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!

[Is this an allegory about how humanity is the greatest monster, or is she talking about things that go bump in the night? It’s hard to say.]
I trust the evening finds you in good spirits.
no subject
[ Trevor's got strong tolerance to alcohol because of his unfortunate drinking hobby. He'll be here for a while. ]
I've been better that's for sure. Do you want a refill? Figured you might need it.
no subject
[Rose can't say for certain, but incidents like these rarely end without having to fight a god/dragon/giant monster of some sort. She quickly downs her drink before looking back at Trevor.]
I most certainly do.
no subject
[ He makes sure that Rose's glass is completely full and close to overflowing. ]
How many of these have you had? I've forgotten how to count so I'll say 1000. I feel like I've had 1000 drinks.
no subject
[Translation: Probably one too many drinks. She raises her glass.]
A toast. We may be in a terrible situation, but at least the people aren't the worst.
no subject
[Trevor holds his glass up and exchanges a toast with her. ]
I really don't have the tolerance to put up with bullshit. And there's so much bullshit. Is there something on your mind, Rose? Asides from the drinks.
[She's clearly occupied with them.]
no subject
[Rose raises her glass in turn. He's right, and he should say it.]
Nothing of import. Though, I do wonder, if our job is to kill Celestia, why are we spending so much time here? We know where the archon is.
no subject
Something fishy. Maybe we're missing the bigger picture. Isn't that possible?
[They only know so much about their own circumstances so Trevor suspects that there's other work going on elsewhere.]
no subject
I'm not one to trust gods, typically, and Forneus is no exception. I'm not sure if he's purposefully trying to harm us, but you're correct. There's something else going on here.
no subject
[ Trevor just takes another drink too it's a long night and he thinks he could use another. His need for alcohol grows stronger by the minute as well. ]
Forneus might be deceiving us for all we know. You have good instincts.
no subject
To the gods, we’re naught but playthings. Even those with good intentions tend to manipulate mankind, and don’t always understand that what they ask of us is too much.
[She absolutely needs another drink at this point.]
no subject
[ It sounds like Trevor has a lot to say about these unruly Godly beings. He stayed in Wallachia where it was always a living nightmare. The Gods are partially to blame for it. He doesn't hold them to a higher regard. ]
On the other hand, I don't think humans can understand God.
