Nicole: Clamor Within
The Silent "Mage," the Voiceless "Angel"
#GenshinImpact #Nicole
Many of the stories Nicole envisions begin with a phrase as old as stories themselves: "Long, long ago..."
Perhaps, for some authors, "long ago" is less the threshold of a tale than a refuge from all further questioning. For once a story is consigned to unreachable distance, all the people and events bound up within it may as well have faded into obscurity, leaving no path by which the present might truly follow them back.
And yet, in Nicole's thoughts, those stories of "long ago" endure still.
Long ago, the lights of many nations filigreed the earth in gleaming gold. Long ago, the daughters of heaven wandered in carefree grace betwixt divine courts and mortal cities. Long ago, the sovereign of ages past, who had descended into deepest darkness, had not yet brought disaster back to his homeland. Long ago, the three radiant moons that hung aloft in the night heavens were still three...
The years brook no pause, the wheel spinning onward all the same. Within a cycle emptied of hope, the spark of paradise perished alongside the lives annihilated. Servitors once loyal to their ruler turned traitor for the sake of the lives that had been fashioned. The black dragonlord returned from beyond the stars. The moonlit chariot of the heavens shattered like crystal...
The story had not reached its end. Rather, it was those who had once read it, and those who had once listened to its telling, who had long since taken their leave. The angel who once longed to write laughter into the world lost all that had once made laughter possible. In the end, she even lost the voice with which she laughed, and could speak no more.
Thus, it seemed that the story Nicole kept within her would never properly find its beginning. She could only go on cradling her many "long agos," roaming the world and watching as all things passed, changed, and were remade by time.
That remained so until the day she met a tiny mage in an enormous hat, its extravagant brim tipped up with such pride it seemed almost ready to brush the sky. Compared with the hat she wears now, however, it was still a fair few sizes smaller.
The little witch tucked herself down at Nicole's side and listened intently as one story after another unfolded, not stirring until she had finished her drink and emptied her bag of biscuits.
"So you really are an angel? And all those stories were real, too?"
"Then yay, that works! I'm a mage, and you're an angel, so we match perfectly."
The merry little mage stretched out a hand to the angel who had come so far, all the way from those distant "long agos," and warmly invited her along.
"Want to join my Hexenzirkel? I only just came up with the name, but it has a real ring to it, don't you think?"
"It's going to be the funnest, awesomest, best club in all of Teyvat — I promise!"
"..."
No answer came from the angel. None could. But the little mage did not wait for one. She caught the angel's hand in both of her own and slipped the last piece of candy into her palm.
"There. Now our mages' pact is made."
Nicole had no thought of joining then, nor could she have guessed what this little gathering called the "Hexenzirkel" would one day grow into.
But at the very least...
It did sound like a place with happiness enough to spare.

@AnCatalyst @RexIsRexing @dandelionight Likewise and looking forward to your crying in snezhnaya once they again bring new reactions and gimmicks and youll be all over twitter whining like a baby😂
English

@blackpoint1991 @RexIsRexing @dandelionight Uh huh sure, stay delulu my friend. The nodkrai stuff will be over in Snezhnaya anyways thankfully
English

@AnCatalyst @RexIsRexing @dandelionight Wow such a mature response, u truly showing your colors. And even if u meant chess boss the answer is same u can clear them without the gimmick once u have enough DPS with nodkrai units but heck what I do know since I haven't used skirk team there in months...
English

@Furilyz @MangaMoguraRE CR is already pricey as it and we have seen they dont rly protect their users very good so even less trustworthy, not to mention all the region blocks etc etc....
English

@MangaMoguraRE Maybe monetize it more
Anime is big but they don't make a lot of money from it it seems
English

The japanese government revealed plans to roughly triple the overseas anime market to a staggering 6 trillion yen by 2033 with the help of more "blockbuster" anime productions among other strategies.

@Raya33276481 @MangaMoguraRE I mean they must go after the money the anime wont make itself for free so cant blame em, which means more censorship and whatever CR does with their localization but oh well can only hope for the best :|
English

@MangaMoguraRE Big no. It's against Hideaki Anno's philosophy
English

@Plumper_Dont @AnCatalyst @RexIsRexing @dandelionight Exactly, you dont need top 1% or w/e but as long as u know how to build each character and their teams you can clear abyss as it isnt the hardest endgame anymore
English

@blackpoint1991 @AnCatalyst @RexIsRexing @dandelionight Well yeah, enough investment lets you do whatever.
English

@Dethyy_ @RexIsRexing @dandelionight Well for me be it natlan dragon or mond chess boss I was beating it with bina and then using either ineffa or nefer no cons ofc and later on once I c6ed my bina then yeh it was super easy.
English

@blackpoint1991 @RexIsRexing @dandelionight I mean if you played nodkrai units I still don't know if you could kill it in time especially in comp that's assuming someone takes Columbina, and even then it'd probably be too little application with it moving around/the other units
English

@AnCatalyst @RexIsRexing @dandelionight No you don't and if you did a quick check around you would know that... Abyss is far from what it used to be and also 1st half is also forcing u to use pyro or electro or use anemo and I am brute forcing it with Bina/Zibai team so...
English

@blackpoint1991 @RexIsRexing @dandelionight No, the second phase needs cryo and hydro or yours cooked. People like you make this game so goddamn annoying
English

@pupakoertys @RexIsRexing @dandelionight Lol delusion if it's a fact and not like it's anything new it was same for Natlan or Fontaine if u had their best teams u had 0 issues with anything. Unless your one of those that pulls DPS w/o their support and wonder why they do no dmg then that's on you lol.
English

@blackpoint1991 @RexIsRexing @dandelionight ⬆️ an average delusional thought from nodkrai enjoyers who think their mid nefers and flinses will perform greatly without their wheelchairs
English

@RexIsRexing @dandelionight i mean with these new nodkrai unit they just delete the weekly bosses and can ignore all the gimmicks lol
English

@dandelionight average chess weekly boss : every element except cryo
English

@trilunardeity Tbh no clue i got Shenhe and Nilou for their good quality of life but now not sure rly... since most of the DPS units already got better versions atm and their cons are pretty meh aside of hutao which i already got c1
English

@LunaScarlet39 @harmonyleaf I would assume the studio is already pretty much packed, remember they even had cut down on the girls 3D stuff with either picking birthday live or anniversary live. Which also explains the cutoff of stars since lots of costs for not much profit rly...
English

@harmonyleaf can they still like "rent" the company's studio? iirc vtubers or anyone outside the company can use the studio as long as they pay too? cmiiw though
English

@Rixi0303 It was worth the wait all these years😭And seeing them improving the animation and using the chibi artstyle etc was rly neat, just rly shows that ppl in charge saw the support for this series and decided to up their game, hope it just stays like this till the end 🙏
English


@KHolosimp The only way i can see them salvage this is to get some investor that wanna focus on the holostars. As in the end its all about profits and they rather use thoose resources on the girls who bring in much bigger crowds, dont to need to be a genius to figure that out...
English

In summary, Cover will limit their projects for Stars but they still provide managerial support, meaning Stars members can still have managers and they can still make projects for fans, but those projects will be idealized and funded themselves instead of Cover taking initiative
