[Abasi is sitting in front of his camera, chin in one hand, and a fancy sword on the couch next to him resting against his thigh.
He's in a black tank top, and there's now a green gem now on his upper chest.]
I'm assuming it's this place that embedded this green gem into my chest. It doesn't seem to do anything except sit there and be a distraction. [He reaches over to poke at it for a moment. He doesn't flinch or anything.]
And...[He holds up the sword fully in front of the camera] this appeared in the bed at some point. I believe it has something to do with my past life, because it seems familiar to me.
...I will admit I don't know how to use a sword such as this. I should find lessons.

[He recognizes your alignment, sir, but he won't comment on it.]
For the moment, it's just present. Feels somewhat akin to what I would figure a healed body piercing feels like.
As for the trinket, I've only in glimpses and dreams of the past.
no subject
If it isn't causing a problem and you don't mind it, then it may be safer to leave it where it is. If that changes, do let someone know.
It's a Dendro Vision, aligned with the power of plants and the energy of creation. Visions are tangible proof of a person's ambition as recognized by the heavens.
no subject
I'll keep that in mind. While it's not causing me any discomfort or pain, it makes me wonder if it's just flat on the skin, or if there's a fully crystal embedded in there. [He's like that sometimes.]
Dendro Vision... "Ambition as recognized by the heavens" Would you be willing to expand on that?
no subject
In Teyvat, when one's dreams and motivations were realized for the first time, exceptional people would receive a Vision. It would appear to them in a very dramatic flourish of elemental energy or it would be found among their belongings a short while later.
Visions were said to be handed down by the gods themselves, though that isn't completely true; they originated from Celestia, which is the seat of the heavens. The Seven Archons, however, dwelt on the surface in order to watch over their people.
no subject
Tell me. What was this "Archon" looking for in giving out their Visions?
Whoops I lost the text html ajksajklf SORRY
[There is more that he can't say, and he remembers not being able to say it either. But he can... say a little.]
Many kinds of people are granted Visions. What defines their ambition, what a Vision's Element means, and what they should do with it... Those are answers that the bearer of the Vision must find for themselves.
I remember what I've heard about the Dendro Archon, however, if you'd like to know more about her.
LOL. You good
I'd like to know what you know. Especially if I have some connection to her.
no subject
The Dendro Archon, Buer, was also known as the God of Wisdom. She was not only charged with guiding the people of Sumeru but also with the safety of Irminsul, which held the memories and the knowledge of all Teyvat. As I recall, she was a kind and gentle god who valued curiosity; she saw it not as the enemy of wisdom, but as its counterpart.
As for why you are connected, I don't know. Perhaps you knew something of her... wrongful captivity in the Akademiya.
no subject
She sounds interesting. Especially that bit about Irminsul.
[You ever just watch the '...' as someone types, then deletes, then types, then deletes? Yeah, sorry Zingles. Give him a minute to realize he doesn't care about being gentle.]
Sorry, some idiots did what to a god?
no subject
Teyvat was a land of gods and monsters once upon a time, and so was this earth.
[Casual lore drop there no big deal.]
Some time before my current memories of that world, the Dendro Archon gave herself to protect Irminsul. As a result she lost most of her power and all of her memories, and returned to a childlike state. The Sages of the Akademiya discovered her in the aftermath, and rather than rejoicing that their god still lived, they cruelly imprisoned her far away from the outside world. I heard that was only able to see the world through dreams. After five hundred years of absence, the people barely recalled her name until a small group freed her.
no subject
Hmmm. Small 'child', white hair, green eyes? Was this Buer in a form such as that?
no subject
That was her. The countenance of a young girl, with the wisdom of a sage.
no subject
...
I think I may have known her.
no subject
Did you meet her while she wandered the city?
no subject
I think I was part of the group that freed her...
no subject
Well, that's nice.]
Then you must have been acquainted with the Traveler. They were also a good friend of mine. Resolute, with strength of heart and sword beyond measure...
Perhaps at the end of the long path, I shall meet them once again.
no subject
They helped, I believe. Strange, those two.
I hope you do.
no subject
[He's a little proud of their meddling.]
They're like a whirlwind, turning everything upside down and allowing room for the new. All in search of their sibling. They helped me in my duties, and saved all of Liyue as well.
If anyone were to come tumbling through a labyrinthine portal, I expect it would be them.
