Imposter SAGAU where your character's friendship level affects how likely you are to convince them to trust you
I read @hiraeth-rawr 's version of this and thought it looked really fun so wanted to give it a go, here's my take! I'm starting with Inazuma tho:
Inazuma
Bad.
This nation is already the most dangerous of all 3 and my roster of inazuman characters doesn't really help (;;;・_・)
For starters my Sara has been gathering dust since I got her (I'm sorry I like her, I do but she doesn't fit in any of my teams, and I don't have Raiden or Yae -_-)
I'll have to console myself with the fact that Ei is generally too stubborn, at least up until the second story quest events
Add to that the ridiculous obsessiveness the characters can reach in SAGAU fics, and I doubt Sara could've convinced her anyways
I'm sure she could've helped me get out of the nation the quickest and possibly safest as she would've protected me, but I guess it can't be helped (˘・_・˘)
Next up there's the characters I actually have at a high friendship, 10 to be specific
First off there's Kazuha, which isn't very helpful since as far as we know he already left with the Crux fleet (@_@;)
Then there's Yoimiya, while technically a member of the resistance, it's not like she's a high standing officer in it
And as a non Kokomi haver (like most of us) or even Gorou haver ( come hoooooome -_- ) I don't think she can exactly convince them of much for my sake.
Then there's Sayu, a character you're unlikely to meet
Now here's the thing, I got Yoimiya which means no Ayaka for me, and then I failed to get Thoma
Also, as of the writing of this, Ayato isn't even out yet, so zero help from the Kamisato Estate, pretty much (*﹏*;)
Still for the sake of this scenario and my life, let's say by some plot armored, Teyvat aided miracle I do get to meet the smol sleepy mujina ninja
Yeah no one's taking her seriously, are they?
She's tiny and looks like a child, doesn't appear to be hard working (I did her hangout so dw I know that's not true) and naps all day
I doubt the shrine maidens or the Kamisato clan OR even Yae would take her seriously in something this dire ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Still, since Jean's and Barbara's healing abilities are canon, it stands to logic that Sayu's should be too, so that should take care of any injury the 3 of us sustain
Add to that some help from Teyvat, covering our tracks and maybe if I figured Teyvat is helping me, asking them to misguide our enemies
That should buy Yoi-chan enough time to get me to a well hidden location
Don't forget she's used to hiding fugitives!
Sayu should be able to gather info easily enough, so I'm sure she can gather when Beidou's crux fleet is to secretly dock next in Inazuma
You see according to Yoi-chan's voice lines, she smuggles fireworks out of Inazuma to Liyue with Beidou's fleet!
Since she has a good relationship with her, I'm sure she can convince her and Kazuha to just hear me out, and guess what?
My first serious dps in the game was Beidou
Friendship level 10 Baby ಠ‿ಠ
Since Beidou's word is law on her Ship, and with the help of Kazuzu and Teyvat, it should be literal and figurative smooth sailing from here!
Good luck stoping us with your automatic lightning storm Raiden when Teyvat is tirelessly giving us speed boosts and protection <( ̄︶ ̄)>
Before I leave tho I'm giving a huge bear hug to Yoi, (one of my two current mains .·´¯`(>▂<)´¯`·.) and Sayu, but I'll also be giving Sayu a very important mission, we'll come back to it later tho
Next up;
Liyue
A bit better. (づ。◕‿‿◕。)づ
By the the time we dock in Liyue harbor, we already have a plan set
I should already be aware of my characters friendship level affecting how much characters are willing to trust me by now
Taking that into account, the plan is as follows:
Beidou easily gets me an audience with Ninguang who is friendship level 8
I doubt anything short of level 9 is enough for her to make a bold public proclamation of my innocence, especially if there's an actual imposter in control
But I think 8 is more then enough for secretly housing me and looking for a way to help me cross over to Mondstadt
Zhongli's also level 8 but in case ninguang refused to help I'd rather have him as a second option to try rather then them both against me (rip) so it's decided I'll only go to him as a last resort
That's the plan at least.
No way things go that smoothly tho lol y'all know how our luck is
(╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻
So first off I have neither Ganyu nor Keqing
I can see ninguang kinda sorta convincing Ganyu to not kill or out me, that should be within her power
But I think she'd recognize that won't be possible with The Yuheng and decide the best course of action is to keep the whole situation hidden from her
Especially if Keqing's truely loyal to the actual imposter
While Ning is away on some business, should Keqing find me in the jade chamber because
A) Ganyu betrays me and secretly tips her off or
B) Any kind of very unlucky and unexpected event
I'm not taking my chances with calling for help I'm bolting out of there asap
You might be thinking, how would you escape the freaking Yuheng?
Easy, we're on the jade chamber, I'm jumping straight down👇
You see I have better chances of survival praying Teyvat can figure anything out to cushion my fall then trying to defeat keqing by throwing fancy furniture at her or playing Wind Trace: The Jade Chamber Edition.
And what kind of idiot would jump after me? No one guys I'm the only idiot here
Water would be as as hard as solid ground at my velocity, in survival videos they say your best bet at living when falling from great heights is to avoid bodies of water and look for lush trees
So that's kinda what Teyvat goes with
Ofcourse that hardly means I sustain no injury, I'm probably concussed as hell with at least one broken limb (◉‿◉)
No, this isn't when Xiao pops up to save us guys I don't want him to see me like this (>\\\\<), besides I doubt I'm able to talk right now and I can't convince him of anything with a possibily fractured jaw, he'd just mercifully make my end quick
Instead, Teyvat hurriedly leads a confused herb gathering Qiqi to me, and she's wondering if the path mysteriously changed or she just forgot the way again....?
You see I got her on the Zhongli first re run and have been maining her ever since for a loooong time, I even first ever completed floor 12 with her on one side and Jean the other as physical carries
I'm telling you guys we won't need words (人 •͈ᴗ•͈) but to stick with the plot she's a kind child ready to heal and protecc
Plus I'm probably too mangled and bloody rn to be recognisable
After I'm done with a nice chat with her I'll ask her to lead me out of the mountains, I really wouldn't want to be anywhere near the Jade chamber right now
I also better move away quickly, who knows how many people Keqing called on so it's high time I go looking for Zhongli
Here's the thing tho, their are some very dangerous characters out there you really don't want to be meeting, especially not in the mountains
Enter Shenhe.
She doesn't really feel but I think meeting the heretic would really piss her off and that's with the red strings dampening her emotions down
I can see Qiqi doing her best to protect me with all her ancient sword art and adeptus power, but all shenhe needs to do is knock her out and I'm defenseless
I already predicted this tho ehe <( ̄︶ ̄)>
Ok not this specific situation but like meeting my demise cuz duh
Remember that secret mission I tasked Sayu with?
During my stay in Inazuma I think the sakoku decree (the one about the borders staying closed) should still be in full swing
As a proud and stubborn ruler I don't think the Raiden puppet would have any reason to maintain any sort of correspondence with the other nations
But after they realize I escaped the nation, that's a different story
Both Raiden Shogun and Ei would be itching to find and decimate that heretic that dared to dishonor The Creator and make a fool of them and their Shogunate
So naturally since they have a country to rule, a potential traitor that helped me to search for and punish and erosion to keep at bay
They decide to re open the correspondence routes to warn the other nations of a heretic daring to use the face of The Creator and urge them to report back once they're found
I think they'd want to take part in the execution ceremony ಠ﹏ಠ
My mission wasn't for her to interfere in any of that tho, I just asked her to keep a look out for when the routes open back up and send 2 letters I left with her for me
In case the shogunate had a fleet I didn't know about or the Raiden's ever lasting storm barrier actually sinks us
I wanted two people to absolutely no matter what receive a letter from me each
The first is addressed to the Acting Grandmaster of Mondstadt.
As my first ever five star on the first Xiao banner and the one character I mained the longest (8 months) one I even still regularly use. I want to deeply thank her for coming home then
When I didn't get Xiao back then I was devastated, but as time passed I pretty much understood how doomed a new player would be with him as first dps, I'd just keep getting him killed or frozen in the air from Barbara E, he deserves better (。ŏ﹏ŏ)
I think I'd write her a heartfelt apologie for how ungrateful I was at getting her in the beginning, thanking her for carrying me like the true Lion Fang she is, maybe teasing her about her turtle and telling her to spend more time with Barbara
And ofcourse not to overwork herself lol
The second Is addressed to the Wangshuu Inn, specifically for the mysterious young man that loves almond tofu.
It would be a thank you letter for Xiao, thanking him for coming home early on his re run, I had a guarantee and enough primos plus everything farmed but I guess he saw me finally worthy this time so I was delighted
I'd tell him I'm super proud of his damage and incredibly happy I decided to insta triple crown him
I'd tell him he's my king and always will be and finally get to thank him for the crystalflies he sent us on his birthday ^^
I'd probably jokingly whine a bit about him not coming home on his first banner, but really even the year long wait only made me want him more
Finally, if he's curious about who the sender is, to keep a look out for his name being called by a voice that isn't the traveler's near Pervases temple and I leave both letters unsigned.
Now back to the current events, I'm nowhere near Pervases temple, and I'm not even sure if the letters reached him yet but I take a leap of faith, and shout:
"Adeptus Xiao!!"
And in classic "Super dramatic moments" fashion;
He comes to my rescue
.
.
.
Not...
Shenhe: ಠ_ಠ
Me: ( ̄ヘ ̄;)
And then I remember his voice line about Morax and go:
"Rex Lapis sucks!!"
That does the trick and he pops out of thin air, grumbling about this not being pervases temple, glares at me for the last line I uttered and faces off Shenhe
Once that's done with I very sheepishly apologize for my rudeness and assure him I wasn't serious haha-
Thankfully tho friendship level 10 comes in clutch (´∩。• ᵕ •。∩`)
So about that looking for Zhongli thing.... Yeah change of plans I think by now I've had enough of Liyue
I ask him (read beg) to kindly escort me to Dragonspine, Albedo's camp specifically, whom I don't have but do have a friendship level 10 Sucrose. We grab poor Qiqi and head off
Upon getting their he'll probably be somewhat reluctant to leave but someone needs to take Qiqi back home and I spot Sucrose thankfully present in the lab so it's time to finally reach;
Mondstadt
Oof- This is long overdue.
The SAFEST Nation for me by faaaaaaaaaaaaar
Honestly level 10 friendship Fischl and Bennett can get me inside the city if Sucrose needs to convince Albedo I'm not a threat?
If Andrius or Divalin come angrily looking for me level 10 friendship Venti (Got him on his re run thanks to the guarantee getting Jean on Xiao banner meant) can take care of that
Jeanie my queen can whisk me away inside, no trouble to be expected from friendship level 10 Rosaria (number 1 waifu Change my mind) and Kaeya (daddy milkers eye patch man)
I don't have Diluc or Eula but they trust Jean so that's fine
Razor is level 2 but level 10 Lisa, his teacher should take care of that
I believe Barbara is level 7 as well...
Really at that point it's just a matter of helping me figure out a way back to my realm
It was an interesting adventure but I somehow didn't have to deal with Tartar Sauce and the fatui, not to mention the Tsaritsa
I'd like to keep it that way thank you very much
