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 onsakasaki if you want to hash things out! )

[ Iramaat is rather sly herself, but she takes his hands just as eagerly, gripping him with a firm strength as she gives him another look-over now that they're a touch closer than they were before. ]
I can sing, I can play the flute, I can use a sword, I can do all sorts of things. It really does depend on what you want and what you think one of your kisses is worth.
[ She leans in slightly, eyebrow arched. ]
Or maybe how much you think one of mine is.
no subject
But we have things in common from how you speak! I can do a variety of those things too ~ ( he doesn't find that so bad, they share certain aspects of hobbies which comforts him enough and brings a grin to his features. )
Cute, cute! Are you becoming the seller now when coming up to me? A shame, I have nothing to give so it's why I propose the offer of my kiss first! Cunes aren't that bad to give me, are they?
no subject
[ She shrugs, still holding his hands as if it's the most natural thing in the world. If that's all he wants, that's a little troublesome. But he's entertaining and amusing and he has a very pretty face, so maybe she could give in. Just this once. ]
I suppose it's not, even if it is money I might use elsewhere.
[ Pity! She sighs dramatically. ]
The things I do - but I think it will be worth it. You're amusing.
no subject
You're too kind, Sister! There may be something I can do for you later because of this exchange ~ ( wei wuxian finds her words to be a compliment, eyes sparkling at guessing that he's done good for once. his hold tightens around her, extremely pleased as he finally lets her go to take a step back and his happiness just bubbling up with every second that passes. )
To take care of me in such a way, I can truly honored! ( a hand places to his chest, nodding as he presents himself at least. ) So that I am no stranger, I am Mo Xuanyu, so if you ever need anything.. remember to call my name, alright? ( a short but simple introduction as he grabs the container on the table, holding it out to her so that she can drop the currency when ready. )
no subject
[ Or maybe it was an accident. Either way, she's not sure it matters too much. More information to add to the pile. She gives his hands a friendly little squeeze and then works one free so she can reach for her coinpurse. Why not indulge a little? She can be luxurious. ]
Mo Xuanyu? You may call me Iramaat. At your service.
[ She practically purrs the words and then drops her handful of coins into the container, listening to them clatter. Three hundred. ]
I'll take my kiss now, hmm?
no subject
I really don't understand how bonds work but I'll ask my wife if we're bonded! Might not get a response though... ( considering his wife isn't one to say too many words. as he speaks, confused on the matter; he waits for the currency to hit the bottom and he sets it down by his feet right after. he didn't lie about what he's willing to give, closing the distance between both him and the female, wrapping his arm around her waist to pull her closer.
as they're pressed up against each other, he hums softly and speaks one last time barely above a whisper: ) Thank you, for your purchase. ( he leans forward to ghost his lips against her own, eyes locking onto her own with intensity as his free hand reaches up between them to cup her chin up just a bit. with that done, he closes the distance between their mouths — giving to her what she had purchased. it's not a kiss that's short-lived, no, he makes sure to put his enthusiasm into so it's at least worthwhile for her — biting down on her bottom lip and then guessing once she's satisfied; he pulls away. there's a grin on his features as the serious expression from before fades, revealing a more goofy demeanor from the idiot. ) There you go, Sister! I hope it was fine ~
no subject
[ Iramaat waves a hand, trying to dismiss that thought. She feels the need to clarify, honestly, because otherwise this whole conversation is going to become needlessly confusing. Anyway, that's beside the point because she is very quickly about to get what she decided to pay for.
She leans in and drapes her arm around him in turn, letting him steer her chin with his fingers at first. Her eyelids flutter and then lid and finally close as their lips meet, fingers curling against his robe as she does. She's just about as intense as he is, meeting him with enthusiasm. She paid for this, she's going to take as much as she can and enjoy it along the way. She even sneaks in a little love-bite on the way out and then they pare, her face flushed slightly and a small grin on her face. ]
Oh, you're good at that. I like you.
no subject
( he's proud of himself, licking his bottom lip where her love-bite had been given right after out of habit. now he doesn't usually go around giving these away but it works with what he's got to do. wei wuxian does catch iramaat's flustered face, chuckling softly as he can't help but point it out. )
You're pretty cute for a sister, do you always blush like that after a kiss?
( he's guessing he's done good this time, placing a hand over his heart to show his genuine offer. ) I'm glad you enjoyed it, hopefully more gentle souls like you will come through and pay for a kiss! So tell your friends, alright? I give really good kisses for a nice price ~
no subject
Oh, not always. I just wasn't expecting to be quite as enamored of your kiss as I was! Maybe we should do it again sometime.
[ She tips him a wink. That's a pretty open bit of flirtation, althoug hit's hard to tell how serious she is. ]
If I see some of my friends, I'll definitely recommend you, though.
no subject
( of course, he doesn't allow her wink to go solo so he does the same gesture back and bends over to grab his jar, setting it down onto the table next to him as he nods. wei wuxian is happy with what little he's made, it's not what he expected to end with but it's more than enough for him. he'd be giving them to the other once he gets back home, anyway. )
Maybe I'll drop my price for you next time but that would be wonderful, I need to make as many cunes as I can! Hopefully, my wife will be proud of me with what I made so far and it's thanks to you! I'll make sure to tell my wife all about you ~ ( he makes good on his promises in regard to that, maybe he could even introduce the two along with his roommate that he also stays with. sounds nice to him. ) Tell me, have you been here long? Are there other effective ways to make cunes here?
( please teach him. )
no subject
Definitely not a failure.
[ She clasps her hands behind her back and arches a brow, considering his words. Well, she was making money in her own way. It just involved... working a little bit. Which she doesn't entirely mind, fortunately. ]
Some people tend to post "help wanted" advertisements and they'll pay you for it. It's a very neat little system. I've no complaints so far.
[ Despite being scratched by wild animals. ]
no subject
I applied for some place that I thought would do me good but that'll take a bit to get started in! So maybe I'll see you around there too when I get in good! ( what was the place called again? something about runes? but cutely catchy? not cute enough to keep wei wuxian's memory of it but he'll know it when he sees it. )
Maybe I should pick up a few more.. ( or not, it sounds like too much work when he's focused on too many things already. his multitasking is alright, but nothing to brag home about if he accomplishes about three things at one time in this new body of his. but he dismisses the thought as he looks back to the female, grinning kindly as he can. ) Well, I can tell that I didn't die because when you ascend, people will burn money for the deceased and since I'm so broke.. this place really is real and I'm really alive so I must work hard!
no subject
[ She waves a hand carelessly. It pays, anyway, and even if she's not really one to think too hard about money, she does need to live and live in style, so she'll have to get a bit of a nest egg built up. ]
So must we all. [ She agrees solemnly. ]
Such a pity that we're brought here and then we have to try and earn our keep, as if we wanted to be here in the first place - but ah, I shouldn't complain! I get to see a new city and new faces! Face new evils!
no subject
( he's happy about that, nodding his head as he keeps that in mind and if she's doing things such as mail which he equates to.. gifting letters — maybe he'll get one sooner or later. ) The monsters aren't people that live here, are they? Since I know.. the area outside of this place is inhabitable, correct?
( it doesn't hurt to learn new information, the way he blinks shows that he's wholly curious. of course, he knows there's something about monsters have it worse than witches sometimes so he hope that isn't the case? ) You know so much! Maybe I should get you to teach me everything you know.. I am a new arrival but I do hope I don't become one of the new evils you speak about!
no subject
[ She shrugs. ]
And I'm happy to teach! But I'd need something in return - information isn't exactly free, hmm? And I have to look out for myself, don't I?
[ She's absolutely turning that around on him after earlier. ]
no subject
( despite getting money off of her, he wonders if he's willing to give back for information in regards to the infection that's troubling creatures. ) I wonder what do I have to give..
( and there he goes, patting at his robes as if searching for something useful. all he got is a sword by his side but he doubts that would favor anyone so he laughs softly to himself, clearing his throat as he accepts quick defeat. ) It seems you got me here! But if this about information and you've been here... hm, can I ask about resurrection of the dead, do you know anything about that? What can I give for that!?
no subject
[ She taps her chin at his offer with a little frown, as if thinking. ]
I can tell you what I know, but in exchange I'd have to get something... Oh, I don't know. A favor of some sort? Some kind of task? I'm not sure - what do you think knowledge is worth? What's the going rate around here? What can you do, besides sell your kisses?
no subject
I'm not sure what I can do, coming here has taken every ability I've gained back home so I believe I'm the average human. ( he thinks on the matter, trying to figure out what may intrigue her and while he actually has nothing, perhaps he can do something at a later date. )
I could make a promise, but are those worth anything? You speak a task, what is it that you may need done? Is it relative to life or death, I normally find myself getting into that sort of trouble all the time!
no subject
[ She shrugs. That is that and she'll continue to scandalize people as much as she likes. ]
Promises are worth quite a bit, at least where I'm from! [ She waves a hand and then settles in next to him, drapes a friendly, companionable arm over his shoulders, as if they're the closest of friends. ]
My word is my bond and I always keep it, even if others can't do the same! But rest assured, I won't ask you to do anything that will put your life in danger. I'm not that cruel!
no subject
( he allows her arm to rest over his shoulders, leaning closer to her to wrap his arm around her waist to show the same enthusiasm. there's nothing wrong with showing friendship through touching is it? well, he doesn't think so and nor does she with how she takes this in stride and speaks up on what she wants.
he doesn't mind her attitude, finding it to be a breath of fresh air as he continues to listen. ) Alright, what can I promise you then? I'm sure I'll have no reason to object it so tell me! ( he's curious, practically glued to her person as he waits for what it is that must be on her mind, maybe there's something specific or it'll come back up as "remember a long time ago you said you'd do anything for me?" )
no subject
[ She shrugs, leaning up against him with a little sigh. He's comfortable enough and she feels comfortable enough with herself (and with him) to linger, taking a bit of pleasure in the whole affair. He's very entertaining, as far as she's concerned. Why not keep this going as long as she can? And if he's alright with cozying up, why not do that, too? ]
I don't have anything I need specifically right now, but there's always later.
no subject
( though, who knows the things he'll get into and if she'd really want to fool with him; wei wuxian has always been the troubling sort. even with the air he gives off as someone kind and supportive, he really can't help the problems that come with him but he really does try his best. no one can say that he doesn't. so doing that as well for iramaat is quickly embedded in his brain, making sure that if she's in need or wants something; he should supply if it can be done. )
I don't have anything to hide so what's mine can kinda be yours since we're all in the same boat? ( he has a feeling what she'll probably request for later can't be that bad, so why not. ) I got your back, I got my back ~
no subject
[ Iramaat seems happy with this exchange. She's basically promised him information - that she may or may not actually have - and gotten the promise of his assistance in the future. She's quite content to leave it at that. She gives him a friendly squeeze and then starts to unwind herself from him. ]
If you need my assistance, please don't hesitate to call on me.
[ She'll have to figure out what he can do for her at some point... ]
