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.

Yyyyyyyeeeeesssss?

[ Is anyone here really normal? ]

It's snappy. I like it.

[They are just a group of misfits tbh.]

Well, I can't argue with that. And you are a ferryman of souls, in a sense.

[Bringing their souls from one world to another, so it does fit. Also God of Death could go hand in hand with God of Time...]

Though how many names are you gonna have at this rate?

As many as the worlds I've been in.

[ Can he talk normally? Also no. ]

Most of these names are titles or aliases, though.

[That gets a long, drawn out "Huuuuuuh" from Ana - adjusting so that she can tuck her hands into the sleeves of her kimono as she thinks. At least she made the effort to blend in, despite the black wings...]

Isn't that a pain to keep track off...

[But maybe he has an amazing memory. That wouldn't surprise her.]

What's your actual name, then?

Before I tell you my name, you need to bear in mind that the people of my race name themselves. We don't have name names like Ben or Aerith. We name ourselves after a thing, a concept, or an adjective that describes us best.

[ He folds his arms, looking oddly proud of himself. ]

My name, translated to your language, would be Voyager.

[Ana nods as she listens - that way of naming does make sense, especially for an incredibly old race like his. But now she knows his actual name... Voyager, huh? Considering what he does, that sounds very appropriate.]

Voyager... That sounds too cool of a name for you.

[Not that it will stop her from being a shit.]

[ Forneus chuckles. ]

It's what I choose to represent. The meaning of my endless existence, to stop me from being bored enough to contemplate suicide.

C'mon, don't say shit like that.

[Now she'll just reach over and gently (very gently, she doesn't want to pull off his head in the middle of the street) tugs on one of the long strands of hair. Though she's highly aware it's a valid concern - both for him and her partner - and a possible future for her as she lives on long past the lifetime of mortals...

But that's not a conversation for now. Maybe it's something she can seek him out for advice on later.]

Maybe I'll call you "Voy". That sounds cute.

[ When she pulls on his hair, there is a faint but unmistakable sound of a deflated rubber chicken. ]

Is it? I've got no objections.

[Lol what the fuck???

Tugs on his hair again for extra measure. Just to make sure. That's all.]

Voy~ Voy-Voy!

[Pause after she just... does a test run, then she nods - seemingly pleased with herself.]

Yes, it's sufficiently cute. You're now Voy!

[ deflated chicken noise ]

And you'll explain this to anyone who asks, yes?

[Hehehe. And now that she's been thoroughly amused, she finally lets go of his hair.]

Hmmm, maybe? I mean, it's me we're talking about, they'll probably think I'm just messing with you.

[At least she's very aware of her chaotic reputation...]

Good, good.

[ Is he enjoying this??? ]

[IS HE???? Ana squints at him a little, then scoffs with an amused smirk.]

What, you'll accept letting the others see me messing with our all-powerful benefactor?

There's nothing wrong with a little harmless fun. Plus, I'm not all-powerful. There are some things that even I can't do.

I dunno, some people would argue me throwing you around isn't "harmless fun".

[But she also thinks those people would be boring, so - ]

Though, that's true. But you can still do a lot of weird shit, like that stunt you pulled at the beach.

[The bouncing, the rolling or going underwater? Probably all of the above.]

At least it's fun weird shit.

[ Extremely weird behaviour for a god, but then again, he was never a normal god, was he? ]

There's no need to skimp on amusing things. At least, that's my philosophy.

[Now she just laughs again, flashing a wry grin at Forneus... Or "Voy", at this moment.]

True! If you've got the power to do something fun, then why not?

[Even if Ana's idea of fun is picking fights sometimes...]

That's the spirit. You don't live forever, you know.

[ It's hard to tell if he's being serious or not. ]
