that make you my sugar daddy

you provided a lot for me

you cooked all the meals and we used your money to buy food

[blindforlove]

Perhaps so, but I believe you should avoid using this title, as I assume that last part is often assumed. People might get the wrong idea, if you mention it to anyone else.

[Xiao Xingchen isn't sure what the tone is like this. Is the man joking? Is he serious? At least when he writes a message, he doesn't have to have his own thin face on display as he would during a normal conversation about this subject.]

[noneforyou]

[ But imagine giving them the wrong idea about this pure, ethereal cultivator.

Still, Xue Yang sees an in to get more of his plan into place, so rather than push on what he assumes must be an embarrassing topic for Xiao Xingchen, he pivots. ]

speaking of anyone else

are all those messages from other people

are there lots of people out there daozhang

[blindforlove]

There are many people here from many different places. Some of these people likely do not know of cultivators. However, there are also cultivators here, even from a world that isn't our own.

The reasons for why we specifically have been brought here remain a mystery.

[noneforyou]

i see

hey daozhang

do me a favor

dont talk about me to other cultivators

i dont want to get involved with any of them

youre okay because youre daozhang

[blindforlove]

Not to worry. I fully understand.

There is someone here I never believed I would see again.

[In the figurative sense, but literally as well. He doesn't quite catch the difference as he types it out.]

[noneforyou]

thats because you cant see anyone daozhang

[ He leaves a deliberate pause, then, ]

how are you reading what i write anyway

[blindforlove]

I didn't realize that you were actually trying to make your messages difficult to read!

[Maybe he can give the man some help with the punctuation thing later.]

Perhaps I should have told you this first. When they brought me here, they gave my sight back to me.

[Xiao Xingchen is unsure whether his housemates in Yi City ever saw what his face looked like without the bandages - he took great care to not let them - but he supposes this way it's vague enough. His friend doesn't need to know that his entire eyes were gone.]

[noneforyou]

[ Even if Xue Yang didn't already know, the way the bandages sunk in a little too far sometimes would have indicated that things weren't exactly normal there. But he did, and A-Qing had no reason to find out, so he hadn't remarked on it.

He rolls with that now. ]

really

thats amazing

so now you can just see like normal

i wanna know what daozhangs eyes look like

[blindforlove]

They're nothing special.

However, I do wish I could see the face of the man I've lived with for the past years. I was thinking about it not too long after I could see once again.

[A pause as he considers that last message...]

Forgive me, I didn't mean for that to sound so strange.

[noneforyou]

it doesnt sound strange

id like to show daozhang

i dont want to be around any other cultivators but id show you

[blindforlove]

If only they weren't keeping you away.

Perhaps you're more safe there than out here, and that's what's most important. The person I'd never thought I'd see again is a man who despises me. If he ever somehow saw us together, you'd possibly be in great danger.

[noneforyou]

[ Xue Yang immediately realizes Xiao Xingchen is talking about him. It's a hilarious thought. ]

how can anyone despise you daozhang

[blindforlove]

You think of me too highly. Perhaps it's easier to hate me than you might have realized.

[It's not just from the man that he was speaking of, anyway.]

Meeting you was such a stroke of good fortune for me; I only wish that it won't be the opposite for you because of this.

[noneforyou]

well i cant do anything until i get out of here anyway

and then ill just avoid him

this isnt your fault so its not like youre bad luck for me yet

[blindforlove]

I can only hope that it's that easy. Until then, I will update you on everything that's happening here, so you'll be prepared when they finally release you.

I have a question about your treatment in there, however. Does what they feed you make you feel a bit strange?

[noneforyou]

strange

[ He deliberately leaves a bit of a pause before continuing. ]

maybe

i dont think so

its hard to tell i havent eaten too much of it yet

why is there something weird about it

[blindforlove]

I've also only eaten a little of the food provided. I suppose it's like a light fever, but I've never had one before, and I don't feel ill otherwise.

Perhaps it means nothing, but I'm unsure how much more of it I should eat. Just stay on your guard about everything you encounter here.
