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.

Oh, definitely. So... ( she thinks for a moment- before leaning over a little, almost smiling. ) Tell me about food in Liyue then! Food is a huge aspect of life.

[pragmatism]

The cuisine of Liyue is divided into two main schools: the Li-style focuses on meat and vegetables, while the Yue-style focuses more on seafood and other ingredients. Both have their own adherents and their own merits. You can also find cuisine of other nations in Liyue, brought in by passing merchants and adopted by enterprising chefs.

[ The intricacies can take up to three days to fully explain. He figures Jinx wouldn't exactly appreciate that. ]

[fortuna_tenax]

( yes she would but amity, who is tired, would struggle. )

Do you have any preferences...?

( it's a simple question- but probably a bigger deal than he realizes. food is an act of love, after all. )

sorry for the late!!

[pragmatism]

[ sept, who is tired, would also die. that feel when your characters are way more powerful than you are ]

My preferences? Hmm...

[ Zhongli appears to give it some thought. ]

There are some dishes that were common fare in the distant past. Farming techniques and other inventions to assist in food production were only adopted for widespread use after the Archon War, so the more complex dishes you see today are a comparatively recent invention. The dishes that have endured through the years bring me some measure of nostalgia.

UR GOOD FAM

( excuse you sir she wanted specifics. sighs except not really, guess it's time for lunch with dad, then! )

Not quite what I meant. What specific dishes do you like? ... Ah, never mind, let's just go get lunch.

( no, mister god, you aren't getting a choice in this. )

[pragmatism]

[ Her response leaves Zhongli blinking for a few moments, but he figures she preferred firsthand encounters over his narration. He follows Jinx as she starts walking. If they're going to get food, he has some money. ]

Alright.

[ What will she order for herself? He's curious about that as well. ]
