Hm... quite the vast pantry, compared to the cafe...
[ nvm you get the kitchen idk why i asked. but zhongli is surveying the ingredients with interest, no longer cosplaying venti as he does, picking up spices and regarding their labels before neatly putting them back. he even gives them a little turn, making sure that they're label-out. very polite. ]
The appliances, however... [ looking at all of this stainless steel like ? this is not my beautiful liyue style kitchen. he's yet to notice that basilio has come in, absorbed in his curiosity as he is. ]
zhongli at least doesn't startle, necessarily, though he does tense up in preparation - before he relaxes again, realizing it's not some spooky thing to fight. ]
Goodness - hello, there, I wasn't aware that there was someone else already in here.
S'alright. Didn't mean to interrupt your thinkin' there. [ he instinctively knew if he didn't butt in, he'd start hearing about osmanthus wine.... (no) ]
[ he's outside the pizza shop and fry stand area at the moment, regarding them from the boardwalk in front. in one hand is his spear, point angled downward. the other goes from resting in contemplation at his chin to raising slightly in greeting. ]
Come to explore this festive pier, as well? There seems to be more interesting food yet again.
[ he'd say maybe he feels a little better having talked to someone about their situation, even if he's still not entirely sure what the angels want from them, exactly. redemption? from what? ]
Yeah, somethin' like that. Lot more opened up real suddenly, didn't it?
[ he's... still not quite sold on the situation, but he will take it day by day. no other choice for it. ]
Much like it had on the second day, although I wonder what the rate of discovery will be for the rest of this "slice of Heaven," as Ramiel called it. Over a period of days, or over the weeks that Zuriel told me were between us and judgement day?
[ 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.
near the bonfire that they stayed at last night, he slows a bit, as if trying to see if anything is different from the moment that they'd woken up or not.
approach? he hasn't immediately registered that someone else is there with him, to be honest. ]
[ depressed beach lads on the beach of murder and depression like what the fuck happened here. basilio's actually arriving on the beach, looking maybe a little tired. he's done the rounds, run around the beach with eupha looking for things that could tell them what was going on; caught up with people, tried to find out more about what happened, where people were.
he's honestly just more confused than he had been when he got ramiel's message. ]
... no. Not a thing. Do you recall when we'd fallen asleep?
[ he's staring at the remains of the bonfire, outright perterbed. ]
Miss Firefly has little need for sleep, apparently, and I've never needed as much as an adeptus. I'm an especially light sleeper when I do fall asleep. But no signs of anything, and no recollection of when we'd fallen asleep or of anything in the night rousing me, despite something having happened.
rng is the morning/noon/evening/night, and you get... afternoon! happy valentines day!
when the snow begins to melt so quickly, zhongli is briefly concerned about there being some weird, terrible thing about to happen again. at least there's no barriers to run into or anything, but. when weather is so abrupt like this you kind of have to worry. seeing that everything changes is a small comfort, at least, even if it's only a small one. so he just dusts any melting snow off his hair and his shoulders, only pausing slightly when he notices bas in the middle of all the heart-shaped balloons and streamers and flowers. he can't help the slight smile of amusement. ]
Well. That was unusual. A new holiday... I believe this is one whose traditions have only recently reached Liyue. [ curiously making his way over towards the chocolates stall with the open recipe book with a flick of his tail. ] Wine and chocolates... and quite delicious looking, at that. You might enjoy this recipe book, Basilio.
[ bas has normal human ears and his regular ones, just for you snow-- no he doesn't. my brain is mush so i haven't even thought about transformations, but there probably is one i'll figure it out. ]
A recipe book?
[ oh. well..... he'll wander over but he doesn't look at it for the moment. ] You know what all this is about?
[ i'll kill you and flurry you're my sleep paralysis deMONS ]
Mm, for chocolates, it looks like. [ he shifts out of the way to make space for bas, tail giving a twitch. ] It's a holiday where one gives gifts to loved ones, mostly with a lean on romantic relationships, with chocolates and heart-shaped themes. The practice has become recent in Liyue, as well as a holiday a month later where you return gifts to those that gave you one the month prior.
[ alright. well. saber is apparently NOT IN THE HOSPITAL, so you'd better be.
zhongli is going to figure out where basilio is, regardless of where that winds up being, with a tray of tea and some food balanced on one hand. his concern's only increased since he saw their return to heaven, considering their collective behavior. so... time to find out how the rest of you are doing? hopefully fidelio kept him in one place... ]
It certainly is. [ fortunately, he's talked to saber some about all of this. so he knows that your memories are mcfuckin toasted right now. ] In the event that you do not remember me, at the moment, I'm part of the community that you've found yourself in for the past few weeks. I would go so far as to say we're friends.
I brought some tea and food for you, to settle your stomach with the medicine you've been given.
[ i'm going to drop us directly into memshare so that i can make sure we get everything taken care of. so whether they're in the funhouse or step through a doorway and find themselves there...
well, congrats! you've chosen a memory of stone for this one! if you want another one later on in the thread or the week i've GOT you, though i apologize that this is 20 minutes of genshin cutscenes. you know this mem it's easier to watch than read but at least you can watch it at a faster speed. ]
