「Should you fall asleep before I say goodbye」

“An old tradition in the city of winds has become quite the fun festivity for newer generations. It was once said that during these spooky months of the year, dead relatives would come to visit their families as an act of love and respect, but ghosts happen to be a little clumsy. As such, the people of Mondstadt would hide their knives, and prepare little cakes for their loved ones to eat before lighting a large bonfire outside of town to guide them back to the world of the dead. While ghosts are clearly not real, the tradition of taking the silverware out of the house, preparing a large feast, and lighting a bonfire as part of an Autumn festival still remains. Of course, there’s a lot of work to do, so hustle and help the citizens of Mondstadt out!”

In Mondstadt, there is constantly something going on; be it a discount on some exquisite wine, a battle of the bards, or – another joyful event. See, even after Weinlesefest, when the colder winds start to blow, it’s still not the end of festivities for the year.

During late autumn and winter, when living conditions used to worsen much, Mondstadtians had been doing what they could not to lose heart after the passing of a loved one. They believed that they came to visit them in their afterlife, giving subtle signs of their presence here and there. And so, another tradition was born: as the ghosts were thought to be friendly, people didn’t want to let them come to harm either, hiding anything that could be a potential danger. (What do you mean ghosts can pass through things? What if they’re a little silly and forget about that? We have to be prepared for every possibility.) They would also prepare a delicious feast for them, so they feel (ful)filled as they eventually leave the world of the living.

Well, people of that time hadn’t really considered that those ‘signs’ from the dead could have been simply a trick of some playful wind current messing around with the not properly fastened door, but… 

Venti proceeded to put on a frilly, not-quite-just-white-at-this-point apron, preparing to help with the baking at Good Hunter. 

“Behind every piece of tradition, there is some kind of story, and every story contains some bit of truth, don’t you think?”

WHO YOU ARE ROUTE

i match you with…

anemo, vayuda turquoise

The winds shall bless the free.

⚜︎ WEAPON TYPE. Catalyst. With just a swish of your hand, the power of the breeze shall be released with the help of your vision.

⚜︎ AFFILIATION. You are an Adventurer from Mondstadt, earning Mora with commissions given to you by Katherine. Sometimes, you assist Bennett or Fischl but you’re often seen under the tree of Venessa, lazing around.

⚜︎ HOW YOU MET THE TRAVELER. The traveler was probably healing through the Statue of the Seven at Windrise when they met you. You taught the traveler how to catch Crystalflies but they end up being better than you because you trip a lot of times in the process and the Crystalflies fly away so quickly.

—thank you so much for acquiring blue’s matchup services<3 looking forward to interact with you guys more!

⌈Let’s sing the night away⌋

Such a joyous season leaves Mondstadt feeling rather cozy, doesn’t it? A small town, a place where everyone knows everyone, and The Angel’s Share is looking to capitalize on that. It’s a karaoke night at the Angel’s Share, and you’re invited. Feel free to attend and help build community bonds through a night of singing and drinking (must be of legal drinking age).

Venti sat at the counter, nursing a drink as his eyes scanned the room with mild interest.

In the background, there could be heard music, though this time obviously not from yours truly (or any tavern-attending bard for that matter). No, this time – oh, this time – it was loud and slightly chaotic; even the normally secluded second floor wasn’t spared.

What’s the occasion, you ask? Why, Angel’s Share – the very Angel’s Share run by none other than the Diluc Stick-in-the– Ragnvindr – was hosting a night of karaoke! Well, would you believe that.

… Well, Venti had no choice but to believe that, as the… symphony… reverberating in the room could only be born of such an authentic event. Not to say sober – that it was certainly not. The musician could only pity the people living around the tavern. Of course, the Archon would never go as far as to call his people’s manifestation of inner passion awful, or horrendous, or cacophonous. However, the person sitting next to him definitely would, if their expression is anything to go by. 

Venti downed the rest of his drink, and his expression changed to a grin. Perhaps it was time to get up and show them how it’s done.
