[a. dream board: fae moon mirror]

[Venti usually isn't one for working hard. He's much better at hardly working. Yet, with the moon gone from the sky for as long as it has been Venti can't help but be curious about the happenings around it. What exactly happened to make the moon vanish and how were they simply going to build another one?

That is why Venti is up for hunting down the shattered shards of the moon mirror. They seem to have scattered all over the town and outside of it too so there are a fair amount of places to be checking. Venti stands with a finger to his chin as he ponders this.]

If the mirror indeed reflects light like the moon might we could find shards near bodies of water. Or we might find a flicker of them in the dark. Ehe! Shall we work together?

[b. the wild harvest]

[This little bard has visited many taverns in his long life. And visiting the ones in this place is no exception. Once he finds just the right moment Venti will sneak his way into the back of the Wild Harvest with quiet little feet. Sneaking and scooting his way in and sniffing the air for anything that is remotely sweet and wine-like.

Because he's going to steal some- of course! He has nothing to offer in return for the wine nor does he have any gold coins to give!

If he's caught? He'll do his best to act a fool...]

[c. outside in the trees]

[A nice breezy Spring day calls for a nice breezy day up in a tall tree. Venti can also be found outside enjoying the simple weather with his back up against the trunk of the tree and an old wooden lyre in his hands. His fingers gently pluck together a sweet sleepy tune as he hums a wordless song...

If he spots anyone curious nearby he'll smile and play for them or strike up a conversation. And anyone is welcome to join him up in this tree if they so wish! It's very comfy up here!]

Ya-hooo! Happy afternoon to you!

[d. wildcard]

[got something else? feel free to toss it down here! or catch me at michrure for some plotting!]

... In the dark? I guess that would make them easier to spot.

[ Sana nods slowly, thoughtfully. She at least appears to be a little more comfortable doing these sorts of things now-- or maybe just because it's Venti, who registers as Unusual but Okay. ]

If I'll do, then... I'd be happy to try to help.

[concierto]

[Unusual but Okay is very accurate. And on a little trip like this, he'll protect her as best he can as well. Just like shooting rabbits into the sky.]

It'll be a nice little adventure don't you think, Sana?

[He taps his chin.]

Putting the moon back together... It's odd that we have to do such a thing in the first place.

[But he's oh so curious.]

[inveilsible]

I think so too... it sounds like something out of a fairytale. I didn't even think piecing it together like this would be possible.

[ But it doesn't seem impossible now, just... odd. ]

Still, I don't think we'd be given a task that was impossible. A-at least, that's how I feel.

[concierto]

[Venti hums as he agrees with her. Walking along the path he tries to keep an eye on their surroundings and particularly the grass or the dirt where a shard might have fallen. Near a body of water would probably make the most sense seeing as the moon tends to reflect it. He wants to find a glimpse of moonlight on the ground somewhere.]

It does feel like we're living inside of a fairytale.

[All of this does seem like a bit of a story come alive.]

I wonder what would happen if we couldn't piece together the moon, though?

[inveilsible]

It... might always be not as bright at night as it could be. Um, but also at least where I'm from, the moon affects things like the ocean, so that could be a problem... it's responsible for the tides.

I think it might be a good idea to try and stop it from being gone entirely.

[concierto]

Ehe, you're probably right.

[Yeah, it's probably a bad idea to just let the moon continue to be broken. But Venti's weird curiosity is always there.]

Well then, if we don't have natural moonlight to reflect the shards we could try to make our own moonlight.

[inveilsible]

Our own?

...

[ Hm. ]

By finding something else bright?

[concierto]

Yes! We could try our hand at dreaming. Have you tried dreamotion before?

[Has she tried her version of dream magic yet? Venti isn't an expert by any means but it is a curious thing to do.]

Or we could try our own magic.

[Venti holds out his hand and lets a brightly shining orb of anemo form in swirls on his palm.]

[inveilsible]

Not... really. Not intentionally, I mean. But it might be easier than my own magic, since I don't think invisibility or weapons will help.

[ She is very fascinated by the anemo orb, though. ]

[concierto]

I see! Would you care to try?

[It's alright if she doesn't want to! Venti will let the anemo orb float in mid-air for a moment. But it's not as bright as the sun but it glows brightly all the same. It sits there swirling gently reflecting bits of light on the ground.]

[inveilsible]

Mm, I'll try, but...

... Do I just think of it?

[ She really needs to practice more, this girl. ]

[concierto]

[This might just turn into an impromptu lesson! Not that Venti is any master himself but he's always been an incredibly quick learner.]

I believe it starts with a thought or a memory! Something that reminds you of what you wish to create? Why don't we start with a memory or a feeling? Something that reminds you of the rays of the moon?

[inveilsible]

Would remembering the moon itself work, maybe?

[ She's frowning, concentrating to the best of her ability. It's got to be bright, she knows. ]

[concierto]

That might just work, my dear! Do you have a strong memory of the moon?

[Dream magic is such an interpretive thing. But he believes in her!]

[inveilsible]

Oh! Yes, when I jumped off the building, I noticed when I was falling that the moon was really bright then!

[ SANA. ]
