[ What the hell are these machines and how do they even work?! Zhongli is trying his best to even understand what these things do as the machine shoots tokens at him. He’s at least agile enough to dodge them but other people might have a harder time in doing so. He is persistent, if anything else, and will dodge another token aimed at his head before moving off to the side to hide behind one of the cursed machines. ]
Unfortunately, I am not exactly well-versed in whatever these strange machines need us to do. I will try to protect us both while you fish those keys out of its innards. [ He’s saying that so matter of fact and deadpan serious it’s hard to take him as such. ]
Clean Up - Enma
[ As being part of the Enma Department Zhongli is of course helping with whatever might be needed from the fallout of what appears to have been a curse. So, he’ll be offering bottles of water, food, and whatever help he can assist with as the day goes on. ]
If there is something I might be able to do for you, please state it as such. I am here to offer my help in any way possible.
[ Is what he’ll say to someone that looks like they need it. ] Even if it is some to simply talk to. I have quite the vast amounts of stories to tell if that’s something you would be interested in listening to.
Ghost Shark
[ Well this is certainly unfortunate. As one of the poorest archons Zhongli has little to offer the children in exchange for the totem. He might be standing there with his usual expression and arms crossed over his chest. He's in deep contemplation it seems before opening up his amber eyes. ]
These children are not unaccustomed to the methods of trade and bartering. However, I am without sufficient payment to appease their part of the contract. Do you perhaps have anything that a child would deem sufficient?
[ He doesn’t know how humans work, let alone human children?! Please help him… ]
Cursed Corners
Vision 1)
[ Being alive as long as Zhongli one is going to have loved ones, failings, and everything in between. It’s of no surprise that when one might happen upon him, trapped in his own accursed vision there is a myriad of ones to play out. The woman he sees is that of a loved one, long since gone, her flowing robes and hair ethereal as she walks slowly and silently towards Zhongli. Zhongli’s amber eyes widen slightly as he finally hears that voice that has been silent for over two thousand years. ]
Why were you not strong enough to protect me?
[ The ex-archon remains all but silent, aside from the sigh that he lets out, the regret in his expression is easily seen through his amber eyes as they tick away before the vision dissipates into nothingness. ]
Vision 2)
[ A mighty stone dragon roars with pain and anger as a familiar figure, resembling that of Zhongli, stands before it. Morax doesn’t look to have any sort of feeling or doubt about what he’s doing, only that it must be done. The dragon, Azhdaha yells in defiance once more- ]
How dare you turn your back on me, Morax!! All for the sake of these worms!!
[ The vision will end with Azhdaha’s imprisonment and Morax’s sagging shoulders as he looks tiredly away from the beast that once was one of his best friends. ]
Wildcard!
[ Feel free to write up a prompt not listed or hash something out with me! ]
