TELEPORTING

[ Zhongli is working on his field up in his mountain farm plot for anyone to watch. Despite the cold, he has his sleeves rolled up as he plows sections into order. Leaning against one of the supports of the house, within view, is a spear that pulses a golden glow. Interesting piece, it is, but...

... Zhongli sneezes, disappearing to show up beside you, holding the hoe like an axe. ]

TELEPORTING BUT WITH FISH

[ He's... Ice fishing now on the frozen lake in the mountain area and, unfortunately, with a sneeze he appears before you. The fish that he had caught in his line swings up and threatens to slap you in the face. ]

Ah... At least I didn't lose my catch.

[ What about how this fish almost ATTACKED the other person? Zhongli didn't quite see scene since his eyes were closed ]

HOW MANY OF THESE WILL I MAKE I THINK THEY'RE FUNNY

[ Somewhere, he had sneezed and now he's at the top of one a very, very tall tree.

He has decided he will chill here, I guess. Maybe he's stuck? Who knows. To those that look up at him, he will wave. ]

KISS KISS FALL IN LOVE

[ While it has been sakura blossoms aplenty this day, what shouldn't be is that they're falling inside... The building. Zhongli is at the boutique to find some farmcore clothes.

Upon putting on a straw hat, petals gather on the rim. ]

I'm not sure if this suits me...

[ Seemingly unfazed by the flowers that are cascading inside a building, a cloud of them that float only around him—it isn't a problem. ]

[ He Xuan gives the fish a death glare that would have turned it into a barbecue from how hot it was if not for the fact he doesn't have that kind of power. ]

Your meal dared to attack me. Was that on purpose?

[ He doesn't know who this old man is, but, man. ]

[ The fish is still alive with the glare, wriggling and struggling on the hook. ]

... I don't believe the fish had that intention, no. [ Thinking to himself when did He Xuan get here? ] I'd recommend not standing too close to the line.

[ The fish is threatening He Xuan again by flapping closer. ]

Clearly you know nothing about your food...not sure why you thought it would be a good idea to teleport here after fishing.

[ He Xuan also can't believe a fish is daring to threaten him. ]

...I'll make your life easier for you. Be thankful.

[ He takes a sudden step forward and reaches out quickly, fingers aiming to close around the flapping fish, and squeeze the life out of it once he has a grip on it. ]

... Teleport? [ Zhongli tilts his head before looking at where his fishing hole should be, ah. ] I see. Whatever this is, I am not in control of it.

[ Then his fish. Is dead. Hm. ]

Thank you, though you didn't need to trouble yourself.

[ Fished out of his pocket is a handkerchief, offered to fish blood. ]

The goddess' fault, then.

[ When all else fails, blame their kidnapper, as far as he's concerned. ]

...It was being a bit of a nuisance.

[ He Xuan saying this like it's a normal thing...it's fine. He, uh...let's go of the fish, and then reaches for the handkerchief to, like, wipe his hand or something? Before pulling it back. ]

Edited 2022-12-15 17:58 (UTC)

These are curses from the goddess...? Interesting.

[ He might take it seriously, please. Actually, it's kind of the only thing that makes sense. Does this mean Zhongli gets the handkerchief back? ]

What brings you to the mountains?

[ He says with this dead fish. ]

Exactly.

[ I'm crying...Zhongli taking it seriously just means He Xuan will lean into the idea because he is just a menace. And yes, he does get the handkerchief back! ]

A walk. Was looking for some peace and quiet until your angry fish ruined it.

[ That, which he doesn't understand at all... ]

[ Well! The only other lead is that the universe likes cursing people for existing. In the end, Zhongli doesn't think it's important.

Hm... He looks at his fish. ]

If it would placate you, you can have this catch.

[ Angry looking man. ]

[ ...He Xuan is absolutely not going to turn down food, even if it is like this. ]

Just a little.

[ He'll casually begin to just take the fish off of the hook, or something... ]

[ help... sir.... Well, fresh catches are the best. ]

I don't specialize in seafood dishes, but I can figure something out if you wish to have it now... [ Tilting his head, he's trying to find other ways of apology. ] Or I can at least clean the fish.

[ It is just Bleeding. ]

[ Especially the catch of the day! ]

...You can? [ He pulls his hands back. ] Then go ahead.

If you know how to cook it or something else, that's fine too.

[ ...look, as usual, He Xuan can't exactly help seeing if he might be able to get some more food. If not now, then in the future. ]

Hm... I do still have some beef in the icebox, but fish now would be fresher.

[ He deliberates, but his nose starts to wrinkle. A sneeze comes and Zhongli disappears, further ahead on the ice lake now.

If He Xuan still barely has the fish in his hands, then it can stay with him. In a loud voice: ]

If you saw a farmhouse on your way here, that is mine. Meet me there.

[ Because he's struggling. ]

[ There he go . . .

He Xuan, in the meanwhile, is still standing and holding onto the fish just a bit, so indeed it will now fall completely into his grip. ]

I will. [ ... ] What a strange curse.

[ He will go through the trouble to make his way over to Zhongli's farmhouse... ]

[ He Xuan really could have just left with Zhongli's fish and he'd be okay with that.

Anyway, it takes some time, but Zhongli is there at the farmhouse. Jiaotang, his german shepherd, comes to greet He Xuan first with a polite look and tail wag. The plot is well maintained with some sprouts already sowed. ]

I don't believe I caught your name. [ Opening the door, he lets stranger in. ] My name is Zhongli.

[ Zhongli's mistake is mentioning there was the potential for even more food to be had.

He is not necessarily a dog person but he just briefly looks at it and probably waits like some kind of wraith on the porch or something. ]

He Xuan. [ ... ] You already made a decent amount of progress.

[ He follows in. The comment about progress coming out because he's seen other people struggle or perhaps curse as they attempted to toil their fields. Not that Zhongli couldn't have done either earlier, to be honest. ]

[ They're taking a break from working their farm when they sense something... amiss. Mira looks up to see Zhongli with his hoe raised like that, and--

They let out a yell and throw their barely eaten apple right at his face. ]

[ Zhongli is a MARTIAL GOD and should be able to deflect an apple, but I'm going to roll a dice. With a 15, he unfortunately does well, using the hoe's handle to block in.

The apple ricochets back at them. Will Mira live? ]

[ And the dice says.... damn, it's a nineteen.

Mira lives to see another day! In fact, they manage to snatch the apple right out of the air before it smacks them in the face. Pretty impressive, considering how caught off-guard they are. ]

Uh. [ .... ] Sorry about that.

Don't apologize. I must have startled you.

[ The apple olympics are grand here. Zhongli takes a look around, piecing it together. ]

It seems I am not where I once was.

Just a little bit.

[ They would've felt extremely bad if it'd done any damage... but anyway. ]

How did you end up appearing here like that?

... That is a good question that I do not have an answer to.

[ Stroking his chin, he tilts his head. ]

Perhaps a curse? Not that I've angered the goddess...

[ His dog friend trails up and barks! ]
