[ Zichen only has one way to communicate with people so far, so he doesn't attempt to add any images. ]

Please forgive the intrusion to your day. I am Song Zichen, and I have what may seem an unusual question. In this world, is there a way for those without certain body parts to regain them? Specifically, I lack a tongue, and my soulmate lacks eyes. We are hoping to regain them, if it is possible.

Any suggestions are appreciated.

nothing to my nolledge I'm afraid

U could probably surgically attach one on u but its probably not gonna do more than cosmeticks

[Goodness, Genbu's spelling leaves a lot to be desired.]

[ This is almost painful to read, but there's still important information in it so...he rubs at his eyes and reads it over again to make sure he understands what is being said. ]

I do not mind surgeries, but the result would need to be functional rather than ornamental.

...Thank you for answering with what you know.

[protectorofsmiles]

yeah, that sounds way too complicated for a surgery

Now if u were in my world maybe some sort of advanced magicks could probly do something, but

How did u lose yor tongue? Thats the licking mussle in yor mouth, right

I didn't know they were spelled like that hahaha I always spelled it tong

Text - cw mutilation of the tongue

[tobrushawaysnow]

[ ...A child. Surely he's speaking with a child. ]

It might also be possible in my world. I am not a doctor so do not know.

My tongue was cut out. Yes, that is what people use to...lick, and helps with eating, and is how people speak. I can hum, laugh a little, but that is all.

Tong is something else.

[protectorofsmiles]

[Assuming Genbu is a child, or any relation to the word "small" is everyone's first mistake, it's okay.]

I know wat a tongue is hahahaha I just always thot it was spelled differently haha yor a silly person!!!

Anyways

Sorry to heer about yor tongue I can imagine it must have hurt a lot I only heer about tongue cutting in stories about hell sounds like that's wat u been thru!

[ He's totally picturing an adorable child on the other end of this. ]

You would be one of few to consider me amusing. [ He's not exactly known for his sense of humor. ]

I have led an...unusual life, one could say. I hope you never have to experience some of the more unusual aspects that I have.

[protectorofsmiles]

oooooh well I can't say I've led the same kind of life u led but I've had my own struggels so I can simpathize! I can imagine you probly went thru a lot if u have no tongue!

Does it hurt??

Song Lan?? You're here too??

[tobrushawaysnow]

Yesterday, yes.

[diabolique]

(( It's so good that Song Lan and Xiao Xingchen get to have a chance again. Wei Wuxian can't help smiling on his side of the conversation. ))

Are you staying with Xiao Xingchen?

[tobrushawaysnow]

[ Mentioning that name has him frown, a little wary. Who is this that knows their names? WWX...?

It's a guess, but eventually- ]

Wei Wuxian? Yes. We found each other here and are sharing a residence.

[diabolique]

Yes, it's me!

Are you settling in well? Do you need any help?

[tobrushawaysnow]

[ He relaxes at the confirmation, and even smiles a little at the kind offer. ]

We are managing. You are welcome where we are. If you feel we should know something that hasn't been explained, I would appreciate hearing of your experiences here.

[diabolique]

I've only been here for three months, but there's been a lot of excitement! You won't get bored here.

[ The voice that comes out of the network is...well. It's big and resonant and suggests that there's something in his mouth, and that's even before we get to the slight growl. ]

...alright. I um, read some of the other messages on here, I have no idea if this will work, but I can try to do something for you two.

[ He's still not sure whether this will work on undead. ]

[tobrushawaysnow]

[ The voice itself is nothing like he's used to. But what the voice says is far more important. ]

I am willing to try. Thank you. What do you need me to do?

[ Maybe he's jumping on this offer too quickly - he knows he is. But he's willing to do strange things if it makes his soulmate happy. ]

[jasidian]

Well. Um. If this doesn't work, the worst that's going to happen is just a bunch of nothing. So it's worth a shot...

All I really need is an hour or two of your time.

I've wanted to ask. Your partner, are they...like you?

[ Undead, he means. ]

[tobrushawaysnow]

Time is something I have plenty of.

No. Xiao Xingchen is alive. He merely lacks eyes.

[jasidian]

Alright. I'm able to restore his eyes, no problem.

It's you I'm unsure about. There hasn't really been much precedent for this sort of thing working on the dead, and I know other healing spells can't, so...

I apologize in advance if this doesn't work out.

But the living? Doable.

[tobrushawaysnow]

Even only restoring his eyes would be enough.

Do you know of a way to restore my life? My soul, body, and mind remain connected. My heart does not beat.

I know this is a lot to ask. Any effort is appreciated.

[Voice to Text]

[gentledawn]

What do I need to do to make your assistance easier?

[This offer means the world to him. Even if Zichen is unable to have a tongue (he will find another way to help him) Xingchen will be able to understand him far easier with eyes.]

Re: [Voice to Text]

[jasidian]

oh! Yes, um, hello. I assume you're their partner?

There's nothing in particular I need to do for you other than just have maybe a few hours of your time. The actual spell shouldn't be more than a few minutes, maybe an hour? But I can imagine you might just need some time to re-orient yourself after getting your eyes back.

As for your partner, I can restore them, but it's going to be complicated.

[Voice to Text]

[gentledawn]

I am. Song Zichen is...very kind to me. I want to help him too, but the process would be much easier if I could see.

[He settles a flurry of nerves and nods to himself.]

Yes, you are right. When are you free? I don't wish to impose. We can speak more in person about Song Zichen.

[jasidian]

I just got here, so...honestly, whenever you're ready.

[gentledawn]

Thank you. You needn't aid us and yet...

If there is anything I can do for you in return, I will.
