Well he probably wouldn't try to kill you, if he were real and not a fae, that's one thing to start with, but I know that's a pretty low target to hit. And I didn't mean to say it wouldn't change anything at all! But it wouldn't change anything about you, that is no less true, except maybe how you feel. That could change, but how you are wouldn't, because you're already a very inquisitive and determined and righteous sand cultivator, as well as a very good disciple we are glad to have. Does the 😈🌼 pot have to be the same one that should exist when you are born, or can there be a different one that's also good enough? Can someone else make one, later? Maybe that's also scary to think about, and not the usual way, but. Maybe it's not that unusual either. And maybe the original pot that may not exist wasn't any good, and getting a personally made one is better in the end. Some certain things a ghost can say.
Hang on. The gems aren't part of the money? They're part of the resurrecting? So you still need money too? That's pretty practical for a divine decision, but a little anticlimactic, too. I don't know how I feel about this.
They can't hurt. Make sure they're 🗡️ appropriate gifts! Not 🌳 gifts. Clean it, store it properly--Is this what it feels like to be ☁️? 👻🤔😵. A fitting name, don't cut fruit with it, keep it with you, 👻🤔😵🙀🙃.
[If that isn't such a weird feeling, to be so fretful and absorbed in thinking about a father that may or may not want her, and then to be reminded of her two very good shifus for whom there's no question. A buoy where she didn't expect one to be--and yet a smidge of guilt for being unsure if those things are of equal measure.]
...I don't know. That's a lot of 👻 questions and 👻 maybes. I don't know what makes a pot a good one. Not having to make it yourself? Not having to fight for it? Is that a good answer? Maybe it's not even about the pot being good or not. I can't imagine any pot being bad, but if it was, then it was still mine. Someone still made a space for 😈🌼. ...But maybe a ☁️-shifu wouldn't want me to say that. I should have a good pot. A bad one is no good. Don't tell him I said the other thing. It's just hard, and maybe a 😈🌼 is being silly about wanting a specific pot that might not exist, regardless of whether it's good or bad.
What do you mean, you don't know how to feel about this? Is that so weird for magic to have specific components? Does your ✨ just work with anything you throw at it? You have to have diamonds to bring someone back to life. I'm not sure why... I just know that diamonds are used in a lot of magic that deals with divination or protection. Lots of life energy. Bright and good for seeing things.
Why would I cut fruit with my 🗡️??? It would get so dirty doing that. And sticky. It would definitely need to be cleaned often if I did that--which I'm not! ...Going to do that, I mean. I'm going to clean it! Every day if I have to! And I'll make a stand for it, so it can be comfortable when I'm not holding it. ...Can I keep it in my hammock when I sleep? Will that make a better 👻? What if the 🗡️ appropriate gifts are just that I love it a lot? I don't know what 🗡️ appropriate gifts actually are... I don't know why 👻🤔😵🙀🙃! It should be 👿🤔😵! For the 🗡️ gifts!
👻 questions and 👻 maybes are this ancestor's legacy as well as good for your ✨, but a 👻 can say things for certain as well, because 👻s are so talented. There are definitely bad pots, and your ☁️-shifu would certainly say you should have a good one, and he would be right as expected. It's not silly to want things, is another certain thing. That just happens. Those things you said can make a good pot, but they aren't the only things.
Mine does, because of all the talent, as I just said. But no, components are usually pretty specific, it's just that diamonds aren't generally one? For that, I would expect blood, though I suppose it's not that different from using precious substances like cinnabar, now I think about it that way. Mostly it was the money that was giving me problems, though.
👻🤔😵🙀🙃 just because! It's very funny for me to be saying these things with such a thick face considering I am guilty of breaking most of these rules as well as many others. But I got better, so you still have to listen to me. And don't think of it like you are going to make problems, you aren't. That's not what the solutions are for.
👻s are very talented. 😈🌼s can learn a lot from them. What other things can make a good pot? Other than the things I already said? And if it's not the original one, then is it still just as good? Not the kind of good where it's good but it could have been better?
Blood?? No wonder people make faces about reviving the dead, if you're using that... Even if you weren't reviving the dead, I think they would still make faces. The money is just to pay for the service, though. That's pretty standard, isn't it? Do you go to the doctor and not pay to be treated? I guess if the doctor was very nice, but I think that sounds unlikely.
...Are you sure you got better? You let me use your sword to draw in the sand the first day I met you. I could have run off with it! Not that I would have, but you barely even checked! Maybe I should give 👻🗡️ a 🗡️ gift too...
Making the pot yourself isn't so bad, for one thing. People don't get any say in their original pot, so sometimes that causes problems. But what if other people made the pot and it wasn't because they were expected to? Wouldn't that also be good? What if someone wanted to, and what if they were good at it specifically because they have knowledge that didn't even exist for the original pot? Doesn't that at least have the potential to be better? 👻❓. 🌼🥣. 😈📘.
I didn't use blood all the time, and sometimes it wasn't even real blood, and anyway what's wrong with blood? Are people too good to use free blood now? Blood is too cheap compared to gemstones? Unbelievable. And can't doctors be nice where you're from? I can truthfully say I've never paid a doctor in my life.
I let you borrow Suibian for sand cultivation, which in that case was just like drawing an array. It sounds like you think the sand is the unorthodox part and not the borrowing, but I think both are fine, unless the 🗡️ is especially cranky. Besides, I knew if you ran off with it I could catch you (🤏) unless you ran up the wall like a 🦎, which would have been worth seeing. 🚫🎁🤷🗡️ necessary.
...I don't know. Can a 😈 say that again? Even if she's said that a lot? Maybe a 😈🌼 doesn't know pots at all. She can have a 🥣, she would probably think it's a pot anyway.
Making a pot when you're not expected to sounds... good. I think. Too good, maybe. Would someone make a pot for a 🌼 that wasn't theirs? Especially if the 🌼 is maybe one that isn't liked so much. It sounds like a lot of work, and for what? To have a 🌼 to look at? It doesn't sound like a good trade.
I guess it depends on what kind of blood you mean? Animal blood? Probably fine, but a little weird. Dragon blood? Super powerful, good for magic. People blood? Bad. Get out of town, don't come back. Maybe your blood is just weird and fine. Maybe your doctors are too. Do they have other jobs and don't need money to buy food and whatnot?
🚫🚫🎁🤷🗡️! Why the 🎁🤷?? They would be 🎁👍 or 🎁✨, you can't doubt me like this... 👿🥺 And the sand isn't unorthodox, it's just dirty. I hope you cleaned Suibian afterwards! If you didn't, maybe I'll run away with it for real. I'll crawl into something 🤏 where you can't get me, which is also like a 🦎! Then I can have two 🗡️ and they can be friends.
A 🥣 is the same as a pot! So she should! Unless she doesn't think it's suitable and so disagrees. It could happen. Maybe everyone should be a little more openminded and reasonable about containers.
And maybe at the same time people should be a little more restrained with their analogies, because I think I've lost track. Wouldn't someone make a pot? Wouldn't that mean they do like the 🌼 actually? Maybe it's not that much work, or a trade. Maybe it's a noble 🌼! Did anyone consider it?
Get out of town??? So rude. It's free! Everyone is jealous of the blessing of clean living. As to doctors, it depends. Sometimes it's their cultivation, sometimes it's just their responsibility within the sect, sometimes it's probably like how people will pay cultivators with food. I don't have that much experience with civilian doctors, I guess, but I bet the good ones accept payment in food.
Not 🎁🤷, 🤷🗡️. I'm sure the 🎁 would be very 👍 and ✨, 🚫👿🥺. If I pretend I remember cleaning Suibian just because of a little sand, will that convince you not to steal it and hide like a 🦎? If you want two spiritual weapons at least pick something that isn't 🗡️! Doesn't even have to be an instrument.
Maybe it was a bad analogy too. Maybe 👿s don't know about containers or analogies. 🚫🥣🚫💭🚫👿!!! I just don't know how to feel about it. What does someone get out of that? Making a place and a home for someone that isn't theirs, especially when most people wouldn't. Wouldn't it have to be a trade? Otherwise, why wouldn't anyone else have done it? Where does the difference come in? Does the 👿 have to be a noble 🌼 then? Is that what does it? I can be a noble 🌼, but maybe a 🥣 isn't so good if that's the only reason for it.
Maybe a 👿 just has too many 💭 and she should put some of them away (🚫🥣💭!) before she chases a 👻 into the 🌳🌳🌳.
I don't make the blood rules! I think if I did, there just wouldn't be any. I think if I was going to do some kind of illicit summoning ritual, I would use something much cooler than blood. Like etching the runes into stone with black pudding slime or something. Original! Complex! Mysterious! Unless demons only get summoned with blood because they don't like other flavors. Very picky demons, if so. Maybe they need more vegetables too. Maybe they can be bribed with food, like cultivators and doctors.
What is 🤷🗡️? Why is 🤷🗡️?? That's even worse then 🤷🎁! 👿🥺! ...Maybe I can be convinced not to steal it and hide like a 🦎, but I will not be convinced that it doesn't need 🎁. I don't need two spiritual weapons, but what if I want two? Everyone else has an instrument. Are they all special? Like 🗡️? If not an instrument or a 🗡️, then what else is there? What are my options if I want a friend for my 🗡️? (If your 🗡️ and my 🗡️ can't be friends, which I think they should be because we are. Maybe yours can tell mine 🗡️ secrets, and it'll be a good 🗡️ one day.)
Maybe it wasn't a bad analogy, and ghosts just aren't that clever actually. For example, I don't know why some people would make a pot and some wouldn't. Does it mean anything if the difference is just that some people want to? I still don't think it's a trade. Maybe that's just how some people make their homes. And I don't think 👿 has to be a noble 🌼, but just happens to be anyway. 🚫👻🌳🌳🌳, 🥣😈💭👍
Flavors??? Black pudding slime??? I think demons should be bribed with pudding. Also it isn't a bribe if it's your job, which presumably getting summoned is, in this case.
🤷🗡️! Is your senior not correct? And is your senior not lucky? Not every 🗡️ gets its own little picture. 👻🤭 For all other 😈❓ the answers are mostly yes. You can have two, the instruments are all spiritual tools normally, there are many things that are neither 🗡️ nor instrument so I suppose you would pick one of those, and I think your 🗡️ should have as many friends as it wants. Was that everything? 📜🌟?
Ghosts are very clever, you take that back. Especially 👻-shifus who think that 😈 are noble 🌼 anyway, and even when 😈🌼 don't understand what they're saying but are trying very hard to. It still feels like there needs to be a reason, more than just wanting to... Or maybe the wanting to implies that there's a reason? People don't want things for no reason at all. So if there was a 😈🌼🥣, then I would want to know why it was made. So no one regrets making a 🌼🥣 for a 😈🌼... Isn't that normal? To not want other people to regret making you something? And wouldn't it be ungrateful if you didn't do anything at all for someone if they made a 🌼🥣? So doesn't that sort of make it like a trade?
The black pudding is not real pudding--not the kind you eat. The slime part is important! It's right there in the name. They just sort of look like pudding, I guess? I've never seen one because they're very dangerous. They're so corrosive that they can dissolve basically anything... Meat, bones, wood, metal, etc. Probably stone too, if they sat in one place long enough. ☠️🍮! So probably not bribe material for demons... and I don't think getting summoned is a job, either... but maybe it is! 👻-shifus probably know more about that than 😈.
I think... my shifu is very mean to his 🗡️. 🚫🤷♀️! It should have a better picture. 👿🥺 And I don't know what spiritual tools are. Are they just any tools? Can my lockpicks be spiritual tools? ...They probably shouldn't be. ☁️-shifu will make a face about that, I think. I have too many tools, though; I don't know which ones should be spiritual! Maybe I just want an instrument like 👻 and ☁️ and 🤏☁️... But I don't know which one of those, either. There's too many instruments and too many tools and too many choices. Help. 👿🥺👿🥺👿🥺
Well how clever can even a 👻-shifu be if the 😈🌼 still has so many ❓'s? There probably are reasons, on a 🌼 by 🌼 basis, but a 👻 won't say what they are, because that's not what 👻s do, and so you don't fixate on being a specific type of 🌼. Anyway you can't worry about this 👻 having any regrets. Also not what 👻s do. Or this one, at least, since that actually is what true 👻s do a lot of the time. As to how gratitude is meant to work, I don't think anyone actually knows. Gratitude is important, but I think it can exist without there being a trade. It just isn't one, because everyone is doing what they want.
☠️🍮.......⚰️🍮❓ 🍮✨? ...🍮👻...🚫👻🤔 Getting summoned is definitely a job though I bet.
What better picture could there even be? The little picture says whatever, 🤷♀️🗡️. I don't see why lockpicks couldn't be a spiritual tool, but you are right about the ☁️ face probably. Unless you were to vow to only pick locks that have distressed people behind them or something. Besides, you could probably just use a different tool for that if it came up, and avoid the ☁️ face entirely. Spiritual tools are often heirlooms of a family or sect, not just everyone has one. An instrument is a sensible choice if you practice musical cultivation, but I would draw the line at a third qin player in this house. Maybe something to do with the 🕯️✨...
A 😈🌼 just has too many 💭! I said that already. It doesn't mean that a 👻 isn't clever, just that he's outnumbered. He shouldn't have to fight so many 😈🌼💭 that aren't even deterred by ⚔️ or 🎶✨. ...Anyway, I wasn't worried about a 👻 having regrets. I already said it wasn't about a 👻, too! Just in general. No specific 🥣s or 🌼s. No specific regrets, even if it doesn't seem possible for a 👻-shifu not to have any at all. But maybe that's a secret 👻✨ that a 😈 can learn one day. 👻📘.
🚫🍮👻! Why are you like this? 🚫🚫👻🤔! It's just slime, why are there so many pictures over slime? Do you not have weird stuff like that? Maybe your ✨ is normal and never breaks or makes weird things. There's plenty of other weird things I could tell you about. That can be my job. If getting summoned is a job, then talking about weird creatures should be a job, too.
🚫🤷♀️🗡️! Sp many pictures for a slime and only whatever for a 🗡️! Why is that the best picture? Do you not like your 🗡️? No wonder you let me draw with it... I'm making 🎁 for it as we speak.
🚫🕯️✨ too! 🤏☁️ doesn't have 🕯️✨, so I don't think that's right. I bet ☁️-shifu would teach me how to play a qin, 🕯️✨ or not... but I don't know that I'd be good at it. It looks hard. Maybe I should learn how to play a flute, so 👻-shifu isn't so outnumbered... But then I would need a ✨ flute, and I don't know where to get those. I don't have any heirlooms like that... Do you make them like ✨🗡️? Carry them around and wait for them to get a 👻 in them? Where did a 👻 and a ☁️ get theirs?
Did you say that? A 👻 must have forgotten! It seems like they have to be a little specific though? The 😈🌼💭? But it's a shame they don't respond to 🎶✨. Are you sure? Have you checked with ☁️? It seems like that should be a ☁️⛰️ specialty, like the rooms. Maybe instead of a 🥣 we should be making a 🚫💭 room. No, that sounds terrible, like a punishment, so maybe a 🚫💭⛲. 🚫💭🌳? Whatever it is, I can't go in it yet. ⬆️⬆️⬆️👻💭
🤏🍮👻 🥄🤤! Why are YOU like this! You can't say ☠️🍮 and expect 🚫👻🤔! I do like to hear about weird creatures though, that's a good job for Klaudia-laoshi to have. But we have plenty of weird creatures of our own, too. ✨ makes some, some ✨ on their own, many times it's 👻s, we've been over that. No 🍮 though. Why is it 🍮 slime?
It's the best picture because that's the name. And didn't I already say I let you draw with it to be helpful? So mean to 👻s.
I meant 🕯️✨ for inspiration! I'm not feeling left out anymore. Anyway either method is fine. I made mine, and I'm sure your ☁️-shifu has the second best heirloom qin in ☁️⛰️ probably. If it were up to me it would be first, because it hasn't tried to kill me. But you shouldn't fixate on these instruments, especially not so I won't feel left out, because I don't.
...Maybe the 🌼 is specific since they are 😈🌼💭, but that's all. ...I haven't checked with ☁️. I wasn't even meaning to check with a 👻. The 😈🌼💭 are very rowdy, I don't think a room would help. Maybe 🚫💭🍲... or 🚫💭🍶. But only if the 🚫💭 means you go in with ⬆️⬆️⬆️💭 and come out with 🚫💭. Otherwise, what's the point if you already have 🚫💭? I wouldn't be able to go in either. 🚫👿🚫👻.
If I can't eat 👻 then you can't either! 🚫🤤🥄! Not even 🍮 ones! And I think you just have too many 👻 in your world. Your 👻⚔️✨ aren't doing a very good job if 👻 are making most of your creatures... 👿😕 The 🍮 is slime because that's it's name! Black puddings. There's a bunch of different slimes, but those are the scariest because they eat anything. There's also grey oozes that can fit through any opening, even the tiniest of cracks. Or ochre jellies that multiply when you try to kill them. Or gelatinous cubes that don't have color to them at all, so they're extremely hard to see. Some adventurers don't know those are there until they run into them and the acid starts burning... ☠️☠️☠️ By then, it's usually too late.
🤷♀️🗡️??? That's the name? I thought it's name was Suibian? Is that what Suibian means? Like Wei is 👻? Suibian is 🤷♀️🗡️? Shrug? Shrug Sword? Unsure Blade? Maybebrand? 👿😭
If there is a qin that tried to kill you, then it can't possibly be the best because it's very mean. Banned from the rankings. I don't know how it could even do that?? Qin can't hold knives. Is it the 🎶? Is the 🎶 sharp? 🔪🔪🔪 And maybe it's not a 👻 that's feeling left out; maybe it's a 👿. 🚫🎶. It looks fun, and you're all very good at it, like 🗡️. And you can all play together if you wanted to. So maybe I want to be able to play something too.
Maybe checking with ☁️ would help anyway. Maybe there's a song for this and not a room or a 🥣. And ☁️ also would not have any kind of regrets, because that's even less what he does than what real 👻s do. There's definitely a song for ⬆️⬆️⬆️💭, anyway. ✔️😈✔️👻
I understand now how you felt about all the kinds of 👻. That is simply too many kinds of slime, why is there so much slime??? Yet I still want 🍮...
🚫👿😭! It's just whatever. More so than Wei is 👻. So 🤷♀️🗡️! Good, right?
It's not banned from the rankings, it was a very nice qin that I was not allowed to touch even after your ☁️-shifu stopped it from being so 🔪. Just a misunderstanding that was fine in the end, and even a little funny. And if you want to play something, for ✨ or not, by all means! We can find you an instrument and you'll know if it's really as fun as it looks. Maybe something that doesn't have to be an instrument all the time, even. In keeping with your ⌛✨.
I can ask ☁️... or maybe just ask for the 🚫💭🎶. 😈🌼💭 are a lot to explain. Maybe ☁️-shifu would think I'm being silly. Is there a 🚫💭🎶 that's just for silly 😈🌼💭? I need that one. Maybe I could just lay on the couch in the living room and wait for the 🎶, like a ambush for 😈🌼💭.
I don't know why there's so much slime, there just is... But I also want 🍮 now. Can we make a lot of kinds of 🍮 instead? One for every kind of slime! 🍮 feast!
...If I say it's not good, is that bullying? I'm not bullying a 👻-shifu! I just feel bad for the 🗡️! 👿🥺 Does it like its name? Can you ask it? I'll agree that 🤷♀️🗡️ is good only if it says it likes it. That's fair, isn't it?
That sounds complicated... Making an instrument with ⌛✨. Don't those have to be really exact? I mean, I could make something that kind of looks like a flute, but I don't know if it would actually work. I'd have to be really exact, I think, or it would sound really bad and I'd have to sleep outside in the workshop with the 👻s. I would say that I would go live in the 🌳🌳🌳, but it's starting to get cold again, and I would be a 👿🍧🧊... So the workshop would have to do. 👻👻👿👻👻 (Me with all the ghosts!)

Flavors??? Black pudding slime??? I think demons should be bribed with pudding. Also it isn't a bribe if it's your job, which presumably getting summoned is, in this case.
🤷🗡️! Is your senior not correct? And is your senior not lucky? Not every 🗡️ gets its own little picture. 👻🤭 For all other 😈❓ the answers are mostly yes. You can have two, the instruments are all spiritual tools normally, there are many things that are neither 🗡️ nor instrument so I suppose you would pick one of those, and I think your 🗡️ should have as many friends as it wants. Was that everything? 📜🌟?

The black pudding is not real pudding--not the kind you eat. The slime part is important! It's right there in the name. They just sort of look like pudding, I guess? I've never seen one because they're very dangerous. They're so corrosive that they can dissolve basically anything... Meat, bones, wood, metal, etc. Probably stone too, if they sat in one place long enough. ☠️🍮! So probably not bribe material for demons... and I don't think getting summoned is a job, either... but maybe it is! 👻-shifus probably know more about that than 😈.
I think... my shifu is very mean to his 🗡️. 🚫🤷♀️! It should have a better picture. 👿🥺 And I don't know what spiritual tools are. Are they just any tools? Can my lockpicks be spiritual tools? ...They probably shouldn't be. ☁️-shifu will make a face about that, I think. I have too many tools, though; I don't know which ones should be spiritual! Maybe I just want an instrument like 👻 and ☁️ and 🤏☁️... But I don't know which one of those, either. There's too many instruments and too many tools and too many choices. Help. 👿🥺👿🥺👿🥺

☠️🍮.......⚰️🍮❓ 🍮✨? ...🍮👻...🚫👻🤔 Getting summoned is definitely a job though I bet.
What better picture could there even be? The little picture says whatever, 🤷♀️🗡️. I don't see why lockpicks couldn't be a spiritual tool, but you are right about the ☁️ face probably. Unless you were to vow to only pick locks that have distressed people behind them or something. Besides, you could probably just use a different tool for that if it came up, and avoid the ☁️ face entirely. Spiritual tools are often heirlooms of a family or sect, not just everyone has one. An instrument is a sensible choice if you practice musical cultivation, but I would draw the line at a third qin player in this house. Maybe something to do with the 🕯️✨...

🚫🍮👻! Why are you like this? 🚫🚫👻🤔! It's just slime, why are there so many pictures over slime? Do you not have weird stuff like that? Maybe your ✨ is normal and never breaks or makes weird things. There's plenty of other weird things I could tell you about. That can be my job. If getting summoned is a job, then talking about weird creatures should be a job, too.
🚫🤷♀️🗡️! Sp many pictures for a slime and only whatever for a 🗡️! Why is that the best picture? Do you not like your 🗡️? No wonder you let me draw with it... I'm making 🎁 for it as we speak.
🚫🕯️✨ too! 🤏☁️ doesn't have 🕯️✨, so I don't think that's right. I bet ☁️-shifu would teach me how to play a qin, 🕯️✨ or not... but I don't know that I'd be good at it. It looks hard. Maybe I should learn how to play a flute, so 👻-shifu isn't so outnumbered... But then I would need a ✨ flute, and I don't know where to get those. I don't have any heirlooms like that... Do you make them like ✨🗡️? Carry them around and wait for them to get a 👻 in them? Where did a 👻 and a ☁️ get theirs?

🤏🍮👻 🥄🤤! Why are YOU like this! You can't say ☠️🍮 and expect 🚫👻🤔! I do like to hear about weird creatures though, that's a good job for Klaudia-laoshi to have. But we have plenty of weird creatures of our own, too. ✨ makes some, some ✨ on their own, many times it's 👻s, we've been over that. No 🍮 though. Why is it 🍮 slime?
It's the best picture because that's the name. And didn't I already say I let you draw with it to be helpful? So mean to 👻s.
I meant 🕯️✨ for inspiration! I'm not feeling left out anymore. Anyway either method is fine. I made mine, and I'm sure your ☁️-shifu has the second best heirloom qin in ☁️⛰️ probably. If it were up to me it would be first, because it hasn't tried to kill me. But you shouldn't fixate on these instruments, especially not so I won't feel left out, because I don't.

If I can't eat 👻 then you can't either! 🚫🤤🥄! Not even 🍮 ones! And I think you just have too many 👻 in your world. Your 👻⚔️✨ aren't doing a very good job if 👻 are making most of your creatures... 👿😕 The 🍮 is slime because that's it's name! Black puddings. There's a bunch of different slimes, but those are the scariest because they eat anything. There's also grey oozes that can fit through any opening, even the tiniest of cracks. Or ochre jellies that multiply when you try to kill them. Or gelatinous cubes that don't have color to them at all, so they're extremely hard to see. Some adventurers don't know those are there until they run into them and the acid starts burning... ☠️☠️☠️ By then, it's usually too late.
🤷♀️🗡️??? That's the name? I thought it's name was Suibian? Is that what Suibian means? Like Wei is 👻? Suibian is 🤷♀️🗡️? Shrug? Shrug Sword? Unsure Blade? Maybebrand? 👿😭
If there is a qin that tried to kill you, then it can't possibly be the best because it's very mean. Banned from the rankings. I don't know how it could even do that?? Qin can't hold knives. Is it the 🎶? Is the 🎶 sharp? 🔪🔪🔪 And maybe it's not a 👻 that's feeling left out; maybe it's a 👿. 🚫🎶. It looks fun, and you're all very good at it, like 🗡️. And you can all play together if you wanted to. So maybe I want to be able to play something too.

I understand now how you felt about all the kinds of 👻. That is simply too many kinds of slime, why is there so much slime??? Yet I still want 🍮...
🚫👿😭! It's just whatever. More so than Wei is 👻. So 🤷♀️🗡️! Good, right?
It's not banned from the rankings, it was a very nice qin that I was not allowed to touch even after your ☁️-shifu stopped it from being so 🔪. Just a misunderstanding that was fine in the end, and even a little funny. And if you want to play something, for ✨ or not, by all means! We can find you an instrument and you'll know if it's really as fun as it looks. Maybe something that doesn't have to be an instrument all the time, even. In keeping with your ⌛✨.
no subject
I don't know why there's so much slime, there just is... But I also want 🍮 now. Can we make a lot of kinds of 🍮 instead? One for every kind of slime! 🍮 feast!
...If I say it's not good, is that bullying? I'm not bullying a 👻-shifu! I just feel bad for the 🗡️! 👿🥺 Does it like its name? Can you ask it? I'll agree that 🤷♀️🗡️ is good only if it says it likes it. That's fair, isn't it?
That sounds complicated... Making an instrument with ⌛✨. Don't those have to be really exact? I mean, I could make something that kind of looks like a flute, but I don't know if it would actually work. I'd have to be really exact, I think, or it would sound really bad and I'd have to sleep outside in the workshop with the 👻s. I would say that I would go live in the 🌳🌳🌳, but it's starting to get cold again, and I would be a 👿🍧🧊... So the workshop would have to do. 👻👻👿👻👻 (Me with all the ghosts!)
