Light pollution and honking cars are far from what I would consider natural. It's fine, I assure you.

Besides, I already chased a bear off for this territory, giving it up that quick is just...

[Eugh. His pride can't take that.]

[twofoldfury]

Exactly.

[And his recorded tale shares as many errors as it does accolades. At least in his opinion. But the vibe check machine is telling him to call little attention to it. Also the self loathing but mostly the Vibe Checker 3000.]

You're among the long lived or immortal residents of Kaisou, then? Yours isn't a name I've heard before this, but there are so many people here it would be impossible to know everyone.

[unless your name is zulius or jun nightroad.]

[scourgingstars]

I am. I've been with the Order since...oh, I truly can't remember. A few centuries, surely. Perhaps being around for so long leads one to fade into the background a bit.

[twofoldfury]

[You ever just feel a smile behind a tone that's ready to drop the most condescending slight or call-out you've heard all week? It's like Ardyn is made out of that.]

I would attribute it more to my dealings with the Order being limited to very few people before this point, not to mention a proper introduction isn't feasible in the midst of a battle assuming you were part of them.

[in his defense ask him how long he took to know miss march's name.]

[scourgingstars]

I was here and there, yes. I thought it necessary to take a measure of vengeance on my former superiors, after they elected to...as the modern parlance goes, 'fuck around and find out'.

[twofoldfury]

[Hmm.]

Is that the only reason you took action?

[scourgingstars]

Hm...you know, I hadn't thought much about it, what with the revenge compulsion making the decision for me. I suppose it's obvious in hindsight that administration was rather on the way out, so to speak. I would have had to pick a side sooner or later, and I'm quite in favor of 'whichever side doesn't permanently imprison their inconveniences and dirty little secrets'.

[twofoldfury]

[Ah, shit, here we go again.]

I'll certainly agree with that. Those imprisoned unjustly or corruption thought to be buried will always find its way to the surface in the end. That much has been more than proven.

[if only your vibes were not deemed by the council as rancid. but even a rancid man had the right to freedom unless proven guilty. and even if so, they had the right to atone.]

[scourgingstars]

Oh, don't I know it.

[Absolutely dripping with something that was either sarcasm, thinly veiled malice, or both.]

I couldn't very well stand for that, so I suppose they were bound to aggravate me enough to take action eventually.

[lowestclass]

she's taking it to deliver it now
sorry for the inconvenience, ayato, it truly slipped my mind.

[ knowing his luck, he'd drop it down a sewer grate on his way to Yggdrasil... ]

[kanka]

I wouldn't beat yourself up about it too much, otouto-kun. As you've said, much has happened. At least this will make for a hilarious memory down the line.

[TEE-FUCKING-HEE-HEE. You're stuck with him now.]

[lowestclass]

[ omg did he just call him otouto-kun? jinwoo is having a small mental flail here, is
is he just being teased, or... ]

A funny memory down the line...

Haha...

Please don't bring it up at an embarrassing time...

...Hyeong ...

UN: BLACK ORDER | ENCRYPTED | TEXT | 11/15

[kaisoumods]

[As the chaos of the city begins to wind down, the phone will give a unique bell sound, and it will ring until they check their messages:

Looks like headquarters has sent out a new message:]

Take a slow pace,
You've earned some grace.
The day has been saved.
But there are still foes need to be braved.

Dragonspine
Such a steep incline
Investigate the cold if you feel bold
Just watch out for the boars.

[OOC: This is your mission for both November and December (aka you can move at your own pace!)! Black Order players can choose how they'd like to go about exploring Dragonspine Mountain]

Dragonspine??

[ duke using italicized letters and two question marks--the man is aghast, clearly. ]

While I won't claim to have ever gone there for any length of time given my livelihood, but you'd be a real shut-in if you've never heard that name before.

That's a mountain, from my world. And if there's any sort of truth to the stories and books I've read and heard over the years, tales tell that it's a dangerous place where plenty met their end.

If something like that shows up, be it here or a gate...

I'm going to warn heavy caution. And if you go, make sure you bring something that'll create fire.

Last thing I want to see are my new friends turned into ice statues.

un: tonics

[medicines]

[ Well shit. ]

In that case, I may need to insist I accompany any excursions onto this mountain. The last thing we need is anyone getting seriously hurt or worse up there.

And I'm also able to conjure and control fire, so I'll be able to make sure nobody freezes at the very least.

[Huh. Weird, wasn't Xie Lian's username Lian600? Must be imagining things.]

I have some experience with unnaturally cold mountains, though it was from a past life. However, I'm willing to provide what aid I can to any teams going up the mountain.

That being said, Wriothesley, is there anything you can tell us about the wildlife we might find on Dragonspine? I would assume that perhaps not all of it is as it was in your home world, but an understanding would be best. Or is there possibly someone more familiar with it that we can ask for intel?

[qilinzuo]

hell yeah
see you guys around

[ Childe is going to disappear at some point to go to Dragonspine. Maybe there will be an incoming log for this later, who knows. ]

un: tonics

[medicines]

[ Boy. ]

Wait wait wait

Don't just go up there alone that's dangerous!!!!

[ HavingFunAtDragonspine.png has been attached.

There is a blurry image of what might be Childe and snowy colors. Too hard to tell.

Can you not be reckless for five minutes?

[medicines]

[ WHY YOU LITTLE-

IT'S ON SIGHT WHEN SHE GETS UP THERE ]

[loupmorque]

Fire manipulation is a great skill to have up there, I'd think. Back home I'm pretty sure people with Pyro visions were best equipped, so you're basically right in line for perfect to have around.

I am adjusted to the cold myself, given my element is ice, but. That's a... that's a different KIND of cold up there...

not quite here

[twofoldfury]

[no he's kinda cooking tbh]

[loupmorque]

[ sir why did your name numbers change he has concerns, mr xie lian please explain ]

Dress warm. And bring something to drink, too. Hiking up mountains without proper hydration, regardless of how cold it is, is also dangerous.

As I mentioned, I can't really claim to know what's up there by experience, but one of the books I've read mentioned there being a rare type of boar that's only on dragonspine. Maybe that's what this post is talking about, too? Wild boars are dangerous and will charge you unprovoked--their tusks can do a lot more damage than you'd expect.

And then regardless of where you go in Teyvat, there's always the risk of Hilichurls and their ilk.
There's also tales of giant Cryo-Aspected ones, so it wouldn't be unusual to think one might be up there, too.
