WHO: Venti and all of y'all!
WHERE: Network
WHEN: Near the end of May
WHAT: There's a new grandpa in town, and he's marginally more well-adjusted than Zhongli! Marginally. This one at least knows how to manage his finances.
WARNINGS: This will be a little cursed most likely, and probably language!

So this is a weird, new app! Since I can't delete this thing, I'm gonna guess that it's not some weird community thing for Kaisou, right? Like a FB group for people to get strongarmed into--I mean join?

Guess it wouldn't hurt too much to intro myself since I'm new here. I'm Venti! I just moved here like. Today. Lovely place, the Spirit Vein up above really sets the mood!

Okay, so here's an icebreaker for you guys, just to have a little bit of fun!

Is cereal a soup? Alternatively, how do you say the word 'pecan?'

And a friendly reminder that bananas are berries, but strawberries aren't berries!

Hehe, well, it's just how Zhongli is, for better or for worse. Honestly, I'm just glad he's at least making friends. He's got that undeniable, "I'm lonely, but I don't know how to say it" aura, you know?

Ohhh, maybe I'll find a slinky black dress to really bring it home! It's been a long time since I've had an excuse to bust out a pair of heels. Not that I minded dressing up in a suit and tie for my other performances, but you know how strict they can be on dress code.

[bebest]

Oh TOTES. He just needs to have people insinuate themselves into his life and force him to accept our friendship. He might fight it a little, but he'll give up eventually.

They can be SO strict. Mine is: do whatever the hell you like. And I am SO jelly. It's a real pain getting heels that fit me now- I've got a whole bunch in my closet that just don't fit me anymore and don't work anymore anyway because I only have SINGLE pairs.

(I was a human and now I'm a centaur: context!)

[venti_late]

You're already speaking his language! And mine, at that. That's how I became friends with him, honestly!

Oh, no! That's really unfortunate! Oh, but, do you think there's a blacksmith who could maybe make heels for centaurs? Noooot that I know of any off the top of my head, granted.

[bebest]

That's how I make like 905 of my friends tbh. It never fails, so why fix what ain't broke, right?

[Or you can just make friends normally, you weirdos.]

It's okay, I figured out how to make it work for me! Plus I'm a zebrataur and you know stripes go with EVERYTHING, so that's amazing. I think we're in the wrong century for blacksmiths. Unless there's like...one in Undertown somewhere? But god I would kill for a nice pair of heels again.

[venti_late]

[Venti does make friends the normal way... buuuuuuut he's also a little shit.]

Exactly! If it works, it works!

Oh, you're so right that stripes go with everything. No other zebrataur could hold a candle to your majesty! I'm not sure if there's a smithy in Undertown, but they do exist as smalltime businesses for repairs, shoeing, and custom blade work elsewhere. I had to search pretty hard to find a good one to repair an antique knife I inherited.

[Zulius can't do anything the normal way. If anyone ever perceived him as "normal" he'd probably pitch a shitfit about it.]

THANK you for saying these completely true and accurate things about me! You know, I might give it a try. I don't want anything actually nailed into my hooves because that sounds like a BAD time. But hey, you don't ask, you don't know, right?

Ooooh a knife, fancy!

[venti_late]

Very true, and a prudent course of action! I'm sure that it'll be a fun challenge for any blacksmith.

[Fun for who? Okay, maybe a blacksmith will enjoy the challenge, but it's also Zulius. This sounds more like fun for Venti.]

Quite! It came from my dad's side of the family. He liked to claim it came from as far back as the 500s CE.

[bebest]

Babe, I like to think I'm a fun challenge for anyone.

[It can be fun for the both of them. But not the blacksmith. Fuck that guy. ]

Oh snap, so it's an OLD ass fancy dagger. You should show it to my friend, Vergil. He loves stuff like that. He'd probably get a kick out of it.

[venti_late]

Queen, just from this conversation, I 100% agree!

[May this anonymous blacksmith rest in fucking pieces.]

Hehe, that sounds like fun! I can at least let him look at it, if he's so passionate for history.

[bebest]

SUPER glad you're reading that loud and clear!

He is! At least weapons. He's got an antique store in the city and everything!

[venti_late]

Oh, I bet my friend and this Vergil character would get along extremely well! If they haven't met already, of course. Thank you for helping me feel so welcome in Kaisou. I look forward to a long and beautiful friendship with you!

[bebest]

There's aaaalllways a chance in a place like this. It's like six degrees of Kevin Bacon in this city, I swear. Likewise! It's gonna be a BLAST, I can tell.
