You don't know how they get the colors in? I thought if anyone would, it would be the sand cultivator 😞 Who is also being very mean about the painting! I think it's very good, probably. If that's what it is. Not as good as mine, obviously.
All of my cooking I've learned from you and ☁️! Where would I learn how to put 🌈 into 🍪?? Are you saying that you don't know either? Maybe a 👻 isn't very good at cooking after all... 😈😔
Well don't think of it like cooking, think of it like your alchemy where you know how things are made. Clearly it isn't normal, there are 👻s. That's not because I'm a bad cook! You wouldn't say this to Hanguang-jun.
☁️ doesn't expect me to know how to put pictures in food! ...Though he did think that I made a fancy 🎂 once, just because I showed him a picture. But that's different.
Anyway! I don't just know how things are made. I take them apart, and then I know how to put them together. Like a puzzle. Have you tried putting 🌈 in the 👻s and putting those into the 🍪? I would eat a 👻🍪... Maybe. 😈🤔...
👿🥺! Fine, I guess I won't. But only because you won't make me a 👻🍪. I still think the 👻s should get to have 🌈 if they want to, though! Maybe it would make them happier. Has anyone ever tried that for 👻 appeasement?
Eating a 🍪 doesn't count as taking it apart. Otherwise, I'd know how to make so many things that I don't know how to make, and I wouldn't have needed to learn cooking from a 👻 and ☁️ at all. But if you want me to eat more kinds of things, then I already made a suggestion! (👻🍪!) It still won't mean that I'm capable of knowing things because I eat them, though. I'm not that mysterious... I think. (I might be capable of eating 👻s. I don't actually know.)
I don't think anyone has tried 🌈 on 👻, which is probably an oversight that will have to go unaddressed, unless a lot of bland 👻 turn up and you want to help.
What do you mean you don't know??? This causes concern to your shifu. My hair is going to fall out.
Hmm. What if I want to 👀🌈👻? Should I collect them and bring them to you? There's still a few 👻🫙 left...
What does I don't know mean other than I don't know??? Maybe I can eat ghosts. I wouldn't actually! I was just joking about that part. I'm pretty sure I would still get really cursed for eating a 👻. But maybe I could. I don't know all the things that 😈s can do! No one's ever told me. We're all a little magical, but other than the specific things that I've figured out, I don't know more than that.
Only 👻 who want that! Unless they aren't any good.
I didn't know this was actually a mystery when I said it. It seems like it shouldn't be, but what do ghosts know. Apparently just as much as anyone else, and that can't be right. Doesn't anyone know?? A LITTLE magical???
I'm sure someone has to know! ...Just not anyone that I've met. Or maybe I have met them, but it's embarrassing to ask, isn't it? It feels like something I should already know, but the only things I know are what I've read about. And people don't write a lot of useful things about tieflings.
Is it weird to be a little magical?? You can fly around on somewhat sentient swords apparently, so a 👻 shifu shouldn't be using that many question marks! The magical part is normal, I think? It doesn't work here, though. I think this place siphons that away too. But for instance... In my world, I could see at night almost as well as I could during the day. A little greyer, but still good enough to work or read by. It took me a while to figure out why people needed candles at all.
Is it embarrassing to ask? Maybe a little. I used to ask questions to anyone who had known my mother, so maybe I'm very embarrassing. But who am I to lecture the questions cultivator about asking questions, ignore this ghost. I don't think it's a matter of 'should' is what I mean. Unless people are writing un-useful things about tieflings, then they should not.
It's not weird! But it's different, I wasn't born with the ability to fly a sword. Or see in the dark, unfortunately. And it IS weird for that to be siphoned away, I think. Have mercy on this struggling ghost, and I will retract the question marks. It's just hard to think about, what if my charming nature was deemed magical and siphoned away? You can see how upsetting this is as a concept.
No ghost ignoring here! ...What kind of questions did you ask? And what kind of answers did you get? I'm not sure it's the same, but I'd like to know anyway. Did you feel embarrassed about it when you asked? It's hard to imagine a ghost feeling embarrassed about anything.
A struggling ghost can have mercy! But I am collecting the errant question marks for later. ❓❓❓➡️💼😈
Maybe your charming nature is magical anyway. How do you know it's not? You have an awful lot of it! Maybe mine is too, but we're both too powerful to have it all siphoned away. I don't think this place would be able to handle it; that would be too dangerous. It'd be better to less us keep it. 💖
You're right, I barely know what embarrassing is and never have, so there's no need to imagine it. But I guess mostly I just felt so much like I needed to know, at any cost. Because it's the only way I could, so I had to take any opportunity. I'm not sure it's the same either but I think the sand cultivator will understand, or at least I hope so. Unfortunately I didn't get many good answers either, but I'm not sure that was possible.
I don't think you're going to wait until later at all, so here's some extra. 👻➡️❓❓❓❓❓❓➡️😈
That makes too much sense not to be right🤝. But it should have let you keep everything! Letting us have our specialties is alright, I suppose. And, of course, the charming nature. It just seems very unfair suddenly, though I guess I REALLY shouldn't complain except on your behalf.
...I do understand! I do. I'm sorry you didn't get any good answers. I wish you could get them. It's...different from not knowing things about yourself. Like, if you didn't know what humans were capable of or how long they lived or what sorts of things were good or bad for them... Maybe vegetables really aren't good for me! Do other tieflings think they taste bad too? I wouldn't know. I only know human things. But not knowing people that you're supposed to know... That feels weird too. Maybe it's the not knowing that's the embarrassing part, more than the asking?
...Can I ask a ghost what happened? Where did she go? If a ghost wants to say. I can take those ❓s back if not. Put them back in the 😈💼.
Not having my abilities has always been unfair! But it only bothers me when I think about it now. Or when it gets really hot and I have to actually feel it. Or when I need to grab something off a high shelf, and I can't magically pick it up... And being out at night was scary at first too. I've never seen dark like that before except in rooms with no windows. But when I picked up light magic, that helped.
...Okay, maybe I still think about it a lot. I wish we could have both! I'm going to be just as disappointed if I can't do this kind of magic now. Do you miss yours too? Or is it similar enough to the magic you have here? 🎶👉👻?
This ghost appreciates the sand cultivator's understanding and attempts to understand in return. It's hard to imagine not knowing those kinds of things either, since I only really knew human people. Cultivators are still just people, even if they can live a long time and give a lot of consideration to what is or isn't good, and every sect's cultivation is different and sometimes secret, so no one knows everything that's possible. That's not the same, this is just 👻🤔. But I don't think the not knowing should be embarrassing either, even if it's hard not to be. And we may not know a lot about tieflings, but we know a lot about one tiefling in particular, which I can write down if you want. I will still support 😈🚫🥬 though just to be sure.
It's fine to ask, it's so far in the past, I just forget you don't know already. My parents died on a nighthunt when I was very young, so I don't remember almost anything about them. That's why I had to ask. My mother in particular was an accomplished cultivator, but a rogue one, so even asking didn't get me all that much.
It's not so dissimilar...to a point. The 👻s. The other kind too, honestly. But that still leaves all the other things, 🗡️ things, lightness skill, talismans that do whatever. I can see why you would miss alchemy a lot though. No more ⏳✨ 👻😥
I wish the not knowing wasn't so embarrassing! I wish I was just as not embarrassed as you think I should be. But I am... It's even worse around other tieflings. How am I supposed to ask them about things I should already know? Maybe they'll think there's something wrong with me. Maybe there is. I just don't want to think about it. Maybe a 👻 shifu can write a book about all the things he knows about exactly one tiefling, and I'll read that instead. They'll be things I already know, like ⏳✨ and ✅🍖🚫🥬, and I'll feel very smart to know everything already. Klaudia-laoshi can be an expert on 👻🤔s about 😈s at least.
...I wonder if there's a way you could ask about her here. I mean, this whole place is supposed to be outside of time, right? Have you ever been to 👀 the calamity? Cataclysm? I forget what they're calling it. But you can 👀 things in it. Places and things from different times and planes, like they're all frayed together. I tried to draw a couple in my notebook, but they move too much, and I'm not good at those kinds of pictures. But if we can see into it, maybe there's a better way to sort through it? ...I don't know. These are just 😈🤔 now!
No more ⏳✨ would be very upsetting, but I'm sure I could make ⏳✨ happen with my normal ✨. I mean, I'm pretty sure I could make all of the ✨ that happens here in my normal ✨! Even the 👻✨! Though I would only do the good kind... Helpful 👻✨. Mostly, I just miss...not having limitations. If I couldn't do something, it was because I wasn't skilled enough yet! Not because I wasn't allowed or it wasn't accessible. That's the part that's not fair. I want to do all the ✨.
Maybe once we fix the time disaster, we'll get our normal ✨ back. Then you'll have all your other things again too. And you can show me all your talismans and your lightness skill! And the 🗡️ things obviously. I have to learn those properly too.
Well there definitely isn't anything wrong with you and I would hope other tieflings would understand that without even needing to read my book. And you can be an expert on most of the book but I'd make sure there was some new material as well, for flavor. Because I have so much Klaudia knowledge and I know learning new things is important.
I don't know, that thing seems like it's too important to poke around in just for...even for very good reasons, which I'm not sure I have. And what if I saw something terrible instead? Maybe more embarrassing than having to ask questions. Good 😈🤔, though! There might be some more controlled way to 👀 here that doesn't involve any cataclysms or calamities or whatever, since there's everything else. Would actually be weirder if there weren't. But I think as a now very senior 👻 I don't feel the need to know so pressingly as I used to.
Wanting to do all the ✨ is just reasonable! But not everyone thinks so. Especially about 👻✨, even the most helpful kinds. Or maybe not THE most helpful kinds, I think maybe stopping 👻 attacks is the most helpful and that is certainly encouraged, but that's about it. But I have to say, ✨ that can do it all sounds just as far fetched as this extremely divided system did to start with. All the ✨s here? Even phone curses?
I could probably definitely show you at least some of it. But it's just very hard to predict when so much "normal ✨" is based in things that still might not be here. Might not work, for several reasons. So many things go into learning 🗡️✨ properly! And it's been so long since I had to think about it like this. But maybe it would work just fine, no way to know.
What new material? Are you saying you know things that I don't about 😈?? You have to tell me now! I don't want to wait for a book. You can't keep secrets like that! Forget the other tieflings, I want to know the Klaudia things. 👿🥺!
I think wanting to know about your mother is a good enough reason to do anything... Maybe I have things I want to sift through too, so it doesn't have to be just for 👻 reasons. Even if 👻 reasons would be more than enough! It's not like we're going to break it just by looking at it. But if a 👻 is worried, there might be something in the street market that comes around every month... Do you really not need to know as much anymore? Does feeling like that just go away after a while? It doesn't feel wrong to just stop wondering as much?
...When I said all of the ✨, I guess I wasn't thinking about phone curses! We don't have phones. Though there's definitely a lot of kinds of curses, and you don't have to be physically present for all of them. You can curse armor and weapons and plenty of other stuff... so if we *did* have phones, then we could probably curse those too. I guess there's some ✨ that maybe I wouldn't be able to do... Like divine ✨? Maybe. I think it's silly that there's ✨ that only gods can give you. Magic is magic, and maybe I'll get to prove that I can do that too. Theoretically.
I hope all of the "normal ✨" works! I want to learn how to fly on a 🗡️ now that I have one too... It would be really upsetting to have a 🗡️ and it doesn't fly. Think about how sad it would feel, when all the other 🗡️ can do it... 🗡️🥺! I don't want it to feel left out...
🚫👿🥺! Is it really so unbelievable? Clever 👻, knows things. Knew 😈 would make a good disciple, for one. Two, knew 🐦 was the top choice for a next life. There's just no telling how much 👻s know. 📘📘📘
What would you want to sift through to 👀? I can't say for sure if you would stop wanting to know over time, but probably not, because of how you are. It's different for a 👻. I'd still like to know some things, but it sort of feels like it's just all the past, now. A past life. It used to be very important to have an idea to live up to, but this senior is leaving that to the younger generation now.
You're right, that is silly. Though I guess gods are just like that in all the stories. But shouldn't there be more than one way to anything? Even immortality you can get from a divine power in one go or you can cultivate yourself. Isn't that 'begging others is the same as begging yourself'?
Somehow I don't think you need to worry about this. You and your 🗡️ would both be like babies. Do babies feel sad because they can't walk? This is going to give your shifu a headache so I'm choosing to believe they don't. 🚫🗡️🥺.
📘📘📘➡️💼😈! 😈 has been a very good disciple, it's true! So it's only fair that anything that a 👻-shifu knows, he should immediately tell to a 😈, who always listens to and remembers everything that he says, right? 😈👂👍!
...I guess I can tell you what I was 👀 for. It's another thing that's really embarrassing to not know, but since you told me about your mother... then I guess it's a little bit the same. I would want to 👀 my father. He's a 😈 like me, but I've never met him. I don't know if he's alive or not, or what he looks like... I only know his name, and he was really good at ✨ too. But if we can 👀 all times and places here, then maybe I could see where he went and what happened to him... if something did happen. Or maybe he's just fine, but someplace that I haven't found him. It would just be nice to know something, I think. Anything. ...Or maybe it doesn't matter anymore. I'm not sure! It's been harder to think about lately, I guess. But the opportunity is there, for both a 😈 and a 👻. So if it's there, shouldn't we take it while we can?
I haven't heard of "begging others is the same as begging yourself"? What is it? ☁️-shifu said I shouldn't beg others for things, but he didn't say anything about begging myself. I'm not even sure how someone would do that. Or does it mean, if I can ask someone else to do something, then I can also just do it myself? I would agree with that.
A 👻-shifu is being so mean to me and also my 🗡️! I would cover its ears if it had any! We're not babies; you're the baby. 👶-shifu. 😈🤭 Even if my 🗡️ isn't sad about not flying, I'll feel sad for it, knowing that it could be flying but isn't. Maybe I just want it to be the best 🗡️ ever. Isn't that only right?
It's exactly for those reasons that your 👻-shifu can't. You remember everything so well and learn so fast, what happens when I run out? No need for a 👻-shifu then. Better not to risk it. 📘📘📘➡️💼👻
Well it matters if you think it matters, and that's not embarrassing at all! Or it shouldn't be. That's a little different anyway, you want to know something very specific, and there's real questions to answer...Definitely worth 👀. Or I can see how it would be. It's fine to change how you feel, and a thing doesn't have to matter for you to be interested in knowing it. But still, we're the same in not knowing too many specifics, even if I don't have those same kinds of questions.
👍😈 👍😈 👍😈 That's exactly what it means. Though maybe that's as much encouragement to crack divine ✨ as I should be providing. 😶 🚫➡️🦵🐍
👶-shifu 🙂🙃🙂🙃🙂🙃 I'm not being mean! Flight takes awhile for even the most naturally talented cultivators to learn. But yes, with a sentiment like that you're already getting the hang of things and I'm sure your 👶🗡️ will be the best 🗡️ ever in time. Even if I have to put a 🗡️👻 in it.
Even if a 👻-shifu did run out of things to teach (which is clearly impossible!), he would still be a 👻-shifu. Isn't that how it works? No risks! Only 📘 for 😈!
I'm... not sure if finding him matters. That's the hard part. But it would still be nice to know, I think? Or maybe I just want to know because I was so set on knowing before... I don't know what I would do with that information anymore. It's just... a lot of very specific questions, yes, like you said. Maybe boring questions for a 👻 to hear. And maybe it's not the same at all. I don't know. If a 👻 doesn't want to 👀, then maybe a 😈 should leave it alone too.
👍😈! Those are better. A 😈 doesn't need encouragement to crack divine ✨ but it's nice to have! 🚫🦵! 😈✨ does not involve more 🦵 like 🐍✨, there's nothing to worry about there.
🚫👶🗡️! ...🚫👻! Why would you have to put a 👻 in my 🗡️?? Isn't that like possession? What if that upsets it? You say you're not being mean, but that does sound really mean! I have other things you can put 👻 into instead of my 🗡️...
See, you've even learned how it works already. I better start writing. 📘📘📘📘📘✨
Not boring questions! I still don't know about messing with the catastrophic cataclysm but having concrete questions instead of just vaguely wishing you had more memories would have to be helpful, even if we found some kind of tool for it at the market instead. You can't say you wouldn't want to 👀 just because of me though. And maybe you'd know what to do with the information once you had it, maybe it's not having it that causes some of the confusion. But I wouldn't want you to feel like you had to do anything with it. You know, if you decided you didn't want to. It's always so complicated, you know?
It's not 🦵 I'm worried about! It's a saying! You can have as many 🦵 as you like. What's so good about divine ✨ anyway? Who needs it? Besides paladins I think. 👻👂👍.
Well I mean if the regular 🗡️✨ doesn't work, then it might be time to try a 👻. A 🗡️👻 only! And only for 🗡️! Unless you write why it's for your cultivation. Normally you'd have to put the ghosts in on your own, if you wanted to forge a spiritual tool that way...or not normally, actually, definitely not. But theoretically, if that were the path you were taking. Like with the divine ✨, there has to be more than one way to anything.

Might not work, for several reasons. So many things go into learning 🗡️✨ properly! And it's been so long since I had to think about it like this. But maybe it would work just fine, no way to know.

Maybe I have things I want to sift through too, so it doesn't have to be just for 👻 reasons. Even if 👻 reasons would be more than enough! It's not like we're going to break it just by looking at it. But if a 👻 is worried, there might be something in the street market that comes around every month... Do you really not need to know as much anymore? Does feeling like that just go away after a while? It doesn't feel wrong to just stop wondering as much?
...When I said all of the ✨, I guess I wasn't thinking about phone curses! We don't have phones. Though there's definitely a lot of kinds of curses, and you don't have to be physically present for all of them. You can curse armor and weapons and plenty of other stuff... so if we *did* have phones, then we could probably curse those too. I guess there's some ✨ that maybe I wouldn't be able to do... Like divine ✨? Maybe. I think it's silly that there's ✨ that only gods can give you. Magic is magic, and maybe I'll get to prove that I can do that too. Theoretically.
I hope all of the "normal ✨" works! I want to learn how to fly on a 🗡️ now that I have one too... It would be really upsetting to have a 🗡️ and it doesn't fly. Think about how sad it would feel, when all the other 🗡️ can do it... 🗡️🥺! I don't want it to feel left out...

What would you want to sift through to 👀? I can't say for sure if you would stop wanting to know over time, but probably not, because of how you are. It's different for a 👻. I'd still like to know some things, but it sort of feels like it's just all the past, now. A past life. It used to be very important to have an idea to live up to, but this senior is leaving that to the younger generation now.
You're right, that is silly. Though I guess gods are just like that in all the stories. But shouldn't there be more than one way to anything? Even immortality you can get from a divine power in one go or you can cultivate yourself. Isn't that 'begging others is the same as begging yourself'?
Somehow I don't think you need to worry about this. You and your 🗡️ would both be like babies. Do babies feel sad because they can't walk? This is going to give your shifu a headache so I'm choosing to believe they don't. 🚫🗡️🥺.

It's another thing that's really embarrassing to not know, but since you told me about your mother... then I guess it's a little bit the same. I would want to 👀 my father. He's a 😈 like me, but I've never met him. I don't know if he's alive or not, or what he looks like... I only know his name, and he was really good at ✨ too. But if we can 👀 all times and places here, then maybe I could see where he went and what happened to him... if something did happen. Or maybe he's just fine, but someplace that I haven't found him. It would just be nice to know something, I think. Anything. ...Or maybe it doesn't matter anymore. I'm not sure! It's been harder to think about lately, I guess. But the opportunity is there, for both a 😈 and a 👻. So if it's there, shouldn't we take it while we can?
I haven't heard of "begging others is the same as begging yourself"? What is it? ☁️-shifu said I shouldn't beg others for things, but he didn't say anything about begging myself. I'm not even sure how someone would do that. Or does it mean, if I can ask someone else to do something, then I can also just do it myself? I would agree with that.
A 👻-shifu is being so mean to me and also my 🗡️! I would cover its ears if it had any! We're not babies; you're the baby. 👶-shifu. 😈🤭 Even if my 🗡️ isn't sad about not flying, I'll feel sad for it, knowing that it could be flying but isn't. Maybe I just want it to be the best 🗡️ ever. Isn't that only right?

That's a little different anyway, you want to know something very specific, and there's real questions to answer...Definitely worth 👀. Or I can see how it would be. It's fine to change how you feel, and a thing doesn't have to matter for you to be interested in knowing it. But still, we're the same in not knowing too many specifics, even if I don't have those same kinds of questions.
👍😈 👍😈 👍😈 That's exactly what it means. Though maybe that's as much encouragement to crack divine ✨ as I should be providing. 😶 🚫➡️🦵🐍
👶-shifu 🙂🙃🙂🙃🙂🙃 I'm not being mean! Flight takes awhile for even the most naturally talented cultivators to learn. But yes, with a sentiment like that you're already getting the hang of things and I'm sure your 👶🗡️ will be the best 🗡️ ever in time. Even if I have to put a 🗡️👻 in it.

Or maybe I just want to know because I was so set on knowing before... I don't know what I would do with that information anymore. It's just... a lot of very specific questions, yes, like you said. Maybe boring questions for a 👻 to hear. And maybe it's not the same at all. I don't know. If a 👻 doesn't want to 👀, then maybe a 😈 should leave it alone too.
👍😈! Those are better. A 😈 doesn't need encouragement to crack divine ✨ but it's nice to have! 🚫🦵! 😈✨ does not involve more 🦵 like 🐍✨, there's nothing to worry about there.
🚫👶🗡️! ...🚫👻! Why would you have to put a 👻 in my 🗡️?? Isn't that like possession? What if that upsets it? You say you're not being mean, but that does sound really mean! I have other things you can put 👻 into instead of my 🗡️...

Date: 2022-11-07 11:39 pm (UTC)From:Not boring questions! I still don't know about messing with the catastrophic cataclysm but having concrete questions instead of just vaguely wishing you had more memories would have to be helpful, even if we found some kind of tool for it at the market instead. You can't say you wouldn't want to 👀 just because of me though. And maybe you'd know what to do with the information once you had it, maybe it's not having it that causes some of the confusion. But I wouldn't want you to feel like you had to do anything with it. You know, if you decided you didn't want to. It's always so complicated, you know?
It's not 🦵 I'm worried about! It's a saying! You can have as many 🦵 as you like. What's so good about divine ✨ anyway? Who needs it? Besides paladins I think. 👻👂👍.
Well I mean if the regular 🗡️✨ doesn't work, then it might be time to try a 👻. A 🗡️👻 only! And only for 🗡️! Unless you write why it's for your cultivation. Normally you'd have to put the ghosts in on your own, if you wanted to forge a spiritual tool that way...or not normally, actually, definitely not. But theoretically, if that were the path you were taking. Like with the divine ✨, there has to be more than one way to anything.
