If you're reading this, this is your sign to confess to that person you have pent-up feelings for!

[ HELLO, PLEASE TALK TO VENTI ABOUT YOUR DISASTROUS LOVE LIVES ]

You know what I'm talking about, don't deny it to yourself! Life is terribly fleeting, you know; time you waste denying the truth is simply time you're robbing yourself of. Especially in a place like this, where people come and go . . . you don't want to end up with regrets, do you?

Of course, it's no easy conversation to have. Especially if you're not sure of the other person's feelings . . . but the only way to find out is to be honest! The question, then, is how to do it. Back home, we had an entire festival dedicated to confessing one's feelings, but here, one will have to make do. As a bard, I'm of course happy to assist anyone at any time with finding their happy ending -- whether it's ghostwritten poems, serenades, or simply advice, I'm available for your every romantic need! I accept payment in drinks, hehe.

But even if you're not a paying customer, I hope this message tips your hand. Don't let precious time slip through your fingers. It spares none of us.

It's "Bard of Flowers" now.

[outofoffice]

Hehehe, that's me! 🌸

So how are you and Lumine?

[outofoffice]

Wonderful, so kind of you to ask!

[sangreine]

Be nice, now. He helped talk me down not that long ago.

un: gaine

[sangreine]

Our *every* romantic need, hm? [ Honestly, think before you type. ]

Please accept payment in drinks. Your tabs cost more than the house.

[outofoffice]

[ hm ]

Ah, I should clarify. This was not an offer of prostitution.

[He recognizes this username.]

Looks like it's your turn to be helpful now.

[He's not going to accidentally tank venti's business though.]

[outofoffice]

I can pull my weight on occasion!

[ Like . . . rarely. ]

Anyway, I just think there should be a little more love around here. At least enough to equal the fighting!

[mysophobic]

Does this mean you're offering to be a person's professional wingman!?

[ SHIGERU??? ] You're nice for doing this though!! I'm sure shy people are going to be grateful.

[outofoffice]

"Wingman"? Is that the term for it?

I love it!

[ HOW APPROPRIATE . . . ]

[ How fascinating. A bard to assist in matters of love?

But, he had to ask- ]

How does one tell if you are capable of romantic or intimate emotions?

[ ...He would put himself anonymously for now. But... it was something of a complicate issue, wasn't it? ]

[outofoffice]

Well . . . sometimes it means waiting for the right person to come along! The person who can make your heart sing in ways it hasn't before.

And of course, experimenting is something everyone does in order to understand their own desires better.

un:sarajevo | this is not a private message

[socialchameleon]

well theres this cute sphinx
i wasnt planning anything more than a fling but i think she stole my heart~

[outofoffice]

Make your move! The heart never lies!

[ THIS IS TERRIBLE ADVICE THE HEART LIES ALL THE FUCKING TIME ]

un: starbound

[glidinglight]

[ Listen.

They've talked about this. She expressed that she was fine going slow. That hasn't changed! However. If he's going to be putting himself out there like this, trying to spring clean other peoples' houses when he's hoarding his own junk, she's going to bully him.




To death. ]

Hi Cecilias! Am I to understand that you're here to offer us all advice on our relationships?

[outofoffice]

[ premonition ]

That's right!

@outrider

[outride]

Huh? But I don't have pent-up feelings for anyone!

( perhaps if this woman spent less time working......... )

Just between you and me, I kind of hope this changes one day ... but you can't tell a soul! I think just about every girl out there dreams about having a happily ever after ... you know? ( DOES HE KNOW? WHO KNOWS ... )

But I'll tell you one thing, I definitely miss Windblume! Even though I've only ever shared my feelings for others in a platonic sort of way, that festival means so much to me! It's an amazing outpour of love and care for everyone you know. Maybe one day I'll experience it with a special person!

... Even if I have no clue where to start with finding love, ha ha ...

[outofoffice]

[ PERHAPS IF THIS WOMAN SPENT LESS TIME WORKING!!!!

Still . . . this is so wholesome . . . ]

It sounds to me like we should get our dear Outrider a date!

[verytired]

Wow! The people here are very helpful. I just got here, but I'm impressed.

I've met some pretty amazing poets and musicians, and I've never heard them offer to help someone win another's heart.

[outofoffice]

Ah, but my friend, you've never met the greatest poet and musician. That's the difference!

Greetings,

I am but newly arrived and thus have no one to confess to. However, it is encouraging to see both love and the arts are much appreciated here. The world would be a far dimmer place without the work of bards such as yourself.

My own star also celebrated a day dedicated to love, which we called Valenione's Day after the family that founded the festival. Though romance was often at the forefront, all forms of love are to be revered and appreciated. There is something beautiful to be said about many worlds all setting aside a day for love, is there not?

May I enquire as to the time and date of your next performance? Though I am still settling in, some good song and verse would do much to lift the spirits and make one feel a little more at home.

Sincerely,
Aymeric de Borel

[outofoffice]

Dear Mr. Aymeric,

I'm delighted to meet a kindred spirit, in both appreciation for humanity's softer emotions, and the important work of bards in spreading that love far and wide.

As for your interest in my performance, I can be found playing every day in both Blossomcrown and Nightwake! Or, if you're more interested in after-hours tavern fare, I've become a regular at several of Nightwake's premier bars. If you choose to stop by, I'll even take a request for free~

Oh, and by the way! If you'd like to be set up with someone, you need only ask, hehe.

[applehearted]

I'm not sure I'm actually allowed to buy the kind of drinks that you'd accept payment for, but would I be able to ask a question regardless...?

[outofoffice]

[ A baby . . . ]

But of course! Ask as many as you like.

UN: K

[composalvation]

i don't know if i've ever had feelings like that...

but i agree that music is a good way to express such things
my mother fell in love with my father because of his songs, and their shared love of music is what led to their marriage being as happy as it was

[outofoffice]

How wonderful!

That is truly the power of music in action. Have you inherited that love as well?

un. fullmoon

[jjajeungna]

You have got to be kidding me.

[outofoffice]

I'm serious! I've never been unserious in my entire life!

un: pantsonpyre

[localweirdo]

A bard that has a festival for confessions, you say? That certainly sounds familiar.

[outofoffice]

Ohhhhh?

A person from Teyvat with some connection to the dead, as well as puns . . . ?

[ TRULY, WHO COULD IT BE?????? ]

un: King Iggy

[bahahahaha]

Love is gross

but also fake

isn't there even a fake holiday dedicated to that crap?

[outofoffice]

What determines if a holiday is real or fake? Surely the act of celebrating it renders it "real"?

un: tophats

[vivens]

[ WELL, given their first interaction— ]

You certainly are invested in the feelings of others, aren't you? I'll take this as a solid sign of your commitment for the general populace.

un:happyaround

[roundandaround]

Are there really a lot of people here who want to confess their love?

un: mazd

[mazd]

This sounds like you're speaking from personal experience.

un: yuuto

[spacialeyes]

If you know to handle having romantic feelings, then can you also help someone to get rid of them?
