[ drops a pin in the park. ]

dont @ me; I'll see you soon.

[ THIS IS SO OMINOUS? IS HE GOING TO FUCKING DIE?

He eventually makes his way there, wing feathers slightly ruffled.

Kitchen knife in hand. Y'know. Normal Hell stuff. ]

[ there's some completely random guy standing in the park staring down the lake in this, his back to venti. he's got fiery red hair... literally! the ends are on fire and sending small embers into the gentle breeze that sweeps by on occasion. ]

Is that really necessary? [ he pivots, lips curving upward in the SLIGHTEST of smiles. BLINKANDYOULLMISSIT. ] And if you did shank me, then not only would I immediately pull your tab, but I would always make you pay double for every drink you take from this day forward.

[ GAWKS ]

Master Diluc?!

[ He points the knife at him, ACCUSINGLY. ]

What do you think you're doing here?!

Re: day 355, sometime... idk

[vintagewhine]

[ he steps over and plucks the knife from his hands. ]

Same as you, I'm sure, trying to get back home. [ he starts inspecting the knife. it's nothing special, but a weapon's a weapon. ] I'm taking this by the way.

Re: day 355, sometime... idk

[outofoffice]

Hey! Get your own.

[ He doesn't try to retrieve it, though. ]

You shouldn't even be here to begin with!

Re: day 355, sometime... idk

[vintagewhine]

It seems like the tables have turned, Barbatos, and I'm the one with no Mo- points, in this case. You've been here longer, no, surely you can spare a simple... [ looks at the knife. ] kitchen knife. [ like, dude, really...!!! ]

I didn't ask for this. I can't even remember how I ended up in the other hell on some show... do you? At least you made it onto the production, proper.

Re: day 355, sometime... idk

[outofoffice]

[ Oh no . . . poor Diluc . . . he's impoverished. ]

I know I was among the Damned for a time, but my memories from then are foggy at best. I'm afraid I can't remember much of anything.

Re: day 355, sometime... idk

[vintagewhine]

I had a feeling. It seems like we're all in the same boat... one full of holes and sinking steadily. [ scoffs. ] At least you won't be headed back there though, ...

Re: day 355, sometime... idk

[outofoffice]

. . . If landing here on a permanent basis was possible even from among the Damned, I'm sure you can manage it as well.

Re: day 355, sometime... idk

[vintagewhine]

I need to make sure the Archon of Mondstadt doesn't continuously drink himself into a stupor, ...especially on sub bar liquor and wine.

Re: day 355, sometime... idk

[outofoffice]

The wine here is pretty disappointing . . . it's nothing compared to yours!

Re: day 355, sometime... idk

[vintagewhine]

Perhaps you're just used to being spoiled. [ his lips lift into the barest of smirks. ] I'm sure this is what most people are left to drink...

Re: day 355, sometime... idk

[outofoffice]

Actually, I think I should blame you for ruining all other spirits for me!

Re: day 355, sometime... idk

[vintagewhine]

...

You're welcome.

[ said like an asshole. ]

Re: day 355, sometime... idk

[outofoffice]

[ Huffs dramatically! ]

Anyway, I can't help you much in the financial department. I just got here, so I'm broke.

Re: day 355, sometime... idk

[vintagewhine]

I'm sure that, in my brief stay, I'll somehow accrue more money than you. I already have three of my abilities, bard. [ though he didn't have to buy them, but that's not something venti needs to know right now. ]

Re: day 355, sometime... idk

[outofoffice]

[ bruh ]

I see your time in Hell has made you especially savage, Master Diluc.

Re: day 355, sometime... idk

[vintagewhine]

Tell me I'm wrong.

[ and then a few moments of awkward silence and... ]

It is good to see you though. You're looking far less maimed than I would have imagined being on this show. I've heard things.

Re: day 355, sometime... idk

[outofoffice]

I'm sturdier than I look, believe it or not.

Truthfully, though, I can't say I'm glad too -- I might've rested much easier knowing everyone was safe at home.

Re: day 355, sometime... idk

[vintagewhine]

I should hope so... [ being an archon and all. ]

And you should have been there too. Here is not where you belong.

Re: day 355, sometime... idk

[outofoffice]

I think Mondstadt might actually manage better without me than without you, Master Diluc~

Re: day 355, sometime... idk

[vintagewhine]

And just how would we have dealt with Dvalin without you, Barbatos? You were an essential part of that.

Re: day 355, sometime... idk

[outofoffice]

"Barbatos," now? How formal, Master Diluc~

Re: day 355, sometime... idk

[vintagewhine]

Don't change the subject. It's true and you know it.
