Summer of ’99 In the summer of 1799, John Cummings, a 23-year old American sailor, crewed on a ship to France. The Mountebank’s Nefarious Influence Stationed there, he witnessed a mountebank pretending to swallow knives in a circus near Havre de-Grace. An Astonishing Claim The sailors returned to the ship after the show was over; most had had too much to drink that night. While discussing the…

@tosxah a starter for the upcoming holidays?

For the whole day, the small items in her bag had been weighing heavier than usual as she carried them around throughout whatever that improvised date was that she had asked him out for. Or perhaps the aftermath of the recent fights against the Abyss had exhausted her more than she wanted to admit to herself.

As for her reason for a short trip to Fontaine, she put it as a "returned favour after that little date in Liyue" Childe had taken her out for what now felt like ages ago.

He was still in Fontaine, practically packed to return back to his homeland. She had done a detour after the first events in Natlan, knowing that the day after she was supposed to be on her way back to the pyro nation to keep her promise; end a terrible war that had been plaguing that land, protect those who had been fighting for decades against a cursed bloody faith.

Certain scars were not meant to be patched up but burned instead.

She sat on his bed, her boots laying not too far, her toes wiggling to stretch them after another long day on her feet. It was something silly, and yet she suddenly felt unbelievably nervous as she held the few small packages on her hands.

A wrapping paper of a deep blue colour found back in Sumeru protected the small gifts, the textured material adorned with intricate golden patterns and scented perfumes familiar to that nation. The thin threads weaved in Natlan from skilled hands, crimson like his scarf and silver like the metal around his vision, were keeping together the small wrapped items.

Her heart might have been even more weary than her muscles right now as she finally decided to pull them out of her bag.

"The holidays are coming soon, I forgot to ask if you and your family celebrate them in Snezhnaya." Her hands raised as an offer for him to take the packages. "I thought it would still be best to give you these now before I have to make my way back to Natlan. I'm not sure when I'd be free again, after all." The golden in her eyes was dimmer in the room, but always vibrant even in the darkest of nights. No one knew what they would be truly facing down in that darkness that reeked of death and fear, but she was ready for anything, even face hell itself if it meant she could help.

"It's nothing fancy, but when I saw them... It made me think of you." She explained in all of her honesty, her fingers now playing with the fabric of her skirt.

It was exactly 4 hand crafted wooden keychains she bought a while back in Mondstadt: respectively a narwhal for Childe, one fox shaped for Teucer, a princess looking figure for Tonya and an owl for Anton.

There was a small note added on Childe's gift, her delicate hand writing gracing it:

'Plutôt qu'être seul, mieux vaut être mal accompagné'

a saying she has heard back in Fontaine: 'better than alone, is to be in bad company'.

"I thought it would be nice for you, Teucer, Tonya, and Anton to have matching charms. So even when you're miles away from home, you won't feel too distant from them because it will always remind you they're never too far. That you're not alone." Her smile was warm, delicate like moonlight in a summer night.

"And well, you also won't forget I gave you this awesome narwhal charm. When you'll feel lonely, you'll be reminded of the amazing travaler and her extremely generous heart." She teased, despite basically admitting she didn't mind being in his thoughts too.

"However, I don't mean to overstep," she added quickly. "I'd understand if you think your siblings might not even want anything of this like."

She just wanted to leave something behind to him, she was confident on the outcome of the war in Natlan's favour. But every war didn't come without price, and she really wasn't sure what cost she'd have to pay for it. The same way her brother did, she was prepared. How much she could lose from it though, she did not know yet. No, we will come back victorious and no one, no one will die.

what symbols/motifs do you associate each of the OFMD characters with? preferably a different one for each character, and something simple!

(ie izzy with swallows & spades, stede with lighthouses, etc etc etc)

[metanarrates]

(in the voice of a guy who already knows the answer to this question) favorite princess? favorite princess (insert preferred honorific here)

very predictably it's the thorn. she's got betrayal she's got romance she's got a flower motif she's got the ability to break an eternal cage of cyclical violence by choosing to trust each other. route that was tailor made to appeal to ME

I know guys usually say this about girls but - the damn clown is so cute when he's upset.

I wanna smush his schmink and poke and pester that overblown ego of his into a balloon animal.
