[ ochako is just wandering today, and finds both herself and hua cheng at the manor! at least she’s been here before, so it’s not as creepy the second time around. ]
[ This is his house, now. Hua Cheng has decided it. So he's fairly at home as he looks at Ochako, then at the manor around them. ]
My guess would be that enough people in the family found themselves moving into the graveyard, next door, that there wasn't anyone that would be able to maintain the estate.
Rot, usually. [ Now that he's gotten the ghost jokes out of the way. ] Dampness could have spread from one, isolated area before it caused a collapse of the floor. It would explain why more of it didn't collapse with it, but the rest wouldn't be able to account for the weight.
But - a heavy emphasis on the usually. Alternatively, it was to block off the section it fell into.
If it was to block something off, then it's either something dangerous or just something they're trying to hide. Which means... we should definitely check it out!
[ He looks at her. And then the damages. Contemplative. ]
Alright. I can't, in good conscience, leave you to go snooping on your own. I'm too nosy for that. [ also gege would frown at him ] Let's give it a try.
[ It's the Oprah bees gif except full of memory bubbles. ]
You're not, but not too many I've talked to have wanted to climb in there and try to move the debris. [ He does advance towards it, though, going to loosen his bracers as he walks. ] Color me curious, though.
It'd be easier if I had my quirk... but I'm still recovering, so I'm not going to move that much. If there's something interesting, though, we can try!
It's fine, I can move the heavier things if we wind up encountering that. [ He slides his bracers and vambraces off in one piece to each arm, setting them aside and rolling up the sleeves of his robes. ]
Mm. [ hands on his hips, assessing where to start ] Explain a quirk to me, in your context.
Oh. It's like a superpower, or some people here think it's a kind of magic, I guess. In my world, it's different from person to person, and we only have one each. Mine lets me remove the gravity of anything or anyone I touch and make it float - Xie Lian-san saw it, a few weeks ago.
Ah, I see. [ That's - actually pretty useful! 10/10, Ochako, color him impressed. ] That would be rather convenient in a place like this, wouldn't it? Especially with debris everywhere and whatever hidden corners there are.
Yeah, exactly! It's good for construction and stuff, too! Places like this really make me miss having it... But maybe if we get through this whole competition, we'll get it all back along with our memories.
Given how many people have different abilities, I would certainly hope so. Not having mine has been... well, interesting. [ He can imagine that having something so useful as the control of gravity would help... so much... in this place, nevermind in her world. ]
I wasn't a cultivator, before I died, at least not that I can remember. Not like gege cultivated his spiritual energy. So it's not that foreign to me, but it's been a long time.
A cultivator is someone like gege - they hone their skills in martial arts and, ah, cultivate their spiritual energy into something they can use like a weapon. Some will cultivate into immortality, they've strengthened their cores to that point. A strong cultivator can even ascend into godhood if their hard work and deeds pay off.

So what do you think happened here, anyway?

[ very funny. and not what she was talking about! ]
I meant more like how it got so ruined. A whole floor doesn't just collapse for no reason.

[ but. different worlds and all. maybe it's just not a thing in hers? ]
So he has powers, too? Besides being a great martial artist. That sounds cool.
[ there is probably a bubble floating ominously behind her. ]
