That was mine, though from what I heard, it was much the same for what Uriel and Chandra experienced. Things that didn't match up with the way they actually happened. People in the wrong places. Things happening in the wrong order.
Chandra mentioned it. That they visited the heart of it and had a conversation? [CHANDRA DIDN'T MENTION THE BOOK so he's just like:] Whatever they encountered, it sounds nothing like the real Irminsul.
[do you think about how scary it is that scara had a connection with irminsul while in his worst phase. i think about it a lot.]
[IT'S TRULY SO SCARY HELP. Meanwhile there's Childe, who is the Jorts of the Fatui yet who mentioned something about "fighting between the great tree roots" grabs him by the scruff of the neck WHAT DOES THIS MEAN YOU STUPID GINGER
More or less. It's more complex than that, but I could hardly ever see it reaching out in the form of asking any question at all, let alone inane ones.
[Chandra's idea of what an inane question is might be a little harsher than most people's but he thinks they're probably measuring things on the same spectrum, so.]
[His shoulders rise a little into a lazy, sloping half-shrug.]
I would assume so, though I have no idea why it was behaving strangely. Then again, I guess that fits in with a few of the other oddities that appeared...
[Why did any of this happen at all though THAT'S WHAT HE WANTS TO KNOW.]
[HE WOULD LIKE TO KNOW THIS AS WELL. He rubs his face, tired.]
Maybe it'll make more sense if we find out what it asked. But Lavi made it sound like it--whatever it was that did this--went after him pretty aggressively, so it might've been more about them than us...?
[He truly doesn't know?? He has no idea what Irminsul has to do with this shit, save for the fact that memories were involved.]
[Truly he's just looking at what he's pieced together so far of these events and squinting at it all. None of this makes sense but sure!! Why not. Hell can just make a cyoa out of the patchwork of their memories and experiences and have it make no real sense.]
We might have been the "stage", so to say... I'd ask why us, but I'm sure it's just as arbitrary as why those four were the ones who ended up there. At least it shouldn't happen again after the party.
Shouldn't is the key word, I think. It happened to the demons, after all.
[Even if it was an accident... they're not totally safe. Ugh.]
I'm gonna go talk to Chandra--see if he'll tell me what kind of questions Irminsul asked. I'm not sure it'll help make any sense out of all this, but I do want to know.
That might have just been his proximity with us as new arrivals, at least. [Don't work with newbies and all your problems are solved... But he just nods at that.]
Alright. I don't know that I'll speak to any of the others, to be honest.
[LOOK IF HE KNEW HE WOULD EXPLAIN BETTER BUT HE CANNOT.]
She probably will be. [JUST. HONESTLY. He hasn't even pissed off Four personally he has just seen her in action...] But it'll probably be directed more toward me than you, if she was sent off to Liyue.
[But then again Four is a pretty equal opportunity rage murderer the way Scaramouche is, so he wouldn't blame Scaramouche for not wanting to bother with it.]
[Yeah he already doesn't like Four, he doesn't want to deal with her when she's in a BAD MOOD for things that are totally outside of their control.]
Good. [THAT'S ALL HE SAYS ABOUT THAT THOUGH HELP. He really just said be thrown under the bus then, fool.] You can deal with it, since they're likely handling things from your life and memories.

HELP THOUGH. Scaramouche just scoffs.]

[Very annoying, he Does Not Like It.]
...Did Lavi mention Irminsul at all?
no subject
Childe looks a little surprised to hear the question, and shakes his head.]
No, though he was pretty shaken up, so we only talked a little about what happened. Why?
no subject
Chandra mentioned it. That they visited the heart of it and had a conversation? [CHANDRA DIDN'T MENTION THE BOOK so he's just like:] Whatever they encountered, it sounds nothing like the real Irminsul.
[do you think about how scary it is that scara had a connection with irminsul while in his worst phase. i think about it a lot.]
no subject
anyway he puts a hand to his mouth in thought.]
What did it say?
no subject
It asked "inane questions", apparently.
[Of course Chandra's stupid ass didn't go into much detail.]
no subject
Inane questions? [LIKE WHAT. HELP.] It doesn't normally ask questions at all, does it? It's just a record... [RIGHT? ??????]
no subject
More or less. It's more complex than that, but I could hardly ever see it reaching out in the form of asking any question at all, let alone inane ones.
[Chandra's idea of what an inane question is might be a little harsher than most people's but he thinks they're probably measuring things on the same spectrum, so.]
no subject
It must've been drawn from our memories, then, like the rest... probably yours more than mine, right? I never spent much time dealing with that stuff.
[He just got shipped off to fight things like 90% of the time because that was what he wanted...]
no subject
I would assume so, though I have no idea why it was behaving strangely. Then again, I guess that fits in with a few of the other oddities that appeared...
[Why did any of this happen at all though THAT'S WHAT HE WANTS TO KNOW.]
What a nuisance.

[He doesn't want to be HECKLED.]
no subject
Four might be your best bet, if you change your mind. She seems... [HOW DOES ONE DESCRIBE FOUR'S STATE. UH. HM.] ...very calm.
no subject
He just gives Childe a bit of a look at that. WHAT DOES THAT MEAN???]
...I'll keep that in mind. But her being calm now might just mean that she'll be a worse headache later.
no subject
She probably will be. [JUST. HONESTLY. He hasn't even pissed off Four personally he has just seen her in action...] But it'll probably be directed more toward me than you, if she was sent off to Liyue.

Alright. I'll let you know if I learn anything useful.
no subject
[He's going to try to kill Lavi, is what he means, but this is fine.]
no subject
[yeah it's fine Lavi likes it]
