Many gods among men in your home, hm?

[ hydro is an interesting way to put it. ]

It sounds like your elements are classified a certain way.

[bindings]

It depends on where you are, but yes. [re: gods among men. as for the rest:] There are of course regular elements. But those with Visions refer to them differently when they wield them.

[diluvian]

Visions?

[ she waves her big penguin hoodie sleeve, a please go on and explain gesture. ]

[bindings]

A gift from the gods.

[she says, with a hint of amusement to it. she pulls her hair over her shoulder to show her the jewel affixed to her hair.]

[diluvian]

So your magic comes from your gods?

[ she leans over to take a closer look. visions are pretty. ]

I hope they're not the kind to also take them away at will.

[bindings]

[she allows it! it isn't working right now, so she doesn't mind if people get close.]

It's happened before. Not in Liyue, as far as I know, but I've heard those in the mortal world talk about Inazuma's Vision Hunt Decree.

[diluvian]

Vision Hunt? Like a witch hunt?

[ lambda doesn't like the sound of that, and she doesn't hide it. ]

[bindings]

Yes. I don't know much about it, but what I do know is that the Archon, in her pursuit of eternity, decided that all of the citizens who possessed Visions were to give them up voluntarily, or by force.

[shenhe also isn't a huge fan, though she doesn't sound like she's distressed by it.]

[diluvian]

People can rule how they like, but that sounds like salt air rusted her brain. People not having elemental abilities doesn't perpetuate anything.

[ people still die with or without powers, and people can still kill with or without powers.

even without being granted psychs, lambda thinks people will still kill. ]

[bindings]

I think you are right. I'm no Archon, so perhaps she sees something I don't, but... hm. Well.

[she tucks her hair behind her ear.] I would not give mine up.

[diluvian]

Everyone has their own story, but you don't have to listen to every one.

[ but those are fighting words. ]

Would you fight your Archon for it?

[bindings]

I don't think the Archon of Liyue would ask me to give mine up.

But should the Archon of Inazuma come to me? I would. Fate takes what it will, but I would not just roll over.

[diluvian]

That's the right attitude to have. The universe will never stop taking, and there's no reason not to keep what you have or to take back even more.

[ if the world is terrible, be terrible back. ]

[bindings]

[a little notification in the corner of the screen pops up and says shenhe will remember this -

no, but she does nod.]

... I do try to not take too much. There's a balance to things. But you're right.

[diluvian]

[ help don't learn life lessons from lambda

there's a brief thoughtful silence. ]

There is a balance to things, but some balances need to be tipped so you can move forward.
