Varka:So this is the Stygian portal?
Varka:Looks about right. Mind if I take a crack at it?
Aether:Ummm, you can. But uhhh, this place doesn’t tolerate mistakes or weakness.
Varka:Perfect! Wish me luck! *walks in* Bennett, Durin, Venti, on me!
The trio walks in after him. Aether turns to look at everyone.
Aether:If things go poorly, be nice. We’ve all had our dream crushed in this place before.
Furina:Yeah I’m pretty great.
Aether:Alright, yall can show a little bit of sympathy…
Varka walks out with a raised fist and whistling. Even Venti is acting like he wasn’t dreading this moments ago. The team didn’t bother to stop walking. They just…went into the sunset.
Mona:He absolutely told them to not look back for dramatic effect.
Fischl:A bold and brilliant maneuver!!!
Aether:The next fight is Knuckle Duckle. Soooooo, unleash the duo.
Columbina:*holds Ineffa’s hand*
Ineffa:Who wants to join?
Aino:Meeeee! It’s my robot after all.
Columbina:When the sun’s out, bathe in sunlight. But when the moon’s out…
Hu Tao:I feel unstoppable! Let’s move everyone!
All four walk through the portal.
Mavuika:Do you think my comment-
Mavukia:Woah, message received. Well I pray for their victory.
Aether:Morale will be pretty bad if things go down after what Varka and the others-
Aether:Never mind. Good shit.
Three of them walked out casually. Hu Tao skipped out with a grin and point at the Pyro Archon as she pointed back with pride.
Aether:Y’know I actually wanted Varka to try the cryo Secret Source, but oh well. Ummm, Ayaka?
Ayaka:Well then, this seems a little biased. Arguably the people perfectly aligned for those opponents were available. My performance might not be up to par.
Shenhe:Should we wait for Skirk?
Ayaka:*walks through portal*
Escoffier:Welp, that our queue! Lady F-
Furina:Oh to be needed once again! *walks through*
Mavuika:Oh wow. I think this the first time I’ve genuinely gotten a break from Stygian. It’s actually a little nice.
Aether:Well we can’t celebrate y-
Aether:What the- they just entered!
Escoffier comes out throwing petals before Shenhe walks out with Ayaka and Furina on sitting each shoulder.
Ayaka:I won’t go down easily!
Aether:Well then…good job everyone?
Mona:Remember how last Stygian took us all 5 days of tears and fighting? I’m beginning to suspect we were never the problem. It’s just The Wild Hunt.
Kazuha:Respectfully, I don’t think you get to say that.
