[ 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.
approach? he hasn't immediately registered that someone else is there with him, to be honest. ]
[Despite the fact that it's a wide open beach and he can't see shit anywhere himself. Despite how Zee looks like a tetchy animal on the prowl. We must remain hopeful.]
No. And I was even here last night, with others, before we had found ourselves trapped and then unconscious not long after. [ he gestures with a nod of his chin in the direction of the bonfire, discontent but at least not jumpy for it. ] I take it you haven't seen anything, either.
And I was with her. Up in the showers on the second floor, plus about ten other people who tried to wash up at the wrong time. We were all together the whole night, and then in the morning?
[He snaps his fingers.]
She's gone. No idea how — even Marcoh couldn't bust the door down. Marcoh plus three other guys.
knowing where she started, and then knowing that she got to the beach... ]
There were attempts here, as well, but there was a barrier that we couldn't see. Only feel. [ his hand comes up to his chin, spear raising so he can rest the end of it into the sand as he considers. ] To go from the manor, to the train station - where the ride can make one drowsy, even - before trekking across this entire isle to the beach...
It makes no sense. There had to be something letting her bypass all that shit. Something with either more power or more authority than our overseers have.
Unless they're not as clueless as they seem, but. You know. [they don't seem particularly put together, so who fucking knows.]
I do not want to point fingers at their God, but that is their highest authority, as far as we know, unless there is another whose influence has slipped under that notice.
[ but who fucking knows. ]
And we don't know what state she was found in, save for simply unresponsive.
