the young woman sure is very mysterious, almost making him wonder even more. humans are quite enigmatic && he can never surely pinpoint what's on their minds. not all the time, at least... such curiosity she is sparking in the shrine priest, yet in the end, Kabukimono simply decides to respect her && not pry further. she really looks in need of peace && some company, perhaps to fight whatever demons rest on her exhausted heart. ❛ I am a good listener. if there is anything worrying you, you could tell me. ❜ Kabukimono replies with a reassuring smile — so true && honest, never touched by the same corruption that had befallen parallel counterparts. one that she'd never seen on the Harbinger so despised... && what followed in this delightful moment, is a warm hand that decided to turn around && accept her touch. even more — hold that delicate palm in his own. like a good friend should.. ❛ may I know your name at least, Miss? ❜
pools of green offer reflection for the other's appearance, sparkling with magics of none other than a hydromancer in training. traveling amongst timelines, careful to not disturb the fates in place was the single most important rule when it came to her and her master's craft. to only bestow readings was the purpose, preventing these threads from becoming it's woven destiny was deeply forbidden. the reincarnations of her soul bled into one mage into the next, similar in appearance but different roles throughout history. mona was thankful to be tied to him. there was a faint sense of familiarity in the star studded link that made her heart hopeful of a brighter future than what fate plagues. " it's... a long story. i'd love to elaborate, maybe one day. but for now ... this silence is fine, too." sadness makes her voice shake in soft spoken words quiet enough to be carred away in a simple breeze ; almost wishing upon a fallen star to allow her to cherish this moment for even a moment longer. without hestitation or overthinking the situation, mona's hand lies upon his own in a subtle reach for affection.

curious eyes are gazing at the source of a sudden sound. echoing in the gardens, it is quite easy to spot the culprit but indentifying the creature? now that is impossible for him. all that Kabukimono can tell, is that the machine lurking out is very much the very same Ruin Machines that roam his very islands... there are here too, it would seem. && thankfully nobody really comes around at night unless they are desperate enough for the last minute research. the Forest Rangers told him that.
Kabukimono leans from across one of the pillars across the big greenhouse to observe the robot. to determine whether it was programmed to identify people as threats or capable of communicating in some way. though so far talking sense to the Ruin Machines remained unsuccessful, the puppet hasn't given up on trying yet. as a peaceful problem solving is all he truly wanted in life. would this time be the exception he's been patiently awaiting?

Sumeru City is much more lively after dusk compared to Inazuma... the people here enjoy the warm evenings, they attend taverns && walk down the streets. they indulge in company instead of seeking tranquility && solitude. 'way more open than my homeland', Kabukimono relates to himself while strolling down the Treasures Street. he was unsure where would he have the pleasure to spend the following night && rest from the long journey, but it frightened him not. not with that starry sky && the glorious moon shining down. the rainforest, too, fills him with too much awe. perhaps slips an idea or two about the possible station.
though a lone character in the city, Kabukimono could pretty much feel the vitality && unison of the people — no matter the affiliation. so are the taverns, for example. with outside tables taken && curious eyes gazing at him, the shrine priest instinctively straightens his blessed robes to make sure they aren't dusty nor wrinkly before entering further... after all, the bartender should know the city best, yes? they could be in a good mood today as their business is booming. Kabukimono hopes this could manifest into some information about a possible abandoned property or share information about the tents in the woods. some belonged to the Treasure Hoarders, some to the Fatui, but the ones crafted so expertly from leaves? with no emblems adorning them, perhaps nobody would be upset if he spent the night underneath one of such crafts.
such were the reasons for his appearance there, && much to his luck, the opportunity to learn more was at his hand. all asked of him was to await someone named Jafar, which Kabukimono had taken as a good sign. looks like he will be helped after all! so, to not take too much space in the busy establishment, the violet hues scans the surrounding area. he noticed @minban sitting alone at the table. seemingly indulging in both alcohol && some ... tea? seemed very warm && polite, still aware of his surroundings. overall — Kabukimono deemed him a good person. ❛ excuse me, Sir? ❜ the shrine priest politely leans in with a shy smile, a hand touching upon his chest. ❛ would you mind if I sat here for a brief moment? I promise not to be of bother. ❜

how strange. looks like the ronin doesn't have the answer either.. perhaps it is better to go back to Kazuha later. though one matter remains mysterious. ❛ hm? is it not a cat's name?? ❜ he asks, head tiling to the side. ❛ is it a kodama's name then? you're worrying me, Tomoya-san. && if Kazuha doesn't know either.. could the spirit be using him to mask it's presence? ❜ the gongūji gasps suddenly. ❛ or are you possessed?? ❜
kabu vc : tomo-san! how does leafussy look like? kazu-chan said to ask you.
SILENCE. They don't say a single thing. A nervous laugh follows after and for a moment the ronin contemplates leaving the scene with nothing more than shame in their face. ❝ That's a. . . . ❞ But as always, they are EXPECTED to solve his doubts. ❝ Well, it's something that looks like. . . ❞ Tomoya doesn't have the heart to say it, even less to describe it as inquired. ❝ You know, you should take that question back to Kazu - chan. I - I am just as clueless as you !! ❞ LIAR. But this trick of theirs helps them DODGE the bullet on time. This is KAZUHA'S PROBLEM, not theirs.

"you're lucky you only got away with just a scratch" / from scaramouche
sigh ... is it luck at this point? Kabukimono couldn't tell. he's visibly disassossiated from his company's scowling for recklessness. all he can think about is how to protect the Sakura's roots from further attacks of the strange, mangled wolves. the shrine priest is needed around in many places as only a spare few know how to fight && how to mend the bark... despite the threat of the Abyss seeping into his husk, someone has to fulfull those duties, no? && protect the people of Inazuma. ❛ my thanks, Kuronushi-sama. I'm... sorry to have worried you. ❜

oh, what a delight! @noctuafought sure is lucky to have such a hoard all to himself. if being the Pyro Archon ensured to have so many delightful creatures around, Kabukimono would gladly not mind being constructed by another. although kitsune && tanuki are darling to have around, after coming to Fontaine his preference in creatures may had shifted. after all, how could he not admit to fall for saurians so adorable?
having a natural bond between Electro && Dendro, perhaps he'd get along with the little baby more easily! though unable to take it with himself, the puppet chose this specific saurian friend. thus they will grow to be best friends, hopefully! ❛ Natlan is so beautiful. so warm && friendly too! Master Diluc must take good care of the nation therefore it's so lovely here. ❜

chaos surges through the veins of Inazuma, each day reaping rewards. the Visions are but flowers falling with sickles waving around, leave people in shambles && disbelief for their deity's actions. the prayers reflect just how much they are confused && hurt. with this crisis of faith, some unruly Yōkai may be born. some may even return, to participate in the sorrow && cultivate it like weeds in the garden of her Excellency the Narukami Oogosho... he mustn't let that happen! the times are already dire on the front && his help is more needed than ever before with unknown party constantly devastating the protective wards established by the Grand Narukami Shrine — little holy shrines, essential in maintaining the Tatarigami on Yashiori Island. so very close to the people of Watatsumi && the soldiers stationed in Kannazuka... the situation between the islands becomes more heated witch each passing day.
❛ forgive me, Lord Kamisato, but I did not come here to bargain. ❜ the gongūji clarifies, his gaze usually so soft now focused && fortified. he cannot turn his back on the suffering of the people... even if not the rightful ruler, he is nevertheless a kami. the lightning answers to him as well... but to go against the protector of Inazuma, to change her mind, is a task only humans could unite in. it has to be their decision && their will. Kabukimono can only offer his services, as despite everything, he is nothing more than another servant of Inazuma && the Archon herself. ❛ the Mighty Narukami Oogosho isn't our enemy, I'm sure of it.. just like the people I cannot hope to understand the motives of our Shogun, let alone influence change... even Gūji Yae's sacred presence is not enough to change our god's mind. ❜
Kabukimono then touches upon his chest, right where the golden feather befalls — the beloved possession bestowed upon him by his Creator. ❛ I wish not to ask for the Clan's blade, my Lord. the solution is too extreme && the matter — too delicate to handle with a katana. Lady Sangonomiya had already chosen to follow such path by rebelling && offering shelter to those against the Shogunate... ❜ the fingers clench suddenly, his thoughts perhaps straying towards a matter somewhat painful to him in particular... ❛ I wish to extend my help if needed, Lord Kamisato. though the Grand Narukami Shrine cannot interfene in our Archon's wishes, I cannot stay idle when the people I love suffer... I wish to be of use to you. do whatever is in my power to end this war && abolish the decrees. ❜

[ forehead ] (*grabs the mic and proceeds to yell into it*)
the short puppet had no time to react when something wet pressed against his head . he is looking up at Itto, so confused && touches upon the spot . almost like a surprised cat . certainly didn't mind it, simply haven't expected Itto to aim for his head again. ❛ please be careful, Itto-san . you're really strong . ❜

&& so the he-puppet had stayed to listen , his change of heart more evident after proper wording . what followed immediately made him feel acknowledged && comforted . the newly-met bard wasn't deemed as a bad person either . truthfully? it is difficult to annoy Kabukimono && discourage him from a conversation , yet certainly would try again later . see whether any person would change their stance . it made him joyful that the bard did && so , graces him with a reassuring smile . ❛ no harm done . ❜
then , presses his hand against the fairly clad chest && explains the long awaited reason for his appearance in these foreign corners of the world . ❛ people call me ' Kabukimono ' . I came to Mondstadt to ask the Anemo Archon or the local authorities for guidance on my quest . ❜
ah ... the others reaction brings forth a sudden realisation in him , only now does he stop to consider how his actions might come across . rude , confusing , with no care to boundaries --- even with so many years under his belt ... the divide between himself and others shines in his actions , his way of speaking . he is not as well versed in being a normal human as he would like , odd and difficult to truly understand .
" wait ! " venti holds his hands in front of himself , he hangs his head in guilt : a plea , or maybe a prayer . " please , accept my apologies . i forgot my manners in my excitement ... that was no way to greet a new friend from a foreign land ! i hope it doesn't reflect too poorly on your views on mondstadt overall , my actions are , of course , mine alone . " and there's no one else quite like him ... no one with so much curiosity , paired with knowledge that stretches as far as the wind blows .
" might we start again ? but if you'd prefer to not , i understand . it ... isn't very often i'm met with important guests from afar like yourself , here in mondstadt . "

❛ the... Great Mujina Yokai? ❜ Kabukimono asks curiously though with an audible dose of uncertainty. as the assistant shrine priest with centuries of experience behind his belt, he is familiar with all kinds of supernatural && spirits in Inazuma. but this is the very first time to hear about such a monstrosity. is it dangerous or misunderstood? Kabukimono seems like wishing to meet it. ❛ I'm not sure where to find it but you may count on me, @devourens! I will make sure no harm happens to anyone, the children especially! I will appreciate your help in the investigation but please do remember we have rules to follow at the Grand Narukami Shrine. we must make sure to protect the people first. ❜ this will call for some blessed omamori.

the visit in Mondstadt hasn't been really pushing his quest forward, at least not as far as he'd hope so! though the first on his road for answers, Kabukimono finds himself utterly confused as to where could he meet the Archon of Freedom. though the people seem to be always talking about praising the one called Barbatos, they aren't really keen on saying wherever should the shrine priest look for him. && no matter if just common people or the nuns at the Church — both fractions seem equally unable to give any real answers! after talking so much about worship, Kabukimono would never consider they mean it ironically.
the common people either are busy walking around or drinking, the nuns have no answers && before he could meet with the Acting Grandmaster, a woman with very familiar aura came around to pinch his cheeks! with no affiliation to him what-so-ever too!! so Kabukimono did what he had to && that was to flee from the scene to find the Anemo Archon himself. though Creator never mentioned nor talked about Barbatos before, the puppet is sure to be able to recognize them when in sight.
... but whom he hadn't expected to meet in Mondstadt was the one carrying the Pyro Authority! so mighty && strong the puppet was afraid of the overload if coming close. && that man works with alcohol too?! isn't that playing with danger?? forget Mondstadt being the last place to meet the Pyro Archon at — a tavern is the last place he expected him to be! honestly! when the commoners told him 'the Archon hides in every drink' this is seriously not what he had expected to see. nor getting weird looks when questions with the honorific of 'Pyro Archon' dropped. which confused him even more! but those were the rocky beginnings between the two. other than to seek Barbatos, Kabukimono would never be found any close to wine or cocktails.
meeting @noctuafought sure wasn't perfect or planned so soon, but an Archon is an Archon! && it's better to find him here than to travel so far just to leave with no help nor conversation carried out. in the end Kabukimono was thankful for this encounter && revealed the true reason of his planned audience with the rest of the Seven. having his love taken away from him so brutally must had left any form of traces, so whole some Archon could help solving the centuries-old mystery, Diluc was asked specifically what should Kabukimono do when encoutering the one responsible for Niwa's murder. && thus began their relation.
until one day, on a day filled with flowers && wine, would people just start giving him stuff — letters && bouquets! namely young women && the nice librarian lady, some younger men at the adventurers' guild too! by the dinnertime, the poor puppet is already drowning in petals && scented envelopes. the worst thing being? he cannot tell just why is he suddenly so high-regarded in Mondstadt! so to seek answers, a local was needed. one that Kabukimono didn't fear of asking.
&& so he comes in, dragging a fragrance like spring meadows into the house where dandelions rule. he looked quite pitiful && severely dumbfounded. ❛ Master Diluc— the people are acting odd! ❜ the beautiful puppet reports. this seemed to have prompted the Archon incognito to move from behind the counter. ❛ I haven't done anything && yet they seem to give me many gifts? is that a custom to welcome newcomers? should I buy something for them too? ❜ then, suddenly, as his eyes so violet scanned through the letters pushed into his hands, fingers collect his chin && pull it up.
Kabukimono was still processing the kiss that was pressed just now to his lips && as then given a shiny box of sweetly smelling treats crowned with one last kiss to the cheek? he is beyond confused && downright lost.

❛ here, you look like you're freezing. ❜ Wriothesley drapes his coat onto Kabu’s shoulders @allxgene
upon the contact with the heavy coat , Kabukimono swings a bit , struggling to adapt to a piece of clothing so massively outsizing him . he could easily be swallowed by the Duke's wardrobe if the stance , though visibly struggling , fell out of balance . the little gongūji chuckles nervously , yet nods as well in gratitude . ❛ thank you , Sir . being away from the sky , underwater . . . it makes me a little worried . ❜ so much so his own temperature drops . though , perhaps it is for the better too . Kabukimono rather not cause any of the walls to crack . . . as to whether he is capable of such thing , in moments of doub t, anything bad isn't off the table.
