[i saw you say lee rang would be in the bowling alley for someone else so... here we are! nahida is peeking into the bowling alley first and frowning a little at how loud the rave music is, but that doesn't stop her from coming inside.
once she gets further in, though, she sees that someone else is already here! she waves.]
Oh, hello.
[can he even hear her over the music though, that's the question...]
[Rang looks down at Nahida and gets the sort of look where he thinks this is the funniest thing he's seen since waking up here. He raises his hands as if measuring her.]
[she looks pretty down in the dumps, but as soon as she realizes someone else is there she tries to pull herself together.
she shakes her head.]
...no. It was getting late, and Hikari hadn't come back yet, so I messaged him and asked where he was. He'd gone to the McDonald's with Rin, so the rest of us went to go find them... but then we got locked inside.
[he takes a moment to look her over, mostly focusing on her general vibe but also he feels like nahida is very good at suppressing her feelings so he's not sure if he'll find anything? this entire tag is to ask you how she IS BRITT]
[it's FINE rang's suffering because rin left hours ago, which is good because he deserves it. he's sitting at the edge of the canals, wiping at his mouth with the back of his hand like he just ate something gross,
no he's sitting outside ikea, and he looks terrible, but he's no longer actively bleeding from anywhere. HE JUST LOOKS LIKE HE'S IN A MOOD, he is eating frozen yogurt and frowning with every bite. im sorry rang doesn't deserve to have any dignity,]
[me t-posing in here like britt let me godmode something (but also lmk if this isn't okay HELP)
they are in the library....!!! and maybe nahida is trying to reach for a book on a shelf a few inches higher than she can reach which is fine because rang will just
she is indeed trying to reach a book a high shelf and was probably .02 seconds from just trying to climb it like you can climb fckin everything in genshin, but suddenly rang is picking her up! he'll feel sharp surprise, and then a mixture of amusement and fondness as she plucks the book up off the shelf.]
leaving the swoom with her belongings tucked under her arm and walking toward the stairs because she's trying to find a room somewhere on her own where no one will be able to find her i'm sorry]
[THE MEMSHARE PIGS ARE BACK. before nahida can threaten them to stay away or she'll be having bacon for her next meal, they get bumrushed, and a memshare begins!!
it's the whole video but you can skip player-controlled fights - 1:47-3:08, 3:40-4:49, 9:16-12:42, but with nahida as the trial character you can assume she fought alongside them in that last one]
Rang watches the memory, blinking as he recognizes -- well, only one key player in this one who is of course, Nahida. He doesn't know the others. He doesn't know them, and he's not sure what's at stake -- besides it clearly being important, so he watches with interest.
This is a Nahida in her country, her home ground, abilities unfettered, if looping the enemy is any indication. The enemy... Rang feels nothing, though he very unfortunately feels something at the very end, at this broken doll who hates humans so much that he wants to become a god about it. He's familiar with that, after all. He blinks over at Nahida when the memory ends, head tilted as he tries to formulate a question.]
[i saw "shakes hands in leaving" so here they are, somewhere other than the party... nahida is looking for him! when she finds him, she'll call out softly - ]
week 0, saturday ... 1!
once she gets further in, though, she sees that someone else is already here! she waves.]
