October Mingle
Welcome to Teyvat - a vast magical world of adventure.
The Miko of the Grand Narukami Shrine has arranged for your passage out of Ritou and into the Inazuma islands at large. The nation has been gripped by an oppressive atmosphere ever since the enactment of the Vision Hunt Decree, and only someone unyoked by the Electro Archon can hope to break this stalemate.

Konda Village sits on the outskirts of Inazuma city. A pillar of its community now seeks to move out after losing his Vision. A samurai employed by the Shogunate is being accosted of hiding rations by his neighbours, and he has no recollection of ever dealing in such matters. Forgetting something seems to be the thread that links every former Vision holder's story together, yet their tragedies differ greatly in circumstance. Is the loss of a Vision truly so profound? If so, then why did the gods deliver such a poisoned gift to their people?

A mysterious priestess approaches you with a sincere request - Kazari seeks your aid in purifying the Thunder Sakura around Inazuma, as well as the Sacred Sakura on Mount Yougou. She tells you that these trees absorb the evil from the very land, but cannot dispel it without outside intervention. Here's where you come in: you need to dispel the sealing sigils around the holy trees, so that the filth accumulated within their roots can take form and then be swiftly cut down.

The seals, the trees, and Kazari herself are relics from the olden days - the mystical Inazuma, where kitsune and tengu lived and worked alongside humans and their god. But those days have since ended, and all that is left is a stifling eternity.

State of the World

The Land of Eternity is not without failings. By pursuing 'Eternity' and closing the doors of her nation, the Raiden Shogun has only made the lives of her people more difficult. Exploring the country may give you some clues as to how you can break her enforced stasis. You must first understand the situation of the nation, and then find the natives who also wish to change their world.

[The laugh definitely throws her, but then "Nana" continues on and... oh.

So this person feels the same way she does! They're just going about it a different way. Ris can understand that. She's personally pretty much done with playing nice if she doesn't have to, but she can understand why that wouldn't apply to everyone.

And she understands even more when they elaborate that they're just here for the money. That, too, makes sense to Ris. No sane person would do anything without getting some sort of kickback for it.

It's enough to actually get her to relax just a little, a tiny smile gracing her lips.]

...While you appear like this. So you can appear differently? [She gives "Nana" another once-over, this time actually analyzing "her" appearance.] ...that will be a fun game, I think. To see if I can spot any tells.

I have nothing to hide, from these people or anyone else. As such: my name is Ris.

It is a pleasure to be working alongside you, "Mistress Nana."

[evilisnotatoy]

[That gets a bit of a smile.]

A pleasure to work with you too, Miss Ris. It's good to see someone taking that initiative on their own.

...But please, call me "Miss" or "Blademaster" Nana if you must use titles. "Mistress" is too close to the title reserved for the head of my clan, and I don't wish to disrespect him like that.

[higanbana]

[She cuts in, all too quickly, and a bit sharp:]

Just "Ris," if you please.

[But, as for the request:]

I can accept that. "Blademaster" is a wonderfully terrifying title, anyway.

[evilisnotatoy]

[He studies Ris for another moment, then nods and smiles.]

You're an odd girl. You'll fit in well with the rest of us, I think. Welcome to the team, Ris.

[higanbana]

Ehehe. I have been called much worse.

But thank you. I do believe I will like it here.
