Uranami Onsen's nerds at the Suiren's Tanabata festival yesterday. Highlights of the evening:
R'thipra Tia adjusts the settings on his magitek earplugs. Y'know. Just in case. Keimo SorataBalmung: YAAAAAAAAS! <3)) (thank you for the gift unbrella btw ♥) S'buroh Ikato blinked slowly........ S'buroh Ikato: I'm fucking dying omg xD] Toshi KatsuBalmung: "This is beautiful." C'elah Valisthea looks as Malachai starts crying Osric Lanaven moved the bunny back down.. and then he just.. covered the poor fuzzy creature's ears. Suki Kotaro: "PERFECTION!" Kuro MiiGoblin claps but is very confused. Melodie Linea just kind of.... stares for a moment, trying not to laugh but.. claps....? C'elah Valisthea blinked "what was that?" Deormund BlackeCoeurl: "...I never thought I'd see th' day I'd prefer me mammets singin'..."
Some of the many emotions brought by Yuu singing LA HEE at the festival. From joy, to fear to denial. I love you all, those reactions are what I live for lol

  With the Lunar New Year upon us, how better to celebrate than with a festival? And who better than to show us how to properly put on a festival than the Namazu!? Our fishy friends have carved themselves out a home on the Steppe in honor to the Big One, in order to save themselves from certain destruction!
  Following in their finsteps those of us at Wasshoi Entertainment, and the West Koshu Trading Company wish to present Hydaelyn with a festival of our own in their honor!
  We graciously invite you all to join us for an evening of celebration, festivities, performances! All we ask in return is to enjoy your time with us, and please mind the Namazu; fish are friends, not food.

Byakujutsu 2021.05.24
Caius had waited for those of KOSHU to leave before making his way back to his motorcycle, carefully removing as much soil as he could from the atractylodes they came to gather. The plants were then cut at the base, the stem and leaves discarded as the roots were shoved in a bag and into a side compartment on his bike. He then rode all the way to the Ruby Sea, paying passage across the water to the port city of Kugane. He had his contacts in the region, making his frequent travels less of a headache; a Pure-blood Garlean was never welcomed otherwise, defected or not.
He didn’t waste time once he was back at his clinic, drying the roots efficiently [thank you magiteknology] as he prepared the rest of the components. It took the remainder of the day and well into the night for the medicine to be completed, in the form of a finely grounded powder, and divided into individual doses. The first doses were sent to the Uranami Onsen to be distributed to anyone afflicted with the Haimushi yokai, while the rest were given to agents of Hagane-kai to be distributed in the city under the guise of ‘Miracle cure’ merchants.
It’s only when his part was done that the doctor allowed himself some rest, but not before receiving the visit of the syndicate’s wakagashira. As the door of the clinic opened to let in a lone Hyur in black garb, Caius simply motioned to the empty chair in front of his desk. “I only have black tea to offer and it’s getting cold.” The doctor stated, pointing at the nearly empty teapot resting beside a few open books. “Black tea at this hour?” The visitor - Katsuro - mused as he took the offered seat. His crimson gaze rested on the man before him. “Sleep would be a far better option. But then again… I know you. You won’t rest until you know everything is in motion.” The Garlean snorted as he lowered his cup to rest on the desk. “And I dare hope that’s why you’re here. I did my part but the distribution is in other's hands.” Sitting back, he leaned into his chair while a hand rose to massage the bridge of his nose. “I’m getting too old for this. Or to deal with your… friends? For lack of a better word, really. I know you don’t consider them friends per say. You don’t let people ‘in’ that easily.” The sharp blue-gray gaze of the doctor shifted to Katsuro as his hand fell down into his lap. Katsuro had to smirk at that. “Our agents are already moving out to distribute the medicine so you can sleep easy tonight. And you know why I’m dealing with them. We’ve forged a good alliance, a reliable link between the east and the west. I will not be the cause of such a partnership breaking.” “It’s more than that, however.” Caius replied. His tone of voice betrayed how tired he was but his gaze was as sharp as ever. “They’ve removed themselves from the yakuza but you still treat them as such. The only difference is that there’s no one ‘above’ you within KOSHU anymore, not in a yakuza sense. Yet you watch over them, as a father over his children. Otherwise, I have no clue why you’d even tolerate them.” An amused smile appeared on his lips. He was right of course, and Katsuro shook his head in defeat. “If you’re too old then I can at least tell you, you never lost your sense of observation, Thanos. I think… I’ve been through enough shit alongside them to at least feel a sense of kinship. When they were still linked to the yakuza, Dusk-sama asked me to watch over them and that’s a sense of duty I am unable to shake off. They are, of course, annoying, childish, scatterbrained, inexperienced, poorly trained, bothersome and irritating but… I’ll watch over them regardless.” Thanos couldn’t help but chuckle a bit. “You said ‘annoying’ three times. And though I share in the sentiment, at least they managed to get the job done. Their hearts are at the right place, their brains well… let’s not go into that.” He added, clearly jesting. “Do know, however, that if this second ‘job’ becomes too much, we can place another liaison in your stead within KOSHU. Yuu is already quite invested with them, even if he’s only a kyodai. Tamashi could also take on that mantle, despite being Hagane’s favorite agent.” Katsuro shook his head again. “Iie, I’ll be fine. I’ve worked my way up their hierarchic ladder and it’s a trust I won’t betray. Besides, I don’t spend that much time at the onsen. I have my own work here. As long as Lord Hagane can ‘save’ me when I’m asked to sell fucking kites and other nonsenses, all will be as it should be in the damn universe.” The doctor stifled a laugh. “I’ll also keep that in mind. I’m his senior adviser after all. Well then, not to be rude but I find keeping my eyes open to be more difficult by the minute. Not even an entire pot of tea could stir wakefulness in me at this point.” That being said, Thanos pushed himself up, stretching some to at least relieve some of the soreness of so many hours of work. He grabbed his coat from the back of his chair and put it on. It was rare to see the doctor with a tie undone and his sleeves unbuttoned and rolled up. But here he was, exactly like that, even his impeccable hair seemed a bit ruffled. Thus Katsuro quickly pushed himself up as well, ready to leave the clinic. “Get
some rest, my friend. And thank you.” Katsuro replied, his tone more gentle. “I’ll make sure your hard work bears fruits. Give me a sun and I’ll get back to you with a full report on the distribution and efficacy of the medicine in the city.” “A sun I’ll spend sleeping, I recon.” Caius chuckled as Katsuro left his office. The doctor followed suit, flipping the lights off and locking the door behind him, leaving the clinic in silence, aside from the low humming of some magitek devices set on standby mode.

Nearing the Breaking Point
A big pink bubble wasn’t something that was normal to this district of the Mists. Sure, there were other Mist houses that had weird magitek stuff going on that he didn’t quite understand (a new research topic, hmm?), but he was pretty sure that a giant pink bubble wasn’t something that was likely to be created by magitek.
Which means it was magical – ancient magical - in nature. He wouldn’t be able to tell what school of magic from here, but it was unlikely to be Mhachi – they practically had an allergy to anything bright and colorful. Regardless of the history of it…The Uranami Onsen folks had something that could generate a barrier like that stored away, hmm? He knew the Uranami folks were strange. The clientele always came in with weapons, which wasn’t too irregular, but the attendants, too? Shit, some of them looked like they were entering the building to fight a war, not serve drinks and sit in baths!
This warranted an investigation, of course. Reports were being made daily in HQ on the Uranami Situation, but they weren’t…enough. They were too formulaic. Rigid.
Boring.
Which is why he was out here now, investigating the bubble. His Maelstrom private third class outfit earned him a few glances from the citizens who were brave enough to go near the very obvious bubble warning sign. Well, it was either bravery or stupidity, and he was leaning toward the latter because ever since he became part of the Maelstrom, he’d been smacked in the face that most people were so stupid.
Anyway. The bubble.
Aside from a Roegadyn woman coming in to flamethrower the thing a few days prior, nothing had had seemed to change from the initial report. Still big, still pink, still glittery. It was bound to have some type of change soon, given what it was, and he wanted to be there for it. After all, it wasn’t often you got to witness this kind of magic in action, and this was a hostile takeover situation. But the fishfolk running around screaming riot and getting drunk off their asses likely wouldn’t have set up and maintained the bubble for this long, so the question was who set it up and why?
Who would brave disturbing the midge’s nest of armed Uranami workers tempered by being in the customer service industry?
He wanted to meet them.
Ah, but here was something interesting! From his hideout, he saw it: the purple-haired Miqo’te that’d occasionally come up in the reports. The dry, formal language said that the man had, on multiple occasions, approached the bubble, walked the perimeter, and scared off any fishfolk that looked at him before teleporting away. Once or twice, he’d even taken up his Eastern spear and looked ready to try to pop the bubble. As if he could!
It was noted he was one of those Uranami workers, one of the few to return to the site of the scene after the bubble had been activated. Asking around the establishment’s regulars told the Maelstrom his name was R’thipra, and that he was normally a very polite, gentlemanly host. He wasn’t management, just staff, and a fairly new one at that. So why was he here?
No one else was stationed to watch the bubble at this time (he’d made sure of it), and the streets were free of citizens. He wouldn’t get a better chance.
“Hello there? You, with the spear! Can I talk with ya for a minute?”
The man named R’thipra halted his agitated pacing in front of the bubble, whipping around to face him with weapon pointed at him. Even from such a distance away, he could see the snarl etched on his face, the tension in his frame.
Interesting.
A stressed person is likely to attack at shadows. Time to step out of them, then. Pushing himself to his feet with his staff, he left the safety and security of his hideout and raised his hands into the air. “W-Woah there! Lower your weapon, please! I’m not here to arrest ya, I just wanna figure out what’s goin’ on here.”
The man didn’t move an ilm.
He was really going to make it hard on him, huh? Fine. Stowing the staff on his back and keeping his hands in the air, he slowly took a step forward. “I’m with the Maelstrom, ser!” Another step. “We’ve been monitorin’ the situation since it started.” Step. “Any information ya can present would be greatly appreciated!”
Step by step, he made his way closer to R’thipra and the bubble. The man didn’t reciprocate, staying right where he was with his weapon at the ready. When he was fifteen fulms away, though –
“Don’t come any closer,” the man snarled. He stopped in his tracks.
He was, to put it plainly, a wreck. Stress lines marring his skin, breathing too quick, mismatched eyes just a tad to bright for comfort. He was shaking like he was about to seize up, with a white-knuckled grip on his weapon that he was sure would result in arthritis later on in life. Yet, in spite of his wrecked appearance, his hair was in perfect order, without a single strand out of place, and his clothes were in perfect condition with nary a wrinkle.
Do you care about your appearance or not, kid? Pick one and stick with it.
He wisely kept that last thought out of his voice when he spoke next. “Can ya tell me what’s goin’ on here?”
R’thipra licked his chapped lips, drawing in a raspy breath. “That pompous piece of shit and pathetic excuse of a man fucking incited a riot, took over the Onsen, and is keeping Rheya hostage in a place with worthless, perverted, traitorous Namazu. And no one’s doing a damned thing but watching it all happen.”
The Maelstrom private raised an eyebrow. Well, all of that rang true to what he’d been seeing, if he considered that Roegadyn woman’s actions from before not doing anything to resolve the situation. His notepad and quill were in his hands before he’d even thought about them, scrawling the Miqo’te’s words down, minus the…embellishment. “What’s the man’s name?”
“Tristan. Management treats him like some sort of untouchable saint that has all the justification in the world for all of this.” R’thipra’s chest heaved. “’You’re being emotional, Kotaro-san’? Fuck off with that. They’re the ones being emotional by not doing anything! So what if he’s Dusk’s and Oswin’s family? Family doesn’t matter when you’re inciting violence and holding people hostage!”
Tristan, hmm? If the man was still around after all of this, he’d very much like to talk with him. He’d have to beat R’thipra to him – talking to a pile of meat wasn’t very entertaining, after all. “Have ya talked with yer fellow Uranami workers about yer feelings on this?”
“Suki’s been voicing my thoughts, and she’s been trashed for them. They want to wait. Rheya’s already been in there for three days now. It’s past time for waiting.”
“And Rheya is…?”
“My girlfriend.”
Ah, love. What a boring reason. Too predictable, and the fires sparked from it are short-lived. “So…what’s yer plan? You’ve been spotted around here. Yer in our reports as investigatin’ the bubble. Don’t tell me yer gonna try to break in by yerself?”
The withering glare that R’thipra shot him gave him pause. Was it just him seeing things, or did the Miqo’te’s eyes tinged red? “I’ve got to do something.”
“That bubble’s not going down with a few swings of that lance, I’m afraid.”
The Miqo’te’s grip tightened on his lance, eyes narrowing. “I’ve got some…wild power, apparently, according to one of the people that should be doing something about this. Strength and rage that goes beyond mortal limits. If that can’t break through it, what can?”
A flamethrower, apparently. Unfortunately, he couldn’t speak much on whatever power the man was talking about. “Even if ya could get through the bubble, it’d just be destroyin’ it. Yer just gonna cause an explosion and kill everyone inside. Ancient magic like that isn’t something to be trifled with.”
“Rheya’ll live.”
Deep breaths, private. “Ye said she’s bein’ held hostage in the buildin’, right? She’s not gonna be able to defend herself from a point-blank blast.”
“She’ll live.”
“How?”
“I just know it. She’ll live.”
Why was he speaking with such conviction? The Miqo’te may be full of rage and not making the most logical sense here, but that doesn’t mean he should be blind to the consequence of an explosion killing everyone inside the building. Was he too far gone?
Or…was there something about this Rheya person that would really allow her to survive an explosion, defenseless as she was? Another person to talk to once this was all over.
“…Regardless, I think ya should really be talkin’ with yer Uranami crew about this, ser. They may be makin’ a plan without ya. All of ya need to be in communication during this delicate time.”
“There’s been nothing but meaningless chatter on our linkshell. They’re concerned about not having enough tea.”
“Tea is important to Easterners, yes.”
If he’d been a lesser man, R’thipra’s palpable seething would’ve turned him to ashes in an instant. However immune he may be to glares, he wasn’t immune to a lance to the heart, so he quickly backtracked with hands raised. “A-Anyway! Thanks to your information, I can submit a detailed report to my commandin’ officer and get ye some help.”
He could practically hear the man’s teeth grinding to nubs. Whatever the conclusion of this whole debacle was, he’d really need a vacation. “Get on it quick. Every minute this continues, the more trouble I’m having holding myself back from breaking down the barrier and slaughtering all of them.”
“W-Will do!” He snapped a salute, and off he went. He ignored his hideout for now – he’d revealed it to the Miqo’te by coming out to speak with him, and he wanted privacy. It took him some time and stealth, but eventually he climbed his way on top of a nearby house and watched the man from behind the chimney.
R’thipra still hadn’t put away his lance, and was once again pacing a trench in front of the bubble. His shoulders were hiked up to his chin, and he looked about ready to tear out that pristine hair of his. As the Maelstrom private was adding all of this to his notes, the man briefly disappeared on another perimeter check of the bubble, returning without a single drop of Namazu blood on his blade. And then, with a snarl even he could hear from this far away, R’thipra teleported away in a flash of blue.
Now that the threat of the bubble’s explosion was gone for now, he breathed a quiet sigh, reviewed his notes…
And stuffed them in the pocket reserved for his personal notes. No way was he reporting this.
A grin lit up on his face, pearly teeth blinding against dark skin and red hair.
This was going to get very interesting.
