My name? You don't need to know. I am but a mere bard and that is all I shall give.

🕊️ About 🕊️

Sort of an Ask/RP Blog for Nameless Bard and Old Mondstadt from Genshin Impact.

The blog will be following a narrative in a limited POV and fragmented glimpses into the story. The timeline will not necessarily match up with real time. Time skips may occur sometimes.

Most of the characterizations here are based on headcanon as there is little canon information about the characters.

(This post will be updated when necessary)

FAQ and Tag guide

Asks

First of all, no NSFW.

Second, try to keep the ask from breaking the fourth wall. Future information in the story is fine since the premise involves weird time shenanigans via the leyline network.

Interaction with other RP blogs

This blog will not be interacting with other RP blogs as it will be mostly self contained and wouldn't really fit with the type of storytelling/posts I'm going for. Sorry :(

The characters' names

Only characters with canon names (with the exception of Venti) will be named in the posts. Everyone else's name will be kept anonymous unless MiHoYo decides to reveal them.

You can try to ask about Nameless Bard's and see what happens.

Wait! The one on your head appears more distorted than the others! Maybe that's them?

Y O U.

[nameless-the-bard]

Would the letter eating, fork eating wisp we all know and love please reveal themselves before our dear bard goes insane

PLEASE

[nameless-the-bard]

So I guess there's more of whatever little friend is out there

This answers the question of whether or not there are others like them, I suppose. They have been such dears in taking the letters, but I am afraid I have lost any way to identify my little friend since all of them attempt to do it.

[nameless-the-bard]

Say the ribbon is very special, I'm sure they'll treasure it!!!

Perhaps, if I could find them somehow...?

[nameless-the-bard]

Maybe you could draw them out with an apple? (Unless they all like apples-)

They all do.

[nameless-the-bard]

FORK??????

There is a reason why I have been using my hands for dishes I cannot simply stab with a knife this past month.

[nameless-the-bard]

Once you find little friend, put them in time out, then put a bow or something to identify them on them

Do not underestimate a wisp's ability to eat anything lest we forget about the few letters and the fork that have gone missing

[nameless-the-bard]

So many of them.... Which one is your little friend??

I DO NOT KNOW THEY KEEP SWAPPING PLACES EACH TIME I FINALLY MANAGE TO IDENTIFY MY LITTLE FRIEND

THEY HAVE MULTIPLIED WHILE I WAS NOT LOOKING

[nameless-the-bard]

...

[nameless-the-bard]

My guess is that this little friend is pixelated because whatever you're talking to us through makes them appear like that!

Hmm...how peculiar. It does sound like a reasonable explanation!

I have also noticed while parsing through previous pictures that they appear to be clearer at times. I wonder if there is a connection with what they are doing and the amount of distortion it causes? This may be added onto my list of things I must look more into.

[nameless-the-bard]

Hello hello! I just wanted to say Merry Christmas, Mr bard! I hope you're having a fantastic holiday!

Hello! I have no idea what that may be, but happy holidays as well! I had thought it would be somewhat lonely this year, but I now have my little friend, my new neighbors are kind, and we are getting by.

It is incredibly cold this time of year so please take care too. The storm walls may block out most of the blizzards, but it does not always guarantee it will keep the cold from seeping through especially near the city borders.

[awake-my-oceans]

Makes sense, Christmas is a local holiday from over here. What holidays or festivals do you celebrate in Mondstat? Do you have a favorite? Has your little friend been to any festivals?

May you stay warm too!!

[nameless-the-bard]

Oh, I see! I would have to say, celebrations in other places will surely go onto my list of things to do once we are able to travel...actually hold on, perhaps I should list them down so I can remember to see them all, hehe.

As for local celebrations and holidays, Mondstadt is not much of a festive sight these past few years but we have no lack of them to say the least. Though I do not have it with me at the moment, there is a whole chart about every holiday. Many of them have something to do do with celestial movements if I remember those lectures correctly. Some happen annually and a few happen every month. My favorite would probably be the Winter's Summit. It's very straightforward and I really enjoy the festivities (usually, at least).

I only met this little one this year, so I am unsure how many they have been to, if at all. It wasn't much of a celebration this year, but they looked to have enjoyed the small preparations we had just a few days ago, so I'm glad.

Ah, it would seem this is beginning to be long winded. I wish you warmth and prosperity for the coming year and may you find the dream which your heart seeks!

I'm sure your little friend will be fine, I doubt that's the only question its eaten anyways, if it could get sick then it would have already

Ah, that is good to hear! I do hope no more questions get eaten though.

[nameless-the-bard]

I don't think the ink on those papers is safe for anything to eat, let alone your little friend!

Oh! Uhh...hm.

[nameless-the-bard]

Hello bars! That sure is a creature you found! But what exactly is it?

Hello Anonymous Person! Apologies for my late correspondence, I have been somewhat...busy as of late.

I wouldn't quite say I found this one, rather they found their way to me one day, ehehe...

Anyhow, after quite a number of hours breaking int looking through collections of books, I can now say that my little friend is certainly not a bird from what I could find.

They could be some sort of anemogranum, although quite a strange one at that. The number of wings, color, and curious nature all check out; though the sound they make is a bit off in tone (it is closer to a bell than the crystalline whistling regular anemograna make), I would say it be similar enough.

I am rather curious as to why this one has the tendency to apparently eat some letters of mine. Perhaps I should try to feed them more? Are anemograna even supposed to consume papers? I will have to check when I happen to come across some.

[nameless-the-bard]

Hi there! I've had a lot of attempts to say something but I've been pretty nervous, I'm not very social...I just wanted to ask what type of music do you like?

That is quite alright, dear stranger! Believe it or not despite my bardic charm, I too have similar moments at times...

But in any case! As for the music I like— I do have a lot of preference toward the rambunctious songs that frequently grace the taverns. Sure, many think they tend to be a little...much in terms of language and some that perhaps shouldn't be in my repertoire, but the heart in a lot of them and how easily people would sing together is not something to be overlooked. There is a certain charm to them, wouldn't you think so?
