[ BEACH EPISODE! jing yuan is also fully dressed albeit in casual clothes.

he notices saber studying the innertube. ]


I believe it is a flotation device. Would you like to try it?

[ just casually... takes them out to sea... ]

[ WE'RE SO BACK!! they can be in the hotel lobby or wherever might have a reflective surface. i've had a memshare in a water trough at the petting zoo before, truly anything is possible...

anyway, he will at least give saber a polite greeting, before a memory interrupts them. ]

...Something from a distant past. A grave mistake.

It's all right. It isn't much of a private memory anymore, and by no fault of yours.

I do not mind speaking of it, if there was anything you wished to know.

Ah, this took place over 700 years ago, so it was long before Jiaoqiu's time.

[ that's what the wiki says but hsr timeline is a MESS. also me like i really should've indicated jing yuan as 800+ years old in his profile, IT IS FINE... THAT IS TECHNICALLY STILL 700+... ]

However, we are a long-lived species. You may have heard of Jingliu, who once defeated the enemy of the Foxians.

[ me unsure if it was comprehensible so sparknotes attempt: ]

It was part of an earlier war—or rather what you saw occurred in the aftermath of it. Our dear friend, Baiheng, had sacrificed herself to secure us victory.

My other friends had tried, and failed to resurrect her using the power of the Ambrosial Arbor.

...Jingliu did succeed in slaying the monster that was created from her best friend's remains.

[ they were lesbians, harold ]

[ he nods as well. ]

...Even with our generous lifespans, it seems we cannot escape the grief of death.

I hope you will not judge my friend too harshly for his actions. [ He was severely punished for them, besides. ]

[ this week has been so much...

he doesn't understand fate/ mechanics, but he does pick up some context clues. some sort of dark ritual involved, to grant an all-powerful wish. the requirement of saber's soul. an 'artificial life'. ]


...What was the outcome of that battle? Or were you able to prevent it?

[personal profile] lightning 2025-03-30 08:43 pm (UTC)(link)
[ he smiles faintly, studying their expression. ]

That you are.

...What happened with the rest of the ritual? Was it the reason for you being here?

[personal profile] lightning 2025-03-30 09:36 pm (UTC)(link)
And then what happened...? Your companion [ Iori ] had said there was no place for the 'Waxing Moon' in a moral world.

[ his expression softens. ]

...So you were summoned for the purpose of this battle, but your original self had passed long ago, if I'm understanding correctly?
