.: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?

amami 1
and amami is quite the adventurous person.
so they're naturally checking out the ins and outs of the city, because it's fun and out of the way of people subaru otherwise has an issue with for looking down on him (jin zixun his detested), when
they come upon a wooden box. it appears just to be a plain wooden box, not too large, something that's easy to carry and hide if needed. but it's got sort of a surprising heft to it when subaru lifts it, tilting his head curiously...]
What d'you think's inside? Gold bars?
no subject
What do you say we take a look?
( which is just what you do when you find a mysterious box that doesn't belong to you on the street, and not at all an excuse to snoop. )
If it's something that's been lost, it'd probably help find the owner if we know what's in it.
( because looking left, looking right, the small alleyway they're tucked away in, somewhere between the main streets that are lined with merchants and stalls, is out of the way enough that it doesn't look like others pass by here all too frequently. it's hard to say if this is where it's supposed to be, or if the owner is gonna be able to find the winding path they took to come across it again. they're just being good samaritans, y'know? )
no subject
[because it's finders keepers rules, clearly. he did this about some sports equipment too, though he doesn't think they'll be finding mitts and balls in here... maybe it really is gold bars. what do gold bars weigh. he doesn't know, but his imagination wants there to be gold bars.]
Let's see...
[it's a pretty sturdy little thing... definitely meant to be hard to get into in that wooden box sort of way, but luckily they do have these little knives. so subaru'll carefully try and work it open... he doesn't want to nick the bars...!!!
...
...
... these aren't bars of gold. subaru doesn't know what they are, because i'm going to make you decide, enh, but they are not bars of gold and are definitely something two teenage boys shouldn't have possession of,
though it's debatable they they have much a choice when there's some footsteps heading back their way]
no subject
which is clear to amami pretty much as soon as he looks inside it — some thin papers, price tag stickers not unlike the ones that meng yao had stuck to amami a handful of times before. those, he'd normally assume, are pretty safe, except... tucked alongside the stack, there's this small collection of vials — salmon-pink powders, some dried herbs, and a handful of liquids and pastes that range from milky-white to deep wine-red. finally, two small cloth bags, pulled shut by their drawstrings. because he's a totally normal person, with totally normal experiences, who jumps only to totally normal conclusions, he's immediately just like: )
Oh, looks like a poisoning kit.
( it could just as easily be medicine or something else, but amami is like this, so he just understands. that said... for all those footsteps, which side are they... coming from... amami is still peering into the box with absent interest, y'know? almost like he doesn't realize there's someone coming. maybe he'll reach in to grab one of those little drawstring pouches — he wants to see what's in them. )
no subject
the footsteps seem to be coming from more into the alleyway, going by the way subaru looks up, and he tilts his head a bit at the other's lack of realization... or maybe he's playing it cool, like this is theirs and they just need to fake it 'til they make it. maybe he should do that too--
but there's more than one man, and none of the three seem particularly pleased to have found two boys pouring over their poisoning kit. subaru'll touch amami's side, hello.]
I think they might be the owners.
[which amami might not be able to hear too well, since he's being quiet as is, and very much bracing himself as they plaster nice smiles on their faces and prepare to either make a deal or deal with the two]
