◣ CLOSED ◢

[lapideity]

WHO: Zhongli and Vidar
WHAT: Zhongli and Vidar team up to get something beneficial done, and return to the shipwreck in order to get their hands on one of the seed vaults.
WHEN: Backdated to sometime during the third week of July
WHERE: The Adamant, natch.
NOTES/WARNINGS: TBA later when/if they come up.


[all throughout their meeting before entering the ship, zhongli has to work hard to his eyes away from vidar's massive machine, head full of questions, wanting to ask-- what is it? how is it controlled? what is its purpose?-- but knowing they're not important. the details and the knowledge are not important to this mission, and thus he manages to keeps his curiosity down. what he can do later, he can do later, after all, so what reason is there to rush?

right as they enter the adamant however, zhongli is reminded of how dark it is, and pats his pockets to look for a specific item in them to help with visibility.]

This is a flashlight, is it not? [zhongli shakes the device in his hand, feeling it up and down to look for the raised part large enough for a finger's push. that's how he remembers it being used during demonstration, at least.] If not... ah, well, it's too late to go back now, but I'll have to defer to your methods, and for you to guide me should we find any trouble.

[alas, he still cant summon his cube. it would have been a good, hands-free source of light in this dark, dark ship.]

Comments

[humming softly in acknowledgement, zhongli clambers easily over the rubble and ambles into the room, peering into its every corner before ambling back to vidar and his machine, as calm as you please.]

Nothing inside, except for some rubble. Perhaps whatever was in here was taken away long ago.

[spalten]

That's too bad.

[ they'll try another room, then. this time vidar recalls parts of it that he'd gone to, a long time ago with cal, and takes another route down the side of the massive ship. they cross a rather rickey bridge, and he takes the time to make it sturdy by welding a few pieces of metal to secure it in place. easy enough.

another room is opened and the door carefully set aside, this one seemingly full of wires hanging overhead. ]

Watch your step.

[lapideity]

[zhongli wont deny that there's something thrilling about being here, in the unknown, without his full senses or all of the powers he's accumulated in his life-- as either morax or zhongli, even. this is something new to him, and something new is rare to someone so old.]

No worries. [he gives vidar a nod, even if he's unsure about whether or not the man can see it from here.]

If something happens, I'll be able to protect myself. I believe I have some of my powers back, now.

[then he hops into the room, ducking underneath the wires. it's like being in a jungle again!]

[spalten]

Yes, but we're also trapped in such close quarters.

[ and then he does a strange thing: he makes the gundam essentially lie down and peek into the door. if it were a child-sized robot it would be even more comical. ]

How's the light?

[lapideity]

Is close quarters combat not why I'm here? [perhaps having a spear is not the best weapon for it, but this is indeed zhongli's preferred arm. still, he has many tricks up his sleeves.

then he turns, a smile lighting up his face when he sees the vision just beyond the door.]

It's fine, my friend. You don't need to worry. [and he walks up to vidar and his machine, and gives it a pat on the face.]
