Hello~o~o, Nipp~on!

[ The video clips on and Venti seems to be up somewhere... high, maybe? He's not on the ground at least. It's difficult to tell where he is. His voice is loud and he has a bottle in his right hand. He doesn't seem drunk - or even tipsy, though the bottle is definitely not full. He's in a good mood. ]

I'm Venti - a bard from Teyvat! Most famously from Mondstadt. It's been awhile since I've said anything here and I wanted to introduce myself. And I wanted to hear from you, too!

[ He smiles wide. His voice is still loud. ]

I'm going to be playing a lot of music out here, and while I've learned some songs native to here over time, I want to learn some songs from your homes, too!

[ He leans into the camera, as if he's telling a secret, and his voice gets quiet. ]

So I think you need to tell me about those songs. I'd be happy to play them for you. And if you'd like to meet a dragon, I might be able to do that for you, too!

[ He pulls away from the camera, and his voice rises again. ]

Also - if you're from Teyvat - please say hi! I'm sure there's many of you I've never gotten the chance to meet, or haven't seen in awhile! I'd love to see you again~

Maybe we can get drinks together.

[ He lets out a small - ehe before he shuts off the device. ]


[ ooc; open to action, too - as he is on a roof ]

[Oh Venti, never change.]

Did you say meet a dragon?

[notgrande]

I did, my darling friend! He's another dear friend of mine from home. He'll come if I call to him. I'm sure he'd adore you as much as I do.

[vennessa]

Uhhh.

[Look she only has one lasting memory of dragons back home. Venti please.]

What's his name?

[mistsplitter]

Greetings, Venti. I am Kamisato Ayaka, from Inazuma. [ His name is very familiar!! And because he confirms he is a bard, no doubt he is one of the guests the Yashiro Commission invited to come to Inazuma for the Irodori Festival... ] We have yet to meet, but our paths should cross in Teyvat at some point.

[notgrande]

Our paths will absolutely cross in time at home - well, Inazuma. But it's great to see you. I'm familiar with your family.

I'm sure that they'll cross many times. But it is good to see you here, too, Ayaka.

[mistsplitter]

I'm very glad to hear that.

And while I do love music and song, I'm not quite the talented musician to be able to share what I know with you. Hehe. You'll have to forgive me for that.

[guujigang]

Ah, old friend. Some things never change! Take it from someone who lives in the land of eternity.

[ She laughs. Yae is walking down a sidewalk while holding her magicomm up ]

Say, I remember us having ramen during the Irodori Festival. That offer of a drink sounds lovely.

[notgrande]

I don't have to change once I got it right!

[ another, mischievous ehe ]

The ramen was amazing, so a drink would be amazing. It'd also be great to have someone around who may be able to keep up.

[guujigang]

[ Ah, just exactly the way she left him. She loves that. His familiar laid-back attitude brings her mind back to Teyvat, even for a short while ]

Surely you know more of this world than I.
Name me the time and place you wish to meet.
I'll make sure to carve out some time for an old friend.

[ And save a lot of money as she can, because she might need to pay for him. ]

... How big a dragon we talking?

[ Says the guy keeping the Bahamut Materia a secret. adfskjh ]

[notgrande]

Big - like, Dragon-sized. He's older and what you'd imagine from hearing stories of dragons.

[sultanofsquat]

Cool.

Not sure how I'm gonna get music from my world here yet, but... I'll keep you in the loop.

[ This guy...of all the archons to be brought here, well he supposed it could be worse. ]

There are quite a few of us here that herald from Teyvat.

[notgrande]

And so many that I've yet to meet - you among them. I'm always glad to see friendly faces.

[jarinza]

[ Venti, NO!!! Dain just has to scoff at that. He doesn't want to talk to no gods! He just wants to fight them... ]

I know of you. You claim to be a simple bard, correct? Such a farce for a once proud archon, no?

[chichichi]

"Maybe"?

[ Setsura leans back against the trunk of the tree atop one of the boughs of which she's presently reclining. Venti has certainly gotten her attention, to the point she's gently plucking the earbud that regularly occupies her left ear from it.

She isn't from Teyvat, but she's more than less inclined to tease Venti. Just a little. ]

If it's songs from my world, I can do you one better than simply telling you about them, but over the magi-comm won't do for any of this.

[ Songs, dragons, drinking -- it's all best in person. ]

[notgrande]

I said maybe!

[ He knows when he's being teased a little bit. ]

Oh - want to meet, then? If you can give me some inspiration, a meeting is well worth it!

[chichichi]

I'm not in the business of disappointment.

[ She wouldn't call this work, though. ]

Where are you now?

[repayer]

Looking for new material, are you? Have you already grown tired of mocking my family?

[ She doesn't appear to be offended that he had done it in the first place, but she sure as hell won't let anyone forget about it! ]

[notgrande]

My, my! One should seize every opportunity they have. Here, there's a chance to learn music of other worlds - why not take it?

Wouldn't I be a fool not to?

[historicallyloaded]

Music recording technology isn't in vogue yet where I'm from so regrettably I wouldn't be able to so easily share anything with you Mister Venti, to say nothing of orchestral compositions that are best appreciated in the acoustics of a grand theater...

[ He looks like he's about to go on about that but stops himself, clears his throat briefly. ]

—but, ah, I'm getting ahead of myself.

There's a song I'm quite partial to that's performed in local taverns about 'Tombstone Kim' and 'Bad Luck Chuck' escaping the coppers.

[notgrande]

[ "mister" gets a little giggle out of him - he doesn't get that very often!

Oh - we love a great story about outlaws who manage to find their way. I can't say I've heard of any of them.

[historicallyloaded]

The song's ending is left a bit ambiguous to be fair, as they declare to go out swinging but I like to think they make their escape to plunder another day.

Doesn't that sort of life of excitement and daring-do just thrill you?

[bythewaves]

Another bard, eh? Well met!

[ Maglor looks interested ]

It has been a while since I have had new songs to learn - I certainly would not mind an exchange of music.

[notgrande]

The music of Teyvat is beautiful and varied, I should imagine it is from other worlds, too! I'd be glad to exchange.
