Right... it's not always possible for every person to get along with everyone else.
[nahida, thinking specifically of rang, tbh.]
...how we all interact with each other as time goes on is going to shape how we approach things. And the types of missions we're given, as well as the things we deal with on the weekends... that's going to shape how we interact with each other. There are a lot of variables here.
There's also the fact the reapers have said we can work with other teams on missions to earn points for both sides, but there's no guarantee that's what people will go with. But I kind of wonder if maybe that's what we should do? If the missions aren't the most important part of this game, it doesn't hurt to use them as a chance to work with others to try and make Saturdays easier.
[ and then work together to go after and erase someone else via voting. yeah. ]
That makes sense... personally, I think it'd be good for us to all work together on missions. It will teach us about how we all approach different problems. And on the one hand, it might make people less likely to turn on each other and try to Erase them if they know them well... but on the other, if someone goes and does that anyway, being familiar with how they work may make it easier to connect certain evidence to them later.
The latter is what I think is going to help us a lot. If we know each other well enough, we won't spend hours arguing about if a person would or wouldn't do certain things, or what they're capable of, or what they might have on them.
But yeah. It's also good to see who's like-minded and who can bring new ideas to the table.
Well... you might find some of the lectures boring. But a lot of the scholars there focus more on practical research than on theories... they often go out into the rest of Teyvat and test things out with hands-on practice.
[ well. okay that part actually does sound okay because it's not about actually knowing things. it's about learning things. ]
That's a little different than what I thought. I'm not a lecture kind of guy by any means but...I've always been a little better at learning stuff by doing it myself. So maybe you're not that far off.
Hehe. Sumeru is full of people like that. Of course, there are a lot of people who study theories and hypotheticals too... but... hehe, we're known as a nation of scholars for a reason.
Sounds like a busy nation if nothing else if people are doing all kinds of research. But I think...the research you guys do is a little different than anything I could find in my world. I'm not sure what I would want to try and do.
Not knowing what you want to do right away is also okay. For me, half the fun of learning is trying a bunch of different new things until I find something that sticks.
[she smiles.]
...we're just speaking hypothetically anyway. Even if we get out of this situation, I don't know if you'd be able to come to Sumeru, or if you would just go straight home... but I do think if you came to visit, there would be plenty of interesting things for you to see and try out.
I could see it. You never know unless you try or whatever. So...try everything?
[ shrug. but it's kind of hard not to smile when nahida's smiling, too. ]
I hadn't even thought about the idea of going somewhere else. That kind of thing is pretty impossible where we're from. It sounds like a myth or something. [ it also sounds like a very, very lofty goal that even the reapers couldn't fulfill. ] But at the same time, it does sound kind of nice.
They came to Sumeru looking for their sibling... they'd gotten separated. Umm, a lot of things happened... but I was able to find some information about their sibling in the end. They're heading to Fontaine next, but I hope they come back to visit.
It is kind of impressive. Some people might not even have a lot of friends in the same place they live. It says a lot about what kind of person the Traveler has to be.

Well...based on what you've told me about the Akademiya I'm not sure I'd agree with that? I'm not good at that sort of thing.

Oh. The Traveler? Shenhe mentioned them before, too. Sounds like they've been busy...but if you guys are friends, they'll have to come back sometime.

Come on. Let's see what else we can find that's weird and fascinating.
