July Mingle
Welcome to Teyvat - a vast magical world of adventure.
It's time. For the sake of its future, Liyue must face unrest and a trial from the divine.

The Rite of Descension goes horribly awry, plunging the bustling harbour city into unrest and apprehension. You, Traveler, already know of the plan - but the people don't, and a good portion of them are unable to envision a world without their god. However, there are also those in Liyue who see this as an opportunity to show mortal strength. Give them your support, and the city will realize that they can move forward into the era of humanity.

While the Liyue Qixing scramble to investigate Rex Lapis' assassination, the funerary rites still have to be prepared. For this purpose Wangsheng Funeral Parlour is seeking the help of Travelers and locals alike - ritual implements, flowers, and peripherals all have to be gathered for the ceremony, and the Lord of Geo would expect only the best materials to be used. As for who's footing the bill... well, it's a good thing that you've got divine backing this time.

For those who mingle with the Fatui, they would find out that the Snezhayan 'diplomats' have begun to make a move on Guyun Stone Forest. The islands are a place where the remains of old gods have come to rest, and they are under the order of the Cryo Archon to unseal a demon god from where it had been pinned beneath the waves. As for how... it's a closely guarded secret, but travelers would be told that it is a blessing from the Tsaritsa that allows them to do so. There's no way for you to prevent it, only to prepare for battle when the inevitable comes. Such is the rules in a chess game that pits gods against each other, and against Celestia.

What will you do?

State of the World

The majority of activities for the first two weeks of July are set in Liyue and surrounding areas to gather rare historic materials for a god's funeral. Each of the special items needed for the Rite of Parting require hard work to be obtained. Characters will also be forewarned that they will need to face the Lord of the Vortex, Osial, very soon. Forneus' intention is for humanity to triumph against the god by joining forces with the Adepti and fighting together. As for what happens to Osial - should it be defeated, Forneus will ensure that it will never rise to menace Liyue again by erasing it from existence.

The success of this operation hinges on you all. Good luck.

[Rose nods in agreement, sighing. At least she isn't alone here. Suffering is better in greater numbers. Or something.]

'Annoying' is the least of it. If this is a test for the citizens of Liyue, they should be the ones gathering the flowers, should they not?

Right! They’re the ones who let themselves fall into worship of a god, it’s only fair that they should be the sole bearers responsible for them!!

[Don’t mind her, now she’s gonna park herself beside the flower as she huffs angrily.]

Besides, how is going on a wild goose chase supposed to be “guiding” them anyway?!

[Rose takes a seat next to her. Finally, someone with some common sense.]

I haven’t the foggiest. If what they’ve told us is true, we should be expecting a calamity of greater proportions. I doubt gathering daisies will help with that.

Well, that’s just great...

[Yu lets out a sigh; despite this, her shoulders have laxed somewhat. This was nice, chatting with someone she could actually understand and not feel too apprehensive about...

At least, until she realizes she might be hanging around more than necessary and immediately clears her throat.]

Ah, sorry! I didn’t mean to hold you up on your tasks.

Don't apologize. I wasn't too keen to get them done anyway.

[It has nothing to do with the fact her singing wouldn't bring any of these twelve-forsaken lilies out. Nothing at all.]

[Still, Rose feels similarly. It's nice to have someone to talk candidly with. ...Not that she'd avoid being candid, anyway.]

Are you here to gather flowers?

[She makes a small hum as nods.]

Yes. It's a little hard, but frankly, I think it's also quite alright compared to the other tasks.

[AKA she never, ever wants to hear the word "cocogoat" in her entire lifetime again.]

The other tasks?

[Rose has been struggling something fierce trying to get these flowers to come out. Call her surprised.]

Dare I ask what the other tasks were?

Let’s see, there was mining jade, sorting out other types of flowers to be made into perfumes-

[And then very quietly, under her breath:]

..coco...goat.....

Perfumes sound easy enough, but I imagine they were just as annoying.

[Rose shakes her head.]

Cocogoat?
