cune digging is my god given right

Who: wei wuxian and you!
When: through june.
Where: in the city.
What: quests & june catch-all.
Warnings: stupidity, body horror if you so choose.

a. flowers and the city;

( first thing's first in order to start his day off, wei wuxian already knows how to properly flirt — before he died and transmigrated into his new body.. he was the ideal. so it's not like he lost any of that cute charm of his right? so what does he decide to do to make this go smoothly? well, he's put together a little booth outside of the tenth cafe he's asked of the manager that found wuxian endearing enough to accept. it took a bit of flirting but sometimes, one has to strut their stuff.

so here he is, using a table from the cafe and set up in front; a jar sitting next to him and a sign he's painted himself above his head with:

300 CUNES A KISS ON THE LIPS! ❤
200 CUNES A KISS ON THE HAND! ❤
honestly, cute advertisement if he does say so himself so with that, the cultivator winks at his first target. there's a smile on his features, his best attempts at feeling inviting which he isn't up to anything bad! ) Who do we have here, would you like to try?

a01. flowers and the city; optional!

( if you return later in the night, wei wuxian will still be in this same spot though a little different than before. what's noticeable is the lotus flower resting in his hair. why is it there? maybe for the cute factor for extra kisses! does it persuade you? any of you? well, he's not too sure how he got this problem either but hey! 300 cunes for a free infection, can you even go wrong with that? )

✔ — ( ooc: so in this one (1) prompt, wwx has been affected by ehrendil, which happens to be a sickness binghe and kyun infected him with; which he isn't aware. so you can pay money for a KISS and a DISEASE. really! a two for one? really cheap! symptoms may include but are not limited to: itchiness where plant life begins to sprout, flora sprouting from the skin, increased desire for sunlight, extreme thirst, the gradual spread of flora to internal structures, including the lungs, and emitting a sweet scent irresistible to bees and butterflies. )

b. flowers and the city;

( this quest doesn't sound so hard, something about getting money and wei wuxian has never been against some funds. now it's what can he do to make this perfect, wandering around the entertainment district to learn what people do for fun. there's various activities but nothing speaks to him until his eyes fall upon a few people singing together; catching the attention of various people and that is good enough. he snaps his fingers, pleased before looking for a corner that's hardly preoccupied by anyone with the same idea and enough strangers that maybe he'll get the attention of someone.

he pauses, posting himself up and using a bucket he's found to sit next to him and a sign hung from it saying "if you like, you like! please pay me for good efforts!", at least he's going his best. it'd be a nice past time because he likes doing this anyway so there's no skin off his bones as he pulls a bamboo flute out from his sleeve, giving it a look over before thinking on what melody to play. he watches the people walk back and forth, minding their business and decides to speak up for a moment. ) Sisters! Brothers! Yes, yes you! Listen to me play! If you like it, won't you show your gratitude? If you dislike, I understand but I'll do my best! So listen, listen! ( which he hopes someone is willing to hear him out, so he presses his back against the wall of a building he's standing in front of; sliding down as he brings his flute to his lips. he blows air into the instrument to begin playing a melody that he's learned back home. )

c. flowers and the city;

( he's not lost, no way, but he's following his donkey around in hopes to make it listen to him. it may be a little embarrassing to people who don't know him, but wei wuxian has never been able to make this creature do what he asks. people say that animals have a mind of their own, do what they want without caring what their partners say and it's true about li'l apple. ) Stop that! You'll get lost if you don't stick with me! Li'l Apple..! Li'l Appppllleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!

( is the donkey listening? well no. but the creature decides to handle this problem of his, walking around in search for apples is growing tiresome — he's hungry. so rather than moving around blindly waiting for wei wuxian to make conversation, he hurries this by picking a random stranger and what does li'l apple decide to do? looking straight at wei wuxian, eye to eye, the donkey huffs before moving closer to it's prey and biting whoever right on their ass!

horrible! horrible. is what he's thinking, rushing over to grab the reigns on his evil pet, pulling them and quickly: ) Forgive me! I'm sorry about that, Li'l Apple gets so cranky when he doesn't have anything to snack on. ( and then, it comes to him.. normally people are persuaded by cute pets and maybe if li'l apple calms down; this can work. a hand raises to pat at his animal's head, he pats the person's lower back to dust it off, no ass touching here. )

d. runetchers;

( it's actually a simple job to him, he's use to working on creating symbols and such on talismans back home that he feels like it'll be a breeze. now, implementing enchantments in them are another story which he's done that as well but.. will it have the same effect? he wouldn't know nor does he care enough to truly find out but the there's a bell that jingles as soon as someone walks into the shop, alarming wei wuxian to quickly get to his feet and start the day. )

Welcome, welcome! How may I help you here? Oh, maybe you'd want to hear about our specialties! So today, I've been working on something great! Come and see, come, come. ( he's waving for the person to follow him, moving to a desk close by that's covered in paper talismans with various markings etched in each other. ) This one is really good, I tried it and got a bird to visit me. It's an Animal Attraction Talisman, any little creature you can think of will be summoned to this! We can try it out, free of charge!

( holding out the talisman to the other, the markings are quite creatively done. his strokes are better than others but now will his magic be any good? well, he's been told what to do to get the right affect and when he tried it; it seems good. ) What do you say?

e. wildcard;

( you have something you want to do with wwx? the world is your oyster, i'm down for anything! or you can hmu on sakasaki if you want to hash things out! )

[Justine peers at the cute sign and its painted hearts while a light teasing smile tugging at her lips. Her dark eyes briefly meet the handsome strangers only to bashfully look away again.]

I've never paid for a kiss before.

[Her voice is sweet and light.]

You are very handsome but I don't think I have enough money.

I can't believe this, Sister, you'll pass up a chance to kiss lil' ol me? ( he winks towards her direction, now, if this didn't have to deal with making money — he'd give one for free! despite her not having any money, he hums softly before leaning back in his seat. )

Alright, we can fix this! It'd be wrong of me to allow a maiden to go unkissed! I'm a Cultivator of my word so.. ( he snaps his fingers, looking around at who walks past them and hopes this doesn't sound too odd. )

Perhaps you have something else you can offer? A ring? Some magical item? I'm sure a handsome man like me and a beautiful woman like you can make something happen! ( he's a charmer, of course, but damn, alright, he's gotten farther than he expected for the day. yay, wuxian! highfive, wuxian! )

[The corner of Justine's lips lift into a light teasing smirk.] I'm not sure if Sister is an appropriate nickname if you want to be kissing. [The remark is soft, her voice sweet and teasing.]

I haven't been here very long to have much.

[She has the locket hanging around her throat but it had been a gift and she isn't about to offer up the gift to another.] How about this? [She dips her fingers into a small leather bag on her hip and pulls out a glimmering rainbow shell. It looks like any shell but then Justine focuses on it and a little spark of magic alights in her palm. At the center of the shell is a soft glowing ball of blue light, like a mysterious pearl.]

Will this work?

Oh!? What do I call you if not "Sister"? I'm being courteos and respectful towards you, I couldn't dare call you anything else! ( yes, he couldn't imagine being rude towards her and then the poor sister doesn't even have money on her! it's only worrisome! )

But you do have some? So you're hiding it away from me... How upsetting! Perhaps, I am not handsome enough. ( he's playful, sighing as if he's heartbroken. guess it really be like that! but there's a surprise, the pearl that she pulls out is actually pretty enough to look at. he's not too sure what it is but it does make his eyes sparkle at the sight.

how she tryna con this man. )

Sister? It's really pretty but shouldn't you try to sell something so beautiful than give it away for a measly kiss? Then you can have lots of cunes and as many kisses are you want!

Do you value your kisses as so low a cost?

[Her lips tug into a warm smile as she gently takes his hand and drops the shell into his palm.] It's an experience. Something exciting and new that can lead anywhere. I'm not purchasing a kiss but trading for a memory. I won't forget it and it won't be tarnished by heavy weighted emotions.

[She leans forward to light brush her lips against his but she moves slowly, giving him time to pull away if the shell and it's magical light isn't enough.]

( this plays like the domino effect, how the female leans in and while he can feel the brush of her lips against his and instantly, he shifts to the side to avoid a complete connection. not that he's scared or anything but did he actually say he wanted this despite his eyes shining at the item!? it's like giving away a free kiss and that isn't what today has in store for him. ) Sister! Sister! You say we're trading memories but memories won't pay to put food on the table! I have a family to take care of..!

( that's true, he has people to think about other than himself and while the shell is quite beautiful — he's quick to put it back into her hands. )

Do you see now why proper payment is important! ( the expression he wears is worried because every cune actually means something! )

[Justine smiles as her fingers curl around the shell.] I guess you don't want to go through the trouble of selling this. [She's being honest, she really doesn't have money to spend on a kiss. Harry had given her a small amount to buy bread with and that's all the money that she has on her.

It's also not the amounts that this man is looking for.]

Maybe I'll pass by here again and have money then. I'm afraid that this is all I have.

[She looks very comfortable about that too.]

I'd never cheat a Sister out of a chance for her to gain more than me! That's the only problem I have with this so you sell it first! I'll even accompany you to do such a thing if you're worried of doing it alone.

( does she need a knight in shining armor, just someone to by her side to do the smallest things imaginable? then look no further! wei wuxian is here to help with just that. if the item can be sold, why not sell it and reap the benefits while gaining a kiss included? that's what he thinks anyway. )

I'm sure I can take a break for awhile, do you want to spend a little time with me? ( even if it's not a kiss, maybe just having each other existing by one another could be just as nice. besides, wei wuxian has never been against being in the presence of another person. he also doesn't mind having someone to talk to, it does get pretty lonely between waiting for kisses and chitchatting with himself to make the time go by.

if he's lucky, his donkey will check on him. ) What do you say?

[Justine's smile doesn't falter as she gently inclines her head in a nod.] I'd like that. I'm not sure where I should go to sell this and I admit, you're an interesting man. I'd be happy to spend some time with you. [He's odd but in a good way and Justine finds that she likes him.

This world isn't where she wants to be or where she'd expected to end up but it's at least keeping things interesting.]

Do you have any ideas of where to go? I think you might know better than I do.

Okay, okay ~ ( he grins, thinking about the item she tried to pass onto him which didn't look that bad. it's actually pretty so he think she'd be able to sell it with ease so maybe that should be their first adventure. )

Do you wanna try and sell it together, that shouldn't be so bad! I'm sure we can find someone to take it off your hands. ( but he's new here so he wouldn't know where to go which he seems to be at a loss, staring at her for a moment before a sheepish bit of laughter leaves from his lips. )

I'm new here so I'm learning my way around, I'm still lost but not that much! I know how to get back here easily!

[Her fingers thoughtfully brush against her lower lip as she considers where they can go to sell the glowing blue shell. Justine knows a few jewelry stores but she isn't sure if that's the right place.]

There are stands along the market district that sell different things. Maybe one of them would be interested in buying it? [Lovely dark eyes look up at him while a warm smile graces her lips.]

What do you think of that? It might involve a lot of talking. If you're up for it.

I can do that, don't worry! Take me, take me ~ ( if she doesn't know already, wei wuxian just likes to talk but now his bargain skills can be quite good too if he's into it. what he does next is quite normal for him, locking their arms together as he stands in place for when she's ready to depart. he can leave his stand it's not like he made that much today, anyway. )

We just have to sell it, I promise, we have to put a whole vibrant backstory unless it already has one.. you should tell me about it. ( so he knows the history behind something so unique, there has to be some reason why she even has it at all. )

Oh, Sister, I haven't even gotten your name! I need it if we're going to do this together!

[Justine isn't bothered by his proximity or manner. In a way it's refreshing and she's happy to let Wei Wuxian take the lead.]

I was learning to swim when I found it. I suppose it does have a bit of a story. I found it by accident and nearly drowned too. [She's still learning how to swim.] A light is fitting, isn't it?

[She glances over at him, her dark eyes glittering with warmth.] Have you forgotten already? [That's fine, they can do it again.] I'm Justine and would you like to formally introduce yourself. I don't know what you prefer being called.

If you had met me a million years earlier, I could have taught you! ( it's true, people raised in the yunmeng jiang sect are naturally known as good swimmers so a missed chance but nothing he cries about. though, there's concern on his features as he listens to her. ) That's not good.. you shouldn't die for pretty things, you're a gem yourself more so than that.

( his eyes widen, slightly embarrassed as he chuckles sheepishly. ) Sorry, sorry! I have terrible memory.. comes from my amnesia! ( oh, maybe that's why it felt like something was missing... he didn't introduce himself! that's what that is. )

Mo Xuanyu! That's me ~ ( now this feels better, explaining who he is despite stretching the truth just a bit. ) I'm from a small village so being in a place like this is so different ~

I hadn't intended to drown. [Justine clarifies in a gently tone.] I think I know enough about swimming now to prevent it but I still have a lot to learn. If you're ever by the shore and see me you should join me. It's a lot of fun. [Even if it's also terrifying.]

That's alright. If you forget again then I'll just remind you.

[Very few things truly bother Justine.]

It's nice to meet you Mo Xuanyu. I hope you don't dislike the city. It has it's charms, even if it's different from a small village. [She gently guides him towards a small shop selling crystals, jewels, shells and other odds and ends. This is the place where Justine thinks she can sell her shell.]

It's fine, I have no complaints! The people I meet make it all the more exciting ~

( he likes being around people so being here makes no difference to him, looking around to try and find a vendor that he thinks will take up the offer. )

Like you, you're kind of different but there can't be double of us, huh? ( looking towards the shop, he raises his brow as he runs over to push the door open; holding it so the female can come in as well. ) Look at all the pretty stuff, come in, come in! ( the bell rings as he shakes the door, trying to get her attention. )

You're an eager one aren't you? [It's cute though Justine doesn't entirely agree with his out look on life but then she doesn't particularly care to meet people. She doesn't dislike meeting them but it rarely turns out well for her.

At least thus far, this man seems to be pleasant and endearingly eager.]

I'm coming. I'm sorry if I made you wait. [She turns towards the woman behind the counter and smiles.] Excuse me. I was wondering if you were interested in buying this?

[She uncurls her palm to show the woman the glowing blue light at the center of the shell. The shopkeeper's eyes grow wide but she quickly schools her expression as her gaze returns to the unlikely pair.]

I could provide a small sum for such a piece.

[Justine glances back at her energetic friend, wondering if he had the extra charm to get this woman working with them to sell the unique piece.]
