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.

[ Forneus' office seems to be a recreation of a 21st century home. Which is weird considering that Teyvat is stuck in the medieval ages. The window panes, while present, all look out to an expanse of pure white. ]

Hello, Crow. Did you need me for something?

[bad_crowmance]

Yeah, I wanted to have a chat about something. Namely, money.

[stellafortunamods]

Oh? What about it?

GMail betrayed me and didn't tell me about this tag

[bad_crowmance]

We~ell, we haven't really talked about how much I'm getting paid while I'm here.

[stellafortunamods]

If you could draw up an itemized bill, I could certainly pay you. And mention what currency you want as well.

[bad_crowmance]

Local currency's good for now, although when we're able to head back home I'd want it exchanged for mira of course. As for the itemized bill.... got a pen and paper to write with?

[stellafortunamods]

Yeah, right over there.

[ Somehow there's a desk with writing instruments next to the wall behind Crow which definitely wasn't there before. ]

[bad_crowmance]

[ Crow glances over. That definitely wasn't there before, but when in the purview of gods you've got to realize when it's not worth questioning things. Crow takes the instruments and writes out a simple enough bill:

3,000 mora/hour
Retroactive from the date of arrival
To be paid every day
1 to 1 exchange ratio (mora to mira) upon conclusion of terms of service
Price re-negotiable as needed by both parties

He slides the paper over to Forneus when he's done. ]

Sound reasonable to you?

[stellafortunamods]

It's fine by me... but am I to calculate only the hours where you are conscious?

[ He only took one glance at the paper. It's not even itemized in detail... not like Jun or Sooga's, anyway. ]

[bad_crowmance]

[ Crow could've gone in more detail honestly, but he's more interested in keeping it simple. ]

Nope. We're going 24/7 here. Unless you have any objections, of course.

[stellafortunamods]

I don't. I do expect you to not betray me even when you're asleep, though.

[ He goes over to a wall cupboard and produces a very large bag of mora. ]

Here's the amount already incurred. Try not to spend it all at once.

[bad_crowmance]

Of course, that's only reasonable.

[ He's going to tuck that bag away in his inventory. ]

Haha, unless there's a casino in Inazuma that won't be a problem. Oh, but there is one more thing— any chance I can negotiate similar terms for Rean Schwarzer and Elliot Craig? Unless they already have something else in place, of course.

[stellafortunamods]

Indeed you could negotiate it, but I prefer that they come and talk to me in person regarding any arrangement they require. Your concern for your friends is appreciated.

[ Something something contract specificity something... ]

[bad_crowmance]

[ Crow nods, not really looking surprised at that. ]

I figured it might be something like that. But if they come over to talk and they accept anything lower than that price range, I'd like to know so I can kick their asses. The terms are between you guys and I won't ask you to change any agreements, but a guy's gotta look out for his pals.

[stellafortunamods]

I'll keep you updated.

[ After all, Forneus tries to be a good employer. ]

[bad_crowmance]

[ He grins and gives Forneus a wink. ]

I appreciate it. It's been a pleasure doing business with you~!
