Arlecchino x Valkyrie!Reader part 1

Note: I'm not really good a reader inserts, so read at your own discretion. The reader can be seen as any winged woman or a Valkyrie.

“Now for the premium Item of tonight's event!” Arlecchino watched as a cage shrouded in a curtain was wheeled on to the stage.

“What a fine specimen we have here to show you tonight! Such a majestic beauty! An Angel! The starting bid is 5 Million Mora!” The curtain was removed revealing a girl. The only notable things were that not only were her wrists and ankles chained but as well as the pair of wings that protruded from her back.

“7 Million!”

“10 Million!”

“12 Million!”

“13- no 15 Million!”

“27 Million Mora!”

“250 Million Mora.” The whole venue quieted as her voice echoed.

No one bid higher.

“Sold for 250,000,000 to #44!” The auctioneer announced.

It wasn't long before the event concluded and all the bid winners were instructed to the designated areas to pay and collect their winnings.

“You do intend to pay in full?”

“Of course, I was the one who decided the price.” She snapped her fingers and two operatives appeared holding cases of Mora which were then dumped on the ground.

“This seems to be the proper amount, does it not?”

“Fatui…” She watched as the man scrambled to collect even a portion of the currency.

“This is a transaction and you have received your payment. You will find that I tend to be a very impatient individual.”

“R-right this way.” The man quickly unlocked the cage, undoing the shackles on the girls ankles and wings.

“She looks malnourished.”

“She is stable, if properly sustained we wouldn't be able to keep her chained.” The man dragged the girl out by her still bound wrists. Her eyes were vacant but not dulled.

Arlecchino reached out tilting the girl's face up to study her. “You would be quite the damsel if you weren't so ratty.” She pulled her hand away, wiping it on a handkerchief.

“Take her to the house and bathe her, I have other matters to attend to.” She turned away.

Has anyone played the new quests? Because it sounds like they changed Paimons English VA. Is this the second time Because I remember it sounding different when the Imaginarium Theater came out.

I also got skirk.

[xiachino]

Just found my old Risa sketch.

Moments in Zapolyarny Palace #17

Risa: [Puking out everything in their stomach, which was only water and acid, while trembling uncontrollably.] "F-fuck... I'm done. I'm not doing this anymore."

Pierro: "Stop whining, it's just some push ups."

Risa: "My arm got dislocated."

Pierro: "Why didn't you say anything."

Risa: "I did"

Sandrone: "You said you didn't care unless she had a note from Dottore."

Childe: "Dottore is somewhere in Sumeru and his Segments are no where to be found."

Risa: "i- think I might a pinched a nerve when I popped in back in place..." [Faints]

Sandrone: "Who's explaining this to Dottore or The Tsarista."

Childe: "I don't have a death wish, I know my limits."

Pierro: "Regrator, take her to the medic. Everyone else, Half-Right face."

[xiachino]

Moments in Zapolyarny Palace #16

There was an accident that led to the kitchen being unavailable. Everyone, including the Harbingers, was stuck eating rations, preserved food, and whatever they could cook on a small fire.

Signora: "I'm not eating that. Is that even cooked?" [Points at a mysterious substance on her plate]

Sandrone: "it's cooked enough." [Is the one who cooked it but won't eat is herself.]

Columbina: "It could use some salt and a little citrus... but it's edible." [Calmly eating the foreign substance]

Risa: [Eating calmly, they had survived Dottore’s cooking]

Arlecchino: [Eating. Is used to either burning or under cooking things]

Dottore: "It looks like a failed experiment." [Can go months without substance.]

Childe: "It's fine." [Has younger siblings, has put things that looks like it has come from the abyss in his stomach]

Pantalone: [Had the Mora to order food for himself]

Pierro: [Unconscious, dying from food poisoning]

Pulcinella: [Didn't touch it, has had enough cases of flood poisoning at his age.]

Capitano: [Doesn't really need to eat and has to deal with the taste of his own rotting flesh whenever the smell hits his nose.]

Scaramouche: [Straight up refused]

[xiachino]

It's not what it looks like, he's obviously drunk. *Sweats* See, there's even a bottle in his hand. I swear he's breathing. [He is not]

[xiachino]

Moments in Zapolyarny Palace #15

Arlecchino, Risa, The twins, and Freminet ended up in the My Hero universe from a leyline malfunction for a while and came back with two extra members of the hearth.

Dottore: "I'm confused." [He looks down at the little girl Risa brought to the palace in confusion.]

Risa: "This is your niece, Eri."

Dottore: "How?"

Childe: "I can explain this one, my friend. You see.... when a man and a woman, or in this case Arlecchino and Xia, love each other, they do certain things-"

Scaramouche: "We know how babies are made! Why does this one look like him?!" [Points at Dottore] "Risa is adopted!"

Risa: "Maybe we're distantly related, we both have Sumerian orgins."

Scaramouche: "When did you even? This child is too old to be yours and that woman's, the other one makes sense-" [He points to the infant cradled in Risa's arms turns of brown and white curls framing its head. It's eyes having distinct red crosses.] "But this one doesn't, it's too old." [Gesturing to Eri]

Risa: "We took her in."

Dottore: [Let's out a relieved breath] "I was worried. You and Arlecchino wouldn't- What color is your hair when your powers are dormant?"

Risa: "Brown..."

Childe: "My point exactly."

Dottore: "The Knave has white hair.... is there any other descendants of the Crimson moon dynasty that I'm unaware of?"

Scaramouche: "No, she's the only living one. [Amused] Well, she was... the population is up to a 2."

Risa: "Her name is Myra."

Dottore: ". . ."

_______________

Arlecchino: "I knew what I was doing. My beef is with him, not my wife."

Risa: "We got married?"

Arlecchino: "Hold out your hand."

Risa:??? [They held their hand out to her.]

Arlecchino: "Yes, yes we did." [She slipped a silver ring on their finger."

Risa: ". . ."

___________

Eri: "Auntie Rosalyne said that Mom would let me visit Mondstadt.

Scaramouche: "You've met Signora?"

Eri: [Nod.]

Evens and Odds

“When an even number meets another even, the outcome remains even, a steadfast truth. Subtracting one even from another yields the same result, a harmony of numbers. Two odds, when united, create an even sum, a curious twist of fate. Likewise, removing one odd from another leads to an even result, a balance restored. Yet, when an odd number encounters an even, the result turns odd, a disruption in the flow. To remedy this, one must either eliminate the odd or introduce another to restore equilibrium.

People mirror this dance of numbers; an odd soul may seek another to find balance, yet what happens when a new odd enters the scene? The equilibrium falters, and one may find themselves outnumbered, realizing that the new odd complements the other better than they ever could. Thus, one stands alone, the solitary odd amidst a sea of evens.”    

Paimon sensed the inevitable moment approaching.

The moment when her adventures with The Traveler would reach their conclusion.

The moment when The Traveler would reunite with their sibling.

The moment The Traveler would journey to another realm.

The moment The Traveler would part ways with her.

Once more, she would be cast aside.

Alone again.

All she could do was measure the seconds as they transformed into minutes, then hours, days, weeks, months, and ultimately years.

As they traversed from one nation to another.

From Mondstadt to Liyue.

From Liyue to Inazuma.

From Inazuma to Sumeru.

From Sumeru to Fontaine.

From Fontaine to Natlan.

From Natlan to Snezhnaya.

With each land they explored, they drew nearer to The Traveler's sibling, and closer to the end of their shared journey.

She attempted to dismiss it, yet in every nation, there was an oddity, but each oddity was balanced by another.

Venti and Dvalin.

Zhongli and Childe.

Raiden Ei and Yae Miko.

Wanderer and Nahida.

Furina and Neuvillette.

Mavuika and Xilonen.

The Tsarista and her Harbingers.

The list continued, swirling in her mind.

She was an oddity, and The Traveler was too, yet The Traveler's sibling was also an oddity, balancing The Traveler in ways she could never achieve.

At times, she wished they would never find their sibling, to avoid the heartache of separation. She kept this thought buried deep.

But then she recognized that such a wish would sadden The Traveler, and she could never bear to bring them sorrow; they were her sole companion, and she didn’t want to cause them pain. What kind of friend would she be if she did?

What sort of guide would she be if she failed to lead them to their sister? She was merely a guide; her personal feelings should not interfere with her responsibilities. After all, she was just an annoyance.

Guilt washed over her; how could she ever harbor such a wish? She dreaded the thought of being left alone once more.

What if no one came to her aid next time?

What if no one could rescue her from the ocean as The Traveler had once done before?

What if she remained the outlier forever?

Her role was to assist the traveler until they no longer required her to balance their journey.

Then she would revert to being the odd one again. Perhaps that was preferable; she would always be the one who stood apart.

“Paimon, come— is something bothering you? You’re usually more talkative.” The traveler glanced back, their golden eyes reflecting concern.

“Nothing’s wrong! I— Paimon is perfectly fine! Paimon was just pondering what you might cook for dinner. Paimon’s really craving some sticky honey roast; it’s been ages since we had that!” She quickly shook her head and flitted around the traveler in excitement.

“Your stomach is deeper than the abyss.” The traveler looked at her with a blank expression before shaking their head, a gentle smile forming on their lips.

She was okay, truly. She would remain with The Traveler until they located their sibling and moved on without her. For the moment, she would ignore the throbbing pain in her chest.

Being the only odd one out didn’t bother her, truly.

Equilibrium - Balance

Based off of Act IV: Chapter IV (Bedtime Story). From Genshin Impact.

[xiachino]

In an African Animals AU, what would everyone be?

I planned to put Arlecchino as a lioness who took over her pride.

Risa as a Jackal

Freminet as a Bat eared fox

Lyney and Lynette as Servals

Il Dottore as a Hyena

Childe as a Rüppels Fox or Wild dog

Pantalone as a Fork tailed drongo.

I'm still thinking about other characters

[xiachino]

Moments in Zapolyarny Palace #14

Arlecchino: "Did someone hit you?" [She cupped Risa's cheek where a bruise was slowly becoming visible.]

Risa: "uhm.... no?" [There brows furrowed slightly]

Arlecchino: [Her eyes narrowed] "Why is your cheek bru-"

Childe: [Cutting Arlecchino off when he busts into the room] "Sup, comrades. Anyone up for a spar?"

Risa: [Stiffens on instinct, they were on the receiving end on his begging for a spar recently.] "N-no..." [tries to inch away.]

Arlecchino: [Her gaze sharpened as she noticed the way Risa stiffened] "So that's why....." [Her gaze turns to childe] "I supposed I can amuse you for a moment, 8 could use a warmup."

Childe: "Finally! A worthy apponent." [His usual smirk turned into a blood thirsty grin]

Risa: "You don't actually plan to fight-"

Arlecchino: "Rest assured, a rank as low as 11th can not put a scratch on me."

Risa: "I'm not worried about-"

Arlecchino: "I will refrain from killing him, just maiming."

Risa: "That's not-"

Arlecchino: "Let me handle it." [She gave them a gentle kiss on the cheek.]

Risa: "Let me- ! . . . ........" [They cut themself off that time, brain rebooting and buffering]

_____________________

Dottore: "You walked into the door this morning when you were half sleep."

Risa: "mhm"

Dottore: "When the bruise started to form, you ran into the Knave, and she questioned you."

Risa: "yeah..."

Dottore: "This in some way led to her agreeing to fight Tartaglia."

Risa: "Yes."

Dottore: "The fight end up with Tartaglia in this state?"

Risa: "Yessir"

Dottore: "And the fight burned over half if the training room?"

Risa: "... Yes?" [The burnt area was actually on them. Arlecchino didn't even have to use her vision to overpowered Childe.]

Moments in Zapolyarny Palace #13

Prime: "So that's what happened." [Explaining how he deactivated his segments for the electro Gnosis.]

Risa: "You erased my brother?"

Prime: "I am your brother."

_______________

A large explosion shook the palace. From outside a hole could be seen in the lower side of the building with a giant glacier sticking out of it.

Risa: "You ass!"

Dottore: [Sprawled out in the snow, his mask broken in half with blood dripping down the side of his face.] "He can be rebuilt."

Risa: That doesn't fix things!"

The second time, it was electro.
