WHO: Yixuan & you!
WHERE: Libra & Geminin networks
WHEN: Roughly an hour or so after Varka's post
WHAT: It is time for formal introductions!
WARNINGS: None for now

[ unlike her colleague's post Yixuan is not posted up in an nice comfy office, in fact she isn't indoors at all. those eye eagle eyes will notice the Kami State Park in the background (has the city gained a new rooftop cryptid?) as a few dromas slowly follow what looks like a distant shimmering speck that is flying about their heads. as she begins to speak the speck seems to flit towards her rapidly, growing bigger and bigger and─ wait that isn't that big at all. the shimmering black and gold bird lands on her shoulder and hops briefly, eyes staring at the camera. ]

I believe it is about time I also introduced myself. I am Yixuan a senior Guardian of the Black Order and a Grandmaster of Yunkui Summit.

For those unaware, Yunkui Summit is an order dedicated to dealing with problems of the mystical, spiritual, and the ordinary. We train extensively in cultivation arts to better help those who come to us with problems they find themselves unable to solve. Naturally Kaisou's closeness to Spirit Realm makes it an alluring target for such problems. Our current High Preceptor believes it is high time to reach out a helping hand to the good people of Kaisou and as such has sent me.

[ the bird tilts it's head disappearing underneath Yixuan hair for a moment before reappearing on her opposite shoulder. ]

It is a stroke of luck that the Black Order also felt sending me to the city would be beneficial. So, here I am. If you have any questions I will be happy to answer them.

WHO: Anaxa and anyone else awake to witness this
WHERE: Zodiac
WHEN: approx. 4:30 in the morning, mid-March
WHAT: the professor is doing science
WARNINGS: he’s eating dirt does that count

[ Professor Anaxa does not, in any way, realize that he’s broadcasting his late-night science experiments to the network. He likely intended to record this session for the purposes of referring back to it later, as one must when conducting such vital research as this.

Since growing accustomed to the city, and its now-native dromas population, he’s begun to worry about their health. Are they eating properly? Is the soil around them providing all of the nutrients that they need to flourish? Is the young calf among the herd getting what she needs to build the necessary muscultition, spiracuity, and charisplendor to grow into a fine young adult? Anaxa has decided that he simply must find out. Which leads him and any of his (un)fortunate bystanders to this:

Anaxagoras is taste-testing the dirt.

It’s the obvious route forward, he believes. He’s collected clean, untouched samples of soil from several areas around the park where the dromas herd has taken residence. On the surface, each one seems fine enough—one of them even takes a similar red hue to the redsoil they would so happily eat in Amphoreus. But the only way to know if it’s really what they need is to cross-check and compare it to what he recalls of his notes studying the stuff back home—which is quite a lot, thank you, his memory is fantastically keen. And indeed, he’s written several pages already over a few samples that have already been set to the side. And… spilled on the floor. It’s fine. He’ll get to it. Eventually.

At present, he’s testing a bit of one of his smaller samples of red soil (not to be confused with redsoil, of course), his pen gripped tightly in one hand as he stirs up the loose dirt with the other. It may not be glamourous work. His hands may be stained several different colors already. But he is determined to see it through. ]

The texture is much akin to loose clay… though there are prominent notes of iron as well. But it’s… missing something. But what…?
