Which is to say, Scaramouche is going to find Uriel at some point! Because he's definitely dipping, but of course he has to go say goodbye to all of the fools he ended up reluctantly attached to. Where is she vibin...]
Uriel is vibing... at the lava rivers!! weird. however, she lifts her head the moment she feels his presence, a hand quickly wiping at her face. just a quick moment to recompose before she faces him. ]
[TRULY WHY DOES HE KEEP FINDING OUT IMPORTANT THINGS BEFORE THE PEOPLE WHO SHOULD HEAR THEM FIRST.
This is so sad though... Not the baby story... Scaramouche glances toward it momentarily before focusing his attention back on Uriel.]
Seems most of us have loose ends to tie up. Unsurprising, I guess, given that death doesn't typically wait for you to finish your to-do lists. [A beat.] Will you be using that app Lu Bixing made?
[ i personally think it's funnier that way. but, y'know, could be worse! could have not found out at all! so, that's something!! "your expectations are on the ground" maybe so
The story continues, albeit mournfully, having been storytelling back to Uriel but stops with Scaramouche's company. It is just (sadly) vibing here now. however, she seems to be held quite well together currently. ]
No, it normally does not. Especially if it happens during one of the said duties. [ a pause, considering. ] More than likely, yes. I am the only one here of my universe, as far as I can tell, so there will no consequences if I close the portal behind me.
[ a tilt of her head. ] What of you? You're returning to your own universe, yes? Will you be using the app?
[HELP THE BAR REALLY IS JUST ON THE FLOOR. REST IN PIECES. DAMN.
She's really doing her best though, and he is also doing his best. They're all just doing their best in this chilis. He'll leave the story to its unfortunate quiet vibing. There's just a quiet little hum, first; his only acknowledgment of the mention of death and duties.]
Might as well, then, if you don't want anyone else following after without your notice. [He'd wanted to all but seal Teyvat off from anyone who'd consider visiting, so he can't blame her for just wanting to shut the door.
As for the question - there's a beat of consideration before he shakes his head.]
Likely not. [Definitely not, considering his options on return.] I have no intention of seeing anyone beyond today.
[ they're both doing their damn best in this lava river's chilis's which is always in a way to crumble and give away but they're deities so it's fine, it's no worry. ]
My original turn is more or less in its post-Scenario state but, with all the world-hopping it could get a bit messy assuming someone follows after...
[ WHAT IF SHE ABANDONS THEM IN A SCENARIO-FILLED TURN. they'd be fucked. ]
Not? You are staying here in Hell then?
[ she does look a bit surprised at that. she had figured he'd just go back, take charge, make people's lives miserable there, canon update to become [REDACTED]'s secretary except she doesn't know that last bit obv. ]
[Yeah even if they fell into the lava it is Uriel's element and Scaramouche is basically indestructible, it's fine!]
Your world has always seemed unnecessarily complex.
[Just stated plainly... All these scenarios and conclusions and things to keep TRACK OF!! But he thinks he can get the gist of it. Also LISTEN...]
--Ah. That was a "no" to my use of the app. [It'd definitely be hilarious if he randomly decided to stay in hell but no, he has to go try to kill god again. And maybe succeed this time! He has all the knowledge he needs to badend genshin now unfortunately.] I'll be returning to Teyvat.
[ uriel's element, LAVA, no but it's true. her fire element ranging from hellfire to the boundless burning sun star. ]
There are a lot of overcomplicating elements to it, but at least less so in my worldline.
[ no, she agrees. but it's a system she's just so used to and familiar with that it isn't all that complex once you get the hang of it. but okay, whew. she had figured he meant the app, BUT SHE HAD TO BE SURE??? she doesn't need more surprises after last night, god damn. ]
Admittedly, I'm a bit curious as to how that story will go. But, whatever happens, I hope you find the end you desire.
[YEAH LAVA SPECIFICALLY. She's a pyro user...... He Has Seen It.
Imagine if he was just like "by the way I'm also planning on disintegrating". ...Well, like. He's not physically planning on it, anyway. Sometimes becoming a true god means erasing your personality and emotions and all that, but that's exactly why he doesn't plan on seeing anyone after leaving, anyway. Less painful for him to think about. Less of a hassle for anyone hoping to find him.
He leans back, weight shifting to the heels of his palms as he looks out across the river.]
I will. [The self-assuredness of this scraggly cat.] ...You said you have some duties to finish too, right?
[ he has, all dem mems. of her wielding flames and fcken burning shit all around her in pure destruction pyro energy.
but damn.... scaramouche starting fresh and said fuck that pain in seeing any of my faves again, i'm moving on. which is valid. but also Uriel would dislike. just as much as she hates Chandra's decision and every bone in her body wants to Fight It. for now, she'll leave it as is.
a hand raises up in front of her, a white-hot flame bursting into life at the center of her palm. a brief crackle of black energy sparking around her hand before it disappears. ]
... I do. Unfortunately, not something you'd find particularly interesting or satisfying. But there's someone I have to save. He's the sole reason my worldline no longer needs to deal with Scenarios. That any of our company was able to come to the conclusion of everything-- it's because of him.
[ love, care, etc. gushy feelings of a deity who owes it to a mortal. ]
It isn't until I've repaid my debt that I will have the opportunity to consider how I will spend the rest of my days after.
ALSO LISTEN. Sometimes all your skrunklies just want to jump overboard into self-obliteration. It happens? It's fine. It's fine! Well, Chandra is definitely not fine.
Uriel is also right in guessing he doesn't find this particularly interesting or satisfying because yugh gross yuck mushy feelings. However--]
...Well. I can understand not wanting to leave your ledger unbalanced, at least. [If nothing else, he understands the transactional relationship of people... (This goes beyond transactional) yes but he refuses to acknowledge the mushy parts.]
I assume that attempting to repay that debt is what got you here the first time. Use what you learned wisely, then. It'd be embarrassing for you to end up right back here after fighting your way out.

Heading out now?

He'll move over regardless, going to perch by the edge of the river. Ah, the sweet river, where he fucking murdered Chandra.]
I will soon, yes. Will you be heading back to your world?
no subject
Uriel offers a nod at that, a familiar story 'Touched by Darkness' sadly humming around her form can be heard and seen as he moves over. ]
I am, I have something important to take care of and protect there. Though, I've been debating if I want to keep the entry open to it behind me.
[ ... ] More likely not. Wouldn't be the most ideal place for a vacation.
