[ spins wheel... we're at the lighthouse! zhongli is circling the building itself, at least as best as possible, chin lifted upwards to take in the structure with curiosity. in one hand is his spear, point angled downwards - at rest, but prepared, just in case there's trouble to be found in bikini bottom. when he comes back around to the front and sees mizu, he perks just slightly and tilts his head. ]
Ah, Master Mizu. Come to take in the new stop on the rails?
It's quite... lively, yes. I'm used to festivals and performances, in Liyue Harbor, but there's a rise and fall to that like a breathing thing.
The, ah, arcade as Rich called it... is constant. Droning, I find.
[ he could only stay there for so long, before he found himself heading up here. the stairs get a thoughtful glance from him as well, considering it - at least we know lighthouses! ]
Japan... I would have guessed you were from Izanami, upon first glance.
[ nope, no familiarity. but he looks from mizu back up to the lighthouse thoughtfully. ]
It's possible. If there were ships, I imagine many of us would be trying to sail to the edge of this place and find a way out. The angels - or God themself, whoever they are - may have thought better of it.
... Huh. Izanami. Funny, that's a name I recognize.
[though they are very much talking about different things here.]
Perhaps god and their angels should have thought better about giving us a beach at all. I'm sure someone will be reckless enough to try swimming their way to the edge.
[ my tablet's autocorrect has fucking cursed me in so many threads that i've had to turn it off. inazuma you useless technology, which is fortunately still an actual japanese word. ]
Perhaps there are some similarities, then.
[ he's imagining a few people trying to swim to freedom... ]
Or attempt to build a raft of some kind. There are the supplies for it, if one were to look. I would rather we not discover whether we can still drown.

Yes. [a glance. and then, thoughtfully:] It's more peaceful here, compared to the rest of the beach.

[though, looks at when the first western style lighthouse was built in japan.
well. follows his gaze and hums.]
Do you know what this tower is for?
no subject
[ help. zhongli's got mizu here, at least, and just hums a noise of understanding. ]
A lighthouse, although it does not seem operational at the moment. I've not seen any ships at least, and no inclement weather to speak of.
no subject
[not expecting him to know what that is, either. but that's fine.]
A lighthouse... But no ships and no light. [hums.] I see. I guess it was left here as a decoration.

Hah. [DEADPAN.] And yet, I get the feeling we'll find out whether we want to or not.
