Welcome to the Neighbourhood [Having never set foot on a mechanical vehicle like the train before, it takes Chongyun a while to gather his bearings and figure out where exactly he is. The strange device he found himself with held no answers, and while it was frustrating, he decides to take it with him. Exiting the train and heading out onto the platform, Chongyun can’t help get an uneasy feeling. As an exorcist he is used to travelling to haunted locales and abandoned buildings, but this place seems… more bizarre and unsettling than even he is used to.]
[The lack of people doesn’t exactly help that uneasy feeling go away, even as he exits the station and heads down the road. Sure he’s used to working alone, or going to remote locations, but a full and bustling city like this SHOULD have people. But alas, there is no one here; just empty streets lined with empty buildings and shops, hinting at life and bustling activity and yet showing none of it. Chongyun takes a moment to stop before calling out into the empty city.]
Hello? Is there anyone here?
[He pauses, frowning, before bringing a hand to his chin.]
No people… Is this the cause of some evil spirit? I might have to investigate further…
I Scream, You Scream [Chongyun’s special constitution requires him to take his meals cold, and he has special popsicles to help control his Yang energy. But while his popsicles are a necessity, he never thought there would be a full store dedicated to such things, so the ice cream parlour is surprising in more ways than just its appearance. Though quite overstimulating in colour, Chongyun decides to enter and see what kind of place this is.]
[While the music is certainly familiar in an odd sort of way, and the colours are quite mismatched and bright, the place itself seems quite nice. And though it still feels wrong to just help himself to the food present, he does decide to try some of the ice cream that’s offered. The first bite of ice cream he has is cool and refreshing, and just what he needs to help calm his energies.]
[And he’s delighted to discover that there’s more than one flavour! Much more than the plain and somewhat-tasteless popsicles he eats for his Yang energy. On a whim, he decides to try the chocolate, which is rich and creamy and bolder than the vanilla had been. But as he eats, he finds his mood going from calm to melancholic, and with each bite he can’t help his mind from wandering to more morose thoughts. He doesn’t even realize he has tears in his eyes until someone comes by and points them out, which will cause him to look up from his silent sobs.]
O-Oh… I-I’m sorry. I don’t… know what’s wrong…
[He has to stifle another sob, rubbing his eyes. What’s wrong with him??]
Psychic Shop [A shop dedicated to the occult is going to catch the attention of a young exorcist, if only to draw him in as a potential place to restock his supply of exorcism tools. He enters the shop and has to blink as his eyes adjust to the dim light, but it certainly seems like a good place to find supplies that exorcists use. He’s already seeing a few items he could use for talismans or protective charms.]
[But as he explores the shop, a frown forms on Chongyun’s face. Some of the herbs and crystals he recognizes, but a lot of the objects seem… superfluous, or unnecessary. And that frown deepens the more he looks, taking in the gaudy spellbooks and even some of the silly adornments. Eventually, he comes to a stop in the middle of the shop and crosses his arms.]
This shop is just… ridiculous. Half of the protective talismans in here don’t even look like they’re real! Someone could really get hurt if an evil spirit comes along and they’re using a fake protective amulet. Are they trying to take advantage of the people’s desperation by offering false remedies just to make a quick Mora??
[He blinks as the words leave his mouth, before he shakes his head and takes a deep breath.]
Woah, calm down, Chongyun. Deep breaths…
