All right. Thank you. [ And I'm sorry I can't manage to get even this right. ]

[ She'll go back out to look around -- settling on the offering area, and those she recognizes, the idols. Wait, why are they in charge of this? Let's find out. ]

Re: Yujing Terrance

[leaveofabsence]

[ When she touches Pentium, he turns to dust and then dissipates in the wind.

In fact, all of the idols do - now that the Traveler's Gate has been destroyed. ]

Re: Yujing Terrance

[sangreine]

[ Startled, she jumps back. She really is only good for destroying stuff, fabulous. ]

[ Sighing, she looks around again, seeing if there's anything that stands out that would be out of place. How would she know? Maybe the secure area... why would a ceremony have that? If it gets dicey, she'll just get out of there. ]

Yujing Terrance: The Mileleth

[leaveofabsence]

Stationed near the offerings from the Rite of Descension, you see a massive dragon and an avante (Cardinal) garbed in military uniform within their shadow.

Normally the two would banter at you, but Nyx is messing around with another part of the world at the moment and the dragon looks like he is glitching in and out of existence, while Cardinal looks on as if nothing weird is occurring.

Re: Yujing Terrance: The Mileleth

[sangreine]

[ Well finally, something that looks decidedly wrong. Thanks Nyx! ]

[ What the hell to do with it, is the question. Trying to touch the flickering dragon seems like such a bad idea, but she's fed up enough to give it a shot. ]

Re: Yujing Terrance: The Mileleth

[unbr8kable]

[Also heya]

[Talking to my graduated teammate tho]

Re: Yujing Terrance: The Mileleth

[sangreine]

[ Glancing at Nemesis, but her expression is flat; she assumes this is another trick or something, and she's in sort of a Mood, thanks blood incense. ]

Re: Yujing Terrance: The Mileleth

[unbr8kable]

[TBF she was pretty sure idols were supposed to be gone now?? How even,]

Re: Yujing Terrance: The Mileleth

[sangreine]

[ A sad glance at Nemesis, she's feeling strangely sentimental for reasons she can't decipher.. stupid blood smell. ]

At least you're looking at me this time.

Re: Yujing Terrance: The Mileleth

[unbr8kable]

...Imaginary or not, you're pretty hard to ignore.

Re: Yujing Terrance: The Mileleth

[sangreine]

-- And you know me. Well, third time pays for all... did you sign a contract to help fix this place up?

[ Please say yes so she can first hug you and second get some help with shoving this dragon around. ]

Re: Yujing Terrance: The Mileleth

[leaveofabsence]

[ The dragon tries to buck Alizarin off but to no avail, she's too strong.

So when she does make contact she'll be able to see with her magic, the cavern that Nyx is currently retreating from and the sigils on the ground representing the half-formed seal.

If only she could find a way to get the dragon all the way there ]

Re: Yujing Terrance: The Mileleth

[sangreine]

[ Her eyes flare bright red as the dragon tries to move, but she holds fast. At least something about her is working right, even if it is pointless -- wait a second. ]

[ Is it evident visually whether shoving the dragon in the direction of the seal is possible or is she seeing the cavern like it's far off? ]

Re: Yujing Terrance: The Mileleth

[leaveofabsence]

[ The cavern definitely seems far off. But it looks like with her strength plus vision, it seems she might be able to push it there.

Though that might also end up with her stuck with the dragon in the cavern.

Decisions.

Decisions. ]

Re: Yujing Terrance: The Mileleth

[sangreine]

[ After making a vague plan with the (evidently real) Nemesis, Aliza steps up to give the dragon a good, hard shove toward where her odd vision was showing her to send it, putting all the strength she's been allows to bring into this little escapade to bear. (STR 7) ]

Re: Yujing Terrance: The Mileleth

[leaveofabsence]

The dragon roars and digs its claws into the stone beneath it, but you manage to push through anyway - one hard press of the shoulder sending him spiraling onto the platform.

Congratulations, you have shoved Azhdaha into his resting place beneath the tree and with a speed of 5 you also dodge the attempt to pull him in with you.

Re: Yujing Terrance: The Mileleth

[crossmyheartandhope]

[Probably coming in for the tail end of this, too]

What was all that...?

Re: Yujing Terrance: The Mileleth

[sangreine]

[ What, you never saw a vampire shove a dragon across spacetime before? ]

[ shrugging ] It's what I'm good for. [ This isn't angst talking, she's quite matter of fact. ]

Re: Yujing Terrance: The Mileleth

[unbr8kable]

[Cardinal doesn't even go here anymore,]

What're you doing here?

[ELM 7 if necessary]

Re: Yujing Terrance: The Mileleth

[leaveofabsence]

[ They sure did not disappear when the other idols did, huh? That's weird. ]

Zhongli invited me to Liyue to see the Rite of Descension. Why wouldn't I be here?

[ And Cardinal is 100% out of place. Nemesis's Vision is lighting up like a spotlight ]

Re: Yujing Terrance: The Mileleth

[unbr8kable]

You graduated. Like--yesterday. How'd you get back here?

Re: Yujing Terrance: The Mileleth

[leaveofabsence]

Back here?

[ They furrow their brows ]

What are you talking about, Nemesis?

Re: Yujing Terrance: The Mileleth

[unbr8kable]

We're in Tokyo-F--we're in Zhongli's head. You left me--

[Wait]

--You ain't here no more. So you can't be in here. You ain't real.

Re: Yujing Terrance: The Mileleth

[leaveofabsence]

Nemesis, what are you saying? What do you mean I'm not real?

Re: Yujing Terrance: The Mileleth

[unbr8kable]

I mean exactly that. You ain't really here--you shouldn't be here. And now you gotta go, so we can make sure the old man's back to normal.

[Electricity crackles from her fingers before she sends out a small bolt--ELM 7 to either stop them or make them leave]
