[ 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. ]
mizu takes a walk down the perimeter of the now entirely nonexistent wall. but of course, there's absolutely nothing to find there for now. so. bonfire time it is. hello, zhongli. just comes chill next to him, saying in lieu of a greeting--]
[ his eyes are scanning the area around the bonfire, fingers flexing on his weapon as he thinks, processing, trying to pinpoint a single difference. ]
And Ramiel's accidental message does not bode well for how things will proceed. When I said that I would rather we not test if we could die a second time... [ he meant it. especially for someone like charlie. ] Have you spoken with others about where they were?
And of their number, gentlemen of considerable strength. Both Mister Marcoh and Hawke were there but unable to break down the door that barred their exit, much like our unseen barrier.
[ frowning... not the fafo they wanted. ]
Yet no one stirred even the slightest during her journey.
It would be better if that wasn't the case. But I'm sure I don't need to tell you to be prepared for the worst. Something has clearly gone wrong, but as to how wrong...

[now they've fucked around and found out.]
I've been told Charlie was in the showers, by more than one person. She traveled a long way to end up here.

[hmmm...]
They only claimed she was unresponsive when they found her. It's hard to say if no one else was awake with that vague of a description.

[ ... mm. ]
I hope that her reason for crossing so much ground over the course of the night was not because another was on her trail.
