I only wrote Shadowheart. [ she's not about to throw elysia under the bus, but, uh, yeah ]

But you're right, Claude. It doesn't change the way you were killed... violently. I can't change what happened. I can tell you that we're not truly dead.... er, again.... our souls just need to be healed before we rejoin the other side, but that doesn't take the pain of dying away.

What can I do to help you now?

[midway]

[ NOT THE BIG EYES ]

Is there anything I should know or do? To help us figure out how to get out of here.

[productionhell]

[ the big sad eyes.... she's so sad claude..... be friends with her... ]

Kiraman's the one spearheading that effort. Every other Wednesday we have to do something to give him data so he can break down the barriers between our part of Heaven and their part. I need to stress that we're still very much in Heaven, and no one has lost their chance at redemption.

[ that means you too ]

[midway]

[ He nods slowly. Okay. ]

Do you have the Thursday trips here too? Do the people who attend receive communications?

[productionhell]

We do have the Thursday trips, but the communications I'm not sure about. But I can ask Neverah.

[midway]

That'd be good to know.

[ ... ]

Do you know if we can get weapons here?

[productionhell]

I haven't looked? But probably somewhere. Did you come with a weapon?

Are you worried about being attacked?

[midway]

Well, always. [ who ISN'T constantly worried about being attacked?? ] But mostly, I just want to practice. I've never gone so long without shooting an arrow.

[productionhell]

Well... I doubt Zhongli would want revenge. And I don't think anyone else wants to hurt you. I wouldn't just stand by if I saw it happening. [ if that's any comfort ]

... Actually... there may be somewhere you can do that, as a simulation? I haven't tried it myself, but I can show you, if you want.

[midway]

[ Curious. ]

A simulation... I wouldn't mind seeing that.

[productionhell]

[ claude just ignoring that charlie was like i'll help you, damb ]

Well, then, let's go.

[ to the spiral place i can't remember what it's called im eepy ]

[midway]

[ HE DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO REACT TO THAT....

OFF THEY GO! He seems really curious. ]

So the locations here are a mix of the other side, and different places...

[productionhell]

[ deal with it ]

Exactly. There's a hotel you can pick your own room at, if you want. And markets! There's really a lot to do.

[midway]

It's not that bad here, then.

[ He doesn't seem particularly excited, but that's fine. ]

So what do you do all day?

[productionhell]

It's nice, aside from on Thursdays. We are affected by the weekly things, though.

Well.... I spend a lot of time with other people.... I write letters sometimes, I train, um... I go to the kindergarten with Chaolie.... that sort of thing.

[ wee training area, the spinny rift ] Here it is.

[midway]

[ here they are!! ]

You train? How?

[productionhell]

You just need to step into the ring and a simulation will start. I, ah well, it's new to me, but I can show you if you want?

[midway]

Sure. I'm curious to see what you're like when you're not being sweet.

[productionhell]

Well... I don't think it's going to be very exciting. I don't like fighting.

[ but okay you can watch her beat up fake people ]

[midway]

[ does she become all demon-y ]

[productionhell]

[ she takes a deep breath, and yes.... becomes all demon-y like when pentious died. manifests a trident. random mooks show up and start to swarm her. she....... hits them with her trident instead of stabbing them ]

Sorry!

[ it turns out she's all sweet when fighting too ]

[midway]

[ help... tries not to laugh as he watches this ]

[productionhell]

[ he can laugh. ]

[ one of them nails her in the arm with a knife because she's so busy apologizing ]

Oh, shit..... not again....

[ she is bad at this ]

[midway]

Ah- are you injured?

[ should they stop? ]

[productionhell]

[ there's no visible injury but as per the location it still hurts like she got stabbed so you know. ]

I-It's fine....

[ smacks the simulation guy with her trident ]

S.... Sorry......
