[ 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.
I truly would have expected Master Mizu to wake up the moment someone so much as stepped into the area, to be honest with you, before either of us even stirred.
[ mizu is so highkey alert to everything. ]
It sounds as if Charlie had quite the journey, from the mansion to the beach, yet no one was any the wiser.
That it would unlock for her... perhaps even the barriers fell, as well, to allow her free roam. I hope that her journey was because she was trying to check on everyone, rather than anything more nefarious.

[ they really just slept through someone dying, huh. ]
I got nothin' there, I sleep as much as anyone else. Weird that the two of you didn't at least wake up and sense somethin' goin' on though.

[ actually. he can see it. ]
No sign of anythin'. Richie was searchin' that doorframe inside an' out and saw nothin'. No sign of her breakin' the lock open.

They seem like they're pretty alert mosta the time. If anyone'd have picked somethin' up... [ mizu they believed in you ]
She still ended up dead though. Even if she had good intentions, it didn't go well for her.
