((Route)) [029] Video/Action Goldenrod [China's Bday]

[gochuugoku]

[Today is October 10 and it is drizzling in Johto. China can be seen walking around Goldenrod, holding a red umbrella over his head. His Glaceon, Meimei, happily jumps into puddles as she follows her master. China looks into the various shop windows until something in the music shop catches his eye.]

Oh! They actually have one, aru!

[Video]

Hold the camera nice and steady, Meimei.

[China can be seen standing behind an interesting-looking instrument. He tests the strings first, before playing this song. Pay attention at how he's using his fingers. When he's finished he looks up at the gear, smiling gently.]

Today is my birthday, aru. Also, I first arrived in Johto on October ninth last year, a day before my birthday. [He sighs, but keeps smiling.] I have noticed that there are quite a few people who also have their birthdays in October, so consider the song I just played as my gift to you all, aru.

[He's all smiles.]

Xie xie. It feels so strange, knowing that I have been in Johto for a year now, aru. But... I don't regret the time I have spent here.

[angelicmask.livejournal.com]

Perhaps that is what is most important.

[He returns the smile and gives a small bow of his head.]

Xie xie, Kuranosuke! It was a pleasure to be able to play the guzheng again after so long, and on my birthday no less, aru!

I think it is, aru. My stay here has given the opportunity to meet people from all sorts of worlds, as well as giving me the chance to become more acquainted with the people I know from home.

[angelicmask.livejournal.com]

I'm glad that you've been able to have such an opportunity. It's something that I'm looking forward to enjoying as well.

[China smiles sheepishly and scratches the back of his head.] You are too kind, aru. Thank you.

This instrument is called a guzheng. It originated from my country, China, aru! I used to play all the time back home.

Oh, thank you again. Still, it feels so strange celebrating it here, aru. Not in a bad way, though.

...Why did you send me women's clothing, aru? [He liked the cookies, though!]

[video]

[gochuugoku.livejournal.com]

Thank you, Pinkie Pie!

Isn't it? I always enjoy playing the guzheng, aru.

[gochuugoku.livejournal.com]

Well, back home I would with my family and friends, but here Johto everyone is kind of scattered at the moment, aru.

That would be nice, though.

[China doesn't know who this is, but he still smiles and bows his head a little.]

Xie xie.

[ex_cuts951]

That's not cool!

[gochuugoku.livejournal.com]

Oh? Is yours also on October tenth, then?

[gochuugoku.livejournal.com]

It happens, aru. There are always plenty more holidays for us to get together. Chinese New Year, for example!

[ex_cuts951]

Well, happy birthday anyways.

...What's that?
