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!

What the fuck is this all about?

[ Trevor turns around and tries to cover his ears but he can still hear everything just fine and he thinks he looks stupider than usual. ]

This isn't working as well as I was hoping.

[crimsonpoppy]

[Good thing Trevor can’t see her face turning a slightly bright cherry red right now because boy, she’s so embarrassed. Gdit, she doesn’t really want to do this, but he ain’t leaving, so she’s gotta. Of all the humans she has to sing in front of, too…!

Regardless, Yu takes the moment to work up the courage and try to ease her nerves.

Once she does and feels confident to think that he can’t hear her (from her perspective at least, whoops), she takes in one last deep breath, before she lets loose an otherworldly melody. Longing, sadness, the feeling of eternity...all of it pours forth from her lips; the stronger her emotions grow, the more the petals of the Glaze Lily begin to unfurl faster-- and at the end, as her pitch reaches the climax, the flower finally reaches the state of full bloom.

Taking in one last breath, Yu heaves a long sigh and waves at Trevor.]

Alright, it’s over! You can turn around now.

You know I turned around before you even asked me to.

I was never good at listening to instructions.

[ He's just being difficult on purpose. ]

Well, what do you know? You got the damn thing to bloom.

[crimsonpoppy]

[internal pterodactyl dying wheezing, why are u like this mang!!]

Only because you wouldn't go! I-it's been a while since I've sang in full, okay?!

[Ah heck, she lost her composure for a bit. Yu sighs as she bends down to pick up the lily, like as if that didn't happen.]

Seriously, do you need help with anything? I'll go with you if you want to.
