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.
Please direct all questions to October's OOC post!

[Rose summons a quick gust of wind around her and Jun before drawing her weapon. The wind acts as a shield, allowing the both of them to move faster and take an additional hit.]
[She takes aim at the samurai, but once she pulls the trigger, the bullet is immediately deflected by the Samurai’s sword.]
Bloody hell.
no subject
And great. A swordsmen that can block bullets. Well, only one way to take care of that]
I'll distract him. Shoot when there's an opening.
[With that, he darts for the swordsman, making a battle cry while raising his own sword for an attack - forcing the other to parry ]
no subject
[Rose waits until the swordsman is “otherwise engaged” with Jun to shoot. When she does, it’s not a precise shot, but it’s close enough.]
[There’s not much power in the shot itself——certainly not enough to down the swordsman—-but it does bring the ghostly samurai to his knees. Here’s an opening of your own, Jun.]
no subject
Fortunately, Rose manages to shoot fast enough so he doesn't get much more than a little ruffled from a kick. As it falls to its knees, Jun jumps back and swings immediately - lopping off its head. The energy then dissipates- causing the air to become less dense than before
Jun lower his blade before dismissing it, sensing the danger passing]
Nice shot.
no subject
[Rose looks around them. The air certainly does feel much lighter here. As if fighting the samurai cleansed the area of its negative energy.]
[If nothing else, at least, Rose is grateful she had Jun here with her. It probably wouldn't have gone as smoothly with anyone else, and it certainly wouldn't have gone as smoothly if she was on her own.]
Is there anything else we need to do?
no subject
No, not here. This place has been purified. It's just a matter of finding the other seals and repeating the process.
no subject
[She shakes her head.]
Well, it certainly doesn't sound like it'll be hard, at least. Should we take a break before the next shrine?
no subject
Yes, so it seems. [He looks back at the Thunder Sakura] It's a rather clever system, really. Instead of warding off negative energy like many breeds of spirit trees, it seems the Thunder Sakura draws it into itself. So by placing them in strategic spots around the island, they'll draw negative energy away population centers and reduce the risk of rogue Eclipse incidents...
[Rose has heard him talk about anime enough times to know exactly what this ramble is: He's geeking and will keep going if you don't stop him.]
