[Xingchen presents himself as neatly as he is able, his appearance immaculate right down to his horsetail whisk. Said whisk rests on his lap, his hands toying with it nervously.]

Greetings, fellow travelers. I am Xiao Xingchen. [He gives a small bow at the waist before straightening with a soft smile.] I am a Cultivator who is unaffiliated with any sect. For those who do not recognize the title, a Cultivator is one who can combat, silence or exorcise ghosts, demons or other monstrosities.

[Here, he pauses.]

I have heard that demons are present in our number. I mean you no harm as long as you remain peaceful.

And who are you to decide what is peaceful?

[Well. He seems okay, for a demon hunter. Even if he did indirectly call her a monstrosity.

Still, best to introduce yourself. Diplomacy is key.]

Hi, demon here. Appreciate the assurance that you aren't going to kill me, I guess?

For posterity, I've never killed or tortured any humans, and I don't intend to start now. I just live here.

FIGHT ME!

[Yes, poor Xingchen just got screamed by the most malevolent spirit in human flesh according to the Veil's hierarchy. It seems not all the demons and monstrosities here are as peaceful as they seem.]

You're supposed to be some sort of demon hunter or whatever, right? Then how about we see what you can do?

-- Oh, now it's working! Why would you want to silence ghosts?

What do you consider a monstrosity?

[Chongyun has no idea what a Cultivator is, but this person has mentioned exorcism and that pings Chongyun almost instantly.]

You are also an exorcist? I was not expecting to meet another one here.

[Hijikata hasn't posted on the network so far (though he has lurked a good bit to put some faces to (user)names and read some discussions). When he sees Xingchen's post, though, he can't help but want to reach out to him. He most likely isn't from the same timeline as the Xingchen he met on Prismatica - he isn't wearing that white blindfold, for a start! -, but Hijikata can't help the fond feelings and memories from returning.]

It's good to have someone with your skillset around, and good of you to call for a truce right away, but be careful out there. Now they know you're here, and some may be more powerful or sneaky than what you're used to.

[He says that despite knowing that Xingchen's skills aren't to be underestimated and that he isn't the type to get cocky and careless. Still, he just wants him to be careful! A kind person like Xingchen shouldn't have anything bad happen to him.]

[Xiao Xingchen? Xue Yang's Xiao Xingchen?]

I don't know how else to say this, but have you seen any other worlds before now? I can't help thinking I've heard your name before.
