what does freedom really mean, when demanded of you by a god?

tinder account logins, is one to change one's password

well, the fishing trip didn't go well. venti's heart is shattered into like 69 pieces. nothing can ever go well for the anemo archon, can it?

when venti's tinder got a notification.. his heart jumped but it was just another of those tinder login notifications. god? who was logging into his account at this hour and why? what did they get from logging in?? who even knew his password? he didn't think he was that obvious.

his password was uhh.. questionable. i'll leave it to your imagination.

if anyone knew about anything happening in liyue, venti could always depend on his good friend zhongli. they were best buds, with their fair share of fights too. venti was usually the victim.

he approached wangsheng funeral parlor where zhongli was sitting on the bench outside. he had to coerce zhongli to move a little away from the cat beside him though. allergies, yknow

"what do you want." zhongli said bluntly.

"old man. are you familiar with cybersecurity." venti cut straight to the real question.

"i'm aware of a little. my son does most of it for me."
oh right. that thing. to be honest... nono, he shouldn't say anything. but he might be able to see who's logging him... no no no... he can't go near that thing. no. no. nonono. he wasn't sure if his cleaning phase had ended yet, and venti wasn't really feeling like being hit over the head with a mop.

"you can always ask cloud retainer." oh, the bird. okay sure. better than a germophobe adeptus. does he really hate germany that much? liyue is full of strange people.

so venti went to see cloud retainer. it was sort of interesting. though venti considered himself good at reading people, birds on the other hand, a little difficult.

"oh? the anemo archon? one was told by rex lapis that you would be visiting one. One is delighted with your arrival." cloud retainer said. yeah.. birds can talk? well, he's not one to speak. he talks to dvalin and andrius. not like talking furrys is that weird. but cloud retainers not a furry right, she's a bird.. she's a feathery. what? wait does that exist? wait..

oh my god they actually do . wait im sorr6 for getting a little distracted but this is important... this has drastically changed my view of birds from now on. what am i talking about. they're literally in botw you dumb fuck. nintendo is a proud part of the furry agenda... ah....... i mean literally animal crossing?? furries.

"can you find out who is logging into my tinder account" venti asked.

cloud retainer nodded and got to work. idk how this works so idk how to describe it. i literally take a comp sci gcse this is like one of the topics i'm such a failure of a student (ofc i fucking am im writing this in school rn)

cloud retainers jaw drops. beak drops then.
"one is... one is very shocked."

"huh? who is it?" venti was now more curious than ever. he needed to find out who knew his embarrassing password.

"r-r-rex lapis..." cloud retainer stammered

REX FUCKING LAPIS?

of course it was. who else would it be. who else has that much dirt on him, who else would be able to guess his stupid little silly password without even having to think about it.

venti nodded quietly and returned to zhongli. he's going to kill a god today. zhongli can fake his death all the wants, but when he steeps as low to log into his fellow archon's tinder account, that makes him worthy of a real death for once. venti thought to himself 'i'll treat him to a nice... calm... retirement.'

morax was pretty smart for a god. that's how he'd been so successful ruling over liyue for millennia. so venti needed to come up with a good plan to kill him. there wasn't really any mortals that would dare to help him kill the geo archon, and the adepti wouldn't dare to kill rex lapis.

unless.. venti heard that there's a certain young woman with a notable place in the Liyue Qixing who's not too fond of rex lapiss. what was her name again? kaching? ooh. she sounds like money. definitely the person venti wants to befriend. okay, he'll make a trip to the jade chamber. he doesn't want to be caught by ningguang though. shes scary.

well.. time to get plotting. an assassination plot isn't going to assassination plot itself!
