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.

Please direct all questions to July's OOC post!

[Boy. Does that description sound ever familiar. But that certainly confirms the energy coming from it. ]

I see...

And I take it that someone is a god?

[nefilim]

You catch onto things way too quick, y'know that?

[Which also means he's absolutely right.]

But... yes. Some things happened at home...

[whiteshroud]

[There's a distorted sound that's probably laughter]

Well when I have one myself, so it's easy to recognize...

[So, there's that! Game recognizes game. But it's probably best his face is shrouded by his hood, because the expression he is making]

Apparently so.

[Self-proclaimed god killer getting a seal from a god. YEAH. SOMETHING HAPPENED ALRIGHT]

[nefilim]

[LOOK...... SOMETIMES KILLING A GOD CHANGES TO DATING ONE IT JUST HAPPENS. And she knows he's making a face, she just knows it.]

They, uh... They helped me with something really personal. And I think I managed to help them with something.

[In the most mildest of terms.]

And so we decided to make this pact, since we figured we would be stuck together for a... While.

[This is the most unromantic way of saying she started dating them.]

[whiteshroud]

[ .... 💧 ]

Uh huh. [This so vague that it's suspicious, so Jun pauses for a moment before deciding to take the plunge and up the ante by saying it in the most unromantic way possible]

Did you help each other with your pants, Onee-chan?

[HE KNOWS SOME THINGS, HE'S READ FIC]

[nefilim]

[The sound that comes from Ana could only be described as a choked, verbalised version of a keysmash. Basically just choking on air for a moment, before she remembers how words work.]

W-w-what?! You can't just... say it like that?!

[JUN!!!!!

He's not wrong though, and she's glad the hood of this disguise can hide how flustered she is right now.]

Look... Look! [She's going somewhere with this.] Things just happen, okay! Even stuff like that!!

[Basically he's totally right and she has no excuse.]

not here

[pragmatism]

[ Somewhere in Liyue, Zhongli suddenly feels very tired. ]

[whiteshroud]

[Sorry Grandpa. Seal Knight or not, he's still a bratty teenager. As such, there's a distorted sound coming from him that definitely sounds like laughter. ]

I knew it.

[HE HAS NO SHAME AND REGRETS NOTHING]

Congratulations on the relationship.
