.:An Adventure to Remember:.
Who: Meng Yao, Subaru Akehoshi, Rantarou Amami
What: Some basic lessons are happening in the background, but some (mis?)adventures as well. Surely nothing will go wrong in a wonderful place such as this? Other than MY growing premature grey hairs. Either way, it's Exchange Program time, bby.
Where: Lanling Proper, and Koi Tower.
When: October 11th - October 17th.
Warnings: Potential death which will happen regardless and/or violence. Disturbing themes may be mentioned because JGS exists and golden end Lanling is still questionable. Just happier.
WELCOME TO LANLING—
The city is home to what is currently the largest cultivation sect around. It is prosperous and filled with many smiling faces. There are children who run through the streets, shop owners showing their wears, and people frequenting the establishments—inns, restaurants, you name it.
At the heart of the city is an important compound, Koi Tower. It seems to unfold before anyone who comes near it majestically, starting with the stairs and ending with the peerless infrastructure. It's terrific state is more than can be described in mere words, needless to say.
There are various gardens here or there, filled with a majority of the sect's symbol and flower—Sparks-Admist-Snow white peonies.
There is also one lotus pond located on the premises, but that is located somewhere towards the inner families' lodgings, and anyone passing through had better be someone who is part of the Jin Sect or a servant lest they wish to get into trouble.
As expected there is a magnificent reception area, a banquet hall, and another more extraordinary garden that houses a painting well done by a cultivator of renown. Said cultivator can be found around the city at certain points.
On the flipside, there are cultivators who are rather stuck up, though that goes the same for a good amount of the residents. Though the Sect Leader, Jin Guangshan is rather insufferable even if he is unfortunately talented at conducting himself with grace. Then there is Jin Zixun, who is neither graceful nor talented, but far more easy to encounter.
There is also, of course, the Treasure Vault. Another place that is actually guarded periodically though there are some dips in security due to the overconfidence the people have here.
Though even in this idyllic setting, there are places of ill repute if someone were to go looking around. Such as where others would sell weapons or other...things that are illegal or frowned down upon supposedly in Lanling. Hidden deep within the forest nearby that is essentially also part of Lanling, there is even a strange training ground that has been sectioned off by members of the Jin Sect. Going further where that is concerned is something that should be avoided lest anyone would want to experience a rather trying time, putting it very lightly. At the very least they'll shoo any wanderers away as long as they don't cause trouble or try to truly sneak in.
This is a city of golden times. But it doesn't mean that is the case for those outside of it or not caught within its golden age.
But whatever the case, their ends will be the same. Though, before that, shouldn't they enjoy their time while they still can?

I'm holdin' you to that, Ama-chan. Maimai won't be able to stop us then.
[like meng yao's not there,
anyway he'll be a good boy and collect coins too, prancing here and there and wherever he pleases... some of the stupid rich people stuff too, he's decided he loves these the best because they're so dumb and useless especially just sitting in a vault. like goblets and junk? and little figurines...]
What's the point of keeping golden cups and stuff in here? I think I'd just use 'em every day and show 'em off like that instead... They're like a buncha dragons.
no subject
I wouldn't stop you then, no. But...it might put me at ease if I were there to be able to patch either of you up in the event it's necessary.
[ If they decide to do it later, anyway. ]
I suppose it's just something to remind themselves of how rich they are while some people out there in the world are starving. It makes them feel better about their own position.
[ These are things Meng Yao would normally not have the confidence to say, but...no one from the cultivation world is with them right now, and when they head back, that will remain true. ]
no subject
( because, yeah, it makes them feel better. scooping up a little worthless golden trinket of his own, amami turns it over in his hand. )
It's too bad. Gold can be kinda tacky if there's too much of it, don't you think? Or maybe that's just me.
( but he'll shrug, tossing this one back into the pile. it's kind of unwieldy, doesn't have very many gems inlaid, and doesn't seem like it'd fetch quite as high of a price on the black market or, well, wherever they're disposing of these things later on. but yeah, people are always people, so it's no surprise that there will always be some who put their own wealth and greed before others' wellbeing. either way, he'll shake his head with a bit of a laugh as he continues checking out their options to bring back. )
Pretty strict for a maybe though, aren't you — we'll see.
( how his ribs are looking, he means, because while he's not about to bring them up here and now of all places, he'll probably need to check on how well they're healing before he lets subaru properly snap them with some damn polearm of his. but without lingering on that, )
