( Yeah, every day she begins to realise that her world is incredibly, incredibly dull. )

as long as people believe in it, you can sell it

( Otherwise there wouldn't be whole shops dedicated to selling things like crystals and good luck charms back home. There's probably still exorcists back home, and spirits are almost certainly bullshit there, right? )

[rainswords]

Certainly. There are likely to be plenty of false practitioners too. Even in different fields, there is a chance to find those who attempt to swindle people out of their hard-earned mora. It's not unheard of. Actually, there is one market that I am surprised hasn't led to unpleasantries. Or perhaps word hasn't reached my ear.

[ Sure, he is aware. He knows there are those who sell falsehoods to others who willingly empty their pockets for a sense of serenity. Even if brief. But spirits, curses, exorcists, and more he wholeheartedly believes in because well they're real in Teyvat. ]

[bratherine]

( Swindlers, like (apparently) birthday celebrations, are probably a constant in any universe, aren't they? )

what market's that?

[rainswords]

[ Swindlers gotta swindle. ]

Well, maybe calling it a market is a bit much given the rarity of the commodity? There is no extensive market... but visions tend to bring in a large profit. Or at least that's what I've heard.

[bratherine]

visions?

( are people running around ganking eyes out in your world, son? )

[rainswords]

Yes. You see their scarcity comes from the fact that few people are granted visions. From what I know they only become dormant when their user passes on. So naturally, people would seek a vision with no master.

[ ...that explanation probably doesn't help and likely only serves to fuel her assumptions. ]

[bratherine]

( ... is she being dense or; )

we talking vision like
the ability to see shit

( it doesn't SOUND that way but also. would that be the weirdest thing here? )

[rainswords]

[ Uh. What? No. That's not...

Hm. Right. Visions seem to be something that are inherent to Teyvat. ]

The gods are fickle about who they grant visions to.

[ That's not helpful at all!

And he knows it. ]

[bratherine]

( Xingqiu, why are you only brief when you need to be anything but? )

... taking that as a no

( At least, she hopes so. That just seems like a bitch of an earth. )

[rainswords]

[ Because it's funny. To him. ]

This screen. Everything on it is suddenly so blurry. I think I have to go. So talk gto you ksater.

sdoeey

[bratherine]

( She does not regret trying to rob you now, Xingqiu. )

[rainswords]

[ Trying to rob him blind?

Well, maybe she doesn't regret it now but maybe she will one day. Perhaps, she can start a victims club with Chongyun. ]
