[open] catch-all log
🧙 WHO: Bennett and YOU!
⚔️️ WHAT: Catch-All log for the month of March
🕒 WHEN: March. All of it.
🗺️ WHERE: Various
⚠️ WARNINGS: None
[BOLD BUNNIES]
[Tracking down rabbits? Talk about easy! Bennett's got loads of experience hunting rabbits for food, surely it must be loads easier to just track one down and return it home, right?
...maybe not. As Bennett exits the tenth Bunny Cafe he's checked today, once again turning up nothing. Bennett stands in the doorway and hangs his head.]
Sheesh, these cafe breed faster than rabbits do!
[It seems, much like treasure, the rabbit remains beyond his grasp. Is this his bad luck at play? Or just a cunning bunny?]
[CROP AND ROTATE]
[Bennett has always seen his healing magic abilities as more of a burden than anything helpful. As nice as it was having the ability to take care of his own injuries quickly and easily now, he was the sort of person who would dive headfirst into battle, so not being able to charge in, sword wrapped in flames like he's used to doing just made him feel like he was less capable of holding his own now.
It did make him appreciate tasks like this, though, ones that explicitly called for his magic set, and not in a way that was just healing wounds. It let him feel... helpful. Like he could contribute in ways that weren't just being muscle.
...Not to say he isn't doing plenty of that. Over the course of the day at the farm, he helps clear the fields and till the soil to prep them for the next planting. But he also gets a chance to use his magic on the hay. All in all, a very busy day is had by him, catch him during any of these tasks or even help him out.]
[DRAG'N'DROP DRAGONS]
[The Spring Equinox seemed like a fun time with the way everyone in town seemed to be buzzing about it, Bennett couldn't help but feel nostalgic for home. Back in Mondstadt,this was probably about the time the Windblume festival would be starting up, packed with celebrations, revelry, activities, and of course, flowers.]
Ah! Over there! We should grab as many flowers as we can! We can always give the leftovers to other people!
[And speaking of flowers, gathering flowers was of the utmost importance right now. He's heard from people before that flowers have a language of their own, that they can convey very important meanings and feelings just by their color and look, but he never would have thought that language could be used to speak with dragons.]
...Do you really think we can talk to the dragons by making flower crowns?
[If only it had been that easy for the Traveler trying to quell Stormterror's rage.]
[LOCK, STOCK, AND BARREL]
[Games were an important part of any festival, and so was playing said games.]
Don't worry, I'll be fine, just roll me down the hill. I can handle getting banged up a little. This should be nothing compared to the injuries I've gotten back home!
[Probably not something you should casually admit to, Bennett. But he's already ducking his head down into the barrel. Let's do a barrel roll.]
[NO ESCAPE FROM HOPSCOTCH]
[This game reminds him of something he'd seen little kids playing around town back in Mondstadt sometimes. Not that he'd ever gotten to play himself, even back then his bad luck was rather well known, so it wasn't often he had chances to play with kids his own age. But now things were different! He could make his own choices and do what he wants! He could play hopscotch!
But now he was starting to question his decision, as pieces of the hopscotch board were slowly falling away, exposing giant holes leading (seemingly) to a bottomless pit. Was this his bad luck at play here, even ruining a simple child's game now?!]
Is this supposed to happen?!
[WILDCARD]
[Got something else? Make your own prompt or plot something with me!]

[Take your pick, Benny!]
no subject
...I-I'll take riding your back, thanks.
no subject
[He kneels down a bit to allow Bennett the chance to hop on.]
You'd best hold on tight, then. And don't rip out my fur.
no subject
I'm ready.
no subject
[Nanaki nods and turns, before taking off at a run. If what he saw was correct, he would definitely need a running start to make the jumps. Hold on Bennett!]
no subject
[He was prepared for Nanaki to run, and yet he was not prepared for just how fast Nanaki was going to move. But he holds on tight, even locking his fingers together underneath Nanaki's torso.]
no subject
[He runs over to the first building and sees a nearby ledge. He begins his ascent, leaping up the side of a ledge, then up to an awning, up to a fire escape, and up on a nearby roof. It's a little bumpy, but surprisingly fast!]
no subject
As Nanaki starts scaling the buildings, Bennett watches as the scenery blurs by, utterly impressed by his partner's agility and precision here. Talk about epic...]
no subject
Hold on. We have a big one coming up!
[And he's going to run to one end of the roof, before turning back around and running full-speed towards the other end. And once they get to the edge, he's going to leap! Soaring through the air as they jump to the adjacent roof. If they make it, they can get up to the roof they were looking at from the ground.]
no subject
[Bennett braces himself as he holds onto Nanaki as tightly as he can. He feels the two of them soar into the air, the wind ruffling through his hair as they sail across rooftops. Normally, this is precisely the moment Bennett's bad luck kicks in and causes some tragedy to befall them, but... Nothing happens? Not yet, at least. They're able to safely land on the rooftop! Color Bennett impressed.]
Hey, we made it! Talk about lucky...
no subject
You could call it luck, but I prefer to call it skill.
[Is he preening? He might be preening. But they are safely on the desired rooftop they had been planning to reach!]
