What just happened?! ⋆｡°✩ (A Honkai Star Rail Fanfic)

The Astral Express

"So? How are you finding the Express so far?"

Turning around, Y/N was faced with the usual smile Himeko would wear when talking to people. The kind of smile that would make other people want to smile with her.

"I like it, the atmosphere is very comfortable" He says sighing out as he looks back out the window into the cosmos

"There's a room for you to set your stuff in, it has the general necessities. A bed, a desk, a chair, shelfs. It's your room now that you've joined the Astral Express, so you can decorate it however you want once you have the time."
Himeko says, drawing Y/N's attention back to her as she turns to one of the doors at the end of the cart

"I'll be sure to make use of it, thank you so much for having me." He says smiling at her as he nods his head slightly in thanks, before ultimately making his way into the corridors of the Express.

As he closes the door behind him, His phone vibrates slightly, so little that he'd barely noticed. But he knew who this was, especially since he hadn't had service since arriving in the space station

As he takes out his phone, he's slightly surprised to be faced with a purple background instead of the usual black background he was used to seeing

"I've left your presents in your new room, together with an extra present just for you ;)"

He smiles at the message, having become oddly fond of their way of texting as he shoots a message back

"Thanks, I'll be sure to make good use of them :D"

He skips to the end of the hallway, the other rooms already occupied by the other nameless

Y/N grips the door handle and pushes the door open, faced with a simply decorated room just as Himeko said it would be

A King sized bed that was pushed into the right corner of the room, a small bedside table to the left if it. Further to the left of it stands a tall cupboard seemingly empty as well as a few shelfs lined up against the wall beside it.

Underneath the shelfs stands a wide desk, accompanied with a wooden chair which held a seat cushion

But the most interesting part about the table wasn't the table itself, it was the lengthy black box sitting atop of it, neatly tied together with a purple bow.

'Purple. the present' Purple always seemed to connect back to the watcher that was looking over him

Y/N peeks his head back into the hallway, making sure nobody would interrupt his gift opening before closing the door and locking it from the inside.

Approaching the desk he scoots the wooden chair to the side and slips his bag onto the floor beside the desk, before untying the purple tie and slipping it off of the black box carefully

He grips both sides of the box, slipping the top off slowly and setting it aside as he stares at the presents in front of him

There were two things in the box

A Sword, which he'd wished for in the beginning

And a gun, which matched the sword in appearance and seemed to be the 'extra gift' the watcher mentioned.

The Sword had a black hilt, the hilt surrounded by a loop guard that would lead into the eventual cross guard of the sword

The middle of the cross had a four pointed star shape that would lead into the Fuller of the blade, which had a deep purple color and would eventually end at the beginning of the central ridge of the sword.

The swords blade was on the narrower side, but seemed to have enough width to still cut through objects no problem

The blade itself was black as well, matching the black on the hilt.
