GRANDMA HUA???

You're out picking flowers and Grandma casually drops that she used to be part of that incredibly cursed cult village your most incessant stalker drew a whole entire picture book about and uses as a light moral bedtime story.

THIS LADY RIGHT HERE. Conversation under the cut.

Grandma Hua: Better than the past when you had to trade something just to get a bite to eat...

Rover: Exchange?

Grandma Hua: Hmm...When I was younger, in another village, they had the habit of exchange.

Grandma Hua: Exchange...What exactly are we exchanging...?

Grandma Hua: I can't remember...Every time I think of the word "exchange", I get the heebie-jeebies...

#wuthering waves #VERY DISTURBING GRANDMA HUA. THANK YOU.#YES YOU HAVE A NICE DAY TOO #yooo qichi village lore just dropped #and by 'just dropped' I mean it's been here forever but I just found it so #I didn't notice this when I first ran into her but it literally calls her “Qichi Villager”#think that was an accident?#she lives in Taoyuan Vale now! Game!#anyway so we seem to get a little more about what it was like to actually live there #sounds uh....pretty awful! unsurprisingly!#first thought: capitalism on steroids #also like...a cannibal village but without the cannibalism. if that makes sense.#she also talks about how nice it is to be able to do everything for yourself (implied: and not have to rely on anyone)#so. major trust issues. which doesn't sound surprising from what we know about the place.#a backstabbing paranoid and hyper-individualistic culture it sounds like #the WORST combo #and it was bad enough knowing what we knew but if they were having to use those 'wishes' on something like food just to be able to eat...#dang #her flip into present tense at the end there is 100% a translation error but that's also a PTSD symptom SOOO #'what ARE we exchanging...?'#she'll never fully be out of that place ):
