[A: quest: summer fever!]

[With some of the medical centers around Camelot being overwhelmed with summer fever they are in need of some more hands to help them attend to all the residents and patients in the wards.

While Venti isn’t the hardest worker there is he does have a soft spot for helping others. Even if his sense of helping others means that he’s using his musical talent to sing to the various patients, sick and injured in order to lift their spirits and spread some cheer. Maybe he could be coaxed into some other chores?

Venti can be found attending to a room here and there with an old-looking wooden lyre in hand and singing softly to the summer air. Or enjoying a serenade in one of the main rooms where people walking by can enjoy. Be proud of him since he’s working to help instead of working for a glass of wine to drink. But truly, Venti does have a heart for helping others when he feels he should.

And it is more than a good opportunity to practice some of the newer songs he’s been learning in this world! Like this brilliant tune...]

Your heart's been aching but you're too shy to say it...

[B: tdm: margaritaville pair challenge]

[The carnival that rolls through town is right up Venti’s alley. With festivities come games and with games comes competition and with competition usually comes a sort of prize. And when Venti eyes the humongous glasses of slushy margarita he seems to sparkle with mischievous delight. Drink a giant slushy of alcohol in order to win a recipe spell that helps you avoid hangovers? ... Sign him up.

But he needs to do this with a partner! Hope someone’s ready to get their drink on because Venti is very suddenly coming up to you with a smile on his lips and a twinkle in his eye. If you look like you can hold your liquor, even better!]

Hello there, friend! Care to try out a rather refreshing little bit of competition? Ehe!

[C: camelot, relaxing with the birds]

[On this breezy summer day in Camelot Venti can also be found lounging under an old oak tree basking in the warmth of the summer sun and gentle breeze. Yet it might be peculiar to see Venti sitting there with a rather large and dangerous-looking brown and black falcon on his arm. The proud bird is sitting there preening a feather or two while Venti hum gently at it.

Which might be odd to those who know him. For Venti doesn’t have a falcon for a familiar. Who does the bird belong to? Did he steal it?

Nonetheless, the bird seems quite fond of the little bard. When Venti reaches up to pet the creature it coos and nuzzles his hand. It might not give the same treatment to others...]

[D: exploring celliwig]

[The best part of exploring a new city is certainly the draws to the unique shopping that it has. Celliwig has proved to be a bright delight when it comes to new and unique forms of foods, music, and charms to buy. Magic, clothing and trinkets, and all the rest. Venti has found himself wandering about the shops and stands with a curious little glint in his eye.

He comes across a few things that take his interest. Especially a stand that is selling what appears to be different summertime potions. He wants one, as the shop owner notes that they can give some amusing special effects. Fae magic? Or curses?

Without much money in his pocket, though... He might have to resist the urge to do a little sleight of hand. Or charming someone into buying a few things for him.]

Yahoo! Would you like to try something special and new? I heard wonderful things about these.

[Beware, these fae-made potions or drinks might make you hiccup songs or sneeze flower petals!]

[E: wildcard]

[got something else? feel free to put it down here! or you can find me at michrure for some plotting!]

Comments

[dottedline]

And you've never been carded?

[(X) doubt]

[concierto]

Carded?

[What does that mean in the land of Mondstadt?]

If you mean if I've been tossed out of a bar or two before, I admit, I have been. Yet, I am as old as I need to be. You don't need to worry.

[dottedline]

I trust you [A mistake] but does your world not issue an ID with your age, address, and picture on it?

[concierto]

[Siiiiip.]

Hm, no. Not at all. Mondstadt is the nation of the free. That seems needlessly complicated to keep track of.

[Maybe Jean knows, though...]

If you're worried, most tavern owners do try to keep children out.

[But he shrugs. Because he's not one.]

[dottedline]

Not worried, just amazed.

[A sip and another near-gag.]

How much longer do I need to last?

[concierto]

[He waves a hand and then Venti takes another happy gulp of his own. He's almost done! And not a flush of red on Venti's cheeks!]

A bit more. I'm almost finished...! Ehe!

[And the judges glance their way, looking impressed!]

[dottedline]

I don't know if I should be impressed or horrified, honestly. Well done, Mister Alberich.

[concierto]

[He looks pleased as punch. He's done now. So Azul can stop his own drinking as Venti is announced the winner.]

Why, thank you. All the better to secure the prize. You did well yourself! Are you feeling lightheaded at all?

[dottedline]

[Azul hands his drink to the judge to be disposed of.

He looks a little green.]

No, but I...think I may need to lie down all the same.

[concierto]

[Hey now, don't waste the rest of the drink like that...

What if Venti just... takes it.]

Would you like an escort home, dear friend?

[dottedline]

No, no, with some water and a chance to lie down I should be alright.

[Ish. But he's not going to let Venti help him and possibly nullify the contract that way.]

Thank you, though.

[concierto]

[And just like that Venti is handed the win for the contest, taking the scroll of the spell into a hand.]

Alright, if you say so! Be careful while you're on your way then. And thank you again for the assistance.

[He giggles happily.]
