[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.]

Wildcard
[Got something you’d like to try out? Feel free to write up a starter, or PM me here or at [plurk.com profile] pocketnoivern to plot something!]

Spicy A

[Aether has never witnessed Chongyun's pure-yang state before. He's only heard stories from Xiangling, Xinyan or Xingqiu, but it never sounded too bad. Which is why he wasn't worried when he offered to Chongyun, that maybe he should try to embrace that other side of himself.

It seems this time the traveler can finally see what is it like when his exorcist friend is bursting with energy. Aether blinks at first, seeing Chongyun loudly declaring that everyone can eat as much as they like because he'd pay for it, then he proceeds to friendly chat with some people and try their food.

...Goodness.

And yet, Aether can't help but laugh lightly. As chaotic as the other got, he still doesn't mean any harm. The traveler approaches him, waving to his friend.]


Hey, I see that you're having a lot of fun... Did you make any new friends?

[The energy that Chongyun has right now really would be difficult to rival. Aether smiles bright at him.]

I got to try some, yes. Would you like to try more of it with me?

[It really is a rare occasion, considering how often Chongyun would prefer to eat alone once the food is completely cold. But now they can enjoy the meal together without any worries, right?]

[He's a bit surprised when his hand is tugged on like this, but Aether quickly gives him a warm smile, following eagerly.]

I've heard they had some selection of spicy food here...

[Could it be...?]

...Is that would got you in the current state?
