Welcome Wagon - 1

[ The arrival had not been what he was expecting but of course for a being such as him getting sick was nothing short of extraordinary in terms of how it managed to happen. It’s because of such happenings that Zhongli can be found with his arms crossed over his chest overlooking the planet below them from the Nova Mobile Sky Station. A perplexing and intriguing beginning, no doubt about that, and having heard the tales told by those GemSci researchers he is merely reflecting upon it. ]

A new god but those ruled by it are even afraid when spoken of…

[ He might murmur to himself as the lord of geo he finds it odd that such a thing would be present. What god would rule its people so that mere mentions would bring a fear upon their faces? His brows knit tighter as another ‘hm’ passes his lips. ]

Welcome Wagon – 2

[ It’s been a few days since arriving here and Zhongli can be found roaming about, often he looks at things he has no idea what they are. Mostly all the scientific and technologically advanced items are beyond even his realm of knowledge, something that the well-learned man does not take kindly to. So in order to pass the time he might ask about a few things within the rec rooms. ]

I beg your pardon, but do you happen to know what this is? [ He motions to a TV set upon the wall, burnished red eyes looking at the thing with some mild intrigue. ]

All that Glitters - 1

[ Distractions are something that Zhongli is easily taken in by. The more otherworldly and stranger this place begins to show itself as the more distracted and intrigued he becomes. He will be wandering about the city and as he goes about the streets stopping at various shops on his long and for the most part expensive detour. Zhongli of course does not have any money with him as per usual but being new here is also a factor in that as well. He has taken a keep interest in a gem cut necklace made of amber and jade and if you should be nearby while he examines it, he definitely makes a motion to show you.

After all, Zhongli is a purveyor of rather expensive things. ] The cut and shade of this amber and jade…it is truly one of a kind, is it not? Much like this place that we have ourselves in. I believe this city and place will have much to offer in terms of priceless and exquisite artifacts.

[ Please someone pull him away before he starts to get into debt before he’s even situated here?! ] And here this cup engraved with gemstones cut in a precise way so as to reflect the sun’s light in just the right amount to make it glow…

[ Please someone stop him!!! ]

All that Glitters – 2

[ So. Finding a home and actually having money is a thing now?? Zhongli finds it more curious and amusing, this is not something he has much experience in. But he will be courteous to whoever’s door he knocks upon, waiting for it to open before he greets them. ]

Good afternoon. Do you have a moment of time to spare? I would like to discuss the option of acquiring a residence, specifically this one, should you have the availability and space to accommodate me. [ He sounds way too professional and stuffy!! But at least he's polite about it?? ]

Wildcard

[ If nothing suits your fancy hit me up on plurk @ pathogenic to hash out an open prompt! Zhongli can be found at local shops and eateries most likely spending all his money on nice things and delicious foods…smfh. ]

[[From here!]]

From what I understand, yes. [She herself was just struggling to remember what it was even like to live in a comparatively normal society, so her reaction wasn't as extreme as someone else's might have at his frankly ridiculous observation. But speaking of ridiculous, she remembers something that was mentioned to her about the currency here.] I'm, uh - eheheh - I'm not so certain a hug is going to cover the cost of something like that either!

[As he goes on to suggest services as payment, LB tilts her head as she compares it to her former living situation and nods in consideration. It did sound weird on paper, but when she herself had been from a private military company and her services were exchanged for, well... someone getting payment of of it (in her defense, her mental was not there to question it at the time).] Perhaps if you were to neutralize an enemy of theirs, it would be suitable payment?

[Because hey, that's how it worked in her world, it seemed perfectly reasonable to her too! However, in the midst of imagining the scenario, she glances over and shrinks a little at the look the manager was staring their way. Lowering her voice, she carefully shifts her gaze back to Zhongli.]

Um - ahaha - I don't think he feels the same way. We should really probably get out of here soon...

Neutralizing one's competition would be a suitable payment as any if one were to try and oust the competition. [ Zhongli is totally oblivious to the shopkeeper's gaze as he mutters to himself, arms crossing over his chest as he thinks upon the ideas that LB suggested. ] But I don't recall if such things were regarded as fair here. Back in Liyue, such trade tactics would be considered uncouth and in some ways illegal. I don't think partaking in such things would be suited for such a venture.

[ But, boy howdy that sure is a look he's getting. Zhongli will finally nod his head, aware of how long he's been here. ] Very well. Should you need someone of my expertise in the future, I would be most agreeable to working with you.

[ Said to the manager with no ounce of uncertainty or awkwardness to be found. Zhongli no... ] But you are correct, miss, perhaps it is time that we take our leave for now.

[ He's gonna make it a mission to get that cup!! Just...not when he's broke and has no outside means of getting money. ]
