RECIPIENT    :   @vermitic 
            
                  apologies , you look incredibly pale so i thought some tea and honey as well as some tonics may work !

RECIPIENT    :   @holylies 
            
                  your body has endured too much ... your life has become full of pain and doubt that your soul begins to suffer as well
            
            { a look of contempt passes through his face , before it cools down into something much softer . he sighs softly , a serene smile filling his lips as he looked up at him }
            
            i could help you , you know ?
            
            { it was a dangerous offer , like handing your fate in the hands of a man you've only heard of , and not fully spoken with }
            
            all you need to do .. is to ask me to . i'm more than willing to take you out of your misery , to salvage what is left of your soul .

[the blonde visibly softens by this realization, the words of the embalmer saccharine─raw. however, the doubt engulfs the mind.] ⠀it seethes within me, causing so much discomfort. i do not feel safe in my own skin .. my soul betrays the flesh. and i do not feel like myself. ⠀[the touch to the chest is fleeting, but the lingered feeling of it was kind. one did not seem to find the corruption to his frame unsightly; how bizarre.. he's often despised it's appearance.]
            
            ha, you and i.. our perspectives truly clash to one another. ⠀[scoffs soleil, the airy billow brief.] ⠀though it is true, that abundance and preservation are often entangled to one. so why is it that i am suffering?

                      well , your soul is still tangible is it not ?
            
            { li shen responded , a slender finger extending to poke the very center of hid chest , eyes crinkling at the sides as he cranes his head to the right -- seemingly amused by the mere preposterousness of the question .  since when was the body more important than that of the soul ?  }
            
            i care not for your physical appearance , for life resides not in flesh but in the intangible aspect of the soul .   it would still be you , even if you looked different . 
            
            { a brief pause fills the air as he lowered his hand , tucking it into his sleeve as he pondered . the amber lord , the aeon of what was it -  preservation ? did that not go hand in hand with abundance ? at least , the simpler definition of such did . }
            
            preservation is defined by ... what i assume is the keeping of ones physicality intact - but to me , your soul is an array of colors and light that can barely be held justice by your flesh and bone .

RECIPIENT   :    @erasures 
            
                      of course , a human soul is what ties them to the concepts of the underworld . let's say you take out the leaves of a leaf tea , would it still be considered a leaf tea ? in simpler terms , it is what is on the inside that binds us to our identities , our bodies are simply shells ... fickle ... tangible matters .

if i didn't know better,  i would've believed they were still alive but only sleeping.  they look very peaceful ( ... )  and what do you mean by physically?  their soul is still tangible even after death?

RECIPIENT   :    @erasures 
            
                            hahahaha ! that must mean i've done a good job on the makeup then ? you cannot distinguish if they're alive or not .... but to answer you're question , they are dead physically .

                       seems like such a waste though , no matter . it seems you're content with living a fruitless life ^^

well, i don’t want it. go ask someone else, ‘kay?

RECIPIENT   :    @holycrave 
            
                         why you seem so distressed of your current life   ,   i'm only offering a remedy my friend   ^^

╱    TYSM ??? URS IS SO PRETTY TEW !!@holycrave 

    ❛❛  LIFE NEED NOT BE FINITE , FOR IT IS ONLY THE BODY THAT DIES , AND THE SOUL LIVES ON  . .
            
            
            LI SHEN believes that one could achieve immortality through reincarnation , hiding his role as YAOSHI'S emanator , he quietly preaches reincarnation through every body he embalms , extracting their soul to repurpose into a new being .

    LI SHEN is the embalmer for 续生堂 (Xù Shēng Táng) funeral parlor , a man of great renown and silent observations .
            
            they say that once you enter your loved one into this parlor , you leave their life in the hands of a reanimator , a man who can allow their life not to be fickle , but reinvigorated into new purpose . 

       life is such a fickle matter , you are born from ash and return to ash with no yield for your own fate .  but what if you could live forever ?
            
            FATE need not always be in destiny's hands ; it can be at the hands of a funeral parlor , or the hands of an EMBALMER
