un: mitternacht; video

( The video focuses on a slender girl dressed in purple and black, bangs over one eye covered with an eyepatch and a purple raven alongside her that doesn't seem quite corporeal. He is, in fact, the most leal servant of the Prinzessin der Verurteilung and is able to speak on her behalf when mundane subjects elude her.

Now, however, this new place shall see the Prinzessin in all her glory and know her purpose. )

Greetings, fair citizens! I come to you from the most grand city of Mondstadt, a place that is worthy enough to be my residence before I reclaim my true home in Immernachtreich. It is my sincere hope that all of you will be my servants in this glorious matter and ---

( It is now that the raven at her side begins to speak with both lower and more logical voice. )

Prinzessin, it would be best if you simply learned this new land before recruiting those among you to help you seek your homeland. We have a purpose here to serve others, not serve ourselves.

( Fischl cocks her head, considering it, then nods rapidly before giving everyone a broad smile. )

My name is Fischl and I will help liberate this land through my touch!

[Fischl basically LARPs 24/7. Go with it lol.]

Ah, my lady Fischl hath arrived! [Of course he is going to play along, pretending is what he does best, after all.] I had wondered if our dear Prinzessin would be among the arrivals from Mondstadt.

My lord captain Kaeya, always a faithful friend and loyal member of my retinue! How do you fare here and where have you been given accommodations to stay? I have been given a place to live in Stormreach which suits my needs quite fine. I will miss the beauty of Mondstadt even though it only be my temporary home.

( Fischl is genuinely happy to see him. Kaeya is one of the people who always treats her with respect and doesn't think she's silly for being a princess or for her eternal quest to return to her homeland. She intends to make him Calvary Captain in Immernachtreich. )

The Prinzessin der Verurteilung of the outer realm Immernachtreich herself. We truly are honoured.

[With his deadpan delivery it's hard to tell if he's mocking her or not. At least, if you don't know that Diluc is not prone to mocking anyone who is not Kaeya or Venti. Fischl's tendency to immerse herself so completely into a fantasy world is not unknown to Diluc, and he will not poke fun at her for it.]

Are you well?

[Fischl was one of his favorite people, if he were honest. She was also a very capable adventurer and he always had respect for those no matter their age, but kids always did get special treatment from him.]

I am well! I am staying in Sunwaning as my horse arrived with me and it is an area that uses horses and their primary mode of transport. Are you sure you would not be too cold in Stormreach? I would hate for my dear Prinzessin to freeze!

I am quite well, Master of Dawn Winery and vintner of all that is potable to drink in fair Mondstadt! I am pleased to see you, Master Diluc, and know that I will not be so alone.

( Master Diluc may not be one of the Knights of Favonius but he always has a kind word for her even if he is somewhat reserved most of the time. She appreciates such things. )

Where have you been staying?

It is very cold in Stormreach but I find that the atmosphere is most reminiscent of the autumn of my homeland so I could not leave it - at least not yet. I shall have to find myself a cloak befitting a princess.

( Oz flaps his wings and interrupts for a moment. )

Stormreach seems to fit the mood of the prinzessin just now and if her mood changes, she might seek out one of the other regions. I don't know why, considering it is Windblume in Mondstadt right now.

Is it! My, and here I am about to miss it. Well, would my lady like an escort in shopping for a cloak?

[He does have an eye for fur, you know.]

I would be most grateful for an escort, especially one so fashionable as you, Captain. We shall have to celebrate Windblume here ourselves, I'm afraid, in Blossomcrown. It won't be the same without the triumphant cecilias!

( Fischl considers Kaeya the most fashionable of all the Knights of Favonius - aside from herself, of course. )

[There's a little "Oh!" and a wave of his hand, as though to "aw, shucks" at being called so fashionable. But he will certainly not deny it!]

Actually, I have been to the Blossomcrown botanical gardens. You will be pleased to hear that it is quite beautiful and I think would serve well to celebrate Windblume! Lack of cecilias aside, of course. Now, if you are available, why don't we meet in Nightwake City so I may assist in getting my lady something warm to wear.

[While it seemed possible to get to Stormreach by horse in less than a day, it was likely going to be a bit of a long right. Nightwake seemed a good midway point as any.]

I think that would be most agreeable! I should not like to catch a chill and take sick when this world needs my help so direly.

( Which is, to say, that Fischl will absolutely meet Kaeya halfway to get a cloak because her clothes are quite suited for the spring and not the late autumn. )

When shall we meet? What hour?

[ Wow! Fischl and Oz are here too? At this rate, is anyone going to be left to protect Mond?

Give her a moment, she's just trying to adjust her way of talking to match. ]

Fair greetings, Prizessin and her honorary emissary, Oz. Long has it been since last we spoke. How fair you at this odd hour?

Lumine! I am blessed by your presence and grateful to see a leal subject before my eyes. I am quite well, even if I am cold. My new home is Stormreach, for now, and I just came from Windblume!

( Windblume is actually Fischl's favorite time of year, followed closely by Ludi Harpastrum. Everyone in Mondstadt is so festive during Windblume and there is a romantic spirit in the air. )

All of Mondstadt was abloom when I arrived here. What of you? Where have you come from? Surely you've still been traveling, yes?

[ @ Power Holders stop KIDNAPPING HIS FUCKING KIDS! 🔪🔪🔪🔪

Beams! At the camera! ]

Aha! With Mondstadt's best adventurer here, there's no trial we cannot overcome!

Behold! The finest bard in all of Mondstadt has come here and surely we will have a song to carry us through our duty!

( Fischl might believe she's from a fantasy land but she knows, too, that she's from Mondstadt and no Mondstadter will turn down a drink and a song. )

How fare you, Bard of Mondstadt? Does the wind carry your song to this strange world, too?

[ Most people she would be willing to answer with more honesty, but it feels like it would be very, very wrong to burden someone like Fischl with the truth. Especially when she's just come from Windblume, apparently, and is in such an ecstatic mood. ]

Yup, traveling! Nowhere particular, just... wandering, like you do!

You must tell me of all the places you've been! I have found myself passing the hours playing cards with nearly everyone in Mondstadt but I seem to have not brought them with me.

( Fischl gives Lumine a keen glance. )

Have you brought your Genius Invokation cards?

Forgive the dumb question, but what exactly am I helping you liberate this world from? The person who greeted us when we woke up here –Olwen– wasn't really specific about the dangers outside the city.

[ Please tell him the Corrupted didn't follow him all the way here. ]

Oh! I was only told that the weather could be mercurial and dangerous. One should be careful when encountering those things lest you be caught unaware.

( Fischl exchanges a glance with her raven construct, Oz, and he begins to speak instead. )

The Prinzessin means that this place is unusual to her and clearly must need saving if it summoned someone as important as her here. There has been no confirmation of danger.

[ ...That sure is a talking bird. That's definitely new. ]

Thank you for the answer,...uh, bird and Prinzessin. I didn't think the environment was too bad, but I've trekked through a lot worse back home with enemies swooping in on wyvernback. Is it too cold or too hot for you?

[ Pinged in his Mondstadt soul, Thoma is leaning into his camera with a very eager look. ]

Oh, you're from Mondstadt, recently? Would you mind telling me about how it's been? It's been a long time since I was there.

[ Phew. Okay then, Cloud's back in his apartment, he's got his bag of rice and a couple other groceries after another day of venturing Nightwake. Time to check and see what's happening on the Network, setting video and voice submissions on autoplay in case he hears from anybody back home and—

"Greetings, fair citizens!"

Aaand it's a very theatric sounding girl. Listening as he sets his bag of rice in the corner of his countertop, he stops the moment he hears the name Mondstadt. ]

Another one...? [ He voices quietly to himself as he turns his head back to his phone on the counter, deciding to have a listen in and watch Fischl and her...is that a big purple raven? ] ...

[ He listens to the end, before deciding to pick up his device. ]

Still trying to figure out why it's touch that's keeping us grounded.

[ Not that it's a problem for him. But...can he just...pass someone like Fischl on the street and give her a crisp high five? ]

Much colder than fair Mondstadt! We are in the throes of spring and our finest festival days. There is beauty in Autumn as well, though, and I seek to find it. Which season were you given?

( Finding out where everyone lives has occupied Fischl's mind and taken her away from her never-ending quest to find her homeland which doesn't actually exist. )

Mondstadt fares well! We are celebrating the glorious festival of Windblume just now and every flower is abloom. Have you been to Mondstadt before? I recognize you not.

( Fischl prides herself on knowing nearly everyone in her fair city but there are always one or two that have escaped the prinzessin's notice. )

I seek the answers to why we need to touch as well! While I fear not touching another person, I should like to know why it aids this place and heals the problems of it.

( It occurs to her that this man has said "another one" and she cocks her head. )

You have met others from Mondstadt here?

[ Ah... he kept his microphone on when he was listening to her message. She caught that. Well, he supposes there's no point in keeping anything a secret now. ]

Here, and another world before getting pulled to this one.
