BORDER CREDS

[the-best-bard]

hey mister bard, do you think you might want to go check out the fledgling nation at tatarasuna, kannazuka, inazuma? you haven't seen that fellow god in quite some time and he seems to be dealing with dread regarding the lack of living celestial bodies...

Mm? Oh, hi there!

..hm.. you are right. It has been a while..

[the-best-bard]

There's a small rustle noise and Venti could see green cat ears and a spotted tail behind said bush, yup, definitely Lei

(THIS IS MY GENSHIN IMPACT AU, NOT MY BUNGOU STRAY DOGS AU)

[ Venti whistles and looks away, pretending not to see the obvious figure sticking out of the bush. ]

Oh, I sure do love this day! I will now walk towards this very not suspicious bush aaaaannnnd...

[ He shakes the bush suddenly. ]

Boo! Gotcha!

[ask-the-night-beat]

There was a cat like hiss and an apple thrown in venti's direction

"Venti what the heck?!"

Angy but not truly angy cat boi noises

[the-best-bard]

You were practically asking for it.

[ Venti catches the apple using a small gust of wind, taking a bite into it with a smile. ]

Try to be more stealthy next time, won't you?

[ask-the-night-beat]

"Ugh- Not my fault the wind is always listening mimimimi"

He was acting silly, knowing it would probably make Venti laugh, he loved making his closest friends laugh

[the-best-bard]

[ Venti did laugh, finishing the apple swiftly. Mmm, good.. ]

Yeah, I've got ears everywhere. You'll never escape, ha!

[ask-the-night-beat]

Lei smiles and chuckles, his ears flicking and his tail swaying back and forth from time to time

"So, how has your day been going^^?"

[the-best-bard]

Same old, same old. Got to drink a bunch, sing songs, and overall just live life. How about you, friend? Whatcha been up to- besides being terrible at hiding.

[ask-the-night-beat]

Lei gasped and crosses his arms

"I am only terrible at hiding when I wanna be >:<"

"And as for me, I'm waiting for my brother to come over, he agreed to view the nations with me this week!"

[the-best-bard]

Ah, sight-seeing.. always a fun thing to do.

And I guess you always want to be bad at hiding. I find you practically every time.

[ask-the-night-beat]

"Well if I'm bad at hiding them if I do get in true trouble, you can find me easily. I also always have apples or wine, do I not?"

[the-best-bard]

My, my, my.. is that bribery?

[ He laughs. ]

Well, it's a good thing you know what I like then, hm?

…hi…

— @namelessbard-official

[ ...Venti's frozen in place. ]

..you... what..?

[ Whether he was in a state of shock or grief could be considered unknown. ]

[namelessbard-official]

[oh lord I don’t know what to do either I guess I’ll just stand here and vibe in awkward ghost…?]

[the-best-bard]

[ Venti doesn't say anything for a while. ]

...Maybe I did drink too much in my lifetime, man.. now I'm hallucinating dead people!

[ Because this was so a hallucination. Right? Right. ]

[namelessbard-official]

Are you…me?

[the-best-bard]

...Noooot necessarily?

[ Venti frowns at the 'hallucination'. ]

Ah, whatever. It doesn't matter what I say since you're just a figment of my mind anyways. Long short struck short, you died, and I kind of just. Took your appearance because offfffff grief or something. I don't know.

[namelessbard-official]

Hold on a second…

Elf?? Is that you??

[the-best-bard]

[ He narrows his eyes. ]

Uhhm. Depends. Are you actually a hallucination?

[namelessbard-official]

I don’t think I am. I’d know if I was, right?

…right?

[the-best-bard]

Right. Right! If you were actually a hallucination, you would've started degrading me and what not by now, not be confused..

...

So. You wanna. Explain. Maybe?

[namelessbard-official]

I’m sorry, I would have…WHA??

I do remember dying though but that was yesterday, right??

…how long has it been…? Please…

[the-best-bard]

Nothing, doesn't matter, grief stuff don't worry about it.

And, uhm...

It's been... at least 2000 yeeaaarrrss?

[namelessbard-official]

…

[bluescreens]

[the-best-bard]

...Yeaaahhhhh.. you've been gone a while.

[ He crosses his arms behind his back to hide the shaking. ]

But! Why are you here. Like, actually. Aren't you supposed to be up in Heaven or whatever? Not that I don't want you here, I'm just confused.

[namelessbard-official]

I don’t know. I don’t know what’s going on…

but while I’m here…would a hug be in order?

[the-best-bard]

..Can you even give hugs? Aren't you a ghost?

[ Wasn't a direct 'no'. ]

[not-the-darknight]

Oh Diluc!~

[ @the-best-bard saunters up to Diluc, hands behind his back and wearing a mischievous smile. He had his hands behind his back. ]

A little birdie told me that today was a special day!~

((Mod - I slept by then but I still want to answeeeerrrr))

Venti? Oh, I suppose you are talking about the start of the grape harvest?

[Diluc squinted to see what the bard was hiding behind his back.]

[the-best-bard]

Well, I didn't know that. Guess again!

[ Venti keeps whatever's behind his back carefully concealed. ]

[not-the-darknight]

[Diluc raises his eyebrows and then sighs]

You are here because it is my birthday?

[the-best-bard]

Ding ding ding! Correct guess!

[ His smile widens. ]

Now, wanna guess what I have behind my back?

[not-the-darknight]

Your lyre? Or a bottle of wine?

[the-best-bard]

Both incorrect!

[ Venti pulls out a small bottle, and also a bag. ]

Ta-da! I got you grape juice, since you hate wine so much.

[not-the-darknight]

[Diluc's eyes softened slightly as he took the bottle and the bag]

Thank you, Venti.

[His lips curved into a smile]

[the-best-bard]

You're oh so very welcome! And you'll never guess what's in the bag.

[ His smile widens, as he puts his hands on his hips. ]

[not-the-darknight]

You're being very generous today. What is in the bag?

[Diluc looked at Venti expectantly]

[the-best-bard]

Well, I know it won't pay squat of what I actually owe, but it's the thought that counts, right?

[ The bag had some Mora inside. Wonder how he got this.. ]

[not-the-darknight]

[Diluc's eyes widened and he looked at Venti as if the archon had sprouted antlers suddenly]

Er... are you alright? Is everything okay, Venti?

[the-best-bard]

[ Venti shrugs, crossing his arms behind his back with a coy smile. ]

I was just feeling generous, you know! And since I paid you this time.. maaaaaybeee that sets me up for a free drink or two at the tavern? Whaddya say? Eh? Eh?

[ Venti nudges Diluc with his elbow, wiggling his eyebrows. ]

[not-the-darknight]

[Despite the smile on his face, Diluc sighs out loud, rolling his eyes]

Of course you would say that, wouldn't you? That's not how transactions work.

[Shaking his head, he simply shrugged.]

Fine... but just one drink.

[the-best-bard]

Yay!

[ Venti cheers, clapping his hands excitedly. ]

Thanks, Diluc!

[not-the-darknight]

Classic, Venti.

[Diluc sighed again]

Should I not be the one thanking you?

[the-best-bard]

Thanks can always go both ways!~ I can be thanking you for being so generous today!

[not-the-darknight]

[Diluc crossed his arms, lofting his eyebrows slightly]

Only today?

[the-best-bard]

...Wellllll.. we can say you were being extra-generous today! Because you are always very generous and lenient to me all the time!

[ Venti says hurriedly, smiling. ]

[the-best-bard]

ooc: HELLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MOD I wanna be your friend :)

// HELLLOOOOO shakes you /pos //

// OFC WE CAN BE FRIENDS I LOVE NEW FRIENDS YAYAYAY!!! //
