Random headcanon because I've recently become aware of some things.

Nahida wanted Wanderer to practice governing over sumeru in the unlikely event she is incapacitated or the new scholars decide to 'reenact history.' So, she got him a copy of the Sims, believing he will grow to love them and want to make them happy. Just as she loves and wishes to make all of sumeru happy.

Nahida is now aware that sims can be killed by crushed vending machines; meteor showers, and Murphy beds. Among other things.

RIP to the dottore sims in the freshly renovated parking lot/grave yard.

Huge win for the Durin, Nahida, Wanderer, Niwa, and your own sim; as this happy little family live in a nice mansion on the hill.

Do you think Niwa freak out hearing kabukimono cuss for the first time? 💀

Wanderer!MC getting dragged over by a few of the craftsmen for a round of drinks.

Katsuragi: 🙂‍↕️ “Is it really proper for a lady to be pulled into drinking…?” <- MC’s never clarified their identity and they look too much like the Shogun so it’s more of an assumption (and if MC’s being honest, they don’t really seem to care much).

MC surprisingly knows their liquor tho. Definitely teaching the folks how to home-brew that sakura sake on the sly~

But more importantly—

Nagamasa: “…So what’s your story…?”

MC knows exactly what he’s asking.

Katsuragi and the others are willing to overlook MC’s nature as a puppet; but in the long run, that kind of mentality might get them into trouble. (Sure, they might have cottoned on to “Escher” from the start, but he’s more or less a different ball game.)

Wanderer!MC: “I honestly don’t even know how to begin.” (🙂‍↕️ What exactly should I tell him…?)

Nagamasa: “Take your time. Everybody’s gone home, so it’s just us here.”

Wanderer!MC: “I highly doubt you’ll believe me.”

Nagamasa: “I think you, yourself, are more than enough evidence.”

Fair point.

Wanderer!MC: “My memories from the time of my creation are vague. I can’t guarantee that I have the whole picture, much less any idea of what the Shogun was thinking.

“All I know so far is that I was originally a proof of concept for whatever designs that she might have had, a rough draft. Afterwards I was probably meant to be some kind of ‘assistant’ for her, and to watch over a…very special relic of hers.

“But, her method of having me hold onto that relic was to try and store it away within me. I don’t know if my body was just incompatible, or if it simply wasn’t possible to store that relic with such a method. Either way, it hurt like a bitch, and of course I started crying like a baby.

“And I guess for the cold and Almight Shogun, that was a sign that I wasn’t able to fulfill my role, maybe because I wasn’t compatible, or I was just too…’human.’ So she left me behind to collect dust.”

*grabs a tiny bottle of leftover dandelion wine from Mondstadt and chugs the rest of it*

“So, what about you? What’s got you so obsessed with your family name?”

Nagamasa: 🤯💀 “My— My name? Obsessed—? I—” (How did we go from such a wild story to my own family history…!? What do they mean “obsessed”!?)

☝️ Really, it’s only fair that Nagamasa shares his story, after prying so deep into MC’s.

Wanderer!MC: 😏 “What, too drunk already? Whatever, it’s not like you have to talk about it. You kept watching me like I’m some shady bandit, and I needed to vent anyway. If that’s all you wanted to hear from me, I gotta go help the doc clean up.

“Oh, and here’s some unwanted advice—

“Don’t bother wasting your time trying to clear and live up to your family’s name. Make them focus on you instead.”

Nagamasa: 😒 (Speak for yourself, you kept avoiding us like the plague!) 🤔 (Focus on me instead of my name? Isn’t that basically the same thing? What a weird riddle—)

Wanderer!MC: 👀💢 “You…”

Outside the door, Niwa and Katsuragi were caught peeking inside.

Eavesdropping, without a doubt.

Nagamasa: 💀 “Oh…” (I thought they already went home.)

Katsuragi: 😱 “L-lovely weather tonight…!”

Niwa: 🗿 “W—we, uh… Ummmmm…”

Wanderer!MC: *emitting Electro energy* 💢⚡️😊⚡️💢 “Lovely weather indeed. Say, ever heard of something called ‘personal issues’~?”

Niwa: “Wwewewewewe we didn’t— We didn’t— We didn’t— We didn’t listen on purpose! Nagamasa—”

Nagamasa: *deliberately staring out the window* 😶🍶 (Mm, truly, what wonderful weather.) <- noping out like a coward

Katsuragi: 😭 “WE WON’T SAY ANYTHING WE SWEAR—”

Niwa: 😱 “NAGAMASAAAAAAAAA—”

How fortunate for Niwa and Katsuragi, that they received free tutorials in magic and elemental reactions~!

[The next day…]

Nozomu: 😦 “Why do you two smell like ozone…?”

Nagamasa: “Niwa and Katsuragi got curious about dabbling in Electro magic, and [Wanderer!MC] generously offered to teach them a thing or two.”

Katsuragi: 🥹🩹 “Very generous, indeed, my lord…!”

Niwa: ☠️💢 “Nagamasa, you…”

Niwa will remember this, Nagamasa, trust.

Ok, so three people are in the know of Wanderer!MC's story. At least they're people they can trust...

But also, lol, poor Katsuragi and Niwa. Then we have Nagamasa making things worse for the two. Hopefully he keeps an eye open as he sleeps, cause Niwa will remember this shit, Nagamasa! 🤣
