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.

[Rose can’t help but sigh as the other girl speaks. Her excuse isn’t good enough to be made up—-nobody would willingly say any of that unless it was the truth.]

I suppose it wouldn’t hurt if I take you along for the day. But I’m warning you—-it’s absolutely uninteresting.

[She shakes her head. Why her?]

Tell me, how little do you know exactly?

[Ris sighs as well, before closing her eyes (eye?) and responding flatly.]

It was hard to keep track, but I know my time spent outside of the laboratory did not even reach 72 hours. Most of that time was spent in alleyways panicking and trying to avoid detection.

[She reopens her eye to look back at Rose.]

Make of that what you will.

[Rose finds her frown deepening. So the actual answer is 'no experience at all.' Perfect.]

Try to stay close to me, then. We can start by getting something to eat.

[higanbana]

[Bingo!

Ris nods, stepping closer to Rose.]

Understood.

[...]

Since we are engaging in this... shall we say, training together. [Which is mortifying, but here she is, and beggars can't be choosers.] I should probably have a name by which to call you.
