[closed] ad astra abyssosque

Who: The Genshin Cast
Status: Closed
Where: Eltrut, Alhaitham & Kaveh's house
What: The people of Teyvat get together for a barbeque... with some ostentatious paperwork on the side.
Warnings: Potential NSFW from the gays. I cannot say which ones.



Though they may be on another world, all the people who hail from Teyvat are no stranger to what the Fatui represent, and what their presence might mean here. But things are never so black and white, and while tensions had been divisive between certain people for a while in the wake of Lyney and Fremniet's confession about their true allegiances following the arrival of The Knave, today is the day to put that animosity to rest—temporarily, that is, for as long as they are all stuck in this place none of them were prepared for.

After some discussion between Alhaitham and Kaveh it was best agreed to do this whole business here, since they have the best space for it and it is, in Kaveh's words, a show of their own generosity. Alhaitham doesn't fully agree with that idea, but there is also no denying that their own place will be best in terms of privacy. In the end, its not as if anyone here desires to disclose everything about their home world to the greater public that exists here.

The details of this arrangement have been sent to Lyney via Kaveh, while Alhaitham contacts Dehya to fill her in on the details; a get-together, or the closest they well get to one, with all the people from Teyvat present, where Alhaitham (representing Sumeru) and the Knave (representing the Fatui) will sign a contract that stipulates a truce between them. Of course, the document itself has no real power given where they are (not that it would matter either way, since the Geo Archon has already passed), but it is the gesture of doing this that will bind this agreement.

The day itself arrives with little fanfare, and as each person arrives they'll see that... not much has been done to the house, really. It's tidied up from Alhaitham's usual clutter, but there are still many interesting objects about such as a turtle ottoman, a pink and pastel green jellyfish stool, a somewhat tasteful(?) banana chair, a carving that looks like a very misshapen Aranara and of course, the ever present fish statue next to its cousin and... offspring(?). Their cat Shadowlily can be found lurking about the house and is pretty open to all visitors, cat and human alike. The doors to both bedrooms as well as the study are ostensibly locked, for reasons that will not be explained but everyone will know without saying anything.

Out in the yard is where the actual barbequing is held, with a set of portable tables and chairs set up in the yard for people to eat outside if they wish to do so. If one looks close enough there is a single garden gnome that looks like it has seen better days at this point, though placed in the corner as a poor attempt to hide it. The garden itself is blossoming with somewhat larger than normal flora and fauna, many of which are recognizable to be from Sumeru, such as harra fruit and zaytun peaches. One of the plots also happens to be full of catnip, which Shadowlily is all too happy and willing to enjoy herself in, be it by herself or with a companion.

All in all, things are fairly relaxed and quaint. But it doesn't change the fact that on some level, something rather monumental will happen between all the people here during this potential once in a lifetime event.

I haven't read it either. But we can at least do everything we can to diffuse any tensions with newcomers before someone tries to take matters into their own hands. We don't all have to get along, but things will be easier if we at least stop fighting amongst ourselves. There are worse things to deal with around here as it is.

That'll be harder to sell the longer we're here. [Because while it may seem like newbies are fired up, remaining runs the risk of getting comfortable in a way that they decide they need to change the status quo here.] To anyone who's less willing to play nice, I mean.

And those will be the people we have to keep an eye on. As the witnesses to the signing of this truce, it'll fall to us help enforce its terms when necessary.

[Dehya groans, pressing her palm to her forehead. It's bad enough when she's just shaking down clients for payments, and now she's gonna have the same responsibility here.]

Hopefully it never comes up.

[He chuckles softly, shaking his head.]

Let's keep our fingers crossed, shall we? May things here work out for the best.
