Zhongli: Hello. Ganyu and Xiao decided to buy me a cellular telephone as a gift and suggested that a "group chat" between the staff of Camp Teyvat would be beneficial. I thought I'd get your opinions on the matter. -Zhongli
Lisa: oh my archons they actually did it
Baizhu: the madlads lol
Jean: I think that's a lovely idea, Zhongli! The radios we usually use were getting quite old, this may be very helpful!
Zhongli: Thank you for your input, Jean. I will work on gathering the information for the rest of the staff. If you have any concerns about this summer please feel free to contact me. -Zhongli
Baizhu: he knows he doesn't have to sign his texts right
Lisa: it's harmless so just let him be
Jean: I can hardly believe the summer is almost here! Oh I just can't wait to see you all again tonight
Baal: we go to the same university.
Jean: It's not the same as working with you all! I missed you
Baizhu: that's our jeanie always all sentimental
Jean: You say that as if you're not excited to be back as well
Baizhu: going from med student to summer camp medic oh joy
Lisa: you didn't need to come back
Baizhu: this pays better than McDonald's
Lisa: so you say
Jean: Everyone has the same position as last summer, right?
Ningguang: not exactly
Baal: oh great he promoted you.
Jean: Ningguang! Congratulations!
Ningguang: thank you Jean
Lisa: second summer at camp and already you're a department head look at you
Baizhu: impressive indeed
Ningguang: nonesense
Baal: accept the fucking compliments.
Ningguang: no
Jean: So you're covering Arts and Academics this summer, Ningguang?
Ningguang: apparently so
Lisa: guess I'll be seeing plenty of you then
Baizhu: yes how lucky spending the summer indoors in the library
Ningguang: air conditioning my beloved
Lisa: lmao did Beidou teach you that one
Ningguang: yes she did
Baizhu: doing archons work lol
Jean: Oh, she's coming back too, right? I don't think the Athletics department would be the same without her!
Ningguang: she's more excited to be back than I am
Lisa: that sounds like Beidou alright
Baizhu: even as a camper she was always so excited for the summer lol
Lisa: don’t act like you weren’t the same when we were that age
Baal: ha. old.
Lisa: watch your words you
Baal: or what.
Jean: Haha let’s change the subject!
Jean: Perhaps Zhongli is almost done creating the Staff chat?
Ningguang: good luck with that he’s pitifully slow with technology
Baal: how the fuck do you know that.
Ningguang: we shared nearly half of our classes bastard
Jean: Right, it’s kind of hard to believe that someone a year younger than us is in the year above, I guess
Ningguang: so it seems
Lisa: Zhongli is rather bad with anything made in the last twenty years lmao
Lisa: that’s why we call him grandpa
Ningguang: rather than type his essays he did them all on a typewriter
Baizhu: the commitment
Jean: That does seem like him, alright
Lisa: i’m surprised Ganyu and Xiao managed to get him to use a phone at all
Baizhu: the power they hold is incredible

Zhongli: Thank you for attending tonight’s meeting. I have high hopes for this summer. As mentioned in our meeting, the department heads will send a list of the counsellors working with them in this chat in case anyone missed it. Other than that you can find your cabin assignments posted on the door of the staff building. Have a good night, I will see you all in the morning. -Zhongli
Yae: He’s still doing that I see
Baizhu: i doubt he’ll ever stop lol
Ganyu: I suggest that we hold off on texting until the heads have finished sending their lists?
Albedo: That seems like the smartest course of action

Zhongli: Good evening. The campers arrive tomorrow morning. Your assignments for tomorrow morning are as follows. Some of Regulations will meet the campers at the buses and escort them to the dining hall. Arts and Academics will be waiting there to sort them into their groups. The rest of Regulations will escort them to their cabins where their group counsellors will take over. Athletics will empty the gear from the buses. It will all be marked. Camp activities begin the next day. Please direct any questions towards your department heads. -Zhongli
