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! )

The long, flowing hair at first glance had her thinking it was a woman, but the musician turned out to be young man. The song he played was calming, entrancing even. When he stopped, it took her a moment to realize it was over and to start applauding him along with the rest of the people that may have gathered around.
She doesn't forget the bucket for donations, and she does pull out some coins from the small pouch she had to drop into the bucket. While she didn't have all that much yet, the man had earned it and she understood doing whatever you could to earn a living. ]

( though she's the first, he can't help but think of something in kind to give back so he's curious, slowly getting up to his feet to get rid of the distance between them both. slipping his flute back into his robes, he looks around them both to see if anyone is watching that he should be playing for and since no one has a care about him at all. )
Kind is what you are! Do you always pass through around this time of day?
no subject
He stands suddenly, which has hear leaning back slightly in surprise. ]
Oh, um..sometimes, yes. It's my first time seeing you here though.
[ She surely would remember someone like this. ]
That song was beautiful. I've never heard a melody like that before.
no subject
It's because I'm new! I came through this weird mirror place and it was just really odd but cool..! ( he's never seen her either so they're all strangers here, but as he thinks about it to his start here.. he shivers as if he's experiencing a bad memory. ) I met a l.. lady.. and some.. scary monster.. ( though he's quick to shake it off because there's no need to show an inkling of fear for too long or even think about it. )
Ah! Thank you! It's something I recall but I'm glad you enjoy it ~ ( he pauses, tilting his head at her and then.. ) Oh oh! Do you have any songs you'd like me to play for you?
no subject
[ So more of them really were coming in. ]
I'm not from here either, but even where I'm from our music doesn't sound like what you played.
[ She's a little excited to meet someone else, but the moment he mentions monsters and she sees the way he shudders, Alex consciously pulls back a little, touching her hair consciously. Her hair was worn down, but she wasn't sure how well it was hiding her gills. ]
Oh...it's..it's okay. I don't think I know any you know..and you might not know my songs either..
[ Her demeanor changes a little, her shoulders hunched forward a bit more, breaking eye contact more frequently, and her voice uncertain. ]
no subject
Really? Then I'll have to make sure to play you more! Don't think you have to pay all the time for it. ( with the way she touches her hair, he tilts his head slightly confused as to why she'd do such a gesture. did he say something wrong? he can't even remember if he said something about her hair but he does try his best to cheer her up. maybe she's a shy girl.. ) No, no, it's okay, you're a very pretty Sister and I think your hair looks nice! Or.. are you worried about your songs! I got it! We can make songs together and then we'll both know, what do you think?
( maybe that's better? or so he hopes. )
no subject
...Yes, there's a lot that's different from what I know, but the coven have been really helpful in accommodating us, and jobs aren't too difficult to come by. About the songs..I've never made one before, so I'm not sure how good at it or helpful I'll be.
no subject
The lady that I spoke to when coming here said that witches have it good here and monsters sometimes have it hard but I'm kind of glad the jobs are easy to come by! No matter who a person is, they should at least have stable income. ( you know, money so they can eat and get little trinkets for themselves. )
Oh? Really? It's super easy! One day I could teach you! If you hadn't noticed, I'm trying to find a way to keep in contact! Ahaha! ( he's pretty stupid but he tries his best. )
no subject
She does stare at him a moment as she finally comes to the understanding that he was trying connect with her somehow. ]
Oh! Oh, I--Sorry, I didn't realize--!
[ She seemed to be meeting more people who wished to be on friendly terms lately. Which wasn't bad, not all. It was just..different. ]
If you're okay with it, I'd like that, actually. Um..are you here everyday?
no subject
( to see her actually surprised by his actions makes him laugh, closing his eyes as a hand raises up to cover his mouth. had he said something wrong? no. but he's pleased by her reaction that he nods right after. ) I think I might make this my spot every day if that means I get to see you ~
( because why not? if he's able to meet such a kind person here, who's to say he won't meet many others? especially if he's able to run into someone like her. ) I could learn a different song for you and everything! Or you could tell me what you'd want to hear! ( even if he probably won't know it at first, he'll figure it out. )
no subject
Then..what if you taught me a song, and I could teach you one? Oh, but I don't know any notes or things like that..I can only tell you how it sounds.
no subject
( he's not opposed, now it comes down to what song. he hums softly, thinking on the various melodies he's learned while taking the job of a cultivator and they come to him one by one. ) Don't think too hard about it! I'll make sure to supply us with something when you stroll by again, you're so exciting that I'd hate to pass the chance to share something like this with you ~
( besides, they'd have to get her an instrument and everything unless her voice could be anything to go bye. she made be shy, to herself with the way she becomes easily embarrassed but that's a charm point nowadays. )
Oh, oh! Maybe you can tell me the things you like, too? We could start from there?
no subject
[ No one had ever called her that before. There was just no keeping up with his compliments, and arguing with him seemed like a losing battle. It felt rather embarrassing to just accept them though. ]
Well I..um..we don't get all that much where I'm from, but I do quite like jazz. [ Ergastulum censored most things, so she was limited to what managed to pass through and what she learned outside the city prior to being brought there. ]
I'm used to slow paced songs, but I wouldn't mind learning new things. You're pretty exciting too.
no subject
( his smile only gets wider, leaning towards the female to get into her personal space. trust him, he's not trying to make her uncomfortable but he's just too enthused by their conversation and learning the things she likes —
jazz is certainly a new one, a hand raised to his chin as he tries to understand what she means by it. tilting his head to the side slightly confused and he continues: )
Jazz.. Jazz.. Never heard of it! How do I make you Jazz?
no subject
Oh, that's not..um..it's a genre of music not a-- well, I guess it sort of is something you can do if you dance it but um..I'm talking about the type of sounds and such..
[ She does finally notice that he's still calling her 'Sister'. ]
Alex is fine, by the way. What's your name?
