( 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.]

Yes indeed! Cloud the Adventurer! Will you be working with the Guilds once they open or are you seeking other work?

( He sounds suited to the guilds, same as she, but she's curious as to what he'll do here in the city. )

If everything pans out, delivery boy. [ If he were in person with her, he'd gesture idly with one hand at his side as he elaborates. ] Back in Kyoto, I'd meant to start a business up. But I'm more used to the technology of this kinda world.

[ Meaning he has an excuse to get a motorcycle wheeeeeeeeeeeee ]

[mitternachtprinzessin]

Delivery boy? They're important but I wouldn't think a mercenary would want to deliver things. Tired of fighting?

( Fischl thinks it is a valid thing to be tired of fighting, tired of adventuring. One day, she might want to hang up her bow - though not before she finds her way home. )

[sultanofsquat]

[ "Tired of fighting?" ]

....

[ His gaze drifts from the camera for a moment. That's a question he's never been asked before. Give him a couple more years? Perhaps he'd have a more concrete answer for this girl. But now, ]

I'm not sure.

[ His mako-infused blue eyes are back on Fischl and Oz on the other side. He's not about to get deep and thoughtful with someone he just met. But he's already said three words too many to let on. ]

Fighting's just about the best thing I'm good at. And I still got a lot of that to do whenever I go home.

[mitternachtprinzessin]

Having prowess at the martial arts is nothing to be ashamed of but I can understand wanting something different. I, too, long for variety in my life. I can cook a little and use my bow, naturally - a curious mind is one who is never bored. Thinking is good for the soul.

( Fischl thinks so, anyway, though she doesn't like to be alone with her own thoughts very often. )

[sultanofsquat]

[ Thinking is good for the soul, huh... It wasn't every day he had somebody feeding into and encouraging him to do that. Though it goes unspoken, lost in thoughts all alone typically didn't lead to positive results. For too long, anyway. ]

Appreciate the confidence booster, Fischl. Name's Clou— [ Wait... Ah. He didn't formally introduce himself in the first place, did he. He spilled the beans when pondering that little title for himself. He huffs, expression softening a little. ]

"Cloud the Adventurer"; at your service... [ HE SHRUG ] I guess.

[mitternachtprinzessin]

Cloud? What a wonderful name. It inspires confidence, I think, and if you should choose to join me on my journey, you would make a wonderful retainer at my court. Cloud the Adventurer sounds good for now, though.

( Fischl grins at him. )

Am I Fischl the Adventurer too? I have been known to take a commission from time to time.

[sultanofsquat]

Immer... [ He's not going to try pronouncing it. CHANGING COURSE. ] It sounds tempting. But I'll hafta pass.

[ He has somewhere else he wants to be. ]

Maybe a visit.

[ For all intents and purposes, despite his laid back tone, he's hung to every word. Whether it's real or the power of her will manifest, he's got no reason to believe otherwise. ]

Guess in the meantime, we'll just hafta focus on this world.

[ As Adventurers! ]

[mitternachtprinzessin]

This world seems to need a strong battalion of adventurers to solve their problems in the segments. We should work together, Cloud the Adventurer.

( This world needs strong adventurers and she is more than capable with bow and Electro! )

[sultanofsquat]

[ "Just Cloud" almost pops out of his mouth. But instead he simply shakes his head. ]

Works for me. Keep in touch.
