Anon asked: Inazuma Archon Quest Spoilers!!

hello!! I hope you’re having a wonderful day! I wanted to give an idea on the Reader Impact series; perhaps, the reader taking Signora’s place and getting executed, and the characters’ reactions to that?

childe -

• okay, first off, you’re supposed to be in liyue >:(
• why did no one tell him that you were gonna be in inazuma?????
• he’s so genuinely excited to see you again.
• so… why?
• why does he feel his chest tighten as you fall to the floor?

“my… you’ve gotten… stronger since we last met… sweetheart,” you heaved, slowly turning around on the floor. childe’s character turns to look at you, only for the camera to cut to the heels of the electro archon.

she passed the traveler, staring straight ahead as if they did not exist. you looked back up at the archon, struggling to push your body up from the floor.

“you know… i’m not going down… without a fight…” you hissed, managing to push your body up. you glance over at the traveler, a determined shine in your eyes. you smile the very same smile childe had seen dozens of times before.

“your journey… is yet to be finished…” you mutter, mainly to yourself. “take care… of them, okay? just like we promised…”

and before childe could even process your words, your character charges at the electro archon.

as the legends and tales said, she delivered her divine punishment, cutting your character into pieces. you fell to the ground in a cloud of particles similar to your vision.

“…chat,” childe whispers, staring at the camera. “how… dare you… not warn me about this.”

he’ll spend the rest of the stream hugging his plush of you.

scaramouche -

• scara was already excited after seeing you in the 2.1 trailer.
• (of course, he didn’t let anyone know how excited he was.)
• seeing you again after the unreconciled stars event was, honestly, the happiest his chat has ever seen him.
• and fighting you was the most they’ve seen him hold back.
• totally not because he wanted to see you and hear you longer, no sir.
• but when that final hp disappears from the top of his screen, his heart drops.

“huh… so the rumors… were right,” you huffed as you gathered your weapon from the floor. and as the electro archon’s looming presence griws closer, scaramouche begins physicallyshaking.

“wait…” this is the most vulnerable he will be on stream. he genuinely does not like where mihoyo is taking this.

“i can’t believe… this is how… we meet,” you proclaim as the archon’s sword glows brighter. her piercing gaze doesn’t leave you, the very eyes that you share cutting through your soul.

“and to think… my journey would here… of all places…” contrary to how scaramouche would expect and hope you to react, you simply fix your posture to sit in front of the archon, your legs tucked to support your body. “with all the training… i cannot… i will not raise my hand to you.”

“hold on…”

“i hope to be welcomed to eternity once more.”

those were your final words as your body disintegrated into nothing but ash.

“…” scaramouche doesn’t say anything for the longest time. a few of his viewers complain, but the long time fans know that this scaramouche, the one they are seeing, is the most emotion they will ever see from him.

and what they don’t see is him breaking down at the mere idea of your character disappearing from memory forever.
