The Sky is a Hoax! ...Who Cares!?

"You were the one who made that thing fall from the sky!?" Jean exclaimed in shock and a bit of anger, "Yes, sorry, I didn't mean to cause a pandemonium." Sibley apologized while bowing slightly, "Honestly I'm more surprised someone without a vision can manage to do something like that." A woman dressed in purple said standing next to Jean's booksheld.

Age: 29.

Occupation: Resident Librarian.

Element: Electro.

Sibley turned to look at the woman and shrugged, "Honestly I'm still not sure what a vision is." Sibley admitted while looking to the side, "That's fair actually, visions are considered blessings from the Archons so no one really questions them too much." Lisa explained in reassurance, "Speaking of unknown things, there is an astrologist that went to see that rock you pulled down from the sky, and from what you told me, you did it because there was an Abyss Order settlement, could you please go back her up in case there's still members lurking around?" Jean requested, "I guess it's the least I could do after causing an uproar like this." Sibley subtly agreed as she got up and headed to the exit, but stopped a moment, "By the way, i wanted to tell you this earlier." She points at Lisa, "You're included too now... You're both very sexy." Sibley told them before going out of the office leaving two flabbergasted and flustered women behind.

At the Impact Site.

It took a bit to fill the other two in the situation, but luckily they agreed to go with, "It's very nice of you to own up to your messes." Aether told Sibley, "Exactly, it's my mess, you would be surprised at how rare of a quality that is in my world." She informed the boy, "Sometimes your world sound worse than the Abyss." Paimon commented concerned, "It is, forgot what I told you about the Pig War?" Sibley reminded, "I still can't believe it honestly." Aether responded shaking his head, "Say you wouldn't happen to know this astrologist, would you?" Sibley asked curious, "It's probably Mona... Look, just promise me you won't say anything weird." Aether basically begged, "Weird how?" Sibley asked for clarification, "I heard how you were flirting with the girl that ambushed me and Venti, and I heard what you said to Lisa and Jean, so please, shut up." Aether said putting his hands on Sibley's shoulder.

Now near the meteorite, they looked around for wherever Mona could possibly be, "I'm pretty sure there should be only one other person here, correct?" Sibley asked not seeing anyone in the area, "Hey Aether! Paimon! What are you doing here?" They heard a voice coming from another side of the meteor, going around they saw a girl dressed in skin thight purple clothes and a large witch hat.

Age: 19.

Occupation: Astrologist.

Element: Hydro.

"Jean asked us to check on you." Aether told Mona, "Why would I need to be checked on? And Who's this?" Mona asked confused, "I'm Sibley, and check on you since this used to be an Abyss Order outpost or however Jean called it." Sibley explained trying to bite her tongue from commenting on Mona's looks, "It did? How did she come to find that out?" Mona questioned in surprise, "She dropped this here cause it was." Aether revealed, "You can pull things down from the sky!?" Mona exclaimed in awe, "I'm not sure how it works, but yeah, I can." Sibley confirmed.

Mona looked like she wa about to explode, but kept her composure, "Do you think you could send someone up there?" She asked with a little giddiness in her voice, "What? I mean... Maybe? It would take some planning and enough firepower, but possibly." Sibley replied, not negating the possibility since the Freedom Matrix could possibly allow that, "So you plan to send her to nowhere?" They heard from somewhere, "I thought you were alone here?" Aether asked Mona who looked just as confused, "I was." She confirmed, "I can assure you that trying to 'reach the sky' would be a useless attempt." The voice spoke again and this time it was more clear, coming from the top of the meteor.

Name: Scaramouche.

Age: ???

Occupation: 6th of the Eleven Fatui Harbringers.

Element: Anemo.

The four looked up at the Fatui Harbringer with frowns on their faces, "Arh!! Paimon's had enough of the Fatui to last a life time!" She lamented, "This has nothing to do with you!" Scaramouche barked at her wanting her to be quiet, before noticing Sibley's scanning crosshair floating in front of him, "Alright, member of the Fatui, we gathered that much... Name Scaramac- Scramo- Scamaga- However you say it." Sibley read, giving up on saying his name, "I don't have time for this." Said Harbringer thought before striking the crosshair with a wind slash.

"Hey! I was reading!" Sibley lament, clearly not happy about that, "That's besides the point!" Scaramouche retorted before going back to what he was talking about, "I don't know how you managed to make this fall from the sky, nor what it is, but I wont fall for whatever trickery you're trying to pull!" He stated with resolve clear in his voice, confusing the four he was standing against, "What's that supposed to mean!?" Mona questioned wanting to cut this short, "I'm talking about you're chasing the massive hoax that is the sky!" Scaramouche esclaimed causing Aether, Paimon and Mona to be struck with shock, "That's right! Everything you see far above where the clouds reach, it's all fake! Even the stars you follow! Placed there only to keep you occupied with useless stuff!" He continued his explanation that continued to weight on three mentioned before like a boulder.

Except for Sibley, she was just standing there looking at him bored as high hell, and Scaramouche quickly took noticed of this, "...I was certain you were going to refute these claims or something?" He brought up looking confused at the apparent indifference, "That would be because... You know... It's the sky!" She exclaimed motioning upwards to said sky, Scaramouche still not really getting what she meant, "I'm trying to say... Who cares!?" She broke down so Scaramouche could understand, "Who cares!?" Scaramouche repeated in surprise, the others also looking shocked at Sibley's demeanor, "You know, the sky is up there... I'm down here... If you live up there that's your problem." She explained further trying to get them to see her point.

This didn't exactly sit in any way with Scaramouche, he wasn't expecting anyone to just be this complacent about it, "How are you so calm when everything you thought you knew could just turn out to be fake!?" He demanded his face turning red in aggravation, "Well you know, I died in my world, met the God of Gods, got assigned as Multiversal Law Enforcement, still figuring out what that implies, and got sent here, if you think something like 'everything is fake' will surprise me you'll get a-" Sibley was talking when she noticed something weird happening and her eyes widened, "Floating hat, you got a floating hat..." She pointed to Scaramouche's head where his hat was floating off his head.

If it wasn't that he was still mad about Sibley's attitude, he probably would have just brushed it off as nonsense, but since he was, he did look up, and saw that his hat is indeed floating, "What the fuck!?" He exclaimed in surprise, meanwhile, Sibley's Matrix started beeping, "Again?" She muttered as she brought it up to her face and tapped the screen and it said "There's a spirit nearby! Look out SpiritCatcher!", hearing these now familiar words made her, Aether and Paimon look at eachother with faces that said everything.

The words were the only familiar thing though since the hat almost immediatly went for blood by turning sideways above Scaramouche, spinning faster than sound and dashing downwards, luckily for Scharamouche it just barely missed, by a few inches, but it did cut the meteor in half, "...How do with deal with this thing?" Mona asked the other three, seeing how they were the most used to this kind of situations, "I don't know!? They normally aren't that strong!" Sibley replied keeping an eye on the hat to avoid any surprises.

Scaramouche dashed to their side quickly to gain some distance, "I know we hate eachother's guts by now, but I'm willing to put 'living' first!" He told the four who quickly agreed with him, "Can you make some kind of hurricane? It's still a hat." Mona suggested seeing as the hat is still made of fabric, supposedly, "Worth a shot." Scaramouche replied as he activated his Anemo Vision and created a vortex with it, and nothing happened to the hat, "That probably should have been obvious, spirits seem to change their host slightly." Sibley rationalized, "Now that you mention it, yeah, a tree normally doesn't walk with it's roots." Aether agreed slightly confusing Scara and Mona, but they didn't pay it any mind since there was another issue now.

Since the hurricane didn't do anything, and the hat probably wouldn't just stick around for reinforcements to arrive, Sibley sighed and decided to do something a little extreme, "Aether, Paimon." She said getting the attention of the two, "I have a very, very stupid plan, and I just wanted to ask that if it doesn't work, don't bother bringing me to a doctor." She told them, "Sibley! Paimon's known you for long enough to know that when you say something is stupid, then it's absolutely the worst idea ever!" She exclaimed already hating whatever was going through Sibley's head, "Then turn around if you don't want to see." She instructed as she stepped forward.

Now nearer to the hat, Sibley caught it's full attention, "This is possibly the worst idea I'll ever have, and possibly the last." She thought to herself as the hat started flying towards her, spinning just like it did when it cut the meteor. Bracing herself, she caught the hat right the moment it cut from her shoulder to her leg, "GOTCHA!!" She yelled, forming a claw on her hand which she stabbed into the hat, catching the spirit, ripping it out and shoving it into the Freedom Matrix.

The sight of the cyan flame getting pulled out and sealed brought relief to those watching, or at least it did until they heard a loud splatter coming from Sibley, "Sibley?" Paimon called out floating towards her, but then covering her mouth and reeling back in shock at the sight before her, the others approached too and were equally shocked to see that blood had splurted out of where the hat had slashed Sibley when she pulled it out, and all over the ground in front of her, "OH MY GOD!!" Mona exclaimed in horror, suppressing the urge to vomit while Sibley fell to the ground.

"Oh fuck! OH FUCK!" Aether cried out as he hurried to check on the downed SpiritCatcher, "Sibley! Can you hear me!?" He exclaimed worried trying to get a response, "Yes... You know... I didn't think my second death would be due to a hat of all things..." She joked, causing Aether to get upset, "OH NO! You're not dying cause of a stupid hat!" He refuted as he picked her up and carried her to Mondstat to seek help, leaving Mona and Scaramouche behind, "I hope you know this is your fault." Mona told the Harbringer, "What!? My fault!? How is it my fault!?" Scaramouche challenged, "If you hadn't showed up, that spirit thing wouldn't have had anything to possess!" She pointed out, "The reason she's dying or possibly even dead, is that you couldn't help, but run your mouth! It's your fault!" Mona scolded angrily.

This left Scaramouche rather speechless, not being able to remember the last time someone acutally held him accountable for his actions, "*Sighs* Why am I wasting time here when I should be in Snezhnaya getting a new assignment!?" He scolded himself as he started leaving, but deep down what Mona told him did leave a mark, "If only everyone would just stay quiet!" He told himself as he kept walking.
