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!

Maybe it's enough to accept that she just wants the solidarity.]
...Ris. I would say meeting you is a pleasure, but I think that requires better circumstance.
[She goes to put her Vision back where she normally keeps it, which means turning her good eye away from Jinx. It would normally bother her, but right now...]
I guess I am. I have been trying to study you lot, figure out how I might build some sort of foundation for myself, but none of you make it very easy, you know that?
[She looks back up at Jinx, with the barest hint of a smile.]
I suppose we all have our baggage.
...You may take a seat, if you would like to stay a while.

I don't think any of us are easy to read. I felt... really out of sorts too, when I arrived. I don't think I willingly approached anyone for a week. But hey, look at you, talking about things out loud! Doing better than I was.
( it's a joke, but also... not. jinx was terribly reclusive, even when she finally let herself exist around others. and being able to admit that you were struggling with things was still impressive, no? )
no subject
[She offers more of a smile, now.]
I appreciate the support. For me... [She looks down.] Back where I was before, I had to hide everything. It was made very clear that if even a small drop of what went on made it out to the public, the consequences to me would be swift and severe.
But here... I am no longer beholden to that man. I can say whatever I want and he can no longer hurt me. In a way... talking about it feels the most freeing of all.
no subject
( but the conversation moves to something a little more serious, and jinx frowns slightly- it's not like home, but she's used to control and fear. at least ris is free here. )
You're not, no. And like, if you wanna get out of town for a bit and just yell? I totally get that. ... I had to do something like that about my previous guardian.
( magic and the like is more open, back home- on some level, anyways. but she gets the feeling that that isn't quite what ris is talking about. )
INFINITELY LATE I'M SORRY do not feel obligated to reply
I know that I could just ask one of you, but I also know how absurd it has to sound. The idea is mortifying, really. And asking Master Forneus is out of the question. Our whole purpose being here is free will, after all.
[She sighs, but then smiles at Jinx again.]
Ehehe... I appreciate it. I cannot say that yelling is something I am any good at, though.
[Even her normal speaking tone is pretty quiet. It's probably a bit hard to imagine her seriously raising her voice.]
no subject
AND YET AGAIN /trips off wagon and rolls into ditch
Oh! I would love to! I am usually wide awake by that point, anyway.
[Habit, and all.]
Do you go out to get breakfast, or do you cook for yourself? I... am not the best cook, but I can at least follow a recipe.
[...She just hopes any recipe Jinx would give her would have actual flavor, unlike the things she had to prepare back where she came from.]

( ris is in for a treat because jinx is great in the kitchen, actually. )
