[Open] August Catch-All
Who: Chongyun and YOU
Which: Open Log
Where: Around Reverein, The Wild Harvest, the Beach
What: Helping out with wind-caused damages, beach zoology surveys, and a pure-yang spiral caused by some spicy food
Warnings: Energetic, spontaneous teen on the loose in the pub, watch out!
Watch the Wind!
[The winds sure have been strong lately. So strong, in fact, that Chongyun would assume that the Anemo Archon himself was passing through Reverein. But with all the added windstorms, there’s bound to be damage, and when Chongyun hears that people need help dealing with the damage caused by the winds, he’s more than willing to help out where he can.]
[He’s not a carpenter by trade, so he isn’t the best at building repair, but he can help carry away broken bits of wood or help return animals back to their pastures. Anyone who works with him will find that he is quite a hard worker, and when he pauses for a break, he takes a moment to wipe the sweat from his brow.]
At least the winds help to keep us cool while we work.
[Although, as he says that, a particularly strong breeze blows by. He brings his arm up to shield his face, before turning to who he’s working with.]
Be careful. The winds are really strong today.
Coastal Zoology Survey
[New creatures are very exciting to discover, especially the strange and wonderful beings here in Reverein. And with a whole new ocean to explore, Chongyun will definitely come along to help take details about these new creatures. He does have experience with this; his family owns a Field Guide which has been used to record information on all kinds of monsters and evil spirits in Liyue, so he understands to an extent what sort of things should go in a field guide.]
[However, despite his experience with field guides, those who work with him will definitely find that Chongyun asks questions that… aren’t exactly ecological.]
Do you think this sort of creature may have any abilities that may affect humans, such as an aura of some sorts? Or perhaps can commune with spirits? They are dream-borne creatures, so would they be closer to a living beings like us, or a dream spirit? I wonder how they would react to thaumaturgy, or other such exorcism techniques… Not to say I would use such techniques on these creatures, but I wonder just how physical they are…
[Those who end up teaming up with him may soon realize that he might not be the best person to bring on this survey.]
Spicy Food Challenge..? - Part A
[The Wild Harvest is not a place that Chongyun frequents, but he has come across others who work there and have tried a few of their samples here and there. And since he heard that they were serving foods that he was somewhat familiar with, Chongyun decided to go and give them a try as an actual customer. He wasn’t fully aware of the Spicy Food Challenge, but even if he was he doesn’t intend to enter it, not with his condition. Instead, he places an order of regular, non-spicy ramen, even asking for a few ice cubes so he can help cool it down to a temperature that’s safe for him to eat.]
[It was an innocent mistake, really; his order getting mixed up with one of the spicy specials the pub was serving. He should have noticed the red tint to the broth as a sign of the mishap before he took his first bite. But once he took that first bite, his eyes widen, and he realizes the mistake just as the corners of his vision go blurry.]
[For those who just casually observe him, his eyes go wide as sweat builds on his brow. He goes stock-still, and even trembles a bit, almost worryingly so at first. But then, all of a sudden, he shakes his head and stands up on his chair, puffing out his chest with a wide grin on his face.]
Hey, everyone!! Order whatever you want!! Everything’s on me tonight!!
[Does he even have the money to cover such an outlandish claim?? Probably not, but he doesn’t really care right now. And then, he leaps off his chair and onto the floor, and begins to approach the first person he sees with a wide grin.]
The food here’s great, huh?? Oh, what’s that?? I’ve never had it before!! Lemme try some!!
[And that’s kind of how he goes around; chatting up practically everyone he sees, sampling foods impulsively, and overall just getting into everyone’s business. If he hears a particularly catchy song, he will definitely go and dance to it. If he hears raucous laughter or gets challenged to a dare, he will go in and participate. Having a conversation? He'll probably jump in and act like you're an old friend of his. He’s just acting like an excitable, energetic teen right now, which is very out of the norm for those who know him. Be careful what silly requests you suggest around him, because he will definitely go through with it given his current state!]
[[OoC: For this prompt, Chongyun will be in a pure-yang state, meaning he is much more spontaneous, rowdy, and energetic than normal. He’s not dangerous, destructive, or violent in this state, but he is very impulsive and will probably very much do that ridiculous dare that is suggested to him. Feel free to either try to help him calm down, or egg him on! And feel free to shoot me a message if you wanna ask for anything specific!]]
Spicy Food Challenge..? - Part B
[The next day, Chongyun wakes up with a pounding headache and a nauseous feeling much like a hangover. Chongyun has no concrete memory of what happened the night prior, but he knows the feeling of the aftermath of a yang-spirit spiral all too well. And he can only imagine with great mortification just what kind of ruckus he caused.]
[He’ll return to the Wild Harvest Inn once he’s feeling a little more human, and bows deeply to the workers there once he arrives.]
Please forgive my abhorrent and buffoonish behaviour last night. If there is anything I can do to repair any damages, please let me know.
[Even if he’s told there’s no need to repay anything, Chongyun will still probably be lingering around The Wild Harvest, looking for any sort of work he can do to help out.]

I am so sorry in advance for this nonsense LOL
Ah! Miss Susato!
[He hops down from the chair and goes up to her, grasping her hand like she were an old friend. His palms are sweaty and his skin feels warm, but he doesn't seem to mind.]
It's been so long!! How's business been?? Do you have more of those cookies you were sampling?? I'd love some more!! Or, or, what would you recommend?? There's so many new foods here I've never heard of, I can't wait to try them all!!
[He says all of this fairly quickly, almost all in one breath, too.]
DON'T BE this is beautiful fdjkhas
Alastor, play Despacito. Does Chongyun even know what he's done? Susato is eying the wet mess with a sadness in her eyes, the noodles from the ramen sprawled all over the ground like clumps of curly hair. No time to dwell on that though. Chongyun is grabbing her hands within moments.That sure was a lot of words. It's not like she noticed any alcohol bottles, broken or otherwise. ]
Y... Yes? [ GET IT TOGETHER, SUSATO ] Y, Yes! I, I would be happy to bring you anything you wish, but please. Allow me to clean up first.
A, Are you feeling quite alright? [ He wasn't like this when he placed his order! ]
no subject
[Is he serious?? It's hard to tell right now. But he's positively buzzing with how excited he seems, to the point where tiny sparkles of light pop and crackle around him as his dreamotion magic bursts with his positivity.]
Oh, wait, you need to clean?
[He pauses, blinking as he looks down and... oh! Who knocked over their ramen?? What a mess! He stares for a moment, before he turns to Susato.]
That's okay! Here, let me help you! Where's your broom??
[And he just... starts walking off to the reception area. Because that's where brooms are kept, right?? Right!]
no subject
. . . She feels kind of bad about it, so her grips loosens slightly. Sometimes it's hard being the "stop having fun, guys" gal. ]
I... I will take care of everything. [ This is a job for a mop, besides. ] Until then, I will need you to have a seat. Please.
no subject
Woah, you have a really strong grip! Like, really strong. Have you ever used a sword before? I bet you could make a good sword wielder if you wanted!
no subject
[ If her grip merely loosened before, she lets go completely now, which may end up being a mistake. She hadn't meant to grab quite that hard, but at least she got him to stop. For now. ]
I've been practicing with wooden ones? [ Could he really tell? No, she has to concentrate, she's working...! ]
Sorry about the delay! Had a convention and some RL stuff happen /o/
[He perks up, as if getting an idea.]
I bet you'll be a great sword wielder one day!! Oh, let me get my claymore! Have you ever used one? You can try using one now!
no worries! i've honestly had a rough week so sorry for slowness on my end too :' )
[ She has NO idea where he thinks he's going, nor has she heard of a claymore. Instinct takes over and she's pressing her hands to his chest to push him back. ]
. . . Um, well, maybe later. [ She doesn't feel comfortable leaving him like this, so she's just going to keep him engaged and otherwise distracted while she tries to clean up. She attempts to inch her way behind the counter where she at least has some supplies. At the very least, some gloves, maybe some washable cloths, paper towels. Something, until she can get hold of that mop. ]
I didn't you were a swordsman.
Oh no, no worries! Hope things get a little better for you! <3
You're a lot of fun, Miss Susato!
[But at her curiosity, he perks up.]
Of course! Exorcism uses thaumaturgy and martial arts! And I'm from one of the best exorcism clans in all of Liyue! So of course I'd train daily to keep up with their fame!
thanks! ALSO CRIES i accidentally a word in that last tag but you know what i meant
[ What does she know about exorcism? Admittedly, not much. She knows even less about them in the context of Liyue or his clan, so she can't say much. In the back of her mind, however, she envisions a cleansing ceremony of sorts.
Cleansing... right.
She slips on those cleaning gloves and peers up from behind the counter, making her way back towards Chongyun and the mess. ]
I, I see. That's very... [ How does she put this even? She bends down, scooping up the worst of the ramen spillage back into the bowl. It's heading straight for the trash. ] admirable. I'm sure they must be proud.
/o/
[He says it with a beaming grin and another chuckle that sparks more dreamotion sparkles around him. Suddenly, he gasps and perks up, eyes wide as he slams a hand on the nearby table.]
I know!! I'll show you some of my skills!!
no subject
Oh! Yes! Um... [ THINK QUICKLY, SUSATO ] Allow me to finish, and you can show me... outside!
[ Keep him from doing further damage while hopefully getting some answers, maybe! ]
no subject
Right! Come on, let's go!
[And despite her still having the bowl in hand, he tugs on her hand and pulls her with him. To the outside!!]
1/2
When I'm done!
no subject
Um... I will meet you out there.
no subject
Miss Susato... are you alright? You seem very tense!
no subject
...Well, no matter. Susato's mood evens out quickly, and she regards Chongyun with an innocent curiosity as she continues to clean up after him. ]
I could ask the same of you. I've never seen you act like this... [ As if trying to figure him out, she adds: ] I didn't see you drinking at the bar with Miss Tifa.
