My Self-Summary

I am nothing more than a humble literature enthusiast who has now become another guest of this resort. While I lack any exceptional skills or noteworthy talents, I am nevertheless willing to assist anyone in need. Additionally, I would like to request some book recommendations. That's all I am using this thing for.

My Future Plans

I've elected to attempt to read as many normal books found in Swan Lake (if they catch my interest). Otherwise, I'll plan to make visits to The Conservatory. Admittedly I found the giant rabbits to be rather charming.

My Talents

I have no noteworthy talents.

Favorite Books, Movies, Music, and Food

Mr. Nine is a highly acclaimed and popular author, many years were spent searching for the last volume of Legend of the Shattered Halberd. It did not disappoint. I would rank that novel among my favorites. The truth is I enjoy all types of martial arts novels. As for music, I favor Ms. Yun performances and her talents extend beyond song.

When it comes to food I prefer pastries and Yue-style cuisine. During my stay in Inazuma, I also came to enjoy the foods that nation had to offer. Mild seafood-based dishes with minimal seasoning and lighter flavors are definitely to my liking.

My Ideal Partner

Perhaps I will be fortuitous enough to cross paths with a sentient book; then the book and I can go on all sorts of adventures and get into all kinds of hijinks.

[nullificates]

i came for the books and now i want to guess on the drinks!

[rainswords]

Allow me to thank you in advance for the recommendations you plan to make, I'll be waiting with bated breath. As for any guesses on the drinks, you're welcome to make them.

[nullificates]

why don't we go on a hunt for the best book of the week?

ah, i'll suppose--no!

[rainswords]

That may be a difficult task given the favored genre in the library; still I am up for the challenge so I can't say no to your suggestion. But tell me, Mr. Osamudazai, what books do you like?

Is that your answer? Or have you decided not to take a guess?

[nullificates]

it's osamu dazai! you can just call me dazai, mister xingqiu!

well, something has got to be interesting!!!

and it's my guess! no alcohol!

[rainswords]

Isn't it best not to make assumptions? However, I do thank you for the clarification. Mr. Dazai it is. So you like books with interesting topics then? Or interesting stories? I have found one I am enjoying but it was a long and arduous search for something suitable to my tastes.

As for your guess, it's that simple. Although calling it social drinking isn't exactly the term I would use.

[nullificates]

or, instead of assumptions, you may think of it like this - it's a hypothesis, and we must prove it or refute it. doesn't that bring out a much more interesting topic?

i'd say i like guides more than stories! what are your tastes, what is it you found?

ah, is it a... once in never?!

[morarchon]

Xingqui. I wasn't expecting to see you here.

[rainswords]

[ The best thing Mr. Zhongli could have done when attempting to contact him was the direct route otherwise Xingqiu isn't sure if he would have felt inclined to answer any messages from anyone called professional sugar baby; it's a questionable name for someone as cultured and sophisticated as the gentleman speaking to him now. Making this all seem suspicious. Had he selected that name for himself? There was a random option... He decides not to dwell on the name as nothing would come from it.

Time to ignore the bizarre name! ]

That surprise should be reserved for me. How unexpected. Why if you're here then perhaps just about anyone might find themselves in our midst. Do you suppose even the mighty Conqueror of Demons could be drawn in by this resort?

[morarchon]

[ The less that's said about his display name, the better. Zhongli has tried so hard to change it... ]

Indeed. I've met several other individuals from Teyvat already—Dr. Baizhu, for example.

[ And Childe, and Furina, but sharing that both a Fatui Harbinger and a retired Archon are present in the hotel is, perhaps, admitting too readily to the sorts of connections Zhongli has.

Xiao, though... at the prospect of him being here, Zhongli's kneejerk reaction is, For his sake, I hope not. Out loud, he goes for something with a bit more tact. ]

It's possible, but I don't think he'd respond well to being removed from his duty. Hopefully, the staff has the discretion to not disturb him.

[rainswords]

[ While he suspects that the name may not be Mr. Zhongli's choice, he thinks it best not to ask and put forth that topic, instead, he silently thanks the incessant chime from the band on his wrist that prompted him to make his selection. ]

Yes, I've heard that doctor is here at the resort from a [ The pause is brief but notable — given Senku's attitude towards his age he'll opt to respect his perspective on the matter. ] young man. I'll take time to convene with him when given an opportunity.

[ Another pause follows, a silence which he hopes Mr. Zhongli would fill with the identities of the others hailing from Teyvat, of course, he doesn't expect it would be that easy. If Hu Tao herself, as the man's close associate and boss is still trying to dig out secrets he would have to be patient with his efforts while taking care to remain on polite terms with this gentleman. ]

It's unlikely that's the case, although there is no comparison. That I'm aware of anyway.

[morarchon]

[ Well, that certainly is a noticeable pause. Zhongli silently puts a mental asterisk next to that description, then moves on.

Indeed, he doesn't elaborate further than he already has on the other people from Teyvat. Maybe another time, or with more time passed since meeting them. As for comparisons to Xiao's displeasure... ]

I don't imagine any of the Adepti being pleased by the situation, though I agree he seems that he might be the most upset.

[ Zhongli is handling about as well the most steady of them would, he thinks, though there are some others he can imagine being delighted by the change. ]

The Qixing's secretary, Ganyu—I imagine she'd be rather unhappy as well, if much more reserved.

[rainswords]

[ It's indisputable that Liyue has produced plenty of willful individuals who would dispute becoming guests at the resort and would do little to hide their displeasure. Given the direction their conversation has taken, he can't help but recall Miss Shenhe and the menacing look in her eyes. Perhaps — as blasphemous as it may be to consider — even Adeptus Xiao is better suited to life at this resort compared to some people.

However, what he meant is he hasn't crossed paths with anyone expressing extreme displeasure, indignation, or on par with an Adeptus here at the resort; it's all been muted reluctance. Admittedly it's much the same for him as he diverts his focus to his preferred hobbies. ]

Perhaps not the most upset among the people of Liyue, the truth is not many people would be content finding themselves here. Isn't it the same for you and me? Even if it's just a matter of acclimating to the situation as well as having a higher level of tolerance.

[ Just how high a level? He doesn't find himself inclined to indulge as some people have, although it's becoming evident that it's not completely avoidable. He'll make the best of the resources he has... ]

[Open Season] un:senku

[senku]

Want to put all that time in the library to good use?

[rainswords]

Here I was in the mind that focusing on literature was putting my time in the library to good use. But I'll hear you out.

[senku]

Don't worry, I won't try to stop you from finding out if the butler did it.

I want to find everything I can about this resort, but you've seen firsthand how many books are in the library. I need some research partners to help me sift through it all.

[rainswords]

While it seems you may have guessed that I have a book in hand, I'll have to deliver the unfortunate news that there is a lack of butlers in it.

Never mind what I am reading, I might have something that would be of interest to you. Meet me at night at Swan Lake, I'll show you then.

[senku]

Now we're talking. I'll be there.

[It crosses his mind that he should possibly be wary of an invitation to meet at night but the profile and pictures say neither "excessively violent" nor "excessively horny."]

By the way, this Inazuma from your favorite foods - could it be the same Inazuma a guy named Baizhu mentioned to me?

[rainswords]

[ The message came immediately indicating no hesitation; it seems the thirst for knowledge supersedes caution. So it's been decided, they will be meeting soon. ]

Dr. Baizhu is here? I don't know if this is fortunate or unfortunate for me. The perfect opportunity wasted. By the way, I took the liberty to attempt to glean some information about you, and given your age, should I call you Mr. Senku?

[demawn]

How's the search for normal books going?
I haven't tried the library yet.

[rainswords]

Typically I would recommend that most people visit the library, these are abnormal circumstances, and therefore I found a sea of abnormal novels. Was it really necessary for there to be a Special Anniversary Edition of The Wandering Human, Chronicles of Xander Wolf Pack Book Four? But to answer your question, I've at least come across one book from the genre I favor.

[demawn]

I'm guessing it's one of the quieter places here? That would be nice. I feel like it's loud everywhere.

Haven't heard of either of those but I could use something to do. I'm not exactly a fan of ... almost everything here. The rabbits were okay.

[rainswords]

There is a large number of guests here, some of us have recently settled in. I take it it is the same for you. Of course, that doesn't explain away the noise level, rather it's the nature of this place. It is a resort, and people are having fun.

If you do wish to seek solace in silence then come to the library, but I'll warn you now about any nighttime visits. There is something off about Swan Lake at night. However, I do mirror your sentiment especially given what this place caters to. But yes, the rabbits are okay.

I do have a suggestion, how about if I pass along any books I believe may be worthwhile reading to you?

[demawn]

… Yeah, I haven’t been here all that long. I’m not used to places like this. The fun here isn’t the kind I like.

What’s wrong with it at night? You must have seen something to say that.

Yeah, if you’re okay with that. I’m Genya.

[rainswords]

A shared experience and a shared sentiment. It's not entirely avoidable, even in places where one should find solace and serenity. If you visit the library at night it will be easier to understand what I mean. What I have seen some people may view as a coincidence, but it doesn't feel that way to me.

Pleased to make your acquaintance, my name is Xingqiu. As for the books, it would be no trouble at all, I would be happy to assist anyone who wants to enjoy a good book.
