[Liyue harbor a city of trade and deals.]
For next scene, imagine that we are in a big indoor theater, siting on chairs in viewing platform for spectators, looking at the stage in front of us, hidden behind heavy red curtains. The play is about to begin as the gong signal echoed through hall, followed by movement in curtain. They partake or and pulling up, revealing the scene on stage. The background made from cardboard panels show a street form Liyue Harbor. Our traveler quartet enter the stage by jump down from the sky, touch-downing in a line, making a heroic pose, successfully frightening a local guard (side character).
As the travelers posing, a white ghost (medium tall person covered by white blanket and with holes for eyes playing as ghost) approached them from behind. Ghost dances steps moving behind the line of travelers as if on back ground. Its seems that the Archons don't see the ghost, but they sensing something in air, as they look around, but not back. Then this ghost trow away the blanket revealing itself. This ash brown girl was a Hu Tao. [Playful and eccentric Director of Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, "Fragrance in Thaw", as Pyro Polearm user.] She jump on Furina making a hug, who jitter like a cat, jump up her entire height into air, making that "Me~eo~ow!" shout. But that only entertain Hu who make a big grin and she start to pry/scout for what this colorful bunch are vising.
Venti take advantage of it and as he raise his finger a bubble with picture of Zhongli appears above him. She understand and run away to fetch it.
That make a space for a pretty oyster pear colored tall yellow woman Ningguang. [A super rich mogul who will not hesitate to take a challenge, "Eclipsing Star", as Geo Catalyst user.] Like a boss, she arrived on a giant gold Mora coin [Teyvat currency] taller that her, as if she was athletic circus performer who balancing on top of ball or roll and make tricks to entertain they audience. As she jump down from coin onto stage, a lot of Mora coins fall out from her like when you shake a piggy bank, a saving money bag. She don't mind about the spare change rolling away from her as she make a confident entrance pose. Like a perfect pear as a crown on piece of jewelry.
Mavuika got excited seeing that woman radiating all kind of power and she proudly puff her chest. She make an introduction and a position pins show above the heads of four travelers fast introducing them as Archons. Ningguang had this (Oh that's interesting) expression. Pyro woman was excited from the Geo position pin trying to settle above Geo Woman. But enthusiasm of hot one was gone, when the rich one just grab the pin and put it down from her head, holding it in her hand as if it was a book.
Then, Hu Tao returns dragging a tall earth brown man Zhongli [A chilled out consultant of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, "Vago Mundo", as Geo Polearm user.]. Even if those two are from the same organization, it looked more like a daughter brought her father into a dating party. The groups exchanged glances and there was this reaction of realization one will have in secret society while dealing with world level secrets. Hu Tao got this rascal grin when she noticed a direct reaction between brown man and red woman as if the so-called spark of passions and tension, jumped between them. With (Hi, hi, hi, this will be fun.) gesture, she push/pull Zhongli toward that group.
.
Pearl woman snaps her fingers and servants bring a wide table filled with a pile of food, placing it in front of her. Then as she put that Geo pin on the table, she ask the quartet plus one to join her in a dinner.
As they were doing it, Hu Tao boldly placed on table a bunch of funeral contract, ready to let all of the table resident to sign it. But, Ningguang quite fast realize whats going on, so she put and angry face mask on her head, roll the contract papers into a sturdy roll baton stick. As she stand up she roar so loud that it knocked a few of the Archon. They drop on stage like a poked out figure from some board game. They fall over and stay like that. Yet this pear angry mask woman went to chase trickster girl Hu Tao out of the stage, swinging that baton in (I am going to spank you!) gesture.
The only one who stay at the table was Mavuika and Zhongli, so that red woman make a question asking who is the real Geo Archon. She even lean closer to him in a conspirators way, even playing with that Geo pin on table with her finger as if it was a ball shaped toy. But the man was reluctant to admit that he know answer to that question.
But a tall teal woman Xianyun [Eccentric inventor and tsundere adeptus know as Cloud Retainer (stork), "Passerine Herald", as Anemo Catalyst user., has been walking down the street. She saw those two at table, and as the red hot woman was leaning toward the brown man in kinda flirting way, like if they are on a romantic dinner together, something snapped inside Xianyun. So she produce this frighten chicken-hen scream: *"P-ka~a!"* Fuming like a broody hen/chicken, she run toward the table with duo and start jealously staring at the red rival. In curiosity, the man in question act like its not his business and in old man relaxing time he sipped a tea from his cup.
Mavuika was taken aback, recognizing that another misunderstanding has occurred. She tried to rise her empty hands in (I am not fighting) gesture, but the fuming Xianyun was not buying it. Then a red woman stomach roar/growled hungrily demanding a food. Surprisingly the teal one reflexively step back from the table into a safe distance. So Pyro Archon used this opportunity to began to eat. (Huh, they brought a real food onto a play.)
.
No, this glutton, was devouring a pile of Liyue food and delicacies on an incredible speed. *Chomp, chomp, chomp.* or *Munch, munch, munch.*
It was such a show that even ice silver goat girl Ganyu come to take look. [General secretary at Yuehai Pavilion and (adeptus?), polite, but a pro-level workaholic. If she take a week off from work, city office is collapsing under work pressure. "Plenilune Gaze", as Cryo bow user.] She step closer to Mavuika and observed her eat. When the woman noticed her and take pause in her dinning to ask (What?); The girl self invited herself to check with her palm Mauvika's nice looking tummy. There was not sing of fatness. Pyro Archon realize the question in that girl head and make an explanation.
A duo stage staffs approached from one side of the stage end and brought a cardboard picture of oven with cardboard picture of Pyro Archon above it. They had this cardboard with pile of random food. As they press it into the furnace, (feeding the woman standing on furnace), a cardboard picture of furious flame rise behind the red cardboard woman. It was a display of very hungry combustion engine.
From other side of the stage end a duo of stage staff bring a cardboard panel card picture of a slim goat with short wool coat. Then one of them pick up a card board panel with a single salad bowl as pure plant like option for a food. Then this staff flip this cardboard to other side, to show for now two bowls of salad. Then the one who hold the goat cardboard flip it around, to show that same goat with a fatty fluffy wool coat. It was a quite reference of getting fat if you eat too much.
After the presentation done, Mavuika return to finish her meal, and stage staff withdraw from the stage taking the cardboard presentation with them.
Ganyu, with defeated expression was near to tears, and with a goat like cry, she decided to run away from the table, scene and stage. But it sounded more like *"Me-e,e,e,e,e…"*
Because this girl was Xianyun student, the woman make another frighten chicken hen scream and like a chicken she run after the goat girl, to calm down that sobbing child.
.
Pear like Ningguang was back on stage. Without that angry mask she walking with confidence, dragging behind herself a Hu Tao. The ash girl was completely tied up in so long rope, that from such many circles, Hu look like she wearing a worm costume. Pearl woman observed the situation and make a whistle call.
A semi large picture of ship from cardboard roll onto the stage. It was clear that the ship crew standing in a line was holding that cardboard by one hand, to give it onboard image, while doing gesture with the other one. A ship captain Beidou was standing in front. [A pirate like fearless captain of The Crux ship, "Uncrowned Lord of the Ocean", as Electro Claymore user.] And she shout this sailor greeting. "A-hoii!"
Then Pearl woman rise a contract parchment, showing it to everybody, ready to make a deal with the travelers. Following the example enthusiastic Hu Tao, still tied in rope, from somewhere pull out her own contract for her parlor services, holding it in her mount. She was making (Take this with you!) gestures. Yet Ningguang was not paying attention to the girl as she loudly flick her fingers, all of the Archon stand up, walk behind the cardboard ship, like boarding it. Then a ship captain bell ring and the ship embark on its journey leaving the stage.
.
With a gong zing a stage curtains closed and audience in the theater start to clap. Then the curtains opened once more, revealing all actors of play who were standing in line. (Hu Tao was still in ropes.) The Clap from audience erupted into a cheering. Actor make a respectful bow to audience for attending they show. Then the stage curtain close permanently.

Insert here a cut-scene of naval voyage on Crux ship across the map the map of Teyvat from Liyue toward Inazuma islands. At first, the voyage is cozy and some of the travelers are enjoining the breeze in they hairs, like Furina. Then Mavuika and Venti got a cunning idea, of combining they powers to speed up the ship.
In next moment the Crux was jet speed dashing through sea with incredible speed to the amount that people must hold onto things to not get knocked out by the blowing wind. Nahida and Zhongli, acting like nothing wort of panic is happening, bond themselves and furniture to ship, using tricks hidden behind they elemental skills. Furina was hugging a ship most in middle of Crux deck, lamenting something about drowning. She forgetting a detail, that she the one who can walk on water. Venti and Mavuika, having a blast of fun, as they were throwing they elements toward the ship sails, making it to keep the high speed. Until Beidou, swinging her Claymore at them, politely asked them to stop the nuisance.
