[ honestly rng choosing beach is wildly appropriate. zhongli can be found with polearm in hand, point angled downwards but grip tight and ready rather than absently loose like it had been for most of the week so far. he's walking the length of the beach and scanning it with brow furrowed, expression severe, like he's just - looking. for anything. where charlie was, any signs of a scuffle or struggle or fight or anything, but coming up short the entire way.
when he notices that laurence is simply... roaming, he makes his way over towards him, angling his approach so that it's in line of sight rather than something to startle him. ]
[ there's a low, steady sigh through his nose - like a dragon breathing fire - before he shakes his head. ]
I was, but there's been nothing thus far. Last night there was a group here, at the bonfire, and I was among them - so I was hoping to perhaps find something that was out of place from what I recall.
Rich and Yves have reported that she was with them, last night, along with a large majority of people in the manor. Even Mister Marcoh was unable to break down the door.
And, yet, she made it out here without a single trace of anything. They could've cleaned it up, but the final messages that Ramiel sent... I don't think they know any more than we do.
It is. It makes me wonder - when those of us still awake fell unconscious, was she spared from that? Did the locks and barriers fall and allow her passage?
[ why her..? ]
We shall see what that plan is, I hope. Or at least get an answer.
I don't get why they'd lock in the first place if it's just going to unlock again automatically...
Most of the people here aren't just going to sit around waiting for much longer than that, even if there's no answer at all. [ even if it's stupid to be reckless about it when someone just double died. ] They've got to know that.
Nor do I. That will be one of the first questions I ask when we see them again - and I have quite a few for them.
[ sighs..... ]
I cleaned up quite a few messes today that weren't there first thing, this morning, so it's already begun. [ it's what charlie would have done, would have wanted. ] If they're omnipresent, or at least observing us somehow, I should hope that they are aware that the lashing out will only get worse.
That was you...? [ he shouldn't be surprised. ] I don't think they're just leaving us because they want to... but I don't know if everyone will care about that.
Among the obvious questions, I'm concerned about where her little friend, Razzle, has gone to in all of this. I hope that he's alright.
[ a nod. ] Mister Lucas and I cleaned the stage, but I worked on the others when I came across them. I agree, though, on both points. Tensions will rise, and it's out of their hands while they're trying to find answers, or preparing for tomorrow.

Mr. Zhongli. Were you trying to find any clues, too? Looks like a lot of you had the same idea.
[ people keep telling him they're finding nothing, though... awful. ]

It's weird, isn't it? That even he couldn't open it, but if she was there with them, then it definitely didn't stay locked.
...Sounded like there's still a plan for, though.

[ DO THEY NEED TO GO CHECK? ]
So we're really just stuck here. There's nothing we can do at all, for anyone, until tomorrow.

[ OUR RAZZLE. ]
Unfortunately. I can't say I much enjoy it, either, and many I've talked to haven't been pleased.
no subject
Of course they aren't. Everyone liked Charlie.
