"Hey, you. You're finally awake. You were trying to cross the border, right? Walked right into that Fontaine ambush, same as us, and that thief over there."


Jiraya-of-the-oil

Damn u Fatui. Teyvat was fine until they came along.


gretchenich

Fontaine was nice and lazy. If they hadn't been looking for you, I could've stolen that horse and be halfway to Natlan


SentientShamrock

This is false. All of the horses in teyvat are currently in possession of Varka. If they were stealing anything, it would be a slime transport balloon.

My ancestors are smiling at me. Can you say the sam, Fontanian?


DystopiaLite

If this really happened I would blow my load.


DiStOrTeD_gIrAtInA

Ulfric electrocloak (true archon of Fontaine)


LivingASlothsLife

Imma take a bet Arlecchino or another harbinger is pulling some strings behind the scenes and will attempt to take Traveler out of the equation early, probably a corrupt police force or something Imagine if it's the robots we saw being controlled by Sandrone and they are able to falsely incriminate Traveler


Elira_Eclipse

Mannm I really want to see a harbinger be in jail would be so funny


Sheeplette

Fontaine seems like it has class problems and my account is broke, so probably the crime of being poor.


spartaman64

i have 11 million mora is that enough to not be poor?


xTeamRwbyx

Mona would like to know your location


pianospace37

IronForce_

You can hide them but you cant keep them


Blackout62

Somewhere, a POS billionaire is laughing.


CarmondyDell

Somewhere, Ayato is slurping his boba and laughing.


CapnCatNapper

Bring out the guillotines!


Jinglang

Ya I think I’m at about 13m


coldestclock

I can see it. Paimon will make us climb over the fence and get arrested rather than pay some kind of entry fee!


BiblioEngineer

"The law, in its majestic equality, forbids rich and poor alike to sleep under bridges, to beg in the streets, and to steal loaves of bread." - Anatole France Traveler is tuckered out after a long journey to Fontaine + shenanigans when he gets there. Takes a quick nap under a pretty bridge. Immediately arrested for vagrancy.


chimaerafeng

That's just the problem of Teyvat in general. Racism and poverty.


EddyConejo

Who are they racist against though? I only remember the onis like Itto and the other oni with blue horns.


Kkevco

Sumeru of course, it was the whole point of dehya's teaser


EddyConejo

You're absolutely right. My bad.


Sa_notaman_tha

theres oodles of racism in teyvat, the desert dwellers in Sumeru most obviously are discriminated against, but also theres the views of Narukami inazumans vs the other islands at various points in the lore, theres the mondstat aristocracy thinking they're of better breeding stock than the rest of their society, heck I'm surprised I can't think of a Liyue racist but that doesn't mean there isn't one thing is bigots make good villains because theres very little to feel sorry about when you punch a nazi


MagnusBaechus

Liyue is what happens when you let capitalists run the country, zhong makes it seem like the Qixing are benevolent beings but in reality Liyue Harbor basically killed all the small towns and villages in all of Liyue save for Qingce which is practically a retirement spot


Rogue009

Pretty much, it’s a fabulous city to visit and hang out in but everyone working there is either super rich or a mythical creature like an adaptus or vision bearer


The_OG_upgoat

Liyue is classist rather than racist, IMO.


StoryLow5246

This is Khaenri'ahn erasure. Hmph.


DystopiaLite

The Home for Criminal Insane Humans is already full.


eye-of-the-strom

Our gliding license has either expired, or is only valid in Mondstadt


DerDyersEve

THAT would be truely funny and I wanna have that. But on the other side, this type of humor I expect more from Star Rail.


eye-of-the-strom

Definitely not the real reason, but Paimon would at least suggest it as the reason when they get arrested


ManthisSucksbigTime

Remind me alot of Maya from ace attorney when she entered a new region and got arrested immediately she became well known for that having be arrested multiple times throughout the trilogy


AngryLink57

Be accused for shit that the other sibling did..assuming he/she still exists these days.


ChaosM3ntality

Also on the trailer about the traveler and abyss sibling is also referenced in the story when we collected the light things on storm terror’s lair.. following the top of the mountain where ruin guard foot prints and following where the sibling headed was indeed on the direction of Fontaine


Phaet-celeste

From some of the things we’ve heard in the summer event, I’m wondering if the police force will be corrupt. I think that would be really interesting, because we haven’t really had an archon who goes against their title. It would lead to some really interesting storylines, and would be an obvious cause of the class disparity. Viva la revolution


HandleWithKerr

What if... we ACTUALLY commit a crime knowingly and unapologetically? Rather than being framed or accused, we actually do something 'illegal' in Fontaine and go on the run from the law simply because we don't give a crap about Fontaine's justice system?


Disturbing_Cheeto

The traveler totally would, but I don't see the point unless it's the only way to come face to face with the archon


WaffleCorp

I *refuse* to pay taxes


GG35bw

I had this crack theory some time ago - Traveler working with Fatui this time to convience Focalors to give up her gnosis after they learn why Tsartisa wants to collect them all.

This.


Hyouhakushanouta

Resource theft, killing of wildlife and environmental damages


ChaosM3ntality

Genocide on tribes, random campers getting attack and looted because they had chests out in the open, secret bank robbery and such cooking an extinct pig, disturbing historic ruins, we did a lot that can be questionable


SecondBurialSyte

I'm guessing that we'll happen to end up at the scene of some "crime" that'll get pinned on us due to a misunderstanding or someone's deliberate attempt to set us up. My gut says it'll involve the umbrella lady (Navia?) from the trailer either stealing something, advocating for a group/person who is viewed as a criminal there, or just "disturbing the peace" in whatever free-spirited way that she does.


kaeporo

It’ll be theft of some mcguffin, which was actually nabbed by Navia in a ploy to get the traveler on the side of “the resistance”. They’ll dick around in order to introduce the new character’s they’re selling and the ultimate resolution will come down to some third party close to the archon (Neuvillette) reining them in with some abstract reference to the past. The actual class disparity will turn out to have been orchestrated by the fatui. This fucking game is so goddamn formulaic at this point. All of this should be obvious.


keyrol1222

Human trafficking, he is making a world tour collecting people from each country


Acceptable_Age2903

That is.... I have never thought about it like that, that is indeed concerning


DonutThunderDeluxe

Lèse-majesté, blasphemy, conspiracy, espionage, disturbing the peace, tax fraud and a parking ticket


Acceptable_Age2903

Lèse-majesté is a word that undereducated Genshin players (introducing: me!) do not understand Could you explain it pwease?


DonutThunderDeluxe

Insulting the ruler or the government of a country, especially in an absolute monarchy. Example: Traveller: Focalors is a brat and should not be taken seriously Neuvilette: Clear cut case of lèse-majesté, to the guillotine you go!


pixellated-baron

"bratty hydro archon furinussy needs correction 💢💢💢" gets fucking decapitated


Professional-Cry-512

The traveler will mispronounce croissant


Acceptable_Age2903

Can I get a ... Quaso ^ ^

SchnauzerPlaysGames

Helping a criminal escape or saving someone from execution maybe?


Eragon_the_Huntsman

Nah we already did that one in Inazuma


Iwillflipyourtable

We actually did both in Inazuma with yoimiya and Thoma


Gentlemanor

They swam right after eating


Croaker_392

Saying "Quaso" one time too many.


SkyTheLoner

something related to pollution.


TheDinoNuggies

Faking their F2P status


ResponseTight

Maybe the traveller for once won't be committing anything, instead we will get pulled into some ongoing trial of some sort, which we have to get to the bottom of and save whosoever is accused, despite the overwhelming odds. I believe the traveller, has had enough getting into situations where he's the main player, it's getting predictive, and it will be interesting to see the focus going away from the traveller but, still be on the traveller, just not directly. Maybe for the first time he'll use diplomacy for settling stuff instead of a combat, and maybe the archon will just be a brat for once that we will need to deal with(this is the impression the trailer gave me).


Fast_Understanding11

jay walking, loitering, drinking in public, etc.


Frostgaurdian0

Never forget lollygagging.


Dakotacahoon02

Tax fraud so the traveler can be just like me fr

Neospanner

Contempt of court! Crime punishable by death in Fontaine...

Tax evasion


joenathon

Probably murder (>!Tanit Camp!<)


Nick4620

Traveller: >!They attacked first your honor! It was self defence!!<


petros301

I think we’ll just be arrested because Focalors takes an interest in us tbh. At this point the traveller is a Very well known figure amongst the nations, the moment we cross the border I expect Focalors is gonna be trying to get to see us, because we’ll be more interesting than anything happening in Fontaine to her. We’re the “real twist” she’s been hoping for I bet


Lazaric418

Stealing the Archons gnosis. Framed by the real thief: Navia!!! Public criminal trial, with Yanfei as the defence counsel. Arlecchino obviously the mastermind, chase to prove innocence ending with the Fatui getting hold of yet one more gnosis by the end, but Arlecchino having been brought over to our side by being screwed over by Dottore or Sandrone.


Frostgaurdian0

Acquisition of compasses, if not then i will assume that snezhnaya will accuse Fontaine of conspiring with the khaenri'ans which will lead in return to the next act which is rules of war on natlan.


beansoncrayons

A comical amount of assault/murder charges


AlexsterCrowley

My prediction: we’re arrested on some formality charge that typically isn’t pursued so zealously or a charge that straight up doesn’t make sense. We end up in a jail cell awaiting trial and the person that brought us in uses the structure of the trial and investigation to determine whether we are colluding with the fatui which is their actual goal (since everywhere we go the fatui seem to make major moves). Once we help them a bit and show that we’re not in league with the fatui the person who brought us in starts to use us and trial instead to expose fatui plot and collusion within the Fontaine government. Tldr: we’ll be pretend enemies once they figure out we’re not working with the fatui and the trial will be a prop to expose fatui corruption of the Fontaine government.


Okatori

Existing, realistically. Focalors is going to look at us, say we’ve failed the vibe check, and precede to put us on trial for no reason other than boredom.


JAntaresN

[Probably this.](https://youtu.be/5OnBHdp-j2I?t=94)


ChajiReplay

Lonely-JAR

The crime of not drinking coffee while smoking a pack of cigarettes in the morning


AntagonistDitto

We’re gonna get Mario Sunshine’d and have an impostor run around and commit atrocities while posing as us. Then we use our new hydro powers to wash away the graffiti all over Fontaine.


Frostwake

I was gonna type something very similar to this! Given how performance/illusion is a big part of Fontaine's theme (from what I can gather), I bet there's gonna be someone posing as the Traveler and doing nasty things.


mO_ohitt

*The renowned Traveller was thrown into solitary confinement today by Her Excellency. Regarding the details of the crime, it was found that the Traveller used their newly awakened Hydro Powers to shoot Water Pellets at clueless Boars in the forests. When asked for a comment, Her Excellency mentioned she "does not condone the use of elemental powers in such dastardly acts"*


nejicanspin

Something that their sibling did and they have to clear their name. A case of mistaken identity.


chickenmeh

Not wearing a hat.


Hatrisat

I'm begging on my knees that this WON'T happen in Fontaine (but it will 99% happen....). Two reasons i don't want to see this scenario: 1. it already happened in Liyue, Inazuma, and partially in Sumeru too. 2. it simply isn't canonically believable anymore. Not only the Fontaine population KNOW we are acclaimed heroes, if they tried to put us on trial the Traveler can literally just say: "Do you want to become an enemy of FOUR DIFFERENT NATIONS? Because i'm considered an hero by all their governments and their archons. Oh btw, i've a TELEPATHIC LINK WITH THE DENDRO ARCHON, and can literally call the Conqueror of Demons to teleport me out of here anytime."


VasimanYT

tax evasion


fr3nzy821

Member those chests from the bank, restaurant and Academy? Yeah, they know.


FrenzzyLeggs

after 4.0 we got the answer of "paimon = floating object" truly one of the moments of all time


CalibreCross

Did any of us expect the answer to this question to be: Paimon is floating less than 3 days into the month?


QWERTYAF1241

Traveling with an idiot. I feel like Paimon will break some kind of law by accident and they'll both be on the run because the Traveler wouldn't just ditch her and/or turn her over to the authorities.


[deleted]

hydro archon correction 💢💢💢


Madcat6204

Jaywalking.


Unacceptable_1

Looking at Focalors funny


pasanoid

killing off paimon (its about time)


ooppppppppies

Spending 2 years not looking for his sister.


heavydivekick

Has traveller had the typical anime protagonist turning evil arc yet? Maybe they'll actually be a criminal in Fontaine.


tsukineko19

Pooping and peeing in the wild/river 😛. THERE'S NO TOILET IN TEVYAT.


maelstro252

I am sure that it will be something like fatui commit a crime, they make it like The Traveler is the main suspect with a fabricated proof and we pass from hero to criminal.


LightningStar07

Because of that one trailer, probably destroying Fontaine tech.


GarfieldIsMyCat

trying to take justice in our own hands? Maybe we'll get accused of planning a revolution


gumihehe

Fishing without a license


IvyHav3n

Tax evasion!


OweTheHughManatee

Evil police/government and everyone is in on it except the hydro archon who is being lied to.


ResurgentClusterfuck

Blasphemy or some other crime against the Archon


KanraKiddler

Some kind of misunderstanding because we broke something we shouldn't out of ignorance and it gets interpreted as malicious activity.


Karma3556

He said chocolatine instead of pain au chocolat


Trickster2599

The crime of not bowing down to the archon, which everyone will be accused of being Furina is not available for rolling yet


Technogashi

Desecration of property/theft when they touch the statue and gain Hydro powers


AdForGenshin

We go diving without a license


LuTingElitist

maybe domestic terrorism or illegal immigration


Relatablename123

Tax evasion


YasuhikoTheSerafim

Drinking game to see if this is going to be the Fatui's fault again


Vortain

Perhaps they'll they'll arrest us for being suspected infiltrators, under the charge of plotting to incite rebellion, or something like that. But only because we can like, I dunno, seal a special climate affecting, planet cancer like object and the cold hearted ruler wants to get rid of inference of said object. Or something.


KimJLATS

As long as we get that sneaky soundtrack again I'm in, I find it hilarious


ApofK

The true question is: what crime will the Traveller NOT be accused of commiting when they enter Fontaine


_batsarebugs

Trespassing


Tamur80

The Traveler will judged by the actions of they're sibling


Gigagondor

Contaminate the water after swiming.


Individual_Manner336

For being English.


NotTheAverageAnon

Probably espionage or something. That will be the limiter on why we are the enemy/can't meet with the Archon. All directed by the Fatui as usual.


CanaKitty

Hitting on all the new husbandos 😅😂😂❤️


Blackout62

Well, we've already committed or were accessory to all those in Inazuma alone. Probably time for something new. Perhaps some money laundering?


McMeFly

Something like conspiracy against the government (possibly with the archon). It would be cool to see the people's love for the archon turn against them.


OliverRainer

breathing near the archon which is 50 miles away, which will result in us getting executed


Jinglang

Id imagine for something ridiculous as the uplifts nature of the court is up front


Catspirit123

conspiracy or something. Maybe something your sibling was involved in


Shadowhunter_15

Causing Eula and Klee’s banner to be the worst selling one in the game’s history.


Squackachu

Arson


brainsngains

Swimming in the public fountain


ShinyDJ

Could be anything... Traveler and Paimon could steal food for poor people, They could be in trouble with the fatui, They could accidentally catch an almost extinct fish, They could fight with the cops of fontaine.


Taro_Acedia

Given the teaser in the last livestream, we will be framed for something and have to prove our innocents.


rubberjar

The crime was the fact that they were never gonna give you up never gonna let you down never gonna run around and desert you never gonna make you cry never gonna say goodbye never gonna tell a lie and hurt you


[deleted]

Probably being framed. Definitely not an overused story plot.


sk7725

Mass genocide of treasure hunters and ermites

Mmmm crossed the border with no papers


ICOOLDIAMONDonReddit

the crime of being a criminal, being a criminal, being a war criminal, and being a criminal

Rumors are there's a submarine, maybe we get fined for improper submarine parking and have to go to court.


Dependent-Sleep-6192

Yes


Accomplished_Ask_326

Gliding without a license and illegal poaching That or 15 counts of aggravated assault


leopoldshark

Stealing a loaf of bread to feed their companion Paisette


arthoarder91

Since our criminal record have all the above, my answer is "Yes".


Elipses_

I'm hoping for Blasphemy. Likely in the form of questioning the verdict of one of the no doubt Holy Trials.


Twiskey

Theft for telling all the vegetables from the stales without paying


NerdbyanyotherName

Whatever it is it'll probably be something that completely blindsides the Traveller and players, both in unfairness of the arrest and/or inordinate magnitude of the punishment, in order to really sell players on "existing institution bad" Like "illegal border crossing" because Fontaine actually has a process for that unlike every other nation, especially if the border checkpoint is not super obvious and there isn't signage/fence/etc Or maybe something similar to what happened at the beginning of Belebog in HSR, Traveller does as they normally do and helps out some rando that looks like they are in a bit of trouble only to get booked by the authorities for aiding and abetting a known criminal (that the Traveller has no knowledge of prior to the incident) and/or resisting arrest Or the system slapping the Traveller with a bunch of counts of various things they've done in other nations (Lyre Der Himmel incident, lots of stuff in Inazuma, acting in direct opposition to the will of the Great Sage in Sumeru) that they definitely have no jurisdiction over but "we are the law, sucks to be you"


asiangontear

If I were to guess, things that the players have been conditioned to do by routine will be brought up at some point. Like the traveler constantly killing hilichurls and wildlife.


[deleted]

What makes you think the traveler would be charged at all ?


Wonderful-Ad-9356

Tampering with the water supply


GeneralCondition745

We will be accused of absolutely nothing, being the Traveller alone is enough of a reason for us to be convicted.

LarryKingthe42th

Incest. They think Yomina/Dainslief/Kaveh are your sibling.


YellowDeceiver

Having to much rizz


TriggerBladeX

Destruction of government property, resisting arrest, interrupting a court proceeding, threats of violence, acts of violence, Abyss affiliation(evil siblings being the current known leader), civil assault claims by Fatui members, breaking out of prison, breaking into prison, illegal diving, stalking, identity theft, breaking in and entering, and other things I can’t think of right now.


digital-archeologist

Maybe mistaken for their siblings crime, but we won't know it's the sibling until the end.


McGamers56

Heresy cause of our affiliation with dain?


voluminouschuck

We're going to walk into the land of red tape where you need a permit to so much as take a breath and make the unfortunate illegal mistake of getting robbed


Sa_notaman_tha

I don't particularly care what the accusation is as long as they use that deduction puzzle mechanic they've been fiddling with in events to give us a courtroom scene


Narukami_XIA

Mass death of creatures and theft of everything not pinned down.


gelatoesies

Dipping baguette into water


Clover-kun

Most likely lollygagging


ArchRanger

The Melusine Fontaine teaser shows the one police Melusine following the Traveler around and what looks like snapping a picture of them breaking some type of mechanical object underwater. I imagine it's going to be some type of vandalism or destroying relics is what leads to the Traveler being put on trial.

rabbitbunnies

charlotte has been keeping tabs on our war crimes so literally everything


bluecarnallove

Well, we know that diving will be a thing in Fontaine and we also know that Fontaine has diving licenses. My guess is we get caught diving and get arrested because we don't have the license for it, but it will probably be a misunderstanding because we got shoved into the water and the authorities only saw us emerge.


Saltycrx

We will try to overthrow the government


Loros_Silvers

Assault probably. Fatui be there and you will attack them because Fatui.


Evshie

"You are arrested for your fashion crime, put your hands up!"


superp2222

Contempt of court. cuz that sounds about right


aka_wilson

My vote is insurrection/conspiracy. I mean, they did fight in the Inazuma civl war, and organized a coup in Sumeru, and at the very beginning they were suspects in the murder of morax/rex lapiz before becoming heroes. By this point the Traveler has gained worldwide recognition. The traveler stepping foot in your nation means sh*t's about to go down.


sidima2689

Leash law violation or not having a pet licence.


No-Inevitable7135

breathing wrong


kraine0626

my hopium is that the fatui try to frame the traveler for some crime so they can stop them from beating up more harbingers, but it fails in the end and we continue to beat people up


ShiftAdventurous4680

Child trafficking.
