『 crystallize commission ── og soda vs knockoff brand civil war 』
THE DIRECTOR recognizes the curiosity in GUINAIFEN'S stare, not offended in the least. He'd love to interview her about her usual work, but knowing how these corporate sponsors go, she'll have to follow her script adequately to receive her remuneration... The questions will simply have to be saved for the end!
Ever attentive, he chuckles at her pun and offers her a golf clap at the end of the pitch.
"Bravo! You have the enthusiasm of a natural born street performer! Your own 'joy' is quite authentic, convincing me, a prospective buyer, of your faith in the product~"
Though, is shaking carbonated beverages a good idea? THE DIRECTOR reserves his judgment on that creative decision, taking a bottle of the untouched citrus flavor. He studies the label.
"Mm, the names..."
THE DIRECTOR taps a gloved finger on the bottle's cap. THE ASSISTANT DIRECTOR turns her gaze to him, hand to chin, silently offering her own opinion.
"They're going for a clear theme--wordplay based off the brand name. Certainly a bold move; they'd have to secure trademarks for each variant. I can feel the 'push' behind the marketing, the hopes of a smaller company looking to pierce a competitive environment..."
A pause. He glances to one side, then the other. He lowers his voice, his smile creeping into a smirk.
"...And perhaps a bit of desperation, yearning to be remembered, ahah~"
He pops off the top, pointing to GUINAIFEN and bringing the bottle to his lips in the same motion. He poses his own questions before he takes his inaugural sip.
"Tell me, dear streamer actor, what is your opinion of SoulGlad? How will SoulJoy's introduction send waves through the soda market? What do you, our SoulJoy representative for this scene, see in its future?"
Depending on the following this talent has, her response could reach that very market itself.
"You have the enthusiasm of a natural born street performer!" the man says. Haha! Oh if only he knew that she was, in fact, a performer who's main stage is the streets. Maybe he does. Perhaps the man knows more than he lets on- or he's just that good at recognizing his "cast". Alas, as much as she'd like to call it out and keep the amusement rolling, she does have a job to do. She is a woman of integrity after all.. and bills to pay and siblings to care for.
❛ I genuinely find the SoulJoy delicious- both the original, and the alternate flavors they're making. I am a fan of tradition, as it is a lovely way to view the past and how people change as time goes on. ❜
The lass answer honestly, hands clasped together in front of her with her signature radiant smile on display.
❛ However, I am also a firm believer in not letting the past hold you back from growing and reaching your potential. And I find that very belief to be a strong influence in those behind the creation of SoulJoy. Not to throw direct shade at a competitor, but from what I recall, they have never shown interest in adjusting their base formula. By that I mean that they don't branch out and try new things- such as a variety of flavors to widen your reach as a brand to attract all kinds of tastes. ❜
Her smile softens, a tad less bright and far more relaxed and professional.
❛ Their products are well-crafted, and they have a very clear idea of how they want to grow. I fully believe they have the means to do so. Besides- who doesn't want to leave a lasting impression on the cosmos to be remembered by? ❜
She turns just slightly to the side so she can extend her hand towards the table, reaching out to grab a bottle with an oddly clear looking liquid sloshing around inside the glass. Professional expression vanishes in favor of her more natural pep and playfulness as she presents the bottle before her.
❛ If you were feeling so bold, might I interest you in my personal favourite new flavor they've created? ❜
Guinaifen prompts, subtly bouncing the glass in her hands with an almost mischievous grin- pointedly not explaining what kind of flavor the drink was, nor it's name. A game favored towards the adventurous.
[MAN’S BEST FRIEND] - Like any city’s streets, Soaring Heights is littered with a multitude of wanderers. This includes more than a handful of dogs, cats, pigeons, and even the rumored horse or two can be found in the most surprising of places. Most of them are friendly, probably, so how about you try your luck and make a new friend?
"Buzz off already! Can't you find someone else to bother?"
It was hard not to notice the strange youth wandering the streets of Soaring Heights who was being followed by a small gaggle of animals. Stray cats and dogs walked with him merrily, looking up at him with adorable eyes. He felt that they were expecting something of him. In reality, they just enjoyed his company.
"Ugh…"
Why did this always happen? The Wanderer just wanted to check out some local eateries, and now he had a whole menagerie. He gritted his teeth and flitted up to a nearby rooftop, sticking his tongue out at the mammals he had left behind.
…Then, a pigeon landed on his hat. He growled and swatted at it, but once he put his arms down, it was back there again, cooing, undeterred. Frustrated and defeated, he looked back out at the street, only to notice a certain red-haired girl holding up a rectangular thing…a phone, wasn't it? The vagrant youth was still unfamiliar with such devices, but--wait, didn't they have something like a kamera in them?
"Hey! Hey, are you recording me?! Cut it out!" he called out to her. The dogs on the sidewalk wagged their tails at him.
find your place in paradise 2(6)/5 | still accepting!
When is Guinaifen without her phone- without her recording gear? Never! Inspiration can happen at a moments notice, or the perfect shot can happen when you aren't prepared- so she will make sure she has the highest chance to be prepared. For the content!
So it is any surprise that when the performer watches a boy(?) walking down the street with an army of animals at his beck and call ( or maybe not, considered the rather annoyed expression the raven wears ) that Lil Gui would pull out her phone and press Record? It's like watching a scene out of some fairytail novel- but in real life!
She gets caught staring recording ( of course she does ) and that seems to make the fairytail prince(ess) more flustered and annoyed as he calls out in a gruff to end the video. As if she's letting this opportunity slip away-
❛ Sorry, sorry! Can't help it, those little critters just look so cute trotting along behind you! ❜
The redhead laughs as she crouches down low, knees bent as she turns the camera to focus on the animals down on street level than the man himself ( at least a sort of compromise to not record [ him ] ). The critters eye Guinaifen, even showing brief interest in her phone though don't move passed where the man is still seated on the roof- staring at him with happy tail wags. So damn cute!
❛ What sort of magic spell are you casting, good sir? Care to share with an animal lover? ❜
[WATERFALL] -- It takes the bravest of hearts to jump from so high, but all hazards have been carefully removed to make for only the safest leap of faith down the rapids. Take the plunge, or shove someone else into taking it!
Seele hadn't understood just how scary heights appeared to be. She never really cared all that much before -- to stand atop a roof or look down from far away was something normal for her. She stalked the roofs of Belobog to watch over its people, to ensure safety above all else.
However, when you're staring down from a really high waterfall, and being recorded all the while...
Words of encouragement rang from behind her, as she turned to be face to face with Guinaifen's camera and gaze. She had run into the streamer while hiking in Eco Park, and before Seele could offer an awkward greeting (after all, the last time she saw her in person was at the Lantern Rite...and Seele had found herself becoming a massive fan of Guinaifen since then) she was very swiftly pulled to the waterfall to partake in a test of courage.
Seele was even given a set of swimwear and everything for the test. All she had to do was jump. But the act itself was horrifying -- what if she had some sort of mishap when she came into contact with the water? What if she landed wrong? What if everything that could go wrong, went wrong???
So, shakily, and with an awkward laugh to boot, Seele turned to face Guinaifen, her awkward expressions being caught on camera. " Haha...hey, are you sure we gotta do this...???? What if your streaming equipment breaks in the water??? " A lame excuse, but a reasonable one too.
Because what if the camera breaks in the water?
find your place in paradise 1(5)/5 | still accepting!
What's better than going on a cliff dive? Going on a cliff dive twice! Perhaps there is a little bit of a daredevil lingering under her performer skin, but after already trying it out once with HuoHuo the other day, Guinaifen can't help but come back for another round. It's not scary- not really ( only the tiniest bit )- but the temporary feeling of flight and the rush of water once you land can't be beat!
And what fate, how the stars align, as familiar deep violet hair come into view as she makes her way back up that mountain. Of course she's gonna drag her pal along to the cliffside and encourage her, just as she had her little green haired bestie, to take the leap.
Excited steps and a few tugs later, and Guinaifen already has her camera on ( she already had HuoHuo film her, she wants more than just herself going off to compile for her vlog later ) as she gives a few pats to the lass' back.
❛ Oh, don't you worry about that! Already tested it, and my gear is perfectly capable of handling this dive. Even if it doesn't- which it will- it's just equipment. Easily replaceable. ❜
While true it is, doesn't mean she'd necessarily be tossing her gear around without caution- all of it is expensive. But, that's also because she wanted it durable, so obviously that means it's going to cost more. A worthwhile investment.
❛ Sayy.. you can swim, right? ❜
When Seele doesn't respond, the redhead takes a logical guess that the woman hasn't. She withholds a sigh, trying to not feel too disappointed that she couldn't shove either of her girlies off into the waterfall ( she's not a [ evil ] criminal! ).
Guinaifen steps forward until she's side to side with her companion, extending out her hand that isn't still holding the camera up- though pointedly aimed towards the waterfall instead of the clearly uneasy woman.
❛ Why don't we go down together, then? I'll be your personal lifeguard at this.. uh- pond. ❜
Guinaifen has landed on Empyrea
What can she say, a celebrity must be fashionably late ( she got stuck doing promotional work and other prior commitments ). Now that she's here, she's ready to explore and relax!
She will start her trip at The Empyrean, wanting to enjoy the amenities, before moving on to go explore Soaring Heights. Who wouldn't want to go stream learn about the oldest district on the planet and talk to the locals?
Not participating in the lore ( obviously ) but will be accepting asks ( obviously ). Her outfit is placed below, and Guinaifen is quite proud of her sense of style- her status as a performer depends on being able to capture people's attention.
㏒ aw the catcakes and critters are so cute-- IS THAT GIANT A FLYING COCKROACH?!
『 abundance commission ── tales of the missing janitor 』
“Yes. Yes, it is.” Huohuo replies to Lil Gui, giving her a warm smile, before her eyes scan the spacious lobby that they stand at the entrance of. Taking everything in with a sense of uneasiness at the unfamiliarity of it all that had the foxian scooting closer to her red-haired friend, calming a bit at the other's presence beside her.
Ever since they both touched down on the Space Station, Huohuo has been nothing but one big ball of nerves that is about ready to implode upon itself. Don't get her wrong, she was excited when the Trailblazer reached out and asked for their aid with the Adoption Event. She was always ready to help a friend in need, but this was the farthest she has ever been away from home. Never in her life did she think she would ever take the chance to explore the stars beyond.
But life is full of unexpected surprises, is it not?
"True. It would not hurt to ask. I'm pretty sure they can guide us in the right direction." At that, they make their way to the help desk, where a blond gentleman greets them with a customer service smile.
"How may I help you ladies?"
"Oh um. We were told there was an adoption event happening on the Space Station, and we would like to know where that is located."
Suddenly, the once bustling desk fell eerily still as all three workers behind the desk stared at them with a range of different emotions that did not sit right with the foxian. She flicks her gaze to Guinaifen at the strange shift, before sending them back to the man.
"Did I say something wrong?"
"No! Not at all! It's just..." The blond haired man stops, seeming hesitant to answer Huohuo's questions. One of the other workers then pipe in to help.
"We are more than willing to help, but there have been some...less than ideal rumors circulating about the where the event is being held. Are you sure that is where you ladies are heading?"
❛ Rumors? ❜
Guinaifen prompts, eyes squinting in both confusion and faint curiosity.
❛ Yeah, rumors. Apparently, a janitor has been missing for about a week after going to work in the Seclusion Zone. Some say that the group of investigators saw large insects when they went down there to try and find the poor man. ❜
At that, Guinaifen's eyes widen- no, not in fear, but in pure thrill. What a scoop, what a scoop! Besides, she's handled Heliobi. Pretty sure "large bugs" aren't anything nearly as scary. ( Plus, think of the views! Traveler from afar finds missing local and traverses the terrifying "swarm" of bugs. Not to mention it might be good publicity for any remaining critters to possibly get adopted! )
Red eyes sparkle as the lass glances between the two desk clerks and her two companions.
❛ Apparently, there's also been a problem with trying to keep communications up when anyone goes there. ❜
The woman behind the desk chimes in, clearly unsettled by the events that have been ongoing in that specific part of the station ( for a week now at least, from what it sounds like ). That is rather concerning.. but, nothing that big of a deal! Easy peasy.
❛ Sounds like a wonderful mystery to solve after we visit the little critters! ❜
The two clerks look at Guinaifen with wide eyes, pure disbelief radiating out of them as the lass' nonchalance. The redhead simply places her hands at her hips, practically beaming confidence with her grin.
❛ Now- which way to the adoption event? ❜
The woman sighs, clearly reluctant to provide the information ( likely out of the goodness of her heart ) as she brings out a small piece of paper that has a general layout of the space station on it. Clearly a pamphlet of sorts for visitors. Score!
The clerk uses a pen and draws a few scribbles and lines on the map before holding it up for either of the girls to take.
❛ Follow the lines I made for you, and you should be able to find the event with no problem. Just.. please, do be careful. If you see anything out of the ordinary, I beg that you leave and come right back. ❜
Guinaifen nods as she takes the offered paper, eyes inspecting the directions written out with very precise penmenship. Her small softens as she listens to the genuine distress in the woman's voice. She really didn't think it was that intense of a problem- but who is Lil Gui to judge when she does sword stunts for a living.
❛ Oh course we will. The first sign of danger and I'm sure my girlie here will be booking it for the next spaceship. ❜
The redhead offers the reassurance with a tease, a playful hand holding on to Huohuo's shoulder- a gentle squeeze in further teasing and support. She then leads the greenette to the side, not wanting to prevent others from being assisted by the help desk.
As the performer looks over the map, she is all the more grateful that they had stopped and asked for directions. There are so many odd hallways and lifts that they would have had to follow to even reach the same floor that the adoption event was taking place on. That doesn't even include all the weaving through side rooms just to get to the actual event.
❛ Glad we asked, because yikers- I know we likely would have gotten lost! Haha! ❜
The lass quips as she offers the map out to her companion, just in case she ( or Mr. Tail ) wanted a closer look at where they were headed.
❛ Well- shall we get going? I bet Mr. Tail is a bit more excited to be here now at the notion of disappearances, hm? ❜

『 harmony commission ── catcake adoption center 』
Nothing about her routine had changed from the norm.
She'd woken up, done her librarian duties, taken her designated tea breaks, and she'd even managed to hunt down a few of her late books before clocking out. And after doing a bit of extra bookkeeping on her dear friend's, and Acting Grandmaster's, behalf, she'd succeeded in catching her fellow knight up to her forever-growing workload.
She'd been MORE than productive!
…Perhaps that's why she'd been swept into the vortex of some wayward wormhole. She'd been too productive, and now the universe needed to re-balance itself by sending her away.
The question now, was where exactly had she been sent? Because it most certainly wasn't anywhere in Teyvat.
Heel clicks down on metal and the immediate change in atmosphere hits her full force, the absence of that constant presence of magic in the air she was so used to sending her reeling for a moment.
Her descent to the ground is prevented, however, by the sensation of hands taking hold and steadying her. It takes her a minute or two to blink the stars away from her little 'trip', before she's looking up to regard her 'savior' properly.
"Thank you… That could have been a nasty fall in these shoes…~" She matches the stranger's easy-going tone, looking down to take stock of what all she still had on her in case anything needed to be located.
Hat? Check... Vision? Check... Mora pouch? Check...
She was all good!
"I know a lot of things," She continues, reaching down to brush imaginary dirt from the skirt of her dress. "But that, unfortunately, isn't one of them… I take it you can't provide me with any answers either, my dear?"
❛ Oh, I've been there. My performance shoes are something killer, especially when first learning how to actually exist in them. The style is always worth the ache, am I right? ❜
Guinaifen's smile stays warm as the woman quips right back at her. Good. She will take that as a good thing- that the lady is in good condition. She retracts her hands once the guest is standing upright on her own, no longer needing the performer's aid ( and Gui not wanting to overstep possible boundaries ).
She laughs gently and sheepishly, apologetic engraved across her face.
❛ I'm afraid not. While I travel around a lot throughout the cosmos, I can honestly say I've never seen such a method of transportation. I gotta admit, it might be handy for long distance trips. ❜
Even though she's keeping it light, she can't imagine being in the beautiful lady's elegant shoes right now- completely rattled with some unknown force tossing you into someone's arms ( technically ).
❛ I've heard the person who owns this ship is really smart, and like.. a genius or something. It's possible we could ask her to get an opinion- but I've also heard she's pretty busy.. and picky with what projects she wants to work on. ❜
The lass pauses to breathe, hand coming to grasp at her chin in thought.
❛ I might be able to ask a homie if he can possibly speed up the process, but that's still a big "If" and would still likely take a while. If you want, while waiting on a response from my friend, you could come with me for the time being? I mean, I was the one who saw what happened and caught you. So I could definitely be able to provide some good deets for them to up the success rate. Plus, I'm great company. ❜
㏒ looks like someone forgot to pay the powerbill
『 abundance commission ── adventures to a new planet 』
Guinaifen finds herself traveling a lot lately. Perhaps that's just because the streamer grind never stops. She doesn't mind going on adventures anyway, enjoys visiting new places and seeing how different the cosmos can be for all walks of life.
She is surprised by who she sees- one Captain of the city of Belobog on Herta's Space Station. From what she heard as rumors, the man would almost never leave his post unless he was dying ( obviously a bit dramatic but- ). So to see the blonde haired man here is a little peculiar.
She had played against Gepard during the Aetherium Wars a few times back on Jarilo VI- battling him in Hyperlink matches while she was waiting between the tournament rounds. She managed to get him to agree to a handful of battles- though he never sought her out for any of them, it was always her approaching him. Which is totally fine! She gets it, the man is important and working and being diligent- Guinaifen also works often, but even she knows that the "content grind" can still be a little more free-time-vibing than what one would typically think of as work.
HER POINT! Finding that man here, on Herta's, is very interesting indeed. He seems to be near a group of folks readying up for something- some sort of trip perhaps, judging from all the gear most of them seem to have on them.. ready for anything. Fascinating.
❛ Oi! Mister Gepard~! ❜
Guinaifen strides on up to the man she's familiar with, making her presence known by calling his name and a large wave of her hand into the sky. As she approaches she continues to glance around the group surrounding, taking mental note of the various styles of dress and the almost.. hunter-like equipment some carry.
❛ Wish I was recording to capture this once in a lifetime opportunity. The Captain Gepard off Jarilo VI? Wonders never cease. ❜
The performer hums, clearly teasing while grinning wide and amused.
❛ What brings you to Herta's? I just gotta know the deets behind this historic moment. ❜

㏒ don't KNOCK(off) it 'til you try it!
『 crystallize commission ── og soda vs knockoff brand civil war 』
THE DIRECTOR chuckles at the camera, as if knowingly responding to the chat's astonishment. Enthusiastically clasping his hands together, he turns to GUINAIFEN. There's a twinkle in his startlingly red eyes.
"How wonderful! 'Live streaming' allows one to share experiences in real-time fashion that other media simply cannot! Though you have an act, the script is largely improv, leaving your audience wondering what unique moments of everyday life you'll capture next..."
He feels her excitement stirring, which makes him swell with pride in turn. It always warms THE DIRECTOR'S heart to witness young talent hard at work, making names for themselves--he was there once. Why not give them a boost?
He holds THE ASSISTANT DIRECTOR out to GUINAIFEN'S lens. The chat begins spamming frog emoji, drowning out any messages that may have been speculating about THE DIRECTOR'S private life.
"This is the assistant director! My ever-reliable companion in all things film, such as shot positioning, cinematography, casting performers--Oh!"
THE DIRECTOR gasps delightedly as the mechanical frog hops onto the display table, taking her place near a particularly vibrant bottle. He motions toward the scene.
"Hmhmm~ Seems she wishes to help in matters of soda selection as well, Miss Gui! Please, regale us with the tale of this chartreuse one."
"Assistant Director" huh.. not exactly a name, Guinaifen thinks- more of a title. But who is she to question or judge when she had an online persona and had been given a new name after she made a new home on the Luofu.
She's just glad her chat is just as enthusiastic about them as she's growing to be- absolutely loving their vibes. Plus the Assistant Director is so cute! Mr. Reca ( she's assuming that's his name based on chat ) wasn't too bad on the eyes either, and speaking of eyes- what an interesting color and shape. Though she worries it might be rude to ask about it- or to stare too long.
❛ My my, Assistant Director, you have a wonderful eye! That chartreuse one is called "SoulJoy-us Vacation"! It has tons of citrus-y flavors, with melon and pineapple being the main focal points. ❜
Guinaifen proclaims proudly as she eyes her two attendees, eager and attentive to see how she can work her magic.
❛ It is very sweet, so if that's your jam then I would highly recommend it. However, if you don't have that big of a sweet tooth- ❜
The performer pauses as she grabs a hold of two bottles in each hand, one of a rather pastel green liquid and the other of a rather deep blue liquid. She even rotates the bottles around, allowing the glittery drinks to swirl and form patterns with it's mixture of colors.
❛ This green one is called "Soul En-Joy-Mint", which as the name implies is more of a mild and cooling spearmint flavor. While the blue one is "HuckleJoyBerry", a rather tart but still "berry" delicious drink. ❜
Gui has to stop herself from cackling at her own pun- what, she has to be somewhat professional! Plus jokes are always a good ice breaker to really reel people in.
❛ None of the names are final, and the creators would love your feedback on the names, and the taste of any of the products shown today- if you'd be comfortable and willing, of course. ❜
㏒ FOR THE (KITTY) HORDE!
『 abundance commission ── neko priestess' request 』
Of course Guinaifen is still in the nation of Liyue after the Lantern Rite-- the place was gorgeous! Though, she may or may not be a little biased because it reminds her of the Luofu. She's not homesick though! Just happy to see that despite being completely different cultures, living beings still have very similar tastes in aesthetics.
Guinevere wonders if she went searching long enough.. if she'd find somewhere that was a mirrored image of her destroyed home..
There are a lot of teashops and little food caterers everywhere she walks, and it just makes the whole city feels so lively. It's very cozy despite it all. So it's no surprise she finds herself sat at one of the restaurants- uh.. Wanmin? It was a place that Guinaifen had been recommended multiple times from various folks she asked for suggestions.
And she really wishes there was a way to thank them all, because her meal was absolutely divine! Oh how she wishes she could just teleport Wanmin to the Luofu so she could savor this every day. Alas, 'tis not how the laws of existence work.
Guinaifen is mid chew when something catches her attention- someone catches her attention. A tall beauty with snow white hair calmly makes her way down the street, and the performer almost finds herself starstruck. Though, the longer she looks.. the more inclined to snag the woman's attention grows.
As she always says, you got to seize the chance when it presents itself!
The redhead finishes what's in her mouth swiftly, even patting at her lips with a napkin to brush any lingering crumbs off before extending her hand out in a semi-dramatic fashion. Guinaifen waits until the woman notices her attempt to gain her attention before smiling wide, her voice just as friendly as her expression.
❛ Hi there! Sorry if this is so out of the blue, but would you like to have a meal with me?
I'm not a local, you see, and you definitely give me the vibe that you are. So, would you do me the honors of having a little chat? ❜

㏒ aw the catcakes and critters are so cute-- IS THAT GIANT A FLYING COCKROACH?!
『 abundance commission ── tales of the missing janitor 』
It's one of the rare few times where Guinaifen is relaxing, simply in her humble abode reading some novels on her phone and enjoying some of her favorite local delicacy, Mung Bean Soda. Even the ecstatic performer needs her winddown days- she is a living bean like the rest of the universe.
It's during this quiet time that her reading gets blocked by a notification popping up from the biggest hero of late- Caelus. Of course, the redhead quickly responds with gusto.
Which leads to Guinaifen packing up a small bag of essentials and general snacks, humming a little made-up tune to herself before she meets Huohuo and they, together, make their way onto Herta's Space Station. She's only been a few times, but it still pretty impressed with how high-tech it looks and how well it appears to be managed and efficiently ran.
Though.. she isn't exactly where to go from here. Guinaifen can't entirely remember where the critters were at on the big space ship- and the Trailblazer hadn't answered any of their messages for at least half an hour now. Guess they'll just wander around while they wait for him to get back to them, or possibly adventure on their own and luck into the little cuties.
❛ Say, is this your first time visiting Herta's, Huohuo? ❜
The redhead asks warmly even as her eyes continue to glance around in fascination. They manage to make it into a rather large.. lobby looking area, complete with ( what the lass assumes is ) a help-desk with a few individuals behind the counter.
❛ You think we should ask for directions..? I mean, the worst they could say is that they don't know where the kitties are at either. ❜

㏒ you ever look at someone and wonder what kind of trauma is in their head?
『 harmony commission ── clockie's tunnel of nightmares 』
What's the first thing you do when you visit somewhere new?
For Sara, gathering information takes priority, and for the longest of time she remains by the theme park’s entrance, exhausting the poor attendant there with questions upon questions. What is Penacony? Where in Teyvat is it? Ah, so it isn’t in Teyvat, then. That must mean she’s in a dream once more—oh? So it is a dream. That is good to know. But her body is still in Penacony? Hm? How could that be when her last memory before her arrival there had been of her in Inazuma? When it finally looked as though the attendant wanted nothing more than to clock off for the day, Sara at last ends her list of questions, her head dipping down in a small bow as she apologises for having taken too much of his time.
They perk up at that, at least, her sincerity acknowledged.
As a final gesture, the attendant beams at her, his voice suddenly brimming with such enthusiasm. “Well, you’re already here! Why not give the rides a try? I promise you’ll have a blast—guaranteed!” His smile widens, radiating so much that it feels as though he, too, might live vicariously through Sara’s joy if she decides to give in.
And so give in, she does.
Still, even with the pamphlet in her hand, its edges slightly crumpled from her grip, and a few messy notes scrawled across it by the overeager attendant, Sara still feels rather lost. She’s not quite sure what else to do other than wander aimlessly, drifting along with the flow of the crowd, her gaze flickering from one attraction to the other, curious enough to stop and observe but never interested enough to join in a line or step inside.
Eventually she finds herself standing still once more, pamphlet held up to her face as she reads it for what feels like the fiftieth time, her eyebrows knit together as her eyes lock onto the bold, capitalized letters screaming “MUST TRY!”, multiple arrows scribbled on, pointing towards it and all.
A Tunnel of Love, huh. Sara’s shoulders slumps just a tad. It… doesn’t really sound like it would suit her. And besides, it seems like to participate, visitors must come in pairs. Hm. A shame indeed, since she’s alone—
“Why hello there!”
Her shoulders drop all the more, and her golden eyes reluctantly flit up to the sound of a cheerful voice. The stranger readily introduces herself before rambling on about the ride and how she, too, is alone.
“Ah… I see.” Another glance down at the crumpled pamphlet in her hands, then at the ride’s entrance, before she turns to this Miss Guinaifen. Sure. Alright. Maybe the attendant was right—she’s already here, after all. What harm could there be in indulging in just one ride?
“You may call me Sara. A pleasure to meet you, Miss Guinaifen. I happen to be alone as well. If you don’t mind having me as company, perhaps we could go in as a pair?”
❛ Aw shucks, no need to be so polite. Just call me Guinaifen, or Lil Gui if you prefer something a little shorter. ❜
Her grin is blinding as the redhead extends her hand out to her new companion in adventure ( rides ). It'd be ideal to stick with her for multiple attractions, so at the very least Guinaifen doesn't have to constantly locate a new person per ride she visits.
Well... that will likely depend on how this Tunnel of Love goes.
❛ I would love some girl-on-girl bonding time! ❜
It is sweet seeing someone so polite and relaxed in a theme park. Usually people are excited or bouncing off the walls, kids and adults alike- not that Guinaifen isn't one of them. She doesn't think she's that bad, a little eccentric sure, but she isn't that hyper- especially since she doesn't have a live audience to entertain.
Giddy, the lass doesn't wait for the indigo to offer any sort of response before grabbing her hand gently and tugging her off to get in line. It's not a long line, but Gui doesn't want to wait any longer than she has to! Nor does she want her victim to second guess her decision and run away.
JOKING! She's joking ( even if it's only in her own head ).
❛ I know I might see it myself anyway, but I gotta ask. What do you think you'll see? Or more, I guess I'm asking what do you want to see from your "love vision"?
Surely a pretty lady such as yourself has some dreams of romance of some kind. ❜
SEASON: # H A R M O N Y
Teyvat:
Canopy Crash Course!
Nothing is quite as fun as getting a good scare. What's even better than a scare? A thrill ride. Guinaifen hears of a sort of "training course" where folks can do all sorts of wild sports and "exercises". It says it's for Adventurers of the highest caliber, and one Lil Gui wants to put that to the test! Plus, if she gets to make a vlog about it, that's just an bonus.
REQUIRES TEYVAT MUSE!
Sea of Quanta:
Fyxestroll Garden Guardians!
Man oh man does it feel yucky to find out that folks are going in to areas they shouldn't ( hypocritic statement coming from her ), but more so that they are trashing the place and destroying the scenery. The guilt is heavy, as Guinaifen had been one to "make a name for herself" with that one livestream her and Shushang encountered a Heliobi and then proceeded to create a Ghost Hunting Squad and even put their exploits to social media. Guinaifen just didn't expect so many people would try to copy her, and do so in such extravagantly distasteful fashion.

『 crystallize commission ── og soda vs knockoff brand civil war 』
Fads come and go in the blink of an eye on the Planet of Festivities. The audience is fickle this way, but trends that set the stage for others to follow tend to be the ones that endure the test of time. Still, the same cast can't be featured forever…the audience will get bored.
"Boring" is not in today's script. There is a gasp.
"Assistant Director, do you see this?"
THE DIRECTOR, downtown in the Golden Hour in his usual look, quirks an eyebrow at a jumbotron promoting a soft drink named "SoulJoy." THE ASSISTANT DIRECTOR is on his shoulder, a hand to her chin. They are both spending way too long contemplating an advertisement.
"Heheh, old Mr. Aideen appears to have a new competitor in the market! It's about time, wouldn't you say?"
THE DIRECTOR doesn't have anything against SoulGlad, per se, but AIDEEN's advanced age reflects the stagnation of his brand. Perhaps a healthy rivalry would have the business tycoon focus more on innovation in the beverage industry, rather than vapid product placement in otherwise brilliant cinema?
(…Maybe it was a little personal.)
He would just have to evaluate the competition himself! His opinion would be influenced less by the flavors, and more by presence; does the brand have a personality other than "a SoulGlad competitor?" Indeed, if he had one criticism so far, the drink's name was perhaps too revealing of its company's intent, lacking in identity otherwise. A copycat's career can only go so far before it flops…
THE DIRECTOR takes to the streets, seeking a way to procure this mysterious "SoulJoy." It doesn't take long for the opportunity to present itself--just look at that lively young lady! She has a passion for her product like any halfway decent salesperson should…and a camera? There's no hesitation as he approaches, pretending to be surprised at her setup.
"Hello there, cast member--oh! Is this a 'live stream?'"
He smiles toward the lens of her camera, effervescent. THE ASSISTANT DIRECTOR waves at it, too. There are chat members watching GUINAIFEN'S stream that recognize "Mr. Reca" on sight, if they don't recognize him from his strange word choices.
"I take it this must be a sponsorship deal, then? You've certainly drawn me in with your promise of 'unreleased' flavors… Go on! Give me your pitch."
Couldn't be worse than "Explosion SoulGlad."
Her display has worked! A passerby has strolled over to her table, and even started to eye her streaming gear. There's a proud puff of her chest, hands perched at her sides as she nods rather enthusiastically.
❛ Indeed it is a Livestream! ❜
She only peaks at her phone ( the easiest way for her to keep an eye on the stream itself without having to constantly look back towards the more powerful [ and possibly heavy ] electronics ) for a moment but is rather intrigued by the rapid movement of the chat, even more so with the swarm of comments about a "Mr. Reca ( and the Assistant Director )".
Appears she has landed a rather big catch this day.
Never one to waste an opportunity, the performer gets to work. If even she just gets these two to peruse her table, that'll be a win in itself. Two big locals mingling with a popular entertainer ( WHILE BLOGGING ABOUT IT LIVE ) ? A recipe for success. Well, that's if she can win them over. Though that she isn't to concerned about. The redhead is rather pleased and confident in the product she's backing ( and being endorsed by, but that's not important ).
❛ Before I provide you my heart-stopping hook, I simply have to ask- who is this little cutie on your shoulder? Certainly they have a name? ❜
㏒ would i be called the cat in the hat if i wore a cat as a hat?
『 harmony commission ── catcake adoption center 』
After all the things she's witnessed, Guinaifen really shouldn't be surprised by anything new at this point... and yet-
It all started when she heard from a friend of a friend of a fan who's a fan of a friend that Herta's Space Station ( that one place where one her Ghost Hunting Squad besties was "from" ) was holding some sort of pet adoption event. Now, Guinaifen already has a plethora of diting's under her care.. but she can't deny that adding some new critters into her life isn't enticing.
Or, even if she doesn't adopt a critter herself, she can always go to check it out, or give support ( like a donation, or even live streaming the event to try and get some people to come adopt some cuties of their own- ). So she makes her way to the famed space ship.
It's not as crowed as she expected it to be for some famous or big hub for a Genius Society member. Don't get the lass wrong, there are still plenty of folks around, just less than she would think would be around during such an event.
She is, uncharacteristically, sticking to the outside of the mass of people. The performer really wants to observe first before she commits herself to anything just yet. Perhaps it's due to this initial hesitation that she's able to see a peculiar sight.
Well... peculiar and pretty. The swirl of colors, lovely tints of oranges and blues mashed together as a large oval spins and spins until a purple goddess stumbles through.
What. The. Flip?!
As a kind hearted soul, the redhead, similarly, stumbles forward to extend her arms out to assist this mystical woman from falling over. Gentle but firm hands grab at the other's forearm and upper arm, staying but a few moments until Guinaifen is certain she won't topple to the ground.
❛ I know they say a dramatic entrance needs to make a statement, but I think you might have taken it a bit too far. ❜
Her voice is light and overflowing with amusement as she keeps her focus on the brunette before her. While immensely curious, she does want to make sure that this mystery guest is not injured or otherwise unwell.
❛ You feeling alright? What in the cosmos was that light..? ❜

㏒ you ever look at someone and wonder what kind of trauma is in their head?
『 harmony commission ── clockie's tunnel of nightmares 』
What's the first thing you do when you visit somewhere new? Go to the biggest tourist spots, of course! Or, if not the first thing, at least take a peak before you leave. After all, those places are hots spots for a reason. Sure Guinaifen originally came to Penacony on a sort of sponsorship trial, but she would be a fool to not take a walk around and just have fun while she was already there!
That said, Guinaifen would much rather have some company while she walks around to make it more fun. The more the merrier, or something like that. Plus, that would make sure she doesn't get lost in somewhere she's never been before- or at least not lost by herself.
ANYWHO! Off Lil Gui goes into Clockie Studios Theme Park, wide eyed and excited as she semi-skips her way through the paths that wind every which way. She's only stopped when a rather flashy ride catches her attention. The redhead had seen her chat talking about a new ride the place had opened up for the season- a Tunnel of Love. Seems a little cliche not gonna lie, but it also makes sense as it is around the time of Valentine's. But ain't nothing wrong with some good old fashion love and cliches!
That said, it appears that you can't go on the ride solo. Boo! Not that she really minds- again, the more the merrier! Sucks she hadn't had a friend come with her, as that wouldn't made this easier. Though it's not as if she's scared to make friends, so she quickly scans the surrounding area for a victim to drag along with her.
The performer spots indigo locks attached to a very pretty lady, and Guinaifen notes that the woman had been rather stationary for the last few minutes. Was she waiting on someone? Oh- maybe she wanted to go on the ride too but was too nervous to ask for a partner! Well, only one way to find out!
With rapid steps, the redhead makes her approach on her target.
❛ Why hello there! Call me Guinaifen. Were you looking to go on the Tunnel of Love too? I'd love to go on it myself, but I don't think I can go alone. ❜
