🧷 🕸 and 🪴 ? :)))??

🧷 who’s your least favorite character aesthetic-wise?

answered here!

🕸 brag about something. can be some numbers you’re proud of, how long you saved for someone, a good artifact you got, whatever. just hype yourself up

answered here and here! help i'm running out of things to brag about bc my account is really nothing special-

uh. uhhh. uhhhhhhh. uhmmmmmmm.....

i farmed the entirety of fontaine and enkanomiya and the chasm to 100% to get my fates to 214 wishes for wriothesley's last banner! and he drained all of that and more..........

🪴 what’s your favorite quest?

graaaaaaah i can't choose hskdhskdj

i'm biased so i adored zhongli's and al haitham's story quests. yoimiya and lyney's were also super cute! i have yet to play wriothesley's, so i have no opinion on that as of now...

but on the other hand i also loved liyue and sumeru and fontaine's archon quests!!! *head in hands* i love them all equally, they all have their ups and downs but i loved the experience hahah

(the dedication I'm CACKLING–)

"Would you oblige me by serving as my muse again for tomorrow? It won't take much of your time, I simply want to sketch you in an ambient setting... How about Liuli Pavilion?"

(poor morax's flower is wilting tho–)

i am albedo's most dedicated fan. no #1 simp fr. my life revolves around the chief alchemist. he is my life my blood my reason to live-

"i'd love to be the model of your sketch!"

[zhongrin]

Hey there Mei! How have you been? Haha, I'm so sorry it's been a while since our last chat, paperwork had kept me busy since Yae Publishing House's supposed "blunder" during the Warrior's Spirit competition.

Listen, may I steal your lover for a moment? Dor– Albedo, let's have a chat. It'll just be a quick walk. Oh no, please stay where you are, Mei. I'd like for us to talk privately. Hmm? Haha, of course, I'm not keeping secrets from you. Chief Alchemist, shall we head out?

-----

"Dorian", I presume that's your true name? You've switched with the real "Albedo" didn't you? If you haven't and Cretaceus had become naturally deranged, well I'd be damned.

It's as cold as I remember here in Dragonspine, then again it'd be foolish for me to expect anything else from a near abandoned location.

Hmph. I saw that– I'd be a bit wiser if I were you. Until you're confident that you can best one of Khaenri'ah's royal captains, you ought to sheathe that sword fast. You are not even certain if I am your enemy. Why don't you act more like your successor and be less... Feral.

I only ask for three answered questions, surely it'd all be answered by the time we reach the outskirts. Unlike the other Khaenri'ahn Captain you might know, your answers here do have a bearing on how you'll leave this place. Still, I implore you to avoid hesitation and speak from the heart. And do not lie, for no primordial tongue nor eyes can deceive me. Before I became Mei's friend, I was also Rhine's. I watched her design you– albeit my preferences were one of the reasons why you had blonde hair and blue eyes in the first place.

First question, do you love Mei? "Are you serious"– of course I am. She is a friend and in all my years of living, I've discovered that it is unfortunately difficult to find people like her. I only wish the best for her. If your intentions are true, then I shall ponder over whatever you propose. You are Rhine's creation, and therefore one of our own. I could be an ally by the end of this talk, so play nice.

But once again, do NOT lie. "Kjærligheten er som vinden, du kan ikke se den, men du kan føle den"– I will know if you do attempt to lie. No wind is too "loud" for me to know the truth.

Second question, is this a scheme to get back at the Gods? As you may have noticed, I am also Khaenri'ahn– Mondstadters sure find it difficult to spot us from the crowd, hmm? Back to the matter at hand, coveting the Geo Archon's beloved spouse would surely be considered more than a petty crime in the eyes of divinity. Since the incident 500 years ago, I've threaded a thin line of neutrality when it comes to my homeland and Celestia. I must know if I could support your motivations, I do hope you understand.

Lastly, what do you plan on doing once the timer runs out? You should be well aware that your brainwashing won't last long. It was only luck that this astral fake sky aligned to grant you this opportunity. Do you intend to continue harassing her when you now have the Acting Grand Sage of the Akademiya and that "Funeral Consultant" behind your back?

... Don't ponder on the last question for too long. The answer to the first question is vital– everything else is secondary.

Now, won't you be a dear and start talking? I hate returning Rhine's experiments in more than one piece.

"wai- ansy- but- wha- aaand there they go..."

the girl stared at the two retreating back in the distance, a small pout forming on her lips.

"no, seriously, why are my friends being like this..."

"...."

"'secrets'..."

she absentmindedly toyed with the little belt on her hip, fingers clenching around nothing.

"something's..... weird...."

".... i certainly did not expect a sudden interrogation from someone i just met while being fully conscious for the very first time in this timeline," he sheathed back his sword and eyed the human(?) being in front of him impassively, "forgive the hostility. you lot have been quite... resilient, in your attempts. and suffice to say i am not in a good mood."

he falls back into step with them while keeping a safe distance away, three pairs of eyes observing each other silently before he decides to break the silence. 

"i suppose i could entertain you for a while. what an amusing set of questions. let's see..."

"for your first question - at first i have to admit, i saw her as a peculiar subject; nothing more, nothing less. but her... devotion, you could say, was admirable and fascinating. and as we spent time together, we became curious."

"how does it feel like to be loved so wholly and unconditionally by someone?"

"how does it feel like to know that there would always be that one person, who would support and follow you to the edge of the universe regardless of what you are?"

"how does it feel to be willingly given and to hold such a fragile thing, fully knowing that i would be able to simply crush them?"

he chuckled when their bloodlust clawed on his synthetic skin.

"i'm not done. that was all it was in the beginning, yet...," his face twists into a melancholic expression making him look almost... vulnerable.

when he finally resumed his speech, however, his voice is steady, and he remains stoic throughout the rest of his answer.

"love... is a concept we still struggle to understand fully. but at the very least, i'd like to think what i feel for her is something along that line. emotions were never my strong suit, but even synthetic beings evolve, mx. ansy. i'm sure you know of this quite well, don't you? at the end of the day, as i have been telling you all: i do not wish to harm her."

the snow crunch under their shoes as the two continued their leisurely walk through the blizzard. the snowstorm didn't seem to have any effect on either of them as they climbed the slopes, and so the homunculus continued.

"secondly - i know you might have a hard time believing this, but no. i do not wish to mess with the divinity by doing this. i merely saw someone who managed to light my days, to put it in simple terms. this is why i do not understand why everyone seems to be quite... hostile, when faced with the knowledge of our relationship. i understand that change is sometimes hard to accept, but change and growth is often on the same side, is it not?"

"and lastly..... when the timer runs out?"

he falls into a short silence, eyes narrowing and a small incline tugging at the corner of his lips. his soles snap a dead branch into two.

"let's just say, i have countermeasures set in place."

his footsteps stop, and with an obviously faked smile, he extended his hand for a parting handshake, "normally i would have said to please give my regards to your beloved royal knight, but... it seems like you're dealing with some issues of your own, so i'll spare you the anguish. despite such circumstances, you still made yourself check up on a friend after all, so i think it deserves at least a little sympathy."

"i believe you'll get an opportunity to continue speaking with me directly very soon, for as long as you want. so please, do not act rashly. i really do want to keep it civil between us. now. i believe that should answer all of your questions."

"i believe you'll get an opportunity to continue speaking with me directly very soon, for as long as you want. so please, do not act rashly. i really do want to keep it civil between us. now. i believe that should answer all of your questions."

*chuckles*

It did. Thank you for entertaining my sudden inquiries. I did not mean to act hostile– I do not enjoy making adversaries.

You have my gratitude for accompanying me to the outskirts. I'll be taking my leave. Mei that I'll make it up to her someday, okay? And do lie and say I couldn't handle the cold after acclimating to Inazuman temperatures hence why I cannot stay long.

Farewell, "Albedo", it was a pleasure to finally talk to you one-on-one.

-----

[My my, how interesting... I wonder how would you be able to counter whatever is in store for you in the next two days. Still, how fun. If Mona were here to use her scry glass, she would've certainly flipped her lid seeing Mei's fate change.

"Teppei", huh? Who knew this man is a lot more relevant than what eas initially expected. Most importantly, "your old bias doesn't matter anymore", I wonder how your countermeasures can hold against that.

Poor, poor Dorian. Outplayed by a dead man. And here I thought I might even support your endeavors, but alas,

the chips are down.]

he stared silently at the retreating back of their guest before scoffing and making his way back. a chill runs down his spine, and somehow he instinctively knew it was not because of the cold.

it'll be fine. everything will be fine.

..... but it appears that they need to reassess their plan, just in case.

"mei?"

she jolts and seemed to shove something away behind her back. his eyes narrow at the action, but he forces himself to remain calm when he addresses her.

"what's wrong? it's just me."

"ahaha, i know, you just caught me off guard, is all! so.... how did the talk with ansy go? where are they?" she was so bad at trying to change the subject, he almost laughed out loud. how endearing.

still, it was concerning.

"it was a fruitful talk. they couldn't handle the cold, so they decided to leave. they said sorry and promised that they would be making it up to you sometime in the future."

she shifted uncomfortably on her seat, a saddened smile on her lips, "oh. i see...."

"are you okay?" his gloved hand gently tucked her hair behind her ears and tenderly cups her cheek.

"yeah... just have a lot to think about, is all," she sighs and pulls away from the intimate gesture, motioning towards the general direction of the supplies, "i'm gonna go get some snacks, you want some?"

"that's alright. i'm not hungry. and i need to go out soon."

"okay. be safe out there, albedo!"

...... strange.

she didn't lean into his touch and didn't call him by his pet name?

the uneasy feeling crawls inside him, as if all the remnants of the spiders inside his gut came back alive and piled the silken webs of doubt into his manmade heart.

......

well, either way...

it's already too late to turn back now.
