Welcome to Teyvat - a vast magical world of adventure.
Happy new year....! In Teyvat, that is. It is now January ingame, and Liyue's people go about their disaster recovery efforts with more vigour than before. After all, Liyue's biggest festival is slated to occur in the latter half of the month - the Lantern Rite!
The Rite of Parting - Rex Lapis' funeral - passes without much incident, and Liyue collectively breathes a sigh of relief. With the Fatui being chased out of the yard, it seems that peace will finally return to the harbour city as they rebuild from the storm. You'll also get to watch three million Mora's worth of incense go up in smoke, so there's that.
Eager to focus on the future, Liyue folk have begun discussing the upcoming festival. The Lantern Rite commemorates hope for a new beginning and continued prosperity, and the construction of the festival centerpiece is currently underway. This year's Mingxiao Lantern will soar into the sky amidst thousands of smaller lanterns, and it will take the shape of a fallen Adeptus to commemorate the Adepti's contribution to Liyue's lasting peace.
Unfortunately, you're not quite out of the frying pan yet. With the Fatui gone from Liyue, the Ministry of Civil Affairs turn their attention to solving another issue that has cropped up after Osial's revival and subsequent defeat. Quite a few miners have gone missing from the Chasm, and the likelihood of finding them will only grow slimmer as the days go by. Both the Millelith and the Adventurers' Guild have pitched in to search for the kidnapped people. All clues lead to Nantianmen - and it's just your luck that Geovishaps and their hatchlings have come out of hibernation at around the same time. These lizard-like beings have shells of solid rock, and they seem especially agitated at having their territory invaded. Solving the mystery of the missing miners will take more than just a day's work.
State of the World
With the Lantern Rite set to open on January 21st, all of Liyue have come to visit the harbour to set up their stalls and pitch in to craft the Mingxiao Lantern. Hopefully the miners are found before the festival begins - the Lantern Rite is a festival of reunions, after all. Not to mention the Geovishaps' increased activity will inadvertently lead to them burrowing around in the rocky mountains. There's a small, but non-zero chance of them hitting an ancient seal somewhere and unleashing a buried threat.
Unless... that was their intention all along?
Please direct all questions to August's OOC post!

[Hmmm. He considers]
I wonder if any place serves fries in Liyue...I can't say I looked for any specifically... [He shrugs] Well, we can try asking if there's an equivalent. If not, I can make him some fries later.
no subject
Traitor. What sorta stuff do they have here?
no subject
Aha, my friend Rean could describe it better, but in my world...it would be called "Eastern food". I don't know about other worlds though.
It's really good! Though it can get pretty spicy if you aren't careful. [Elliot is delicate ok]
no subject
[How do ask "like Chinese or Japanese" without. saying. that.]
no subject
Yeah! Exactly like that!
no subject
Yes. Okay, what's good, what kinda stuff d'they got?
no subject
Well, I'm pretty partial to these things called Jade Parcels! They're like little pouches full of ham and vegetables! It's really good.
[Also he may be partial because Rean made them for him, but shhhhh he can't help being gay]
no subject
[He looks to Julian who just nods.]
Julian's cool with it, just don't mind if he steals your food.
no subject
[But he gives a nod and starts leading them to Wanmin restaurant]
This way, it's not far.
no subject
He literally just met you, dumbass, he's not cheating oh my god.
Caw!
Elliot, please tell my bird you don't mean a raven. Even if you do mean a raven, just tell him that so he'll shut up.
no subject
[What a sensitive bird!! Guess puns don't always go over well]
No, he's not a raven, don't worry! Or an even actual bird. He's just a guy named Crow. He's a great friend, but sometimes something of a mooch.
no subject
[Julian settles down, finally, and August just shakes his head as they follow Elliot.]
Sorry about that. He's just being melodramatic. It's a raven thing, I'm pretty sure.
