.: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?

AND SO IT BEGINS.
Meng Yao is all smiles, though it's a cautiously hopeful one, and his eyes seem to reflect the golden color that is seen across the city like a blanket of unforgiving brightness.
The town is abuzz, talking about how great it is that the Sunshot Campaign has just come to an end, thanks to two heroes. He tells his two companions with a hint of bashfulness that he's one of those two heroes, though he seems to wonder what kind of title he will be bestowed with. He doesn't say that when he had arrived in Yogen, he's never heard them or his father give him one yet.
He is sure when he returns home—truly home—he'll know. Or maybe, he'll find out here.
Meng Yao has, ever since his arrival here, been wearing what he was after he took off of his disguise, and his companions look like they stand out like a sore thumb. Though he intends to procure some outfits for them at the very least (likely through shady means.)
Either way the people are too happy right now to care what they look like.
However, even though Meng Yao makes his way to Koi Tower and tells them to 'wait outside', he doesn't get too far. The guards, the cultivators, and even Jin Guangshan himself—though he does not deign to see him—do not recognize him as Lianfang-zun and so he finds himself back with the others.
It's better than what happened the last time he attempted to claim his rightful place...they just simply seem to think he's crazy. Funny how they treat who they suspect have lost their marbles different from bastards.
It also hurts that his mother is also not even recalled as a existing memory for the Sect Leader who slept around, for she seems to truly not exist in this world.
In the end, he hides the fact that he's sulking, but he manages to get his companions time to stay at a reputable inn and some clothing if they care for it at some point.
He also lets them know at some point he would like to show the two some basics, especially since they're in a familiar world, so showing them how to utilize talismans will be easier.
With all of that aside, how will his fellow companions fair in this city? Only time will tell.
((Ooc note: This functions as a separate top level to give some information about the current time. There's no need to tag into this one, though it can be used to interact with MY even though I plan to tag into whatever top levels you guys feel like putting up!))
