[he thought about doing this privately but well...anything he hears he'd just tell Rean anyway, and Ash is old enough to hear this, it's fine.]

Hey Jusis, is Zhongli a god?

[switchaxe]

do what now?

[noblerise]

[Jusis gets this text... and leaves it on read for a solid 10 seconds so he can quietly die on the inside before replying.]

I shudder to think how you came to that conclusion, but I suppose he's not exactly subtle.

Yes, Zhongli is a god. Or he was a god, I should say. A god of stone and contracts. He told me as such in confidence.

[Not that it was hard to guess, but you know.]

[switchaxe]

HE'S A WHAT

[noblerise]

A god, as well as a dragon.

[switchaxe]

somehow him being a dragon makes the most sense out of that what the FUCK

[noblerise]

That's been the general consensus with regards to him being a dragon. It certainly explains many of his spending habits.

[switchaxe]

no shit. but who put that airheaded old man in charge of a religion?!

[fiddlestick]

Do you think you can still be an atheist when you know gods are real? I really want to know.

[switchaxe]

I sure the hell am

[noblerise]

Just because a god is real doesn't mean you have to worship them. I would say it's still atheism, but in respects to not wanting to actively worship a specific deity regardless of them being a tangible presence.

[switchaxe]

agnostic then. atheists don't believe in shit

[fiddlestick]

That works.

[Yeah tonight he's gonna smoke a joint and listen to REM to cope with all this]

[fiddlestick]

Ah. So it is true.

[To actually get it confirmed is...wild. He himself needs to pause a moment to digest it]

Zulius made a joke to him about bending a rule, and Zhongli went on a long rant about the God of Contracts that seemed pointed and suspicious. So...yeah, he's about as subtle as a rock, pun intended.

[noblerise]

Goddamn it.

[Just. Goddamn it, Zhongli!!!!]

Yes, it's a threatening rant that I'm more than passing familiar with, having stepped in it myself once. The people in his country referred to him as Rex Lapis, but he does prefer going by Zhongli. So long as you don't make a contract with him, you'll be fine.

[He's just going to try not mentioning that he's offered to form a contract with this man so he can help get the dumb lizard out of this organization. Try being the operative word in this sentence!]

[fiddlestick]

Believe me, I'd sooner make a deal with the devil before I ask him for a contract. At least Satan probably knows what a saxophone is.

[But it is good to know Zhongli isn't going around killing contract breakers willy-nilly.

Though...Elliot can't help but wonder, considering how Jusis has come upon this information]

Have YOU formed a contract with him?

[noblerise]

I can only agree.

[UGGGHHHH and Elliot asks the question. Jusis rubs his face for a moment.]

No, I have not. However, he has one with The Order. I can't speak too much about it because of how deeply personal it is, but the reasons behind forming such a contract were things I could empathize with. Currently, I'm trying to help him with his situation.

[Hopefully it won't involve Jusis going into a contract with Zhongli, but it might. That being said, he has no intention on ever breaking the terms of their contract, so... it should be fine? Not to mention, he can't get into the details of how he intends to help Zhongli since he's 99.9999% sure he's being monitored on that kind of talk.]

[fiddlestick]

You mean...you're trying break a contract between the God of Contracts, who stones people who breaks contracts, and a super scary organization.

[UH. JUSIS????]

[noblerise]

Yes. It might have been a conversation I had with him once.

[...Ugh...fine, he'll tell the truth of his feelings. Jusis has already told Zhongli under no uncertain terms.]

I have to at least try, Elliot. Not just because of the idea of them having a god under their control is a terrifying prospect. Zhongli is a friend, and I can't stand there and watch him torture himself like this.

He reminds me of Crow. Not in terms of personality, but in terms of situation.

[fiddlestick]

[Gah, hearing that explanation does pull at his heartstrings, especially at the mention of their long lost friend]

You just had to use the Crow card didn't you...

[He's not angry about it. Jusis is one of the few that could get away with it. But he gets it.]

Alright, I understand. Just please be careful okay? I'm sure you're already aware of the risks.

[noblerise]

[Jusis at least doesn't use that card unless it's truth as he perceives it.]

It's the only way I could think of to safely make my point about my feelings.

I promise, I'll be careful. I'll most likely need everyone's help, though.

[switchaxe]

unless you need an angry teenager I dunno if I can help

[fiddlestick]

Hehe, don't count yourself out. Angry teenagers can actually do a lot if they focus their anger on the right place.

And of course I'll help where I can. Though...any legalese will be left to you, Jusis.

[motiv8]

[What a time to be out working late. This sure is a bunch to catch up with once he steps outside... but. Okay.]

Honestly, I wish all of this made less sense than it does.

Regardless - whatever you need, Jusis, you know you have my support. Just don't get yourself pulled into something such that I can't follow you, that's all I ask.

[noblerise]

[He's so sorry, Rean.]

I certainly wish this wasn't the reality of the situation, either.

I'll handle any legalese, of course. That being said, I appreciate the support. I give you my word that I won't go anywhere you can't follow.

[Jusis made that mistake once and almost paid dearly for it back in April. He's not about to make the same foolish mistake twice, especially when this is a pretty huge task he's getting involved in.]
