[ As expected, John the Emperor's reference goes completely over Zhongli's head. What kind of notes did a cliff have, and why did John the Archivist glare at him for it? Furthermore, why were the bite marks of importance? This was all very strange. Very strange indeed. But if John seemed to be content with just the one bone, then who was he to argue with a specialist? It seemed most prudent to Zhongli to gather what information he could from these exchanges and think about it in more depth later when they were not trapped in a maze of potential monsters.

So further down the hallway they continue, though Zhongli does try to answer John the Archivist's question the best he can. ]

Ah, so neither of you were at the masquerade?

[ Zhongli wasn't making much effort to identify people so it's not like he would know. ]

There was a particular kind of party game played there. People who signed up were given a fragment - something crystal-like. Perhaps shard is the incorrect word to use as that has a certain meaning here in Kenos. Regardless, once you found the owner of the fragment, it began to glow. It took a while for my partner and I to figure out exactly what to do after that, but after some exchanges we were able to see in exquisite detail a location from our respective worlds. I cannot say if it was truly housed in that fragment or simply a lens that allowed us to see beyond, but I still carry that fragment on my own world on my person for safekeeping.
