so here sqx is, plopped in a beanbag chair with a bowl of tasty-looking noodles in her lap, alternating between eating them and sipping at some rice wine (which she's totally "borrowed" a jug of from the bar) in a cup. when she sees childe enter, she nods toward him.]
I do! Three older, three younger. [cue me furiously checking the wiki to make sure they haven't multiplied via translation debate AGAIN] They're wonderful, but quite... energetic.
It is! [He'd drink to that, but he has no booze, alas. Probably for the best, before she discovers a 99.9% alcohol beverage in there.] I'd like to go visit them, after we leave this place. They'd love to hear about this technology.
[Whenever. That will be. Since they're apparently stuck here for the foreseeable future.]
Oh, that one is really fun! I wonder how it works - I was expecting some kind of magic, but from the other machines around here, I suppose it's actually some sort of technology...?
Yes, all of this seems quite advanced in my eyes. [And yet it's somehow still falling apart in places... FIX YOUR VEGETABLES, AVATARS, YA NASTY.] I'd say enjoying it would be an indulgence all on its own, but it seems many of our number are familiar enough with what's here, so I'm not sure it's what our hosts had in mind.
[IT WOULD HELP IF I HIT SEND. WHEEZES. I'M SORRY PIXI.
anyway!! where's childe hanging out? we're going to say this is at some point before party games, because shi qingxuan will know just how gone her alcohol tolerance is after that. anyway, she's checking out the (spins wheel) circus, but she's brought along a bottle of alcohol that she's drinking from as she investigates.]
[BEFORE PARTY GAMES IS FINE. What has Childe been up to, who even knows. Sulking about his lost fighting skills? Exploring? A MYSTERY.
Right now he's exploring, though--he lifts a hand in a little wave!]
Oh, hello! Yes, I did. [Don't ask me if they have circuses in Genshin I don't know. THEY PROBABLY DO but whether they look like this or not will be a mystery for years.] It's definitely an interesting selection of rooms they've prepared for us.
