[ orion feels like he's going to die at any moment actually but this is fine. he takes the brief moment to compose himself internally, glancing briefly at tanhua and then settling into place. ]
About the school, itself? [ he tilts his head, recalling; hua cheng would be correct that orion has done his research, also. he's always been very thorough, hasn't he? ] Like many of these other experiences, it is its own place out of the standard time. One that featured 'students' who had to fix a broken story.
[ hua cheng has gotten used to reading this person without seeing a face; no wonder he had an easy time harassing orion, once he got past the first text conversation. (he's docking your pay for that, by the by.) he eyes him as he composes himself, but then listens, absently moving through the room. ]
One was, to me. At least from this group. Leveilleur. [ his detachment in saying the name is enough to give his opinion. ] An interesting place, in the end. Certainly a far cry from Ghost City.

Perhaps so. [ you're not dead, though, so it's fine. chengzhu will continue to talk like this with you. ] I was working on refrigeration and heated plumbing before I was rudely interrupted.
[ it's not satisfying that he's not inflicting minor harm to orion, but he also doesn't seem to care that much. "what if it's not who you think it is?" no, the dull thunk is enough to further confirm it. ]
Perhaps next I'll install a more updated greenhouse for plants. There's a few people interested in their care, but one of them is often doing quite a bit of work.

Perhaps some things to take from it.

they nod a little, glancing at hua cheng for a moment, and then at their surroundings. ]
Nnn. [ a quiet noise, agreeing. ] Your city could perhaps use the improvements.
[ hua cheng can probably feel the "oh god don't kill me im sorry i have to talk like this" aura now that he knows
orion clears his throat. anyway. ] If there is anywhere specific you'd like to look at, I can take you there.

[ looks at ]
Might keep gege from killing some of them, too.
no subject
Perhaps so.
[ ... there's a little huff at the end, there, that might sound like a laugh, when he brings up gege. but, orion will acquiesce. ] Gege?
no subject
Gege is the most marvelous person in the three realms of Zhongguo.
However, he can be a little impatient about things sometimes, and gets creative with how to speed along a process. It's very cute.
no subject
Creative? How so?
no subject
When cooking, he turns up the heat and adds very interesting ingredients to his dishes. His soups sometimes turn purple.
no subject
[ its almost like
theyve had this conversation before......... ]
no subject
[ we know, hua cheng.
orion knows, hua cheng. ]
Bit of a problem for others, though. Which is endlessly funny.
no subject
They must not be particularly strong of constitution, then.
no subject
actually, for all his enjoyment of this and making orion live through another ghost cityy day, he suddenly seems to realize. ]
Ah, that's what the "con stat" is, isn't it. We were discussing that in this last trial. [ the scapegoat one. ] No one seemed to have an answer.
no subject
...That makes sense, yes.
no subject
Strength, constitution, intelligence, wisdom, dexterity, charisma. Reasonable, I suppose.
[ except all of his stats should be higher than that, god he hates nerfing. ]
