Ahh, console video games (or vidcons as I call them). the ultimate medium of expression, able to convey any emotion ranging from hatred to love, loyalty to fear, all in front of our eyes. Ah, and with lovingly crafted art, music, and the ability to control the action, vidcons are the ultimate combination of the high arts. While I tend to play the stoic, I will be the first to admit that vidcons haven driven me to cry, to scream and shout, to feel actual hate; such is the power of this force beyond our wildest reckoning. And here I am, before you, to temp your tongues with the taint of such a tantalizing topic.
And the Japanese, the true geniuses behind the world of video games. Pah, I throw my scorn upon such incompetents of the West who would mock the true art of the Japanese with 'games' such as Baldur's Gate and Madden. Perhaps it is that the West is not as intelligent as the East, but this is a matter for another day. Japan has given us such masterpieces as the Final Fantasy series, Star Ocean, Wild Arms, and of course, Arc the Lad. Yes, some of the finest vidcons in the world were created by Japanese. I come to you today to ask you in all earnesty, what is your favorite vidcon? I will reveal mine after the grand debate has illustriously begun, but not before the first poster falls victim to my plot of discussion.
In other words, this is a thread on an imaginary forum our avatars frequent. The topic can fluctuate, and its mostly just general discussion.

That's what's great about the internet! Especially one that can even connect with other worlds!
Anyway, hi everyone! I'm Sanae Kochiya, the Moriya Shrine maiden! When I heard Flandre actually managed to connect with other people I immediately got to getting my old laptop working! It didn't work at first but miracles are my specialty! It's nice being able to use my old outside world stuff again.

I can agree with you Sanae. I still remember thinking the gods were just a fairy tale a few months ago, and now I’ve run into pretty much everything! Name’s Midnight, in case you were wondering.
I take it that you're from Inazuma?

Well hello there, froggy girl ! I'm black cat (i don't really have a name and my former owner was so conservative that he didn't even gave me a name !)

Inazuma...? No I'm from Japan, specifically the Nagano Prefecture. Oh and inazuma means lightning but I'm associated with the wind, Lady Kanako is associated with rain though and I serve under her!
Ah what a cute kitty!

So yeah, you need THREE cups of sugar, not two. And remember you'll need to get those limes as well.
Praise the Lamb!
"Japan"... Doesn't ring a bell, sadly. All I know is that shrine maidens originate from Inazuma and serve the Electro Archon, the Raiden Shogun, through the Grand Narukami Shrine. How odd that a there's a shrine maiden who doesn't serve her Archon, but I suppose this is a good thing for us after the "mishap" that took Signora's life.

So the nations of your world are based on different elements? Interesting!
Actually, ours is based on an element too if you think about it!
Actually Shade, you’re right!
Yeah, I hope she can guess Nox’s element!
SKREEEEEEEONK!
Thats fishy
Well, i don't really have a fixed location, i'm just wandering since my former owner died.

You are correct. In Teyvat, each nation is the domain of the Seven Archons who wield a specific element. I already mentioned earlier that Snezhnaya is the domain of our majesty, the Tsaritsa, who wields the power of Cryo, but I suppose it wouldn't hurt to give you a bit of a geography lesson for those within this Domain who are not familiar with Teyvat.
Mondstadt is the nation of Anemo, ruled by Barbatos. Liyue is the nation of Geo, ruled by... or once ruled by, Rex Lapis. Inazuma is the nation of Electro, ruled by the Raiden Shogun. Sumeru is the nation of Dendro, ruled by Kusanali. Fontaine is the nation of Hydro, ruled by the God of Justice whose name we... haven't figured out yet (she's a sly one). And lastly, Natlan is the nation of Pyro, ruled by Murata. I hope you're following along.
OP's Note: Anemo is wind and Dendro is grass (think the Grass Type from Pokemon).
Thats fishy
I try to find my food myself (without success usually).

Wait, there's a cooking server ? If so, ask them how to make mice stew.

I think so. That's where I came from at least. I guess I got moved here somehow.

1 Raiden Shogun? Do you mean Raiden-sama? I don't serve the Thunder God but know of them. I also haven't heard of any Grand Narukami Shrine. As I mentioned before, I work in the Moriya Shrine! Its gods are Lady Kanako and Lady Suwako, and me too technically since I'm a human but can still gather faith!
2 Ooh I haven't heard of those gods before. Barbatos reminds me of my own wind aspect and Lady Suwako also has aspects of the earth with being a mountain god like this Rex Lapis.
I'll pray for your good fortune little kitty!
Thats fishy
Thank you !

You certainly are unique. I haven't heard of a shrine maiden who serves Anemo and Geo instead of Electro, and your gods "Kanako" and "Suwako" are ones I haven't heard of. Though you do seem to be familiar with the Raiden Shogun to an extent so, best I leave it at that.
There are other gods in Teyvat, but most perished in the Archon War thousands of years ago. The only other gods besides the Archons left are the ones who live in Celestia and uphold the Heavenly Principles. They will soon experience the Tsaritsa's retribution in due time.
But, if you want to know more about our lovely Cryo god, her majesty, the Tsaritsa, then feel free to ask. I'll be happy to explain all there is to know about her, but do know that certain details related to the Fatui are confidential so I can't divulge those.
Thats fishy
You seem to really love this Tsaritsa, is it a kind of deity ?
Yes. She is the Cryo Archon that we in Snezhnaya worship. Her everlasting winter grants us protection from the Heavenly Principles.
Thats fishy
She seem nice (no ?).
She is a kind and gentle soul at heart, once you get to know her. The Tsaritsa just desires peace, and so her benevolence is what offers us protection. It's just she had to harden herself up in order to stand up against Celestia.
Thats fishy
Oh, that's good, do you pray to her in temples or something like that ?

My my, if isn't the three bird Adepti again. I never knew you three would be the types to bicker with each other. Weren't you supposed to work together to protect Liyue according to legends?
