Who are you going to call?
WHO: Hu Tao, Xingqiu, and Chongyun
WHAT: The Liyue gang goes around to find some ghosts
WHEN: Afternoon
WHERE: Here, there, and everywhere
WARNINGS: Shenanigans!!
[The moment that Hu Tao heard of the city quest, she figured that it was a rather easy job. After all, this seemed to be right up her alley! Finding ghosts and making sure they leave the city? It was no different than what she did back home. That said, she couldn't help but feel the need to call some of her friends. What better way than to get this done quickly than having a group work together?
As she stood in front of them with a huge smile on her face, she quickly pointed toward a trashcan!]
Are you guys ready? I think this is a bootiful day to find some ghosts!

[It's in no way ideal, but it's the best they got. So with a nod, Chongyun's expression gets serious.]
That is what I've heard. They seem drawn to the trash receptacles, though I have no idea why.
[He does, however, jump when Hu Tao knocks on the trash can.]
Ah, Hu Tao, wait! Are you sure that's the right move? We could anger the spirits if they are in there!
no subject
[As she knocked at the trashcan once more, there would be the muffled reply of a 'Hello'. Smiling to herself, she took a step back feeling confident.]
Well, now that we know there is someone there, we can always ask the ghost to come on out! Don't be shy, you know you can't be in there!
[That said, it was only then that there was some shaking from the trashcan before it came closer! Of course, it didn't take too long before a bunch of them starting coming after them!]
no subject
But then there's the rattling and Xingqiu takes a step back.]
Is that? Are they all moving?!
[He doesn't like this! He might grab Chongyun's sleeve to do something!]
no subject
Halt! Not a step closer!
no subject
At the same time, Hu Tao got her spear ready as she too was attempting to scare them off!]
What a bother, how about we try to spice things up, hm....?
[Granted, she wasn't sure how far she could go with her power fires but as she try to approach them, they do seem to back off just a bit. How odd...!]
no subject
If it's only violence they respond to we may have to show them a thing or two.
[He summons his weapon as well and holds it at the ready. Hydro swirls around his blade and he's ready to vape and melt with the both of them.]
Do most ghosts need to be bullied? I'm surprised.
no subject
[Chongyun agrees that perhaps they might have to use force in this case. He's also just partly in shock that these ghosts don't seem to be frightened off by his pure-yang spirit! Or if they are, maybe that's why they're being whipped up into their little frenzy.]
[He notices how the ghosts seem to back up when Hu Tao approaches, and so Chongyun tries to step forward as well.]
Evil spirits! Your reign of terror ends now! Come out so you may be exorcised!
[With a glance at Hu Tao, he throws his talisman at the trash can, to see what happens!]
no subject
Aiya, I don't think that did much of anything. We need to do something else!
[That said, off she goes to an attempt to point her spear with a little bit of fire at the tip to see if it would do anything. The last thing she wanted was to burn the people alive...
And yet, they still back away. But the ghosts were starting to shake the trashcan a bit.]
no subject
The rattling...]
Hmm.
[He puts a hand on Chongyun's shoulder.]
If I may suggest, maybe you do have to shake the life out of these trash cans. For a lack of a better phrase. [He pushes Chongyun's shoulder.] Why don't you try that, Chongyun?
[Because he's sure that his friend would want to be up and close with the ghosts that get shaken out!]
no subject
[Chongyun is briefly surprised when his talisman does nothing. But he's sure he used the right one! But then, they also didn't react to Hu Tao's spear... Were these spirits different somehow?]
[He's pulled from his thoughts when Xingqiu puts his hand on his shoulder. He glances back at the other boy, blinking curiously.]
Shake them..? You think that would work?
[He turns to look at the trash can, and he nods. Whatever needs to be done to help the people!]
Alright. Hu Tao, I'll shake the trash can, and you and Xingqiu deal with anything that comes out, alright?
[And so, he'll move to the trash can and, once the others are ready, will give it a good, hard shake!]
no subject
[As she looked back at the trashcan and at them, she gave a nod before standing into position waiting to see what might come out.]
I'm ready whenever you are. You ready Xingqiu?
no subject
He holds his weapon at the ready, regardless.]
I'm prepared. If you would, Chongyun.
[And if the two of them do go ahead and rumble the trashcans they might shake out a ghost or two that fizzle up into the air to leave the trashcan unpossessed so- rattle away!!]
no subject
It's working..!
[Is this what it's like to truly exorcise evil spirits??]
no subject
Is this what it is truly like to exorcise ghosts in this world? Well, that is enough to shake me down to my bones!
[yes, she is going to make a pun in the middle of all of this.]
