[ 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 been chosen for 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. it's easier to watch than read because there's so much dialogue and lore i'm sorry. ]
[ i still haven't gotten the achievement for doing the fight without a shield tbh ]
Mm, I suppose it would be, in some ways. [ he watches the memory ripple across the mirrors, smiling a little sadly, wistfully. how do you grieve that which has not died, physically, and has ghosts of what you once knew? ] But I find that if the bond is impactful enough, the length of your life isn't the true weight of it.
Ah. Though I stepped down from being the Geo Archon, I have always been the God of Contracts, even before becoming Archon. There have been many gods of many things, especially in Liyue - the God of Salt, God of the Stove. [ ... ] The God of Dust.
The nation of Liyue relies upon contracts in everyday life, although many are not quite so official or formal as needing a witness and signature. Purchases, trades, commissions - all can be considered contracts, especially in a nation with thriving commerce. Promises, perhaps, are the most important of them.
It ensures that things remain in a state of order, where you cannot go back on your word without reprecussions. We are a people of our word, and our word is our oath, our bond, and our contract.

anyway. this is all very fascinating. and at times, moving. ]
It is difficult to comprehend the weight of bonds formed in a life so long-lived...
[ some would imagine such bonds would be lighter, easily forgotten over time. but that's not what she sees here. ]

... They said that you are the "God of Contracts"? What does that mean?

What does one do in such a role? Do you punish those who break their oaths?
