Celestia University's Skittle Squad

Summary:

Lumine has gathered all of her friends in one place! A large group chat! Surely nothing crazy will come out of this, right?

Notes:

A modern with magic group chat!! I like chatfics, but not so much the ones who bully characters like Venti, Cyno, and Kaeya excessively. So here's a self-indulgent little chatfic. I hope you enjoy!

Just to clarify, most of the characters are in college, but the ones who are high schoolers will be introduced in a later chapter.

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Navia: EMERGENCY

Navia: I NEED NEW CLOTHES

 

Chiori: you want me to make you new clothes already?

 

Navia: NO

Navia: I WAS TALKING TO CLORINDE AND SHE SPILLED HER ICED COFFEE ON ME

Navia: I NEED A NEW OUTFIT

 

Gorou: your door is unlocked right? I can get you a quick outfit and run to your building

Gorou: Asmoday Hall right?

 

Navia: YESS THANK YOU SO MUCH

Navia: I KNOW IT WAS AN ACCIDENT BUT IM A BIT PEEVED

Navia: IT WAS THE FIRST OUTFIT CHIORI DESIGNED FOR ME

 

Zhongli: it’s okay, it can most likely be washed in warm water. hotter water is typically better for stains, but warmer water is safer for your clothes

 

Gorou: zhongli is right!! also im omw!! eta 5 minutes!!

 

Navia: you’re a lifesaver gorou!!

Navia: and thank you zhongli!!

 

Yun Jin: i'm sure the outfit can be saved!! manifest it!!

 

Navia: you're right!!! the outfit will be fine. i will ask gorou to bring it back to the dorms for me

 

Zhongli: i can wash it for you. i plan on doing laundry with ningguang soon anyway

 

Navia: yes please thank you so much!!

Navia: i feel so relieved now!!

Navia: you know... it felt like clorinde was trying to tell me something important before she crashed into me

 

Ningguang: perhaps she was trying to ask you out on a date

 

Navia: she better!! ive been waiting for far too long

 

Gorou: i'm inside the building!! where are you

 

Navia: third floor gender neutral bathroom

 

Gorou: omw

Gorou: you know, you can just ask clorinde out

 

Yun Jin: rare moment of gorou giving good love advice

 

Arataki Itto: HE GIVES GREAT ADVICE

Arataki Itto: ASK HER OUT!! YOU GOT THIS

 

Navia: tysm everyone!! I'll ask her out after our classes!!

Navia: i think I can turn this in my favor

Mon, 11:24 AM

 

Clorinde: the girl im in love with is mad at me

Clorinde: I want to die

 

Keqing: real

 

Beidou: REAL

 

Lisa: you poor thing

Lisa: you’ll work things out with her soon

 

Cyno: do you mind telling us what happened

 

Clorinde: i tried asking her out before our classes started since we were walking together

Clorinde: someone came by with a ladder and when i moved out the way i bumped into her and spilled my ice coffee all over her

 

Shinobu: you’re talking about navia aren’t you

 

Clorinde: yeah

 

Shinobu: i saw them talking about it in the geo gc. itto showed me it

Shinobu: i don’t think she is too mad at you. she seems mostly afraid for her outfit bc it is important to her. chiori made it for her

 

Clorinde: well now i feel worse

 

Shinobu: if you apologize and get her a gift im sure she will forgive you. then you can try asking her out again

 

Clorinde: alright. thank you shinobu

 

Shinobu: anytime

 

Mon, 2:41 PM

 

Clorinde: Navia forgave me and the dress was saved. we are going on our first date on Saturday

Clorinde: we asked each other out at the same time

 

Cyno: congrats

 

Beidou: WOOO I KNEW YOU COULD DO IT

 

Keqing: im glad everything worked out!!

 

Shinobu: be sure to tell us how the date goes


Clorinde: of course

Notes:

Guess who my favorite Electro character is. I don't think I made it very obvious lol.

Also, I will let the masses vote on some of the ships possible ships. Today, it's for our favorite puppet boy, Wanderer. Do you guys want Heikazuscara, SethosScara, or both?

Chapter 5

Summary:

Dendro Dorms Groupchat!!

Notes:

It's a short chapter because I see the Dendro group chat as a tad dead tbh. They're just all busy people. Like, Alhaitham would definitely leave all of them on read except for Nahida.

(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

Chapter Text

Nahida: play nice…

 

Kirara: ur fumbling cyno???

 

Tighnari: NO IM NOT

 

Emilie: huh??

 

Alhaitham: he very much is

 

Tighnari: I DONT WANT TO HEAR SHIT FROM YOU

Tighnari: ALWAYS FUCKING AND ARGUING

Tighnari: I HAVENT SLEPT IN THE DORM IN THREE DAYS

 

Kaveh: WHAT NO NO NO

 

Alhaitham: okay and? just stop listening

 

Tighnari: one day i’m gonna snap and no one will find your body

 

Kirara: make kaveh a widow!! Im sick of them too!!

 

Alhaitham: it’s widower

 

Kirara: ik what i said

 

Emilie: wait are you guys finally dating??

 

Kaveh: NO

Kaveh: WHY WOULD YOU THINK THAT

 

Tighnari: take a wild guess

Tighnari: you guys make me want to commit crimes

 

Alhaitham: maybe if you weren’t fumbling cyno…

 

Tighnari: okay so that’s how it is

 

Nahida: please stop antagonizing each other!!!

 

Emilie: we’re supposed to be the normal and well behaved dorm

 

Kirara: soundproof the walls! Soundproof the walls!

 

Nahida: actually, that’s not a bad idea. I can bring it up at the next council meeting

 

Thu, 6:52 PM

 

Kirara: someone ordered a package!! I left it in the common room

 

Emilie: oh that’s mine

 

Kirara: why does it smell like chemicals

Kirara: do we have to worry

 

Emilie: :)

 

Kirara: understandable have a nice day

 

Fri, 3:43 PM

 

Nahida: guess what!!

Nahida: the dorms will be renovated!!

 

Kirara: SOUNDPROOF WALLS?!?

Kirara: KAVEH AND ALHAITHAM WERE GOOD FOR SOMETHING FOR ONCE

 

Kaveh: HEY?!?

 

Nahida: :)

 

Sat, 5:22 PM

 

Nahida: how do i convince someone to stop committing atrocities?

 

Kaveh: hat guy?

 

Nahida: hat guy!!

 

Kirara: i say we let him!! the atrocities build character

 

Tighnari: we dont want that kind of character

 

Kaveh: okay guys serious answer time

Kaveh: get him a boyfriend. maybe three

 

Tighnari: throw sticks at him

 

Nahida: still mad about the lightning?

 

Tighnari: why would i not be mad about the lightning

 

Kirara: get him a pet!!

 

Nahida: his dorm is pet free since venti is allergic to cats

 

Kirara: wait does that mean i cant go to the anemo dorms??

 

Kaveh: youre a cat?

 

Kirara: im a nekomata!!

 

Tighnari: no anemo dorms for you

 

Kirara: meow :(

 

Tighnari: stop that

 

Kirara: meow?

 

Mon, 4:58 PM

 

Emilie: i met cyno today!! we’re chem lab partners!!

 

Tighnari: how was it

 

Kaveh: any bad jokes

 

Emilie: nope. we were both focused on our work

 

Tighnari: yeah he usually doesnt tell any jokes unless it’s during his free time

 

Emilie: i like him. He already saved my life like three times bc i kept on trying to smell the chemicals and i would forget that i should not do that

Emilie: also he’s super smart and always knows what to do. the pre-med students are already big fans of him

 

Kaveh: that’s amazing actually

Kaveh: they gave him such a hard time at the akademiya

 

Tighnari: right. It was so infuriating

 

Emilie: no need to worry about that anymore!! I think the pre-med students would castrate someone if they hurt their guarantee of a good gpa

 

Tighnari: pre-med students piss me off

 

Kirara: werent you pre-med last year

 

Tighnari: ik better now

 

Kaveh: sure tighnari

 

Tighnari: go back to being in debt

 

Kaveh: this is why cyno is my favorite and not you

Notes:

I have not played Emilie's story quest yet, so I have no idea what her deal is. Hopefully, I didn't butcher her too much. Also, I think Tighnari and Alhaitham having beef is funny

I cannot wait until the modern with magic tag actually becomes relevant.

Kokomi: good

 

Furina: neuvillette is going to want to invite wriothesley (yeah i saw you typing) and i want to invite navia and clorinde. is that alright?

 

Neuvillette: i resent that

 

Ayato: at this rate we should just invite everyone we know. It would be much more efficient that way

 

Yelan: you just want to invite chevreuse because she’s ayaka’s friend but you dont have her contact information

 

Ayato: ah, so you do not want spicy dishes on the menu

 

Yelan: i will remember this

Notes:

Headcanon time!!

Aromantics: Rosaria, Chiori, Yelan
Ace Spectrum: Lumine (ace lesbian), Hu Tao (ace lesbian), Kaeya (bi ace), Venti (pan ace), Zhongli (demi ace), Cyno (demi ace)
Demisexual: Albedo, Xiao, Layla, Kunikuzushi
Aroace: Furina, Gorou, Diluc, Lynette, Shenhe, Shinobu

I have more headcanons for the highschool group chat but they are not yet relevant.

I am ace so naturally many characters are now on the aro/ace spectrum I don't make the rules.

How did they get to Liyue so fast anyways? Tune in next time!

Aether: why were you in the cryo dorms

 

Venti: i was in the cryo dorms trying to avoid the trip, but it seems as if this is one event i cannot skip

Venti: with a journey so perilous and long, you never know when you may need a song 

 

Zhongli: streetward rambler has asked for our presence, so we will be visiting her home tomorrow

Zhongli: she explicitly requested venti be ready to play music, unfortunately

 

Venti: wdym unfortunately???

 

Gorou: and shenhe promised to guide me through jueyun karst. we’re gonna climb Mt Aocang together

 

Shenhe: master has recently moved into liyue harbor, but i still consider Mt Aocang home. i am looking forward to climbing it again

Aether: oh i might run into you guys then!

Aether: i’m heading over to the chasm for my archeology project

 

Yelan: i’m traveling with him so he doesnt get lost

Yelan: that suspicious cousin of his is paying me a lot of mora to keep an eye on him and paimon

 

Yanfei: and on sunday we’ll all meet up again and take on cinnabar cliffs

 

Nahida: is everyone ready to go to sumeru?

 

Emilie: i’m making a separate chat this will get confusing fast

Xiao: let her speak

 

Zhongli: are you trying to silence women aether

 

Xiao: typical

Tighnari: i can find them if you want

 

Nahida: just check on them and remind them to turn on their location

Nahida: hat guy and i are going further into Chinvat Ravine, so we may not answer immediately. we’ll be sure to check in again by 2pm

 

Sethos: make sure to stay safe! i’m sticking with kazuha and heizou for now

 

Tighnari: kaveh is with me. we’re looking for emilie and sucrose at gandha hill

 

Sethos: not sure why you guys thought i could show kazuha and heizou around when i do not live in the rainforest but im doing my best

Sethos: we’re sticking by yazadaha pool for now bc it’s inspiring kazuha to make haikus

 

Kaveh: now that i think about it maybe that was not our best move

 

Wanderer: the akademiya’s finest…

 

Sethos: hat guy!!

Sethos: not you only showing up to drag people

 

Wanderer: i have my priorities straight

Wanderer: also i’m about to lose signal real quick. do not die while im not there to point and laugh

 

Tighnari: how touching…

Tighnari: anyway we should go to pardis dhyai tmr actually im sure kazuha, emilie, and sucrose would love it

 

Sethos: why did we not think of that earlier

Sethos: tighnari lock in!!

 

Kaveh: yeah tighnari

 

Tighnari: how about you turn off your phone and help me look for emilie and sucrose you lummox

Tighnari: sethos go back to kazuha and heizou

Sucrose: so sorry for worrying you guys!! Emilie and i wandered a bit too far and lost service for a bit

Sucrose: we’ll be sure to keep location sharing on from now on

 

Emilie: we found so many good samples though!

 

Sucrose: yes we did! we’re going to stick with tighnari and kaveh from now on though

 

Sethos: definitely for the better. we’ll probably make our way to you guys in like an hour or so

Sethos: you are definitely going to enjoy pardhis dhyai

 

Sucrose: what is that?

 

Sethos: tighnari can definitely explain it better than me because he used to do research there, but it’s basically a garden where amurta scholars often do their research

 

Sucrose: oh i see

Yelan: it’s none of your business really

 

Paimon: WE’RE STUCK HERE TOO SO IT US OUR BUSINESS


Yanfei: please just drop it

Notes:

I'm splitting this chapter in half because I need to stop procrastinating on my stats work. I'm mostly done writing it, so it'll be out in a few days.
I am also mostly done with the highschool groupchat so that will also be coming up soon.
Anyways I like to sprinkle in asexuality into characters when I'm bored. There's not enough ace or aro rep I fear.

Chapter 11

Summary:

we are finally getting some more characters guys. yippee

everyone say bye bye chasm! it's not coming back for a bit

Notes:

I do not have a beta reader, nor do I reread my work once it's posted, so hopefully, this is not garbage. if the last chapter was a bit incoherent uhhh nuh-uh it is no longer mine.

(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

Chapter Text

sonic boom watch party

 

Sun, 8:00 AM

 

Venti: xiao’s siblings contacted me earlier

Venti: they’re on their way

 

Zhongli: they could most likely sense the shift in the chasm’s leylines

 

Gorou: im in position!

Gorou: i have a good vantage point overlooking the maw

 

Shenhe: i’m in position

 

Zhongli: make sure to stay within gorou’s sight

 

Shenhe: yes ma’am

 

Zhongli: venti?

 

Venti: i finished drawing the circle

Venti: getting into position

 

Shenhe: are you going to play your flute?

 

Venti: yes! im using my magic to power up zhongli’s magic

Venti: hopefully xiao and yelan are able to meet her halfway

 

Gorou: you never explained what exactly we should expect

 

Zhongli: our friends have fallen into a domain within the chasm this has agitated the leylines and the karma it has stored, which are now attempting to trap them there

Zhongli: i’m attempting to create a passage using my magic so that they may exit the domain and the chasm, but doing so will release that karma in a tangible form

 

Shenhe: i am an exorcist, so i can deal with the karma. but i may be overwhelmed

 

Gorou: i understand. i’ll look out for you too

 

Shenhe: appreciated

 

Venti: and i am defending zhongli

 

Shenhe: while playing music?

 

Venti: don’t tell me you lack faith in me

 

Shenhe: i do not

 

Venti: awww youre so sweet

 

Shenhe: i am?

 

Zhongli: gorou, focus on leading our friends out of here the moment you see them

 

Gorou: yes ma’am!

 

Zhongli: venti, do you know when the other yakshas will be arriving?

 

Venti: soon! eta is maybe 5 minutes

Venti: they have our locations dw

Nahida: no breaking legs!! we will move on for now! we were given a list of cultural festivals and events to prepare for. luckily I still have it! do you want me to send the file here?

 

Jean: yes please

Jean: venti why would you name the gc this??

 

Venti: u no like?

 

Jean: me no like

 

Venti: damn

Venti: anyways

 

Nahida: [ eventlist.pdf ]

 

Jean: The first event of the year is Weinlesefest. I can take care of that

 

Venti: we*

 

Kaeya: we*

 

Eula: we*

 

Ningguang: Right after that is Moonchase.

 

Nahida: There has been talk of a halloween event and a winter concert at the end of december. As well as plans already underway for the Sabzeruz festival.

Nahida: And we can’t forget about the sports festival. the dendro dorms are dreading it

 

Raiden: dendro has no chance of survival

 

Zhongli: Raiden…

 

Raiden: electro dorms will remove all obstacles on our path to victory

 

Furina: haunted house! Haunted house!!!

 

Venti: guys i think furina is looking forward to the haunted house

Venti: just a hunch tho

 

Furina: man…

 

Ganyu: I'm very much looking forward to the Sabzeruz festival this year!

 

Ayaka: is Nilou performing

 

Nahida: That’s the plan!!

 

Ayaka: I can’t wait!!

Ayaka: Moving on, the fontinalia festival and the mikawa flower festival are both in the winter months

 

Furina: we’re thinking of adding a film competition to the fontinalia festival!!

 

Kokomi: oh? the mikawa flower festival?

 

Ayato: a recent addition

Ayato: this year the festival falls after lantern right, if I’m not mistaken

 

Ganyu: you are correct

 

Nahida: and windblume, irodori, and the wisdom gala all fall in spring

Ganyu: this seems like a lot but if we divide it by national student governments it is much more manageable

 

Furina: im so excited!! The early plans for all of these events are looking great!!

 

Venti: so many future concerts and performances!! I’m already practicing the piece im playing for Weinlesefest

 

Zhongli: We will still need to be ready to make changes. There is talk of partnering with the highschool for a few events

Jean has added 10 + people to unnamed groupchat

Jean has renamed the groupchat to mentors

 

mentors

 

Thur, 1:04 PM

 

Jean: @everyone

Jean: there are sixteen highschoolers from Teyvat High who are in the mentorship program. those of you who have highschool mentees should have gotten in touch with them months ago.

Jean: since the university will be hosting events open to the highschoolers the student council had decided that it was best to make sure that you guys are doing your jobs and making connections with these students

 

Tighnari: is this bc windtrace is coming up?

 

Ayaka: perchance

 

Ganyu: Ayaka you cant just say perchance

 

Jean: that’s only part of the reason

Jean: the other part is that their grades are really bad

Jean: it is becoming a cause for concern

Jean: those of you who only mentor elementary or middle school students dont need to worry about this, but any suggestions are appreciated

 

Ayaka: perhaps we can organize some sort of tutoring?

 

Tighnari: we definitely need to encourage them to study and give them study tips

 

Eula: oh like pomodoro method

 

Shenhe: or we could just kidnap them

 

Ganyu: shenhe no…

 

Kaeya: girl why would we do that

 

Shenhe: to force them to study

 

Beidou: i like this plan

 

Jean: i dont

Jean: we are not kidnapping highschoolers

 

Shinobu: what the…

 

Arataki Itto: ITS A GOOD THING ME AND SHINOBU ONLY HAVE HANAKADO

 

Wriothesley: yeah i only have sigewinne and she’s already studying hard

Wriothesley: making me look bad in comparison like i did not do shit in middle school

 

Kaeya: well, that’s not a difficult feat to accomplish

 

Wriothesley: okay mentor of three arsonists

 

Kaeya: dont talk about diona and bennett like that. they’re perfectly behaved

 

Jean: you’re right about klee though

 

Kaeya: yeah definitely little girl is an arsonist just like her mother

 

Clorinde: wriothesley

Clorinde: werent you arrested in middle school

 

Wriothesley: objection

Wriothesley: mind your damn business

 

Clorinde: prepare to die shitstain

Shenhe: how did she even breathe during it

 

Kaeya: she had to lecture klee for four hours after she caused a forest fire

Kaeya: razor found a way to put it out with minimal damage but he got hurt

Ganyu: this one cannot

Ganyu: he confided something private, and this one will respect his wishes

 

Wriothesley: fair enough

 

Kaeya: you will hear about it sooner rather than later anyway

 

Wriothesley: alright

Wriothesley: ominous, but i’ll take it


Layla: we’re heading back now. It started to rain

Notes:

Why is renovating the beach house only taking a month when, in reality, it takes longer than that? Because the Kamisatos are rich rich and construction laws are merely a suggestion.

Chronically ill Lisa and Kaeya with chronic pain, my beloveds. I'm thinking of giving Lisa rheumatoid arthritis and fibromyalgia. Kaeya has nerve damage from burn scars and is visually impaired (hence, eyepatch).

Andrius is aro ace. Source: trust

I'm pushing back the beach episode. Totally not because I forgot...

Also, for the person who wanted Sigewinne. She's coming. She has to join in on the Wriothesley slander.

Chapter 14

Summary:

The whole gang is (almost) here.

This takes place on a Discord server. Why? I was feeling whimsical. Took a few liberties with how Discord works, and you need zero previous Discord experience to enjoy.

Notes:

Still debating whether I want to include Natlan characters. I never finished the archon quests, though, so I don't know the characters as well. Natlan really annoyed me tbh. One of the prettiest regions by far, but for the longest time, I only had Kachina. You can imagine how tedious exploration and fighting became. I didn't really like the designs of the characters (in my heart, they all have wayyy more melanin), and I hated how I needed Nightsoul for like everything. I have a vague idea of where I would place them, who they're rooming with, etc., etc., but that's it for now.

Did I skip the Natlan quests to get started on the Mondstadt interlude quest? ....Mayhaps.

(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

Sigewinne: you will hear from me shortly

 

Wriothesley: lol okay I’ll see you at 4

Wriothesley: SHE SPRAYED ME WITH A WATER GUN???

 

Furina: LMFAOAOOO

 

Clorinde: good job sigewinne

 

Navia: awww she’s using my gift!!

 

Wriothesley: why would you get her that

 

Navia: bc she asked for it?

 

Neuvillette: sigewinne you know you’re not allowed to bring that with you to school

 

Wriothesley: that is not the problem here

 

Sigewinne: if you think about it this is all training for me to be a nurse

 

Lyney: what kind of logic is this

 

Navia: no no she’s onto something

 

Clorinde: i agree

 

Wriothesley: you only agree bc you’re down bad for navia.

 

Clorinde: i know you too well

Clorinde: dont make me mad

Hu Tao: NOOOOO MY FAITH iN MY FRIENDS WILL BE MY DOWNFALL

 

Neuvillette: …anyway

Neuvillette: i am not sure what elynas’ relationship was with my biological parents. he claims to be my godparent. when his children were born he would task me with watching over them

Neuvillette: Furina has met his daughters multiple times. Sigewinne is one of them. yet Furina has never met Elynas before

 

Furina: which is SO UNFAIR sigewinne is he hiding from me

 

Sigewinne: no you are just very unlucky

 

Furina: drat

Rosaria: dont even think about it

Rosaria: i will tell andrius

 

Diona: booo you’re no fun

 

Sigewinne: i dont think i can blow up illness

Collei: why do so many people have it out for this childe?

 

Xinyan: i dont!! we’re buddies

Venti: pipe bomb

6:15 PM

 

Cyno: so i have come across ororon for the first time

Cyno: we were at the cafe and he was staring in my direction for a while. I was about to ask him if he wanted to speak to me until he came up to me first and said “i am so sorry, i did not mean to stare at you, but there is a very large crow at the window behind you”

 

Venti: was there a big crow behind you?

 

Cyno: the biggest crow i have ever came across in my life

 

Collei: is this like the build up to some sort of joke?

 

Cyno: for once it is not

Cyno: [bigbirdisthatyou???.jpg]

 

Sethos: wtf is that??

 

Collei: that cannot be normal

 

Kaveh: it’s taller than nahida?!?

 

Cyno: it was also surprisingly domesticated we went up to it and it let us pet it 

 

Tighnari: why would you go up and pet it

 

Cyno: ororon seemed fine so i doubted that it was going to turn around and attack me

 

Kaveh: bc that would be transphobic

 

Cyno: exactly

 

Venti: is that oz???

Venti: @Fischl girl is that your bird

 

Fischl: Oh my! It seems like you have come across the prinzessin’s companion out and about. It would be most appreciated if you would accompany him for the time being as the prinzessin de verteilung makes haste to your current location

 

Cyno: yes your highness

 

Lumine: how did fischl even lose such a big ass bird

 

Cyno: watch that fowl language lumine

 

Lumine:

 

Aether: no but she’s right how do you lose track of a bird that big

 

Fischl: Dear travelers of the stellar sea, I mean not to offend with my forthcoming words, but I do long for those days in which you were less verbose...

 

Oz: What Mein Fraulein means to say is: shut the fuck up

 

Aether: THE BIRD SPEAKS

 

Lumine: THE BIRD CAN TYPE YOU MEAN

 

Xingqiu: oh you two werent aware? ofc oz can text what do you take him for

 

Fischl: the lack of respect for my dear companion is appalling

 

Cyno: anyways me and ororon are buddies now

Cyno: you could say we are…

Cyno: birds of a feather

 

Tighnari: and there it is…

 

Cyno: do you get the joke

Cyno: dont tell me it flew over your head

 

Tighnari: no need to explain it

 

Charlotte: oh that’s funny!!

 

Albedo: oh i get it. birds of a feather bc you have bonded over the shared experience of encountering oz

Albedo: it is quite humorous

 

Charlotte: i also liked the follow up joke!! Flew over your head is so clever

 

Cyno: oh we are going to get along quite well

 

Hu Tao: oh you guys simply quack me up

 

Venti: it seems like toucan play at that game!

 

Tighnari: oh archons

 

Kirara: i feel very unsafe with the energy that has been created in the server today

 

Kokomi: this may become dangerous

 

Furina: dont tell me our humor is too much to swallow

 

Wanderer: cant believe you guys stooped to bird puns

 

Gaming: enjoying a good pun is no cardinal sin

 

Tighnari: thats it im out

 

Kokomi: tactical retreat!!

 

Charlotte: please tell me we will keep in touch


Venti: i am making a new groupchat as we speak

Notes:

I AM ALIVE. I survived the worst round of finals in my existence, though.

I will be updating the tags and changing the relationship tags. Sorry to any Zhongli/Childe shippers in advance, but what's gonna happen to them is spoilers, so I will not be divulging more information at this time. All good things, trust.

Also, I'm super sorry for all of the tag changes. I jumped the gun when I first posted this chatfic. Tagging as I go is definitely my preferred method of doing things. Don't worry though, I'm not going to suddenly start shipping the characters with someone else.

I wanted to include some more of the characters, but it was reaching 3,000 words, so I decided to end it here.

Chapter 15

Summary:

The return of the whole group college gc

Notes:

I'm alive!!! The curse has not gotten me.
Writing Cyno is SO HARD. I love him!! I love his silly jokes!! They make me giggle every time he throws one at me. It's a shame that in-game we have to be a hater. Unfortunately, I am not funny on command.

Raiden: proceed with caution i might burn down your kitchen

Raiden: come back to me when you grow taller

 

Cyno: come back to me when you can cook

 

Gorou: how about we don’t do this!

Gorou: you’re gonna scare away navia

 

Furina: the only person with the patience to tolerate your abysmal cooking skills and the willingness to teach you how to bake

 

Raiden: i despise you all

 

Cyno: okay

 

Gorou: sure you do

 

Furina: have fun with navia!!

 

Sat, 5:15 PM

 

Ningguang: we are banning raiden from the geo dorm kitchen

Ningguang: effective immediately

 

Furina: we could do that?

 

Cyno: not officially

Cyno: but is anyone really going to argue with ningguang

 

Furina: point taken

 

Gorou: raiden was not the first person to be banned from our kitchen

 

Furina: oh really?

 

Yun Jin: yeah i think we banned hu tao

 

Hu Tao: i was framed!!!

Lumine: tf u mean by found 

 

Childe: dont worry about it

 

Ganyu: oh she’s alive!

 

Lumine: you thought she was dead??

 

Shenhe: yeah

 

Wriothesley: pretty much

 

Rosaria: we paid our respects and everything

 

Ayaka: we havent seen her since move-in even though she’s a part of the cryo dorms

 

Rosaria: allegedly

 

Ayaka: so we assumed she transferred somewhere else

 

Kaeya: or dropped out

 

Aloy: i wish

 

Childe: i found her in the woods fighting a bear

 

Kirara: …we have bears??

 

Aloy: not anymore

 

Kirara: okay

 

Childe: i have done my good deed for the day

Childe: time to bother zhongli

 

Lumine: you have problems

 

Childe: took you that long to find out?

 

Lumine: no i just felt like insulting you

 

Ganyu: we’re ordering food at the cryo dorms!

Lumine: you just got here??? come back???

 

Aloy: nah

 

Sun, 9:35 AM

 

Yanfei: it has been raining nonstop for a week now

Yanfei: my codices :(

 

Lyney: the hydro dragon must be devastated

 

Yoimiya: hydro dragon?

 

Lyney: yeah! in fontaine we say that it rains bc the hydro dragon is crying

Lyney: and that there is one main elemental dragon for each nation

 

Nahida: oh!! you mean the seven sovereign dragons

Nahida: in sumeru we believe that the sovereign dragon of dendro resides in the desert

 

Yoimiya: why would a creature of dendro reside in the desert?

 

Nahida: it is said that she has created her own realm within the desert, and within her body is an oasis where smaller lifeforms reside

Nahida: however the accounts vary on why exactly she stays in the desert

 

Yoimiya: if the dragon of dendro lives in the desert instead of the forest, would the dragon of hydro live on land instead of under the sea?

 

Lyney: i never thought of it like that

Lyney: i dont see why not

 

Furina: those are all just silly myths

Furina: there is no hydro dragon causing it to rain for an entire week. that would be absurd

 

Keqing: i am inclined to agree with furina

Keqing: we are entering an unprecedented rainy season. unfortunate timing for my notebooks, but it is what it is

 

Yanfei: yeah hopefully it clears up soon

Neuvillette: By Wriothesley

 

Furina: WHAT?!?

Furina: do not fear, I will get to the bottom of this!

 

Neuvillette: Do not. He is not required to return my feelings.

Neuvillette: Furina. 

Neuvillette: No meddling in my affairs. I mean it.

 

Furina: okay okay

Furina: we can just watch bad reality tv and order soup from that one restaurant you like so much

Furina: and if we beg for it mom might cover it!!

Kaeya: wriothesley? reject neuvillette?

Kaeya: now that cant be right

 

Furina: THATS WHAT I WAS THINKING

Furina: regardless he will pay for making my dear neuvillette cry

 

Kaeya: he’s crying?

Furina: okay

Furina: kill him 🥺

 

Kaeya: i’ll take care of this

Kaeya: i dont think i’ll need to kill him tho

 

Furina: drat

Furina: maybe next time

Notes:

Cliffhanger be upon ye.
Why is it Pride month, and they're still in college, you ask? Dw about it. I was feeling whimsical once more. Time is an illusion anyway.
I played the whirling waltz quest, so I am more inclined to include the Natlan characters. Only for Ororon and Ifa tho. They're so silly.

Wriothesley: so neuvillette’s been avoiding me

Wriothesley: advice?

 

Kaeya: hmmm

Kaeya: what was your last interaction with him

 

Wriothesley: uhh it was a few days ago

Wriothesley: he kept on trying to give me things

Wriothesley: mostly tea. too much tea, even for me

Wriothesley: i told him i appreciated it but i don’t really have the need for that much tea. also i dont need him to give me things?

 

Kaeya: i see i see

Kaeya: hold on

Dms: Kaeya, Zhongli

 

Sun, 11:21 AM

 

Kaeya: so, what is the significance of gift giving for dragons

 

Zhongli: Oh, I get to explain this to you

Zhongli: You will regret this

Zhongli: In draconic culture, gift-giving is seen as one of the higher forms of intimacy. Dragons are not fond of parting with their possessions, after all.

Zhongli: Among the Sovereign dragons, gift giving is a significant part of the courting process. Since there are much fewer Sovereign dragons than any other dragon species, their rituals surrounding courtship are usually much more cherished and strictly followed. When picking out courting gifts, the gift giver will intentionally pick out gifts that align with the recipient’s interests and likes. Functionality is often prioritized for the gifts, as they are intended to be used and incorporated into the recipient’s everyday life. Favorite foods and drinks are common examples of such gifts.

Zhongli: This differs from other dragon species. Liyuen Dragons also partake in gift-giving, but they usually lean towards more lavish tastes. Precious stones and metals are highly valued. Other species, like the Vishaps for example, prefer shows of strengths and scent-marking over gifts entirely. 

Zhongli: Hypothetically speaking, of course.

 

Kaeya: of course

Kaeya: and if, hypothetically speaking, someone where to reject the gifts of a sovereign dragon?

 

Zhongli: Hypothetically speaking, their instincts will interpret it as a complete rejection.

 

Kaeya: got it

Kaeya: thank youuu

 

Zhongli: It was my pleasure.

Dms: Kaeya, Wriothesley

 

Sun, 11:53 AM

 

Kaeya: just take the damn tea next time

 

Wriothesley: okay okay

 

Kaeya: honestly tho?

Kaeya: go talk to him, say you didnt mean to reject the gifts, and ask him out

Kaeya: do it in person so he can see you are sincere

 

Wriothesley: he took it as a rejection?

Wriothesley: also who said anything about asking him out?

 

Kaeya: hey now

Kaeya: dont play these games with me

Kaeya: do as i say

Kaeya: now go

 

Wriothesley: im going im going

Mavuika: something about the tours

 

Ifa: HE’S A BIRD

Notes:

My brother got me sick y'all it's the end for me. You don't realize how much you take breathing for granted until your nose is more stuffed than a white American's turkey on Thanksgiving.

Anyways.

Headcanons galore for the yaksha siblings:

I feel like Bosacius would be a very goofy guy, while also feeling burdened by being the oldest of the five. He likes to play pranks and have fun but often feels like he has to be responsible for his younger siblings. That's why I think he and Venti would get along, as Venti is an older sibling in this chatfic too. They are both people born to be silly but forced to be the responsible older sibling. He is fantastic at baking and loves puzzles.
Bonanus and Menogias are twins. Bonanus is mischievous yet practical. If it isn't a required event she will ditch it and convince Indarius to join her. She is older by exactly six minutes and always says that those were the best six minutes of her entire life. Menogias is prideful, stubborn, generous, and artistic. He admires Zhongli and once thought he was attracted to Zhongli, but then he quickly realized that he really just wanted to dress him up and give him pretty outfits. He goes all out with the outfits, and it made him so unbelievably smug when he learned that Zhongli kept and treasured the outfits he made as if they were made of mora. He bragged about it for a week. Bonanus was sick of him by the end of it.
Indarius is bold, lively, and outgoing. The second-to-last child. She and Xiao are always at each other's throats. She calls him Xiao Xiao (little Xiao) to piss him off and it works every single time. He is naturally a very gentle person, but there is nothing like an annoying sibling to motivate you to violence. She loves spicy food and has an intense shellfish allergy. She is also a bit of a thrillseeker. She is the one dragging everyone with her to all of the terrifying rides in an amusement park.
Xiao is the youngest because I think it's funny.

I think it's funny giving random characters allergies. I'm gonna give one random character a peanut allergy next.

Nahida: we may be closer to finding your human body

 

Wanderer: dont bother. we can just stick to our original plan

 

Nahida: i would prefer it if we were able to recover your original body

Nahida: our current plan is risky. forcing your puppet body to become human may have adverse effects on your mind and soul

 

Wanderer: there is no guarantee that he even kept my body

Wanderer: and trying to recover it will just bring us attention back to us

Wanderer: you are getting blinded by your sentiments, Buer

 

Nahida: i want what is best for you. you are my family

Nahida: which means i would prefer if you remain healthy

Nahida: let me talk to cyno and lisa

Heizou: nuh uh

 

Kazuha: oh no you very much do

Kazuha: i don’t mind the spoilers but i understand why everyone is upset

 

Faruzan: “upset” is an understatement

Raiden: what happened to you was terrible and could have easily happened to me as well if dottore was not so completely obsessed with you

Raiden: i want to help

Raiden: and i want to be your sister again, but i understand that you do not want that, so i will settle for whatever you are willing to give me

 

Wanderer: once i get my body back we can revisit this

 

Raiden: you believe i will succeed?

 

Wanderer: since you are so convinced youre my sister, you might as well prove yourself

Wanderer: and i am associated with losers

 

Raiden: i will not lose

Deyha: good heist everyone!!

 

Raiden: i was wondering

Raiden: how…did his body manage to stay in such perfect condition

Raiden: hasnt it been a year?

 

Cyno: according to dottore’s notes you both have just enough yokai dna to make it possible

Cyno: i think kitsune to be exact

 

Deyha: so like is his body immortal or something??

 

Cyno: nothing is truly immortal. everything dies or erodes at some point

 

Deyha: okay smartass

 

Yelan: what else do the notes say

 

Cyno: yeahhh idk his handwriting is the shittiest ive EVER seen

Cyno: and i have met so many other scientists

Cyno: it is genuinely an eyesore

Cyno: [ fuckassnotes.jpg ] 

 

Raiden: oh

Yelan: well ig that explains why he kept the body

 

Wanderer: no fucking way

Cyno: if it helps deyha and i burned down his lab

Cyno: we also destroyed his clones

 

Deyha: it was so much fun

Deyha: very cathartic

 

Cyno: fr

 

Wanderer: it helps a little

Wanderer: next time save me a clone

Wanderer: but anyways dont you know what this implies

 

Nahida: …oh i see

 

Deyha: that you’re part kitsune?

 

Raiden: yes, but to be specific, we were created with some of yae miko’s dna

 

Cyno: ohh now i see why hat guy’s so pissed

 

Wanderer: i hate her so much

 

Raiden: i thought we were simply clones of mother and aunt makoto

Raiden: i do not like this new development

 

Wanderer: i am going to hit something

Wanderer: at least we look nothing like her

 

Nahida: the good news is we have your original body back!!

Nahida: this is going so well!!

 

Deyha: NO DONT SAY THAT
