June Mingle: Time For A Hike
Welcome to Teyvat - a vast magical world of adventure.
Finally, it's time to leave Death Mountain for warmer climates. THe Travelers will begin their journey from Mondstadt to Liyue on the first of November, after packing up and saying goodbye the Mondstadt's Adventurers' Guild. But worry not - if you ever miss the City of Wind and Song, it's possible to teleport back for a brief visit.

The Travelers will head out of Mondstadt through Stone Gate, cross Dihua Marsh and then reach the Guili Plains. You'll be camping out under the stars on some days, while getting to enjoy various roadside inns on other days - including the famed Wangshu Inn, all under Forneus' bill. But it does bring up a question: where did he get all that mora from?

Speaking of Forneus, it seems that he's too busy to accompany you on this road trip. Instead, Zhongli will serve as his stand-in. For those who do not know him well, he introduces himself as an Adeptus... and also the Geo Archon, who has enlisted your help to test his nation. What will you do?

State of the World

June will be a lighter period in the game for characters to bond with each other while traveling as a group, and later while exploring and trolling Liyue to the best of their ability. Forneus will not be available for the first two weeks as he is busy; instead Zhongli is tasked with answering questions in his place. A reference of the scenery your character might see on the way can be found in this video here! Feel free to check out Liyue's music here as well.

For all questions regarding June's mingle and events, please head over to our OOC post.

[People who draw were always fascinating. Roxas comes over quietly and sees the landscape. Namine would love this...]

You're really good at that.

[Hi. You have an audience.]

[fortuna_tenax]

( if she were a lesser woman who was not a goddamn ninja, she would have jumped, because she was just that involved in her sketching. instead, as if she definitely wasn't spooked just now- which she wasn't- she just smiles. )

Thanks. You should see me with paint. ... wonder if I can find some to get somewhere...

[missingache]

You can paint?

[Whoa! Namine couldn't do that... just draw.

Don't think he didn't catch that last part.]

... you could ask Zhongli about paints? He seems to know a lot about this place.

[fortuna_tenax]

Mmmhm. I like watercolor most, but I'd like to think I'm pretty good with oils and acrylics too.

( she pauses at the idea of asking zhongli- there's something... odd about that, to her. no, she'll not be having that, thank you. )

Maybe. I've been keeping an eye out at the different vendors we've seen...

[missingache]

That's a lot of different paints...

[You can paint with water? Weird... he knows paint that goes on walls and the ones that make fancy pictures. That was... one of those other two. Maybe.]

Have you asked any of them? They might know what it looks like if it doesn't look the same as what you know.

[fortuna_tenax]

I've seen some art supplies, but not quite what I'm thinking of...

( except she really only ever just 'looks'. as a stranger in a new world, part of her is reluctant to actually start... existing, comfortably here. and that means shopping can be a bit difficult. )

[missingache]

Are you looking for modern supplies? I noticed a lot of stuff looks really old.

[Twyvat seems ancient in a lot of respects compared to what Roxas is used to.]

[fortuna_tenax]

Ah- no, not necessarily. It's...

( for all her experience as a fighter, it never seems to lend its strengths in other ways- like when she needs eloquence. or to allow herself even the tiniest bit of vulnerability. stupid lousy terrible upbringing. )

I don't know how to explain it.

[missingache]

[Hard to explain.... He really doesn't get it.]

Okay? Uhm... if I see paints, I'll let you know so you can see if they're what you're looking for.

[fortuna_tenax]

( nope, he does not. but that's okay. )

Thanks. I appreciate it.

[missingache]

Hopefully we'll be in the same place. It's hard not to have phones...

[This whole snail mail thing is rough.]

[fortuna_tenax]

Oh, honestly. I have my team communicator from back home and it's... mostly useless. ... But it's a small comfort, so.

[missingache]

I wish I had at least the phone from the last place... I had some apps I liked on there.

[fortuna_tenax]

I do miss my DS.

( she didn't have a lot of things on there but like, the things she did... she misses. )

... Have you ever tried drawing, or anything?

[missingache]

What's a DS...

[Was that some sort of different phone?]

Not really. I never thought about doing that... it looks fun, but I don't think I'd be good at it.

[fortuna_tenax]

Hand-held gaming console.

Mm... Good's subjective, I think. Like... even following references, it's not always about accuracy. Just go with what feels right, y'know?

[missingache]

.... I have no idea what a gaming console is.

I do that with cooking. Is it the same?

[fortuna_tenax]

( you know what, she... does not want to explain video games. )

It can be, yeah. Cooking's considered an art too. ... ( idly, she flips to a blank page and offers the sketchbook and pencil to him. ) Give it a shot. Do what feels good.
