MAY MINGLE
May Mingle: Entombed City
Welcome to Teyvat - a vast magical world of adventure.
Everyone's hard work resulted in the gate to upper Dragonspine opening. These ruins have not been traversed in years, if not centuries - everything within has been lost to time and living memory. An entire city has been buried in the snow.
People once lived there. The broken buildings host damaged furniture and weathered streets. There are various cloth-covered mounds in a house here and there, accompanied by a sprig of blue flowers. Someone has laid these people to rest after they passed away.
Traces of technology can be found in the city - golden boxes that contain crystals capable of recording and playing back holograms. One of the boxes introduces this place as Vindagnyr; a land once full of greenery and life. Just what happened to these people? What caused the eternal winter?
The highest point in the city is occupied by a temple built into a Domain. Within the Domain is a pale white tree, split in half by a strange object that has fallen through the Domain's ceiling. This temple was once a site for worship for Vindagnyr's people, and even in death they continue to pray for salvation. The priests have been frozen in ice, and the sheer cold emanating from the Skyfrost Nail makes it obvious that it is the cause of winter.The city's inhabitants worshipped Celestia. Why then were they left to die?
State of the World
On October 1st, the entombed city of Vindagnyr becomes open for exploration. Travelers can choose to look for clues or try to scavenge the city for ancient materials or tools. Recording boxes all around the city tell stories of Vindagnyr's greener past, and of the days when winter suddenly arrived. This is the cruelty of Celestia that Forneus wished you to see.
For all questions regarding May's mingle and events, please head over to our OOC post.

[She takes a long pause before responding, giving Jun a look that can best be described as "What did you just say?" It boggles the mind. Truly.]
I do hope that you were testing your luck, as luck is the only way you'd be left alive after such an encounter.

[That's vague and cryptic. He's tempted to leave it as that, and were it someone else- he might just do that. But he did trust Rose, and she did help him. So it's probably best to be a little more forthcoming]
...A certain power of mine returned. It's useful, but it could make me a target for Celestia. Forneus says he'll try to cloak it as best as he can, but it's still a risk if I'm not careful.
So I requested him to put a seal on me to restrain the use of that power to help with concealment, and I asked for a spar to test the strength of the seal.
[So...there was a reason!!]

For all the reasons to fight gods, that’s certainly a compelling one. It wouldn’t be good if you were attacked.
[Not that she cares or anything.]
But in the future, let us know in advance. One of us can stay on hand.
no subject
[You care Rose. But ok sass aside, he can see the reasoning and also knows not to push it too far.]
Understood. If I do it again, I'll let you know.
no subject
[Why can't everyone be as practical as you, Jun? Disregard that she's going to ignore that first comment. She is in the habit of fighting gods, and it's brought her great personal harm.]
Tell me, has the pain abated?
no subject
[Well, that is some lesson I guess.
He pauses, assessing himself for any pain before nodding]
Yes. I feel much better. Thank you Rose.
