out of options for who i can be

LIGHT UP THE FIREWORKS

Lazuli seems… agitated, this morning. Not so much in the sense that he’s irritable (because that's just normal, really), but it seems as if something has gotten under his skin. He keeps looking up, out the windows or out over the horizon, and it seems eventually he grows tired of whatever it is bothering him. He accosts whoever it is that seems to have little to do this day, gathering a group of competent (...?) wizards.

“I need you to come with me,” he says, arms crossed and a furrow between his brows. “Something’s not right, even more than things usually aren't right.”

Vague, but do you really have the option to ignore him? You can certainly try, but it won’t get you anywhere. You’re being dragged onto this impromptu excursion whether you want to go or not. Lazuli drags the group to the elevator, using a mana stone to transport everyone to the Northern tower. On the other side is the same snowy wasteland that’s always there, and nothing seems amiss no matter how hard you strain your senses. Lazuli seems to get even more tense, though, summoning and mounting his broom.

“Follow me. We can talk while we fly, but we don’t have long.”

OOC NOTES

🌙 Welcome to the mini-event! This isn't going to be anything too crazy and not likely to impact the trajectory of the game too terribly if you spend the entire thing just fucking around and finding out, so just have fun! If you play your cards right, though, you might find yourselves a new ally.

[ Well, there is something like a smile on his face when he sees him perk up there. Definitely good if the newcomer can be in good spirits.

And look at those ears wiggling... ]

We will be happy to have you, G'raha.

[ Jing Yuan wonders if he should present that book, so he begins to take it out. So, maybe the guy can recognize it on sight? He makes also makes a gesture towards the way they came back... ]

I haven't heard of such a place at all, as expected. I suppose that makes it less likely you're related to a Foxian...

[erythropoiesis]

[Oh! He does seem to brighten up even more at the sight of the book, reaching out to take it from Jing Yuan.]

Where did you find this?

[Oh, but, he's saying something else.]

A Foxion? I'm afraid I've not heard of such species... I'm a Miqo'te—though some are more familiar with the term "Mystel" for them?

[foresightis2020]

[ Jing Yuan will let him take the book, because look. It'd be rude to keep it away. ]

It was in the settlement, on one of the benches. I don't suppose you also happen to be a writer of history books, do you?

[ A light jest, but onto the other subject...he unsurprisingly recognizes neither one of the other terms. ]

A Foxian is a species from the Xianzhou Alliance; they have ears and a tail, quite like yours. But, there is a difference in fluffiness. [ Is this important...yes, yes, it is. ] ...I've heard of neither two you've mentioned, though. However, I can't say I'm all that surprised.

More of a student of history, you could say. This is an account by Count Edmont de Fortemps...

[Which is someone Jing Yuan has no way of knowing, so it doesn't really add much, does it?]

He saw the end of a war that had plagued his people for a millennia, so it's a very precious memoir.

[Anyways!]

It may come as no surprise I've not heard of the Xianzhou Alliance, than. [said with a small laugh] It seems you are no stranger to the oddities of different stars, then.

[foresightis2020]

[ Jing Yuan has no idea who the heckie this guy is, so it tracks... ]

I see. So you're essentially a fan of him.

[ That's fine, there are history afficionados everywhere. He will begin to make his way to a direction that is Out of Here. Time to Leave. ]

...But no, not at all. You can say that travelling them is a commonality for me.

Though that also applies to everyone from the Xianzhou Alliance as well.

[Chokes—]

Ah, well, I'm sure Count Fortemps is a good man, though I've never met him, but he wrote a good bit about the Warrior of Light and his actions in the war—

[Help him...]
