Dialogue[]
Midnight Meeting[]
Quest DescriptionYun Jin wandered into a perilous place while searching for inspiration, and would have been in trouble if not for your intervention. To thank you, she agrees to meet you after her performance...
- (Talk to Shiyun or Boi before meeting Yun Jin, optional)
- Shiyun: Ms. Yun's performance was amazing! Especially the silk dance. Did you see it...?
- Boyi: Uh, yeah, sure I did... but how do I work that into an article?
- (Talk to Clerk Zhao any time during the quest, optional)
- Clerk Zhao: Just wonderful... Oh, no! I'm late for my meeting!
- (Talk to Guan Hong any time during the quest, optional)
- Guan Hong: Hmm? What're you up to? Did you just arrive after the show was over?
- Guan Hong: Haha. Sorry, friend, but if you missed Yun Jin's show, you're gonna regret it for the rest of your life!
- (Talk to Changhu any time during the quest, optional)
- Changhu: How very strange. I don't usually feel anything when listening to Liu Su's stories. But once Yun Jin started singing, I was completely spellbound...
- Changhu: Wait... Master? Master! Where have you gone, Master?
- (Talk to Fan Er'ye any time during the quest, optional)
- Fan Er'ye: Voice of an angel, delicate as a murmuring stream...
- Fan Er'ye: The moment Yun Jin got on the stage, it took me right back... Oh, the resemblance was... *sigh*... What a captivating performance.
- (Wait for the performance to end before meeting up, 20:00–23:00 the next day)
- (Meet Yun Jin)
- Maksim: Liyue opera is really something... But Liyue opera performed by Ms. Yun — now that's something else!
- Maksim: Thrilling performance. I've never seen anything like it before in my life. Your reputation is well-deserved!
- Gentry Maocai: Haha. Well, I've had the pleasure of seeing the talented Ms. Yun on stage many a time in the past, but the songs still sound fresh and new every single time.
- Gentry Maocai: It's been barely a few days since I last saw you perform, but once again, Yun Jin, you've progressed by leaps and bounds.
- Yun Jin: You're far too kind, both of you.
- Yun Jin: I'm still new to the profession, but I promised myself when I joined the troupe that I would strive to develop myself as a performer every day.
- Yun Jin: And I wouldn't be where I am now without everyone's faithful support...
- Maksim: Nonsense! You're too humble, Ms. Yun. You're a major celebrity — who in Liyue hasn't heard the name Yun Jin?
- Gentry Maocai: Haha, in the circles I move in, anyone who says they've never seen Yun Jin on stage is at risk of getting laughed out of business! Hehehe...
- Yun Jin: ...Gosh...
- Gentry Maocai: As it happens, I have a business meeting at the Xinyue Kiosk with a client who is also a big fan of yours...
- Gentry Maocai: So, ahem... I was wondering if you'd perhaps like to join us for the meal?
- Maksim: Oh, uh... Me too! I've booked a table at the Liuli Pavilion and was hoping you might join me!
- Yun Jin: ...Oh, I'm terribly sorry to both of you, but I won't be able to make it.
- Yun Jin: I'm very grateful for the invitations, but I'm afraid I already have arrangements for this evening.
- Yun Jin: Right, (TravelerTraveler)?
Yep, here I am.- Sorry I'm a little late.
- Gentry Maocai: Uh... O—Okay, you have plans, but, uh... You're really gonna pass this up? I mean, you could always reschedule...?
- Gentry Maocai: Wait a second, you're—
Am I really so famous in Liyue?- Gentry Maocai: Tsk, well, I guess it's not going to work out today, then. Maybe another day, Ms. Yun!
- Maksim: (Huh... He took off pretty quick. Does he know something I don't?)[Note 1]
- Maksim: ...Haha, I guess I'll be leaving too. Wouldn't want to cramp your style!
- Yun Jin: Take care, both of you. Sorry that I can't see you off.
- Gentry Maocai and Maksim leave in a hurry...
- Yun Jin: Phew... Thanks for coming to my rescue, again.
- Yun Jin: Look at you, you're a national treasure. Even Gentry Maocai is in awe of you.
- Yun Jin: I feel a little sorry for Xinyue Kiosk and Liuli Pavilion... I just hope the food won't go to waste.
- Well, why don't we go to Xinyue Kiosk?
- Well, why don't we go to Liuli Pavilion?
- Yun Jin: I don't think we'd be able to get a seat this late.
- Yun Jin: But it's fine. I have a better place we can go.
- Yun Jin: Let's head downstairs. I owe you a big thank-you tonight.
Guests from The Steambird[]
- (Go to the bottom floor of Heyu Tea House)
- Shiyun: M—Ms. Yun? Oh, wow, it's really you! I—I have just a few questions, if you don't mind!
- Boyi: Hey, get back here! Ugh! Ditzy girl, you don't have a clue what you're doing...
- Yun Jin: Are you a journalist? If you'd like to arrange an interview, you'll have to liaise with my manager...
- Boyi: Sorry, Ms. Yun, don't mind her — she's just new and still learning the ropes. We'll leave you alone—
- Shiyun: Ms. Yun, I'm interested to know why you added a silk dance to the scene where the divine damsel makes her appearance?
- Yun Jin: ...Hmm?
- Yun Jin: ...Y—You noticed that?
- Shiyun: Yes. Based on the original script, that scene would see your character perform the adeptus walk... but the addition of the silk dance meant that the whole way you carried yourself was so much more... so much more...
- Yun Jin: ...Animated?
- Shiyun: Yes, yes! But delicate and graceful, like a crane!
- Yun Jin: Oh? Sorry, which publication are you from? How come I haven't met you before?
- Shiyun: Oh, uh, I... well...
- Boyi: Ahaha, we're from The Steambird. I'm Boyi, the editor-in-chief, and this young lady is Shiyun, one of my journalists.
- Boyi: We were based in Fontaine, just recently, we made the move back to Liyue.
- Yun Jin: Oh, I see! You're from The Steambird.
- Yun Jin: Then it's no wonder. Your journalist has clearly done her research.
- Shiyun: Th—That's very kind of you, but really, my level of knowledge is very basic compared to yours...
- Boyi: Hey! Ms. Yun's throwing you a bone here — make the most of it, okay? Talk to her, talk to her!
- Yun Jin: Actually, I'm afraid there's somewhere I need to be, and I'd really need to clear this interview with my manager...
- Make the most of it. You may as well talk to them.
- (Proceed to Branch 1)
- Let's play it safe and book the interview in with your manager.
- (Proceed to Branch 2)
Branch 1[]
- Make the most of it. You may as well talk to them.
- Yun Jin: But what about our plans...
- Let's take a rain check on that.
- I'm interested to hear your story, too.
- Yun Jin: Really? Okay, sure...
- Shiyun: Oh, thank you! Thank you so much, Ms. Yun!
- Boyi: Great! Thank you both kindly. Let's find a quiet place and get this interview underway!
- Yun Jin and Shiyun get along quite well...
- Shiyun: ...I see, so that's why you added the silk dance in this scene.
- Yun Jin: Yes, exactly. Doing it this way not only allows for more physicality in my movement, it also means I can make better use of the stage and transition into the scene more quickly.
- Shiyun: Ah, okay, so there was even more to it than I thought... So wouldn't it make sense to contrast this with the Dongtang, appassionato section that comes directly afterward by making the latter a little more sophisticated...?
- Yun Jin: Hmm? I think I know which section you're talking about.
- Shiyun: Ah, sorry, sorry! What am I saying, this is a fixed formula isn't it? My suggestion would completely break the format...
- Yun Jin: No, it's okay. It's an interesting idea, for sure.
- Yun Jin: I'll give it some thought. Thanks for the suggestion!
- Shiyun: R—Really? Wow, I'm so honored!
- Boyi: Humph...
- This conversation is way beyond me...
- Boyi: Ahem! Uh, Shiyun, maybe it's time to move onto some of the things our readers would like to know about, hmm?
- Shiyun: Oh... Okay, um, I was also going to ask for your opinion on the set and the costumes...
- Boyi: Ahem! Ahem! Yes, well... I'm sure Ms. Yun has countless pearls of wisdom she could share on her chosen craft, hehehe...
- Boyi: But, uh, not all of our readers are quite so, ahem, artistically literate, shall we say...
- Boyi: Hehe, a lot of them really just want to know more about you. You know, what does Yun Jin do when she's offstage, hmm?
- Yun Jin: ...Excuse me? When I'm offstage?
- Boyi: Yeah, you know... You're a major celebrity, and a lot of our readers are interested to know what life is like for you — what kind of place you live in, what kind of things you eat, clothes you wear, things you buy, that whole side of things. A day in the life.
- Yun Jin: ...Um, besides rehearsing, a day in my life isn't really any more interesting than anyone else's.
- Boyi: Nonsense, of course it is! Just think how many people were at your show earlier — they come from all over just to show their support.
- Boyi: In fact, a relative of mine has a daughter who's been saying she wants to broaden her horizons recently. She's been looking for a chance to give you a jade hairpin as a gift!
- Yun Jin: ...Heh.
- Yun Jin: It's against the rules of the opera troupe to accept private gifts from patrons.
- Yun Jin: Hmm... Could someone out there be accepting gifts for the troupe under false pretenses? I must get Yunning to look into it...
- Boyi: Uh... I mean, it wasn't a big deal, just something she said. Forget I brought it up.
- Boyi: So, I saw Gentry Maocai and a Snezhnayan gentleman come down from upstairs. Are they patrons of your shows, too?
- Boyi: What are your thoughts on Snezhnaya and the Fatui...?
- Yun Jin: ...
- Shiyun: Aaaah! I'm sorry, this is my first interview, and my notes are becoming a total mess!
- Shiyun: I might need a moment to pause and reorganize them a little, otherwise I'll never be able to work all this into an article... Mr. Boyi, maybe you should take a look, too!
- Boyi: Don't be ridiculous! Stopping an interview halfway through to organize your notes, what are you talking about? Hey, hey, alright, alright... Ms. Yun, we'll just be a moment!
- The journalist leaves with the Editor-in-Chief...
- Yun Jin: *sigh*...
- You look tired.
- Are you sure you want to continue?
- Yun Jin: I'm fine... It's not the first time I've been asked questions like these. The last time it happened, Yunning stopped the interview for me...
- Yun Jin: But the next day, the tabloids were full of articles like "Dramatic Exit: Yun Jin Storms Out of Interview" and "Miss La-Dee-Da Opera Star Is Too Good For Our Questions"...
- Yun Jin: ...Yeah, so from then on, Yunning said all interview requests have to go through her.
- Yun Jin: I used to think I could hold the troupe together just by putting on a good performance. But now, I have to make sure I concentrate on my actions offstage, too. *sigh*...
- I saw a lot of the audience on the way over here...
- Many of them found your performance very moving.
- Yun Jin: Oh... You mean Fan Er'ye and that crowd? I cherish them as members of my audience, too.
- Yun Jin: But there aren't many people like them, who can appreciate all the nuance in a single viewing.
- Yun Jin: How did Shiyun end up working with an editor like that guy? Something feels wrong there.
- Yun Jin: (TravelerTraveler), they could be back at any moment. I should stay here for now — but could you go look into it for me?
- No problem.
- Yun Jin: If you find out anything, come straight back here and let me know.
- (Talk to Yun Jin again)
- Yun Jin: They must have left the tea house by now. Let me know if you find anything out.
- (Proceed to Backstage Suspicions)
Branch 2[]
- Let's play it safe and book the interview in with your manager.
- Yun Jin: Yes... you're right.
- Yun Jin: I'm very sorry, but I'm afraid the troupe is pretty strict about the rules for this kind of thing, so we'll have to do this by the book. Please liaise with my manager and we can do this interview another day.
- Yun Jin: The Steambird is a highly reputable publication, so I'm sure my manager won't give you a hard time. Once the interview is arranged, I'll be very happy to answer any and all questions you have.
- Boyi: But... *sigh* Fair enough. Sorry if we were being intrusive, please forgive us. We'll leave you in peace... Hey, c'mon! Quit dawdling!
- Shiyun: Yes... I'm coming! Bye, Ms. Yun...
- Yun Jin: Hey, wait... that's the wrong way if you wanted to talk to my manager...
- They're gone...
- Yun Jin: Oh well... Never mind.
- Yun Jin: I have a friend who works for a paper. I'll ask them later.
- Yun Jin: For now, though, the top priority is making good on our plans.
- Yun Jin: Now I think about it... I've turned down three social engagements tonight.
- Yun Jin: Come with me. Our plan is the only one remaining, so let's make the most of it.
- (Proceed to Half a Day's Leisure)
