Danny doesn't even flinch or bother to dodge the wild swings — it's a wooden sword and any swings that get close enough to actually hit go straight through him easily enough. He blinks owlishly at Jin Ling, tilting his head as he watches him closely.

The shriek was kinda funny. It's been awhile since he heard anyone make that kind of noise in reaction to him. He probably shouldn't be as thrilled by it as he was... But it kinda reminded him of when he'd prank Jazz, back when she was still getting used to his whole... Situation.

So, he makes no effort to hide his amused snort and snickers. He kinda just idly spins around in the air for a moment, before eventually deciding to stand upright on the ground in front of Jin Ling.

"I mean, I'm kinda already in the after life dude. I don't think getting hit by your toy sword would change that." He flashes a grin, wide and with too-sharp teeth. "I don't think it'll do much against any of the monsters here, actually. Do you even know what lives in these woods?"

[jinlingjinrulan]

Jin Ling's ears grow redder, and he grits his teeth. The grip on the wooden sword becomes so harsh that it shatters in his hand. He knows when he's being laughed at, and he doesn't like it.

"Tch! This junk isn't mine! I've never once held a toy! My father's sword was taken from me! But even so, I don't need a weapon to beat ANY monster in my path!" He tries not to linger on the grief he feels of losing his father's sword, knowing he would cry for far too long if he did.

"What are you doing here, anyway?!" His tone makes the question sound more like an accusation, and the glare doesn't help.

“Spicy noodle says what?”

"What???"

Thread 01 || @jinlingjinrulan

It's not every day that Danny comes across another kid that's actually close to his age. If it wasn't for the state of his attire, the boy he's been casually following (NOT stalking!) hike through these woods could've easily been a classmate.

He thinks this guy might be from the same world as hánguāng-jūn, judging by the style of clothing. Maybe. He's not sure if he's even noticed that he's being followed by... well, a ghost. Do cultivators and exorcists have a way of detecting spirits? They used the same kind of energy to some extent, so, they should...

Danny stops right in front of the other kid. He decides to materialize in the visible spectrum before he gets too tired, floating upside down with a curious chirp lodged in the back of his throat. "Hey, there! What brings you 'round this neck of the woods?"

[jinlingjinrulan]

Jin Ling had the distinct feeling he was being followed. Sure, these woods seemed like his usual hunting grounds, and he might only be armed with a wooden sword, but he was going to prove that he was still better than his peers by defeating any monsters with his skills alone.

When a boy appears in front of him, Jin Ling lets out a shriek and starts swinging the wooden blade wildly.

Then it speaks and he lowers his blade, still shaking with freight. "Y-you! Are you trying to get sent to the afterlife??? Sneaking up on a cultivator, that's how you get sent back to the afterlife!" He tries to scold the ghost boy, if only to recover from the shriek he made earlier.

"Ha! As for why I'm here, I'm hunting! For dangerous creatures that need to be gotten rid of! Of course! That's what we do! What a dumb question! You must be dumb! You better be happy my dog Fairy isn't here, she would have bit you for sure!"

[hanlengjun]

Mobei Jun makes a deep rumbling sound which to the untrained ears could be mistaken for a growl. Yet he is not growling, nor is he angered by this brat's pathetic attempts at claiming his head. Mobei Jun chuckles.

Swatting the wooden blade out of his face, the ice demon grabs Jin Ling by the back of his robes, ensnaring some hair from the kid's high ponytail as he does and tosses him into a nearby trash can.

"Brat."

[jinlingjinrulan]

Jin Ling's ears turn pink when he realizes the demon is laughing at him, but before he can start hurling more taunting insults, he's picked up by his robes.

"H-HEY!! LET ME GO!" He yells indignantly, arms flailing uselessly, before being dumped into a trash can. "I DIDN'T MEAN IN A TRASH CAN YOU DEMON!!"

[waaifists]

"What else do you even want to know? I'm a martial artist. End of story."

[jinlingjinrulan]

"I mean why do you look like an animal???? Are you a god of some kind??? I have never seen anyone who looks like you. Ever. So.... what are you?"

[waaifists]

"A martial artist."

He says as if it was the most obvious thing ever.

[jinlingjinrulan]

"That is not what I meant!"

🗲 "If you choose to take a life you must be willing to accept the consequences of your actions regardless of your moral standing. That is the only absolute when it comes to killing. You cannot run away from those consequences no matter how hard you try."

[jinlingjinrulan]

"Often times, taking one life leads to someone else wanting to take yours.... My father was killed because a long term plan from someone else, who's family had been killed. And my uncle's maternal family was all killed in one night, leading to my uncle hunting down every person related to the one who ordered the massacre. Several hundred people died because of one act of revenge..."

@sickhackbassist

"I will pay you to stop that racket! What is that awful sound for anyway?"

[jinlingjinrulan]

@waaifists

This is going to be a very rude question, but Jin Ling cannot help but ask-

"What are you?"

[jinlingjinrulan]

@hanlengjun liked for a starter

He may only be armed with a wooden sword, but Jin Ling knows a demonic creature when he sees one. Not one to let prey slip away, he is already drawing his wooden blade.

"State your name so I know what to tell my uncle when I give him your head!" He challenges.

"Fairy??? Fairy!! Come here, girl!" He calls out as he wanders the streets, trying to find his dog.
