The door opens up and a Fatui Agent comes into the shop, a flat, white package in their hands. A Hydro Visions hangs from their hips, sometimes visible when the coat flapped open. The waiter was busy serving a table and a certain Harbinger was not in sight.
Looking around the shop, they finally spot the Owner sitting by the counter. They stop for a moment, seemingly bewildered, before they resume their stride and bow before the woman.
"Miss Rin? My name is Varley. Lady Secretary sends her regards, but is unable to come today. The Lady noticed that your health was...damaged and instructed me to deliever a few remedies, including vitamines from the Pharmacy and a In-House Tea-Supplement to boost your elemental energy."
*Varley lays the package in your hands, their hands carefully not making contact with your skin.*
They bow again and stride out of the shop, hastening their steps. A few seconds later, a crash and loud cursing was heard. A figure speed away, just a shadow, but blood flowed freely from an injured arm, splattering the street outside.
"I guess we were right?"
"...Yes, Lady Secretary."
"Sighh...Go get treated at Med Bay and join your twin at their research."
Were he not the Geo Archon, the Geo Energy would have been completely eroded in her body it seems.
[ Inside the package, hidden near the Tea-Supplement, was a tiny folded paper with a Snowflake attached to it. It felt cold to the touch, like ice cream. It can fit inside your hand perfectly.]
[Break in case of Emergency. It should help you to get away. Hunting down the Geo Archon.
The northern Bank is always open for you.
Belial]
"huh? oh! thank you?"
meirin blinked as she stared for a few moment at the package. even as the strange person walked away, so many questions popped inside her mind. carefully, she opened the package and checked all the items closely. they all seemed expensive and carefully selected.
her fingers brushed against the small paper and unfolded it, frowning when the strangely cold snowflake dropped onto her palm.
for a moment, she looked utterly bewildered as her eyes skimmed over the content.
'belial'.
......
whー oh!
"hmmm..."
i should remember to treat her to a cup of tea the next time she comes by.... but why would she say all these things?
i don't even have a connection with any archons?
.....
she decided to pocket the strange snowflake for now.

I'm primarily a Mephiro shipper but I know you like MephAmaiRin and I'm curious about how you feel about your OT3 in these scenarios: 9, 27, 29, 31, 36 and 45 (This is for that "Send me a ship and a number and I'll tell you" ship post) and sorry I know it was supposed to be one number but I was curious about all of these haha
I will also gladly do a mephiro too ;D don’t hold back, I’m a multi-shipper at heart. But hell yeah ot3 :D
9. Do they discuss big issues? Religion? Marriage? Children? Death?
-Religion probably not, or in the vein of what goes on in canon so it’s nbd to any of them. Marriage, Rin is pretty much well if they’re happy with whatever we���ve got going on, it’s cool (tho he’d also be thrilled for an actual wedding, if only as a reason to get all his friends/family around for a celebration bc he’s sociable like that). But it’s right up there with the “love” topic and something Rin edges around bc he knows they’re not quite ready to hear that stuff. Children never really come up bc Rin doesn’t realize it’s even an option (tho given certain demons’ shapeshifting abilities~). And again, all things human concerns so Mephisto/Amaimon don’t look at them the same way Rin does so when the topics do come up, it’s usually Rin being the odd one out with his human upbringing making something like death more of a big deal. Mephisto knows to handle heavy topics a bit more delicately in a way that Rin understands if only bc he’s used to humanity by now. (I could write like an essay on how they each approach these topics and heavy issues in general but I just realized how many questions I have to get thru yet XD).
27. Do they have kids? Grow old together? Split up?
--I see Rin either adopting various strays he’s picked up and imprinted on over the years and Mephisto/Amaimon just huff and accept that they’re gonna have to share Rin’s attention with others. (Tho again, fun with shapeshifting vessels means I’d get to play with the ot3 and their horrible eldritch abominations/children and Rin being trailed by a flock of monsters he refers to as his babies lol). I tend to take that Rin’s demon heart makes him more like a demon king/satan than a typical nephilim that only live for 200 years so they definitely grow “old” together in a sense of the word lol But for splitting up, I’d say that in the end, it becomes a good-natured relationship between them and Rin throughout the ages. They might spend some centuries closer than others, and some more apart as they enjoy their various hobbies but never really “break up”.
29. How do they handle disasters or emergencies? Minor injuries? Sickness?
--Oooh well they’re really going thru it rn in canon XD So much like that, Mephisto’s probably got a plan, Amaimon’s a one-demon battering ram, and Rin is out there in the middle of things totally clueless but ready to throw hands  lmao Minor injuries are made a big fuss of by Mephisto for himself, those giant bandaids and requests for someone to kiss his owies better while Amaimon just stares into the camera like he’s on the office and Rin sighs and complies. Sickness is just an excuse for attention and they all take advantage of it since it happens so rarely (if ever, do we even know if demons can contract an illness? Maybe a demonic one like I did for the Quarantine Au lol). Thus, Rin becomes a living space heater and provider of hot soup, Amaimon is there with the absentminded hair brushing and tea, and Mephisto is awful but he might carry them to bed or help them take a bath/order Belial to give them a bath when he’s especially lazy lmao
31. Do they finish each other’s sentences? Pick up any phrases or habits from each other? Know when the other is hiding something?
--Rin and Mephisto are kings of being teasing shitheads to each other and definitely not above poking at inside jokes or little things like finishing sentences. Amaimon picks up habits all the time, constantly watching Rin/Mephisto bc he’s curious about the things they’re interested in and why. Rin is a terrible liar and they both know when he’s hiding anything, rip to him lmao Though they might guess he’s hiding something, but not what and he surprises them all the time. Amaimon is another open book, but only bc he doesn’t see the point in lying and will be blunt about most things or clam up and not say anything when he doesn’t want to answer. Annnd Mephisto is a horrible/perennial liar and at this point it’s safer to assume he’s hiding something than not. Tho he rarely fully lies, preferring to lie with the truth or let ppl lie to themselves. Rin/Amaimon are used to picking out when he’s masking things he’d rather not talk about, tho cornering him is the tricky part.
36. What’s their greatest strength as a couple? Their weakness?
--These guys are a power ot3 100% :D Rin doesn’t humanize them so much as bring out the best aspects of them, and they repay it with meeting him halfway. It’s all about getting Rin to recognize his role as Satan’s nephil/ the new godking of gehenna while also accepting the human piece of Rin and accommodating it into their lives. Their weakness is definitely that Mephisto refuses to let anyone really know his plans, and those can be unintentionally self-destructive, plus he tends to displace all his stress onto Amaimon as a convenient punching bag and Rin isn’t cool with that. They’re all incredibly stubborn too, so arguments aren’t always about changing each other’s minds, so much as letting them know what they’re going to do and doing it anyway.
45. Any special dreams or goals they have as a couple? Any heartbreaks? Regrets?
--Annnnd last question~ This is fun lol Mephisto just wants what he always has, to have the freedom to play with his sandbox/Assiah without someone trying to take his toys away or mess with them, as long as he has that, he’s happy playing with his toys and enjoying the excitement Rin and Amaimon bring to his life. Rin mostly just wants to explore the world (I’m thinking end of the series he goes off and takes Amaimon with to see all the cool places he’s always wanted to travel to, possibly picking up new cooking techniques along the way lol). He probably sticks around as paladin and mephisto sends him on fun missions to pick up haunted dolls for his prank collection XD They live it day by day, eternity makes it less crucial to have an end goal. Tho Rin’s biggest goal is to get them to the point where they can hear him say love without it making them act weird lol Heartbreaks probably come into play when the people closest to Rin begin to die from old age, leaving Rin to come to terms with it. Mephisto/Amaimon can logic it out why he’s upset, and they’ve seen enough humans die/react to death that they understand it’s difficult for them, but they still lack the compassion/sympathy to really help him and he’d have to do the emotional brunt work.
Ooh man this ended up long lmao There’s so much more to add too T.T
Thanks for the ask~ @entitycreation

┋ The Steambird Issue No.517
article commissioned by the fontaine steambird magazine and written by ✾ mei/rin ✾
Tumblr media
[Breaking News!] Our Fontaine gadget makers did it again, folks!
A collaboration project between Fontaine's best gadget makers and the scholars at Sumeru Akademiya has resulted in a prototype device inspired by the now-obsolete AKASHA system.
Not many details have been revealed, but as the scholars described it, they are aiming to use the concept of AKASHA to create a virtual space, called TeyvaTweets, where people can communicate with one another without seeing each other's faces! Yes - much quite like a communication device, but one that utilizes text instead of the usual verbal methods of communication.
A few selected testers have been invited to try it out, and if you're one of the lucky ones - congratulations! We look forward to seeing how this new technology will help connect people across Teyvat.
Tumblr media
——————————⟡⟡⟡ ✉️ ⟡⟡⟡——————————
Dear <USER>,
𝒞ongratulations! You have been selected to help with testing out the fruits of our labor, here at the Sumeru-Fontaine collaboration project. Enclosed is the device containing the application: TeyvaTweets. Have fun perusing it, and we look forward to your feedback.
⧽ [ Turn on the device ]         [ Leave it off ]
ps. user manual and warnings attached on a separate page.
Tumblr media
𝚄𝚜𝚎𝚛 𝙼𝚊𝚗𝚞𝚊𝚕 𝚟𝟷.𝟶.
you should be able to open it using both phone and pc (it's just a normal website).
Tumblr media
clicking on pfp/name/username in a tweet (orange box) will open the profile of that person. clicking the 'x' icon on the popup box's top right side will close the user profile.
clicking the tweet on the main page will open the tweet's replies thread. clicking the back button will bring you back to the main page.
𝚆𝚊𝚛𝚗𝚒𝚗𝚐��.
there are suggestive contents inside, but nothing explicit.
some of you make cameos under other people's tweets too! see if you can spot yourself ;)
there's a lot of images for this one so the page might load slowly for you, especially if your internet isn't fast. i'm also using a free hosting service from GitHub, so yeah.
in order to indulge everyone, please pretend the tweet reply threads that 'overlap' with one another is a separate world on their own (e.g. if multiple people are flirting with a character and they flirt back in the reply thread don't point fingers and say that they're unfaithful / is cheating / ruin someone else's fun in general ;;;)
tested on chrome & safari web browsers on a mac and iphone + google pixel. crossing my fingers that it works on other devices too...
created for 𝓏𝒽𝑜𝓃𝑔𝓇𝒾𝓃'𝐬 𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐞 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭 (submissions are closed)
might make a y/n-ify version of this in the future bc my brain accidentally fleshed out a whole concept of how it would work, but don't count me on that bc it's gonna take a lot more effort than this and honestly idk if it's even worth it-

"Oh at least she is sleeping. I do hope she sleeps in her bed and not on a chair at her table."
*drops the tea cup on the saucer but careful as to not break the cup and looks with disdain at the tea*
"On that note, please bring this letter to Rin when you have time, seeing as the shop is filled these days. And please get me something to eat."
*the letter is cold to the touch and when one looks at it in detail, frostlines become visible on one corner, spiraling into beautiful designs. It doesn't melt, even when getting into contact with human warmth.*
Darling,
I have received reports on a certain collegue of mine visiting you sometimes with no company of possible...friends of his. If he is a distraction to your work (he certainly was to mine with his chic unique handwriting) just say the word and I will have a few words with him.
I do hope you have enough rest? You work all day and even at night. It is not healthy, please take enough breaks.
Coviello is a dear and is slowly getting accustomated to your rattle of customers, I think.
On to the heart of the topic, I am getting a dejavu these days - your husband not near you and another man comes into your life? Is this another chalk incident? Do you still have your Geo Vision?
I do hope tomorrow I could see you in person and have a talk with you. I would hate to bother you at night, but if I need to, I will.
With best regards
Belial
"Ah...," Coviello decided to not comment on that, and decided to accept the letter. With one last nod, they went to fetch her one of the classic opera cake on the display, before delivering the letter.
Tumblr media
"Miss, may I come in?"
"Mmhm..."
Coviello entered the office and frowned. Whatever she was working on right now, it didn't look like an official paperwork...
"A letter from your friend, Miss."
"Hmm? .... Ah, this must be Belial...."
"Yes."
Coviello observed as she opened the letter, her expression changing from a small frown to a sheepish grin. At one point, she lightly touched the Geo Vision hanging on her belt, and she set to write down a response at once. Though she yawned and blinked sleepily every now and then, she managed to somehow finish the letter and handed it to Coviello.
"Give this to her, okay? Also.... I think I'll turn in early today. You can close up shop, yes?"
"Of course, Miss...."
don't worry, childe has been super nice and helpful, actually. sometimes he drops by in the morning to force me to eat lol you're right. i'll try to rest more. i just miss i've just been feeling restless recently. but don't worry too much about me! i'll be fine. hahahah please, why is everyone so worried? everything's fine, really. and yes, i have my vision with me. i'll be sure to drop by tomorrow! - meirin
