CATFISH: WEI WUXIAN

[fullthottle]

CATFISH On Monday afternoon, Wei Wuxian's clamshell will ping! from wherever he has it. Should he pick it up to see what all the fuss is about, he will realize that his RULEBOOK app has updated to version 2.0. Opening the app will reveal that there has been an addendum to the rules... but one that seems meant exclusively for him. No other survivor will be able to see these additions. They read as such: 1. Each week, you will be given A TASK by your guides. 2. The specifics of this task will VARY FROM WEEK TO WEEK, and there's no guarantee that any two tasks will be the same. 3. You MUST COMPLETE THIS TASK BEFORE THE DAY OF THE TRIAL, regardless of what it entails. 4. You may PRIVATELY CONFIRM YOUR ROLE if asked, but you may not OFFER THE INFORMATION FREELY to others. A notification will arrive the moment he has finished reading through the update. Its contents are no less confusing. GOOD 🌞 MORNING, CATFISH! 🐟 💋 YOU'RE ON THE 🎣 HOOK TO SEA 🌊 🏖️ AND BE SEEN! 👀 👀 👀 BUT DON'T WORRY 😉😚 YOU WON'T BE A 🐠 FISH OUT OF WATER FOR 2️⃣ LONG 💦💧💧 TAKE A 🔥HOT🔥 PIC 📷 WITH YOUR BEST POUT 💋💋 BC WE'LL SEE U REEL 🎣 SOON ♥️👀♥️ Other things that are weird? The fact that the moment he opens a door and walk through it, he will find himself falling face first an entirely new location. Particularly, one that doesn't seem to fit into any part of the hotel, and absolutely not one that they meant to go through. As he regains his bearings and looks at his surroundings, he'll realize that the door he walked through is no longer there. It seems like he has only one choice, and that's to walk forward until he reaches his destination. It is there that he will find a familiar face...

[After greeting the vending machine goblin he's RAISING A HAND CHEERFULLY HELLO. This was not the Monday afternoon he was expecting, but it's the Monday afternoon he... got.]

Mm, will do! [A little nod! And then a little laugh, too.] Looks like I'm not fortunate enough to dodge the extra trouble in the end, hm? Well! What's the first task, then? And to what end are these things being accomplished?

[He's been told some people have potentially Detrimental To The Group roles and he's like. 5% concerned.]

[doublesmall]

As far as 'to what end'... you're more or less a right hand for us. There are things we can't really step in and do, so we've got you to do it instead. We'll give you objectives, and you'll get something for your trouble if you're successful.

[He hums thoughtfully, there.]

This week, we need you to get out there and get people to share information around more than they have been. Get five of them to tell someone something they've learned here that the other person doesn't know-- and if they both share with each other, that's going to count twice.

You're a social enough guy-- I don't think you're going to have problems.

[givethemhell]

Ah, I see! [CLAPPING HIS HANDS TOGETHER.] Good, I'm relieved. That's a job I don't mind at all!

[As long as he can HELP!! FINALLY. Though he'll nod at that. Get five people to share something with someone else, huh... He does fuckin buzz with social energy, so that seems a fair enough start to him. Giving a little mock-salute!]

Mm, you've got it! Before Saturday, was it? —Haha, though - out of curiosity, would I count as someone to share information with for one of them? I do have a question I'd like to ask someone. Might as well make it count if I'm going to be direct!

[doublesmall]

[...hm. He's got to think about that.]

Seeing as you're supposed to be getting them to share things around... most likely not. It might count for one if you learn something and then you pass it along to someone, but don't bank on it-- focus on getting them to tell others too, if they tell you anything.

[givethemhell]

Fair enough! Alright, then. [A little nod! He's still gonna ask that damn question though.]

--And I suppose I should ask, just given the nature of this place - on the off chance I fail any one of these tasks, should I expect to die on the spot or something like that? Not that I intend to fail, barring something else killing me first, of course!

[Wei Wuxian: continues to casually talk about his impending potential death to literally anyone.]

[doublesmall]

Can you stop being so casual about that?

[GOD. he hates it!]

But no, you shouldn't die if you fail this one. You won't get a reward for it, though.

[what a reassuring answer.]

[givethemhell]

Right, right - still getting used to that, haha!

[To... to people caring about his flippant dismissal of his own demise (past present or future tense). What a wild world he lives in now!]

But alright, good to know. [Though he does notice that fuckin "this one", god.] Mm! Well, then - I can just come ask one of you if I have any other questions and that's that?

[HE ACCEPTS EVERYTHING TOO EASILY.]

[doublesmall]

That's pretty much it, yeah. I didn't think you'd have any issues-- good to know I was right.

[He goes with things way too easily, but right now that sure is convenient for them!]

[givethemhell]

Well! Could be much worse, right?

[Ah, the optimism(???) of someone who's already hit rock bottom once... Anyway!! He's not Higekiri so Chuuya doesn't get any goodbye smooches, but he does get a cheery little wave.]

I'll go get to work, then - rather not leave things up to chance and wait too long. Haha, I still have a few other errands to run for Higekiri, anyway.

[Since that boy can't collect handwriting samples for shit GOD.]

Let's meet up and have a drink later!
