I have a need to hire a writer. I aim to be bonded officially to my wife as soon as I have the appropriate vows written, but words are not my area of expertise. I therefore ask this community to help me compose my bond vows. I will compensate you for your contribution, should I judge your writing worthy of my use.

[ ....... ]

I also have need of coin. I have the money that came with me through the mirror, but the currency here is not the same. For now, I can pay you in silver or gold. If that is unacceptable, then as soon as someone can point me to a means of income then I will pay you in the local tender.

That is all.

I'm afraid I'm too busy with my own work to offer a composition. But if you're ever in need of cunes, please don't hesitate to ask. I know the sorts of labor in demand for gainful employment may not be to your tastes, after all.

[disasterstraight]

I would rather not rely on favors from family to get by. If I must get by on my own merits, then so be it.

[ ....Well, at least he called him family? ]

[turmoiling]

[Too bad Jin Zixuan has no idea just how many family members Jin Guangyao has killed by his point in the timeline.]

Are you quite certain? It's no trouble at all, especially for the sake of my brother and his wife.

Besides which, without your cultivation here, I do worry. I suppose your swordsmanship will be unaltered, but do you truly see yourself as a mercenary? It seems like dangerous work, and I wouldn't want to see you harmed.

jin zixuan. i will write them for free, do not keep my sister waiting.

[disasterstraight]

You'll forgive me if I don't exactly trust you to write an accurate portrayal of my feelings.

[weiward]

you just might be surprised.

but in the end shijie doesn't want the perfect words. she wants your words. speak from the heart and complete your bond, before she realizes she has options.

your trying to convince someone you'll pay them to do something for you in the same breath as your asking how to get money here

thats not inspiring

[disasterstraight]

As I said, I have money. It's just not been exchanged for the local currency yet.

[ He has never not been the richest person in any given room. Give him time to adjust. ]

[hoboagogo]

just sell the silver and gold at the market. or pick up a few jobs off the board.

but anyway i dunno any writers. and people herell probably give you bad advice

wouldnt it make more sense just to write it yourself? who cares if it sounds fancy as long as its what you wanna say

[sylphid]

lol

[disasterstraight]

I believe your message was cut short. It was only three letters, and they do not make a word on their own.

[sylphid]

it wasn't. it just means you're adorable. [only kinda but this is what she's going with.]

because your insistence on having something meaningful for the person you love is cute.

Just write what you feel.

What kind of job are you looking for?

lol means Laugh Out Loud.

[Sorry Fie, but don't troll a guy whose from a time that he's using silver and gold as currency!!]

[disasterstraight]

What I feel cannot be contained in simple words.

I am not sure what job would be appropriate. I am a cultivator by training. I have never had to work a mediocre man's job before.

It does? I see... I have been misled. Is there any way to gauge truth on these devices? So much of this technology and this world is foreign to me.

[afoolshope]

That generally is the case. But sometimes simple is best.

[Coming from a guy who doesn't talk much on his own when not in text form.]

Cultivator? Like farming?

It's an abbreviation that came about when technology like this became accessible to kids and teens like myself. It's just easier sometimes, but she was correct in a way. This is awfully adorable. (* ^ ω ^)

Jin Zixuan. ( no snooping, promise! he just happened to be there when his bonded received his response. )

If you are loath to trust family, perhaps you should not ask strangers.

[disasterstraight]

[ What in the world is that username? He's already talking to Wei Wuxian, so this could only be... ] Hanguang-jun.

It is not because he is family that I am loath to trust him. Surely you know of the checkered history the two of us have when it comes to the subject of A-Li.

[taciturnly]

( hey, don't make fun of his utterly whipped, sentimental heart.....

......actually, please do. some things changed drastically while you were... uh. gone. )

Be that as it may, Wei Ying would not risk vexing his sister. ( especially now. if no one else, trust him on this. )

Have you tried penning anything?

lol :)

[disasterstraight]

[ Yeah, he should have seen this coming. ]

So much for my surprise.

You certainly are taking to this new technology quickly.

[rootstalks]

I can stop reading now, and it will still be a surprise.

[ Ah, wait. Speaking of new technology, she's just noticed... ]

Is this private?

Your wife?

( I'm sorry about Nico ... )

Well shit, no wonder you got all weird about cutting my skirt off

[disasterstraight]

Oh, it's you.

[ I am equally sorry about Zixuan. ]

That would have been scandalous even if I wasn't married. Short skirts are improper for polite company.

text: un, huaisang, i am so late but also!

[headshaking]

Congratulations are in order! How nice!
If you need help to write such a romantic thing, I wouldn't mind assisting you!
From a classmate to a former classmate!

Have you decided what you want to say?

[disasterstraight]

Ah, so you're here as well. Chifeng-zun had mentioned.

[ Specifically, he'd mentioned that Jin Guangyao had tried to kill Nie Huaisang, but his half brother's indiscretions are hardly a pleasant topic of conversation. ]

I think I have settled on penning my own vows, but I wouldn't turn down another set of eyes just to make sure they sound alright.

I want to convey to her my deepest love and promise to remain faithful until the earth burns down around us.
