Such an interesting app the Traveller had introduced to me..
Hm.. It has been a few days since I've installed it. I should use it atleast once in a while to see what people are up to.
I'll stay and see what it has, though I don't promise that I will be.. "on line" most of the time.

Zoro was facing another weird door. There were golden scales on it and on each scale, was a diamond, along with a rhombus that was on the scales. The rhombus was drawn in a unique way, as if there was a hidden meaning behind it.
He didn't let out a single sound, even though the whole thing was annoying and he wanted to kick the door. He knew it'd reappear, though, which meant that he had to enter. The crew celebrated their victory on the tyrant Wapol from Drum Island and welcomed Chopper, their new crew member abroad a few minutes ago.
Zoro thought that a nap wouldn't hurt now, but apparently, the door of the toilet was behind the magical brown door, which meant that he got lost. Again. So he opened the door and stepped into the street.
He saw big and small buildings with unique roofs, stalls with food, jewelry, and antiques, people with colorful Tang suits, hanfus, and qipaos walking across the streets, and a lots of grass. At least the flowers were beautiful.
The fresh air was nice. But it was also mixed with the smells of cooked meat and floral perfumes. What a weird mix.
The scene was quite beautiful, but also very confusing to him. Where was he?

🥔: holy yap. Hope everything I wrote is fine.
[Zhongli was out at the Heyu Tea House, enjoying a usual morning cup of tea.. He paused mid sip once he noticed a door appear in the middle of the street, a man walking out (or in?) and the door later disappearing.]
[That is indeed something you'd not see even in those novels from Inazuma..]
[He observed from above for a while as he finished his tea, humming quietly to himself. Not everyday would an unknown individual step into the world like this, after all.]
[Zhongli thought about his actions, choosing to see what was up.]
[Down the stairs, approaching the green-haired man.]
"Excuse me.. You seem quite lost." [He spoke.] "Would you like any help?"
Zoro turned to look at the direction where the calm voice came from. He was met with a tall man with amber eyes and a long dark brown hair that was a bit lighter at the end and was tied into a low ponytail.
He couldn't say anything to deny the situation he was in. He wasn't in his own world and his clothes were different from the people that passed by him. He wore a simple light blue tee shirt and pink pants, so he had no choice but to tell the seemingly nice stranger the truth.
"Yeah. I am...lost", he whispered. It was an annoying thing to admit.
"Hm.." [He hummed, his voice a low, soothing baritone.] "Well, for the beginning.. You are in Liyue. It is the nation of contracts and prosperity."
[Zhongli faintly smiled, crossing his arms on his chest as he spoke. Posture steady, providing a pillar that could bring support.]
"If you'd like to see Liyue's tourist spots, I have a few references. They are quite the sight to witness, especially for someone who's here for the first time." "That is, if you have the time for that or would simply like to go that route. It's better to acknowledge your surroundings when they're unknown to make sure you are safe."
[The man nodded, although he didn't push Zoro into the decision.]
So the place was called Liyue. What an interesting name. Nami would've liked the place if she was with him. Prosperity and contracts were right up her alley.
He didn't mind going to the tourist spots, as he had nowhere to go to for now. Maybe he'd ask the stranger if there are any motels nearby. But it'd be nice to get to know this place.
"You're right. I'd like to go and visit some sights here", he said, and realized he didn't know the latter's name.
"What's your name by the way? I forgot to ask that".
"You may call me Zhongli." [He replied.] "I apologise, it would've been more polite to introduce myself first before such a talk."
[Zhongli cleared his throat, turning to the side a bit as he extended a hand towards the space infront of them, inviting Zoro to go on a walk, pretty much.]
"The current weather is delightful to have a walk in, especially as the Harbor isn't too lively today."
"It's fine. I'm Zoro", he said. The name of the brunette somehow suited him. It is regal and elegant. Zoro wondered what it meant. He supposed that the of them were busy with the subject of Zoro getting lost. That habit was annoying to him.
Just like Zhongli said, the current weather was really nice at the moment. It'd be nice to walk around the region. He was curious to see the mentioned harbor as well.
"Ok. Let's go", he said.
He didn't know what to do with the hand that was extended towards him, though. They just met. Zoro wasn't the type of person who was into touching people he wasn't close to.
"Zoro.. That is indeed a nice name, fitting for you."
[Zhongli nodded, retracting his arm a few seconds later. Still getting used to being a 'human'.]
"We could start off with the Heyu Tea House, as I came from there when I first saw you. The tea there is magnificent, as well as the occasional performances from lady Yun Jin."
"Thanks", he said. A tea house would sound good at the moment. He wouldn't mind a cup of herbal or black tea right now. But how can people drink tea, and watch performers at the same time? Is it nice to drink tea while someone's performing right in front of you?
"I wouldn't mind. But, how do the performances keep you calm while you're drinking tea?", Zoro asked, knowing that he'd prefer to drink tea in a quiet place, unless the music is calm and the singer is not too loud.
"Lady Yun Jin's performances are a soothing balm to the mind, and the tea just strengthens the effects." [He warmly smiled as they slowly ascended up the stairs.]
"The stage is relatively small, so she has to move in one spot.. But her singing and graceful movement are just enough to catch the audience and pull them into the very story she's telling."
"For many cases, Lady Yun Jin is very talented. She wrote various modern masterworks, one of them being 'The Divine Damsel of Devastation'.. And she moves away from old tales about the adepti to focus more on the domestic human life."
[Ish, quite the talker.. But with his voice and way to 'story tell', it was pretty calming.]
"Sometimes, the performances may be even good enough that I sit still and watch, the tea left untouched. ..Clearly, I've done many fine tea sets a disservice, as drinking them cold would serve them injustice."
So this performer, Yun Jin, is supposed to be calming and interesting. She's not supposed to move too much, since the stage is small, and the tea and her performances are a good mix.
If those stories of hers made Zhongli forget about his tea, until it was cold and leave it alone, her stories probably were really good. This sounded promising, really, but Zoro didn't know if he'd think the same as Zhongli after watching her performance. But he had to witness it, or else, he wouldn't know.
And yet, there was one thing that confused him as he followed the seemingly warm man. "What is adepty?", he asked.
[Zhongli's pace faltered for just a fraction of a second before he resumed.] "Adepti is the plural for an adeptus. They are immortal, powerful beings who had signed a contract with Rex Lapis, the formerly Geo Archon, to protect Liyue."
[The man's expression seemed to soften.] "We are all extremely grateful to the adepti. Although, people are learning to depend less on them and fight on their own during this.. new age."
So the adepti were supernatural creatures, that were like heroes to the netizens. After all, why else would people be grateful for them?
And what's an archon? It sounded like a name of another strong being. And Zhongli said Rex Lapis was the former Archon... What a unique name. Was this Archon a dinosaur? Is there a new Archon?
"I'm still confused about the Archon stuff. Was that Rex guy a dinosaur? And what is an Archon exactly?"
[He almost choked on the very oxygen he breathed. It's understandable for someone being so clueless.. But Zhongli didn't expect THIS clueless.]
"An Archon is.. A god of a nation. To put it short.. Thousands of years ago, there was an Archon War and Seven thrones. Each throne had their own element and a nation to rule over."
[Zhongli faintly smiled.]
"Rex Lapis mainly took upon two forms. A human one and one of a dragon. To be more precise, half-dragon half-qilin. Although, as an Archon and an adeptus, he could take upon many other forms."
"There is a legend circling among the Treasure Hoarders about a 'Golden Geo Slime King'.. Some speculate that it could have been Rex Lapis himself."
"..Rex Lapis used to be the last original Archon left out of the Seven, if we don't exactly include Barbatos, the Anemo Archon. His death was quite devastating, as it happened during a festival Liyue holds once every year called the Rite of Descension."
[He.. talks a lot when it comes to history. And just generally talks a lot. He seems knowledgeable.]
"He came each one of these days to give the people of Liyue a prediction and advice on how to go on with the year. Seeing him fall down from the sky in his dragon form, albeit a bit smaller in size, and hit the very ground underneath.. It looked quite painful, despite him already being dead before he collapsed."
"Ah, and he also had many, many other titles. The people of Liyue also refer to him as Morax."
The Archon is...a god. So they have a god here. Seven gods ever, and there was a war between them, which is very typical of gods to do. And that Rex Lapis guy was a human, and a hybrid. He was half dragon and half qilin. Zoro was familiar with those.
But that meant, that since the god died, there was no one to replace him, since there are only six gods now, and each one of them was responsible for a different nation and a different element. That sucks.
The god's death was tragic as well. He was already dead before landing from the sky. Zoro wondered what caused this disaster.
"That's interesting. 'M sorry for the loss", he said. "Did something happen to him before his landing?"
[The man lightly shook his head.] "Do not fret, we're all learning how to get used to it currently and are doing relatively well."
"It is assumed he was killed right before the Rite of Descension, but we are yet to ever know the truth. Still, the people of Liyue have accepted Morax's death by now."
"..Ah, we're here."
[Zhongli nodded to the place they were now in after climbing a few stairs up. Some tables, a small stage.. Not much people, but it somewhat felt comfortable.]
"The Heyu Tea House is one of the three finest tea houses all over Liyue. It's outdoors, letting people enjoy the fresh breeze of the nearby waters while savouring their tea."

Just like Zhongli said, the current weather was really nice at the moment. It'd be nice to walk around the region. He was curious to see the mentioned harbor as well.
"Ok. Let's go", he said.
He didn't know what to do with the hand that was extended towards him, though. They just met. Zoro wasn't the type of person who was into touching people he wasn't close to.
"Zoro.. That is indeed a nice name, fitting for you."
[Zhongli nodded, retracting his arm a few seconds later. Still getting used to being a 'human'.]
"We could start off with the Heyu Tea House, as I came from there when I first saw you. The tea there is magnificent, as well as the occasional performances from lady Yun Jin."
"Thanks", he said. A tea house would sound good at the moment. He wouldn't mind a cup of herbal or black tea right now. But how can people drink tea, and watch performers at the same time? Is it nice to drink tea while someone's performing right in front of you?
"I wouldn't mind. But, how do the performances keep you calm while you're drinking tea?", Zoro asked, knowing that he'd prefer to drink tea in a quiet place, unless the music is calm and the singer is not too loud.
"Lady Yun Jin's performances are a soothing balm to the mind, and the tea just strengthens the effects." [He warmly smiled as they slowly ascended up the stairs.]
"The stage is relatively small, so she has to move in one spot.. But her singing and graceful movement are just enough to catch the audience and pull them into the very story she's telling."
"For many cases, Lady Yun Jin is very talented. She wrote various modern masterworks, one of them being 'The Divine Damsel of Devastation'.. And she moves away from old tales about the adepti to focus more on the domestic human life."
[Ish, quite the talker.. But with his voice and way to 'story tell', it was pretty calming.]
"Sometimes, the performances may be even good enough that I sit still and watch, the tea left untouched. ..Clearly, I've done many fine tea sets a disservice, as drinking them cold would serve them injustice."

Zoro was facing another weird door. There were golden scales on it and on each scale, was a diamond, along with a rhombus that was on the scales. The rhombus was drawn in a unique way, as if there was a hidden meaning behind it.
He didn't let out a single sound, even though the whole thing was annoying and he wanted to kick the door. He knew it'd reappear, though, which meant that he had to enter. The crew celebrated their victory on the tyrant Wapol from Drum Island and welcomed Chopper, their new crew member abroad a few minutes ago.
Zoro thought that a nap wouldn't hurt now, but apparently, the door of the toilet was behind the magical brown door, which meant that he got lost. Again. So he opened the door and stepped into the street.
He saw big and small buildings with unique roofs, stalls with food, jewelry, and antiques, people with colorful Tang suits, hanfus, and qipaos walking across the streets, and a lots of grass. At least the flowers were beautiful.
The fresh air was nice. But it was also mixed with the smells of cooked meat and floral perfumes. What a weird mix.
The scene was quite beautiful, but also very confusing to him. Where was he?

🥔: holy yap. Hope everything I wrote is fine.
[Zhongli was out at the Heyu Tea House, enjoying a usual morning cup of tea.. He paused mid sip once he noticed a door appear in the middle of the street, a man walking out (or in?) and the door later disappearing.]
[That is indeed something you'd not see even in those novels from Inazuma..]
[He observed from above for a while as he finished his tea, humming quietly to himself. Not everyday would an unknown individual step into the world like this, after all.]
[Zhongli thought about his actions, choosing to see what was up.]
[Down the stairs, approaching the green-haired man.]
"Excuse me.. You seem quite lost." [He spoke.] "Would you like any help?"
Zoro turned to look at the direction where the calm voice came from. He was met with a tall man with amber eyes and a long dark brown hair that was a bit lighter at the end and was tied into a low ponytail.
He couldn't say anything to deny the situation he was in. He wasn't in his own world and his clothes were different from the people that passed by him. He wore a simple light blue tee shirt and pink pants, so he had no choice but to tell the seemingly nice stranger the truth.
"Yeah. I am...lost", he whispered. It was an annoying thing to admit.
"Hm.." [He hummed, his voice a low, soothing baritone.] "Well, for the beginning.. You are in Liyue. It is the nation of contracts and prosperity."
[Zhongli faintly smiled, crossing his arms on his chest as he spoke. Posture steady, providing a pillar that could bring support.]
"If you'd like to see Liyue's tourist spots, I have a few references. They are quite the sight to witness, especially for someone who's here for the first time." "That is, if you have the time for that or would simply like to go that route. It's better to acknowledge your surroundings when they're unknown to make sure you are safe."
[The man nodded, although he didn't push Zoro into the decision.]
So the place was called Liyue. What an interesting name. Nami would've liked the place if she was with him. Prosperity and contracts were right up her alley.
He didn't mind going to the tourist spots, as he had nowhere to go to for now. Maybe he'd ask the stranger if there are any motels nearby. But it'd be nice to get to know this place.
"You're right. I'd like to go and visit some sights here", he said, and realized he didn't know the latter's name.
"What's your name by the way? I forgot to ask that".
"You may call me Zhongli." [He replied.] "I apologise, it would've been more polite to introduce myself first before such a talk."
[Zhongli cleared his throat, turning to the side a bit as he extended a hand towards the space infront of them, inviting Zoro to go on a walk, pretty much.]
"The current weather is delightful to have a walk in, especially as the Harbor isn't too lively today."
"It's fine. I'm Zoro", he said. The name of the brunette somehow suited him. It is regal and elegant. Zoro wondered what it meant. He supposed that the of them were busy with the subject of Zoro getting lost. That habit was annoying to him.

I've been quite inactive for a while, I do apologise.
I wanted to take a walk around today, but it seems that I've stranded.. far from home, to put it softly.
Where am I?
..Did I take the 'photo' in the right way?
This place has been quite silent.. The Traveler had mentioned that I would have to.. "re-blog other people's posts", although I am not sure what they had meant..
I sure do have a long way full of learning..
OOC//
} i give up on the thought of using Zhongli's anecdotes to get some more lore and grasp his personality better.
4th time in a row.
sir yun's performances.
giving the fine set of tea a disservice... }
I've been spending most of my time walking around recently, as I still have some days off work.
I've heard about a "popular app", that's name caught my interest. I assume it is as much of a 'social application' as this one? It's title is simple.. Tick Tock? I wonder if it's anything related to time or a clock.
I'll make sure to ask someone later.
'' Ah, you're here. Didn't know the god predating the concept of gods was present... Gonna pretend to be one of your people, I want to hunker down in Mondstadt for the summer because Inazuma is too hot and being a foreign stranger is easier to explain than being myself in the Nation of Freedom when I look suspiciously similar to my perfect and beloved older brother who I dislike. I used to be one of yours anyways, back when I was yet to be made 'human' enough to become an Allogene, Lord of Geo. ''
Ah.. It's you. I think I do remember you.
Mondstadt surely would be a better place to stay in for summer.. The winds are pleasant to the touch and will prevent you from overheating.
Do what you'd like to do. I wish you a safe trip, incase you're still on the way. I'll.. be open to help, if needed.
'' Recommended by one who predates Inazuma itself... It must be refreshing indeed. As for assistance, Mr. 'Zhongli,' I'm quite alright. The less suspicion I draw, the better. It would certainly raise eyebrows for an ordinary Adventurer to travel with a funeral parlor consultant known to 'Venti,' and my name dicates a fate of exercising caution. I'm sure you understand. ''
That is true.. It really would draw attention from people. I do understand, it's alright.
My offer will still stand and the gates will stay open, however. The aid can be provided without direct communication.
Despite, it's been a long time since I've visited Mondstadt myself. My friend would always bring me dandelion wine whenever he gave Liyue a visit. I should pay him a visit someday, too.

"I'm sure they will! ...Actually, I was talking to Hu Tao and she seemed to be on board with the whole concept as well. Well, at least when I told her it would be a great way to advertise Wangsheng Parlor."
ー Meanwhile the Traveler was unsure whether or not funeral services are 'trending' right now.
Ah.. Well, if Hu Tao would insist on some advertisement, I could let her send a message in here to promote Wangsheng Parlor.
I'm sure with her attitude and creativity she'd be able to write something delightful. Enough to let a lot of people get atleast mildly interested.
