[STOP I HATE THIS ID ONT WANT OBE A SHADOW CASHIER]

Right? I heard that secret ingredient used to be cocaine -- that's a drug, one of the really bad ones. Super addictive, which is probably why the company got so rich.

[ohthehumanities]

[IT'S YOUR JOB NOW.

Also genshin is like PG-13 max but there are technically drugs in it so whatever. Kaveh makes a disgusted face.]

Typical. [Fucking rich people]

[foxicide]

[thinks about how funny our cr is now]

At least you don't have to worry about that here. I think.

[ohthehumanities]

[THEY'RE JUST HAVING THIS NICE CONVERSATION AND THEN IN 24 HOURS RANG TRIGGERS KAVEH'S FURY]

I suppose it wouldn't really matter, if we really are dead...

[foxicide]

[THE FACT THAT RANG LASTED THAT LONG IS A MIRACLE]

Right? Though, it'd be kind of awkward if we weren't.

[JUST KIND OF?]

Normally, the afterlife doesn't keep you guessing. You die, and you wake up remembering what happened, you know?

[ohthehumanities]

[STOP HE'S SO FUNNY I LOVE HIM

Kaveh looks a little confused, though, and tilts his head. He's already met Buzen though, so--]

Are you... a spirit of some kind?

[foxicide]

[DONT LOVE HIM HE IS TERRIBLE???]

I'm a gumiho.

[remembers that there's only one other korean in this game and that he's afraid of rang, so he elaborates.]

Nine-tailed fox.

[ohthehumanities]

[He's like Okuni but even more noogie-able

There's no fake Korea in genshin but there is Inazuma, which has fox people!!! Kaveh doesn't know them, obviously, but he's read, like. Inazuma novels and stuff. Yae came to Sumeru?? It's fine, he gets the idea.]

I don't mean to be rude, but I didn't realize spirits could... well, die. [Again??]

[foxicide]

[OKUNI WOULD SNAP RANG IN HALF but ur right]

That's being ignorant, not rude. [THANKS RANG] I don't mean spirits as in ghosts. The spirits of my world are just as alive as humans are, and we're all different from each other.

We're just called spirits because humans like to group everything that's not like them under one word.

[ohthehumanities]

[Hilariously this doesn't even make Kaveh mad because he is a Scholar and capable of acknowledging that he doesn't know anything about this. He just nods, taking this in.]

So it's just a different sort of life form, then--that makes sense. [One of his besties isn't fully human so it's not that big of a deal]

[foxicide]

[ALHAITHAM ISN'T FULLY HUMAN?]

If only everyone thought of it in those exact terms.

[instead people gotta be FANTASY CREATURE RACIST]

[ohthehumanities]

[KAVEH HAS OTHER FRIENDS STOP

He frowns a little, but that sounds like an unpleasant topic, so he'll be nice and not ask.]

What do you make of this situation, then?

[foxicide]

[I FORGOT ABOUTU TIGHNARI

it's good he doesn't ask that way he won't know rang is unhinged until later]

What, you mean being dead and having to play in the Reeaper's game?

[what other situation is there]

[ohthehumanities]

[Help]

Er... yes, that one. I suspect you don't remember how you died, either?

[foxicide]

I don't remember the exact details, no.

But I can pretty much guess what happened, from what I do remember. It's why I think I really am dead.

[ohthehumanities]

[Oh... Kaveh frowns a little.]

...I'm sorry to hear that.

[foxicide]

It's not the end for me yet.

[kaveh later, i'm so sorry that rang died and inflicted us with his presence

So you don't have to be sorry about anything.
