Entry tags:
video; un: freelancer
WHO: Zhongli and you
WHERE: The network
WHEN: Second half of March
WHAT: The Black Order's newest member has arrived. The time of judgment has come.
WARNINGS: None yet, but will update as needed.
[video;]
[Unlike certain other boomers on the network, at least Zhongli has had time enough to figure out how to use a phone. He'd prefer to write letters to communicate but that's hardly convenient, and he's on a bit of a time crunch right now.
He's set up in a small room of a local hotel. Not a single hair looks out of place, swept back into a long ponytail as it is; he wears a version of the Black Order uniform that has been given extra panels in the style of a more modern coat and less of a churchy vibe, with a brown scaly print as accents instead of plain white trim. A gold brooch secures his spotless white tie. To top it off, he wears black gloves, which can be seen as he steps back from the camera and folds his arms behind his back.
Something about him seems... odd. Is it the weird ombre hair? The even weirder eyes? Who the fuck knows. They aren't a normal person color, that's for sure—more draconic in nature than anything else.]
Greetings, people of Libra, and other associates. My name is Zhongli. You're likely already familiar with my colleagues who also hail from the Black Order. Much like them, my intent is to aid as much as I am able in addition to carrying out my normal duties. [Whatever the fuck those are. He chews his words like they're peanut butter.]
I can't divulge many details of my mission due to the stipulations imposed in my contract. However, I can say that word of recent events in Kaisou has reached the ears of those in charge, and has not gone unnoticed. As for my colleagues: I will brief you shortly.
As is customary of those staying in the city long-term, I will also be taking a position at the university as a history professor. Take care not to be late if you are on the roster. Those who fail to show up will suffer the consequences.
[He folds his arms.]
Now... if it isn't too much trouble, I have some questions for those who are familiar with the area.
Firstly: where is the best tea sold? Where can I find the most skilled tailor? And finally, what is your favorite restaurant and why?
I think that should suffice for now. I look forward to working with you.

Ah, it wasn't my intent to philosophize.
I know a few things about history. That's all.

[He does a lot of reading. He's had the time.]
I'm currently refreshing myself on the coursework. It's interesting how much things have changed since I last held a position like this.
no subject
Is it that different? When was the last time you were teaching?
no subject
Hm. The technology, to start with. I mainly taught out of books before but it seems almost everything to do with my job is now stored on a screen.

Even stone crumbles before the tide, however. I'll simply have to adapt.
no subject
Possibly a strange question, but...just how long have you been teaching, exactly?

[Isn't it infuriating how he answers the question but doesn't answer the question? Sorry, Waver.]
