If I may pose a hypothetical question.

For a being that has existed many a millenia, what would be information most pertinent to their enjoyment of a... modernized life?

[ Yeah this absolutely has nothing to do with him. He's not 6,000 years old and still doesn't understand how to use the microwave in his inn room, nope. ]

[Oh no this is kind of endearing in a way.]

First I would ask what non-modern activities do you partake in that would need a modern solution?

[saxum]

Communication would be my primary concern. We do not possess these smartphones in my world, though I believe it is a convenience we are simply lacking to create as of yet. Its ability to take photographs like a kamera, that I am familiar with, but nothing else.

[trustheart]

Right. Purely hypothetical.

I guess it would be how to manage funds? You can't get anywhere these days without that kind of know-how.

[ How... how does he send the words... ]

[saxum]

I apologize, I've not yet accustomed to the full use of the smartphones. Please if you would, could I be advised on how to communicate in the same manner you are using?

I don't think you have to know everything about technology to enjoy a modernised life, but you should get an air fryer. It'll make your life so easy.

[saxum]

What is the necessity of frying the air?

[ HELP HIM ]

That really depends. Have you been living out your millennia somewhere removed from the ever-changing "modern" society? Or right there in the thick of it?

[ For Corwin, it was the latter, for the past few centuries, anyway. ]

It would be helpful to know where our starting line is, so to speak.

[saxum]

I suppose the better narrative would be, an individual who has watched life prosper and advance around them, but it appears their world in particular has not advanced in the same degree as, say, this world. Would that provide a more understandable context?

[I mean he's not quite so modern as some, but...]

I think understanding how to fit in with society would be the most important aspect. Assuming you want to be part of it.

[saxum]

Ah... for one that has seen much, I believe sometimes, it is enough to observe.

[ I thought we were speaking hypothetically here Zhongli? ]

Watching a society grow in its own manner is rather fascinating, certainly when one is jobless. ...perhaps a new occupation is in order, I am unsure.

A millenia!? You're so old! I thought you were in your 20's! What kind of skincare are you using!?

[ AMAZING... A beat, then he adds: ]

I guess that makes you the realest millenial.

[saxum]

Are there individuals who falsify being of such an age?

[ Someone would do that? Just lie on the internet like that? ]

I cannot say I do very much in regards to caring for myself physically. But, perhaps the wine has helped to some degree.

Zhongli! Have you figure out the joys of taking pictures with your smartphone yet? If not, I'd be more than happy to show you! I'll just need your smartphone.

Also, there are things inside bars called karaoke!

[ ...............why does the bard know more than he does??? ]

[saxum]

I am perfectly capable of learning such things upon my own volition.

[ .................. ]

What is karaoke?

[toremainbehind]

[More than a millennia?

...

He feels for this guy.]

I'd suggest getting to know the 'trends' of whatever is happening now or getting accustomed to any technology that you've never seen before.

[saxum]

Trends...?

[ You're going to have to explain that to him buddy. ]

Existed for many millennia?! ∑(ﾟﾛﾟ〃)

That's pretty amazing! Like a god, right? Well, I guess gods do live among people at times. The God of Light back home does periodically comes down to visit.

But...I guess learning how modern appliances and things work? Do gods need to eat though? Oh! Maybe watching movies and stuff too...learning about current culture would be something a god would be interested, I think?!

I guess it really depends on what they're interested in and stuff like that, right?

gonna just say this is after he had a quick texting 101 1/???

Hypothetical, huh.

[Honestly, this situation isn't unknown to Kadoc, and he might even have believed that this question was not about the poster in question, even if it weren't hypothetical per se . . .

But there's that username. Kinda says it all. Kadoc isn't a guy who smiles a whole ton, but there's a little smile in his voice when he responds to the post, barely there.]

But sure. That's a broad question. There's a wide range of things that could be "enjoyment." I'd talk about things like music and movies, but maybe it's better to start with the enjoyment of knowing how modern plumbing works. That kinda thing.

[saxum]

Hypothetical.

[ He says, and yet he's already messed up keeping this whole post hypothetical in the bunch of the replies. ]

I am familiar with music, however I am to assume the type of music created upon this period of time must be far different than what I am used to.

[ Though he's seen Avalon has its share of bards and instrumental performances. ]

I would have to however enquire in regards to what are movies and this which you refer to as plumbing.
