look it's like ten to 3 am and I have a migraine, but consider with me for a moment

actually no you know what this was going to be a post about Tianji hall: jianghu!mecha makers, but then I remembered sigu sect's weird fucked up clockwork and wire pneumatic tube message tower, and now I'm just thinking about sigu sect 🤝Tianji hall🤝 jianghu's first ISP/proto-telegramn system and laughing like a loon.

per my last wire scroll. reply all incident causes massive paper shortage, 12 dead 4000 square km of forest devastated. ranking fight between two swordsmen severs one of the underground message tubes and the eastern third of the country is without Ye Olde jianghu365 for a week until someone reconnects the message pipes.

Dug these up when looking for a different set of character info cards. These are the character cards from the MLC artbook (edit: the artbook gift might have been a vendor offering or maybe an earlier edition):

LXY got smarter when he became LLH. He was jainghu's "white moonlight" as LXY but becomes Detective Bulldozer as llh.

DFS is equally intelligent to LXY but not as smart as LLH. His skill is = professional scapegoat.

FDB is average intelligence. Skill = skill absorption edit: attracts cases/mysteries

QWM's special skill is suppressing Xiao Zijin

JLQ is as intelligent as LXY and DFS. Her hobby is DFS. Her skill is resource integration.

Kill Me Love Me + Biting

All the characters here that I'm familiar with would absolutely do it, but the ones who'd be stoked about it would be Lei Wujie and Di Feisheng. And Lei Wujie would just be SO STOKED. I feel like his inevitable glee at the prospect makes him the winner.

There's a good chance that Zhou Fei would just be fatigued by the whole idea (Xie Yun would not know whether to have a heart attack or...have a different kind of heart attack).

Whether for the joy of it or the fact that there can be only one, these characters would not stop to think before attacking.

Write-ins, propaganda, and images are welcome!
