FEBRUARY MINGLE
February Mingle: The Outlander Who Caught The Wind
Welcome to Teyvat - a vast magical world of adventure.
Life in Mondstadt seems to never change. Each day unfolds similarly to the next, and the clock turns back every seven days. Just what is happening here? Is there ever any hope for the Travelers to find a way home? Slowly, the questions that have been burning in everyone's minds will be answered The fate of all that lives in Teyvat is written in the stars - only you, Traveler, are free from the shackles of destiny.
As Travelers wake up to August 13th for the third time, nothing seems to have changed. However, a windstorm blankets all of Mondstadt in the afternoon, whipped up by the wings of a large dragon. As civilians scatter and the Knights attempt to restore order, a voice calls out to you from the darkened sky. 
"Come fly with me. The winds of freedom will clear away the storm."
An updraft carries you and your Wind Glider into the air, where you can take aim at the dragon without hindrance. However, your attacks seem to focus on the purple spikes that torment the dragon's body. From whence did they come?
At the behest of the Acting Grand Master, you venture out into Mondstadt's wilds to stem the flow of power fueling Stormterror's rampage. Perhaps you may come to know of Stormterror's past - once a protector of the city, now turning his back on the nation he once loved. What broke the dragon's heart? Could he have truly turned dark once and for all?Whatever path you choose to walk, it soon becomes evident that your actions do have an impact on the world. August 17th arrives gracefully, and the people of Mondstadt turn their attention to the arduous task of reconstruction. Helping to patch up the city's beautiful neighbourhoods piece by piece will earn you the citizens favour and a good amount of Mora.
When the dust settles, peace returns to Mondstadt... for the most part. The howling of wolves can be heard in the depths of the night - a territorial dispute in the dark forests of Wolvendom has spilled over into neighbouring Springvale. The order in Wolvendom is kept by the will of Lupus Boreas - all wolves who reside in Mondstadt must obey Andriu's code. The foreign pack heed not his words, hunting above their share and attacking human hunters.Yet all wolves look the same to outsiders unfamiliar with their code, and the residents of Springvale are all too willing to blame all of wolfkind. Who will listen to the voice of the wolves? Will blood be spilled on these untamed lands once more? Only time will tell.
State of the World
For the first week of February, IC time will continue the time loop from January: that is, looping once more from August 10th to August 16th. ICly, the tasks in our main quest will be completed by characters before Sunday ends. Once Monday rolls around once more, they’ll be pleasantly surprised to find that the date has advanced to August 17th. The second to fourth weeks of February will be spent looping from August 17th to August 23rd, and characters will have plenty of new things to do in the new time period.
For all questions regarding February's mingle and events, please head over to our OOC post.

... So how about Plan B?
(ANSWER THE QUESTION FIRST, CLAUDE.)
no subject
Well he's not screaming in pain so he's...probably fine, right? Enough that he can actually attend to this while Claude nurses his broken dignity]
...Alright. I'm on it.
[He steps over to the tree and starts climbing it. Between his climbing experience, enhanced physical abilities, and weighing much less than Claude- he scales the tree with ease! Honestly, it practically looks effortless on his part beyond needing to take a couple minutes to coax the cat over to him.
But it's not long until he's got the cat in his arms and he opts to just...jump out of the tree, landing gracefully on the ground with a cat in his arms.
Man, think how much time and pain could've been saved if Jun had just done this to begin with.]
no subject
... But he's also watching Jun scale the tree, studying the way he does it. He's taking mental notes! He's not going to give up on this but this is definitely enough for one day. Dryly,)
Gee, way to show me how it's done.
(He claps! )
Let's get Lady la Mew back to her owner and call it a day.
(Let's go!! Find the owner who is like... a sweet old lady and her very granddaughter.)
no subject
Haha...I'm sure you'll manage this with enough practice.
[No he won't, at least not to Jun's skill level. But that didn't mean Claude couldn't get better in general...! He's hoping that's what the guy take away from that]
Yeah, good idea. Please lead the way.
no subject
This way, I think. (And he'll lead Jun away from the tree, towards a row of humble homes and little shops.) It's one of these...
(From a small shop-- one that sells cheeses and other dairy products-- a little girl screams, "Lady la Mew!" And comes running towards them. She practically tackles right into Jun for her furry friend.
If Jun gives her the cat, she'll thank him warmly and enthusiastically. Claud whomst? Jun is the hero in her eyes for the day.)
no subject
And even bigger oh no- the girl spots them and runs out to meet them, taking away precious seconds Jun thought he had to make his exit. Next thing he knows, he's getting practically tackled by a happy girl]
Ah-!
[The cat will eager unhook itself from jun and jump into the girls arms. Jun can only stand there stunned as he gets thanked like he's some hero. Truthfully he looks like a deer in the headlights from the way he stares and stumbles for words. HE IS NOT GOOD AT THANK YOUS.]
I-It was...nothing. C-Claude did most of it...!
[HELP]
no subject
Oh, I didn't do anything at all.
(Waving his hand in the air, just brushing away the compliment! He did nothing but fall on his butt. It's all Jun. It doesn't stop him from crouching down to be at the girl's height to redirect her attention over to him,)
But make sure to keep an eye on Lady al Mew from now on, okay? It wasn't easy getting her down.
(The girl nods fastly and thanks them both once more before running back in to call for her grandmother. They're free!)
... Wouldn't have pinned you for a shy guy.
no subject
But oh, it looks like he is intervening. Objection rescinded, he really appreciates the save. He breathes out and manages a wave to the girl as she runs off. They're free!
Though was free until Claude pointed that out. Which uh yeah, talk about embarrassing.]
Ah...well, you know ... between my work and being a nerd, I don't go to many parties.
[Jun that doesn't explain what just happened here at all]
no subject
That makes the two of us.
(Between his goals and working to achieve it, he doesn't spend much time at parties either. It also doesn't help that he's a big ol' outsider back home, too. And yet, he still manages to act like a jock or something,)
It's a good thing we aren't at any parties right now.
(JUN WHAT YOU SAID DOESNT MAKE ANY SENES FOR WHAT HAPPENED)
no subject
[At first he thought he was getting away with it, but nope Claude just had to call him out with that follow-up. Damn.
At least he'll come clean...ish this time.]
... Knights from my order favor working from the shadows. In an ideal situation, people don't know we were there in the first place. So I'm not used to getting...that kind of attention.
[Being acknowledged and thanked for something. Also there's a whole thing where he has a borderline pathological hatred for himself thanks to all sorts of issues boiling over, but we don't have time unpack all that.]
no subject
(He doesn't sound too surprised. Where he's from, it's not uncommon for people their age to be knights (or rather, knights in training). Jun had seemed prety ordinary to him but to be completely fair, most of the people in the Blue Lions seemed normal enough until you really got to know them,)
... Those don't exactly sound like the type of knights I'm used to. Shouldn't knights be out in the open? Dashing and being flashy... showing off chivalrously?
no subject
[he gives something of a wry smile.]
I'm not a typical knight. I don't joust or save princesses or serve kings. My main duty is to handle supernatural monsters and threats, dangers that most people can't see or do anything about.
Better to be discrete so people can live in peace than to risk causing a panic over invisible monsters, wouldn't you say?
no subject
(Something about what Jun's said seems to ring for Claude.)
I guess I'd just rather know what dangers are out there than live in ignorance but that's just me.
no subject
[Jun can respect that stance, he's pretty much of the same mindset, if you got down to his personal opinion]
Unfortunately, it's not that simple for everyone. Unless a person has some degree of innate spirit power, their memories of supernatural things fade once they're away from it. So even if we did tell people...most would think we're crazy or forget by the next day.
no subject
(Which doesn't seem really fair to him but this time, its in a way that cant be helped. It doesn't seem fair that they can be hurt by things they literally can't comprehend.)
Talk about a bad deal.
no subject
[There was once a time where he didn't question it. It simply was how things were. But after being around Ryouta long enough to see the impacts that memory loss had on things ... it really didn't sit right with him anymore]
But, that's why we exist. To stop people from being hurt by such things.
