video | what this library needs is a book club

[weifinder]

( This is a video message brought to you by Wei Wuxian, who just learned about video in the last week or so, and definitely knows nothing about making a video well. So congratulations, he's holding his recording tablet in one hand, in selfie mode, and grinning at the camera. He tips his head toward it, since bowing... won't work with him holding his tablet, and begins. )

This whole moving images film-creating concept is fantastic! Wei Ying, courtesy name Wei Wuxian, greeting all the others swept into this library and out of their proper homes with a simple suggestion for the sake of entertainment: a reading group. I even have a starting novel for the adult audience!

( He looks offscreen to pick up a novel and showcase its simple bound red front with lovely golden writing visible: Resentment of Chunshan. This is porn. It is very raunchy, very fantasy-not-reality gay porn written by a woman from ancient fantasy China. It is also, hopefully, an amusing read? )

This one promises to be absolutely scandalous! Then for the people who are more inclined toward having a sense of any other taste, well, I have recommendations. I've leafed through many, many books this last week and then some, if it's been a week, or any, or who knows? Time here is rather... stagnant. Either way, speak up here, or find me in person, I'm hanging around the third level with all the lounging space.

( ... then the tablet shakes as he tucks the book under an arm and taps at the screen to end the video. )

audio

( and it's only audio because he has the camera covered by something. not on purpose, but whatever. )

So, this is the sort of thing you're into?

[weifinder]

( thus he gets the video response and the squint as Wei Wuxian's identifying the fact this is still video for him, he's just getting a whole lot of darkness on Hua Cheng's end. )

One of many, I like reading when it's not restricted to hundreds of pages of rules. Your camera-eye is covered, the little circle on the front of this tablet?

[deadvotion]

( hua cheng quietly considers this for a few moments — the first part, not the second. )

Most things are far more interesting than rules. What is it about?

( that's a negative on uncovering the camera. now he's just doing it out of pettiness. )

[weifinder]

( now he knows hua cheng... is technologically behind him. or petty. but the first is funnier, so he's going with that! )

Right, see, still covered. Anyway, this one? A salacious take on intrasect taboos. Not that I recognise the way the sect's structured, but it's very ( he just gasps here as a description, and holds a hand over his mouth, eyes jestingly wide. ) salacious!

[deadvotion]

( one thing that hua cheng is behind on is the fact that the library has books on everyone. which include the nasty stories of him and his husband. ignorance, as they say, is bliss. which is why it's easy for him to find this more than amusing, and that absolutely comes across in his tone. )

I'll read it. Sounds... interesting.

[weifinder]

( he considers saying salacious a third time for the hell of it, but ultimately decides against it. the amusement he can hear amuses him more in turn, so ah. )

It's certainly something like that. Anyway, here! This copy's for you, my friend.

( they're not friends but does he really care? nah. he's got his own amusement agenda going on. hua cheng is now Porny Friend. )
