Is everything ok?

Oh, Keith! What exactly do you mean by that? Has something happened?

Is Marie with you?

Yes, she is, however, she seems to have had too much to drink. I do not want her to collapse in the middle of a street, but I do not know where she lives either. Why do you ask?

[Of course China has to ask many questions.]

She's been texting me. I can walk her home, if you'd like.

I see. [Was that why she was suddenly saying that she was feeling better?]

That would definitely be of great help. We are at the opium dens.

You should probably tell her that I am coming. She may not want to see me.

Why would she not want to see you?

[However, right after he sends the text, he remembers something. He sends another text right after the first.]

Are you the one she just told me about?

Because to her, I'm a horrible, dirty person. If you don't want me there either, I suppose I will leave you both alone. I understand.

I'm sorry if I've interrupted anything, Mr. Yao.

[Oh, no... don't tell him he's gotten caught up in something. At least humor him a little. He rubs at one of his temples as he texts with one hand.]

I do not know what is going on, but there is nothing happening between Marie and I. I've only spoken to her a few times and I shared some opium with her at the Winter Gala, but that is all. I see her as only an interesting person to talk to. Even now, we are only talking over a little opium and some drinks, though Marie has enjoyed more drinks than I have. You may come and talk to her if you wish, I have no problems with that. It is none of my business knowing what happened, so I will not ask.

I hadn't assumed that. I just don't want to create an uncomfortable situation for you. She told me she's having fun with you. I don't want to ruin her mood. I can walk her home later

Oh? Forgive me then, I thought I was being dragged into some uncomfortable situation.

[His next text shows a change of mood.]

You seem like a good friend to her, Keith. I can see that you are concerned about her, so I can assure you that I will not let anything bad happen to her. Unfortunately, I do not think I can do much for the hangover she will most likely have in the morning.

[Normally he wouldn't say such things right away, but the drink he had was making his lips a little loose, then with the combination of opium, he was feeling slightly giddy.]

LORD WANG YAO
WERENT YOU SAYING SOMETHING ABOUT PREPARING FOR THE LUNAR NEW YEAR

Yes, I did. The Lunar New Year is fast approaching. I had already made some plans back home, but now that I am in this place I will have to start from scratch. Just out of curiosity, are there any other Chinese citizens here?

[Even if there aren't that many, he still wants to celebrate the New Year.]

THERE ARE A FEW OF US
BUT THEY MADE US CELEBRATE THAT WESTERN HOLIDAY
DID THEY NOT

HOW ABOUT A PROPOSAL THEN LORD WANG YAO
ILL ASSIST YOU WITH PREPARATIONS
AND WELL MAKE A BANQUET BETTER THAN THAT POOR ONE LAST MONTH

YOUR THOUGHTS

Edited 2013-01-15 22:14 (UTC)

That is true. If the Twelve can bring Western holidays here, then surely they can bring an Eastern one as well. I like the sound of your proposal, General Zhong Hui. We could make all the fine cuisine our homeland has to offer. Perhaps some lion and dragon dances as well. Then of course, what is a holiday without music and fireworks? I like it, I like it very much.

[ ah... of course. the only thing is, if we do go forth with all of his ideas, he'll be broke for months... ]

THEN PERHAPS WE SHOULD MEET TO DISCUSS PLANS
YOU SHOULD ADDRESS THE NETWORK FOR INTERESTING PERSONS AS WELL
AS A REPRESENTATIVE OF CHINA
IM SURE YOUR CALL WOULD BE WELL RECEIVED

[It's okay... so would China, which is why he's trying to figure out how they can manage the problem of money.]

Yes, we should, I could make some tea for both of us during our discussion. I was thinking the same thing, perhaps I could ask those who are interested if they could put in a little money since it would be of great help if they did. I would hope so. Not only that, but being the eldest brother in my family and with none of my other family members being here, I am also representing them.

[He can't help but start to feel slightly melancholy now. His family... they definitely would have helped out too, even Kiku.]

Edited 2013-01-15 23:03 (UTC)

[ really, though... he questions if dragon dances and fireworks would really be necessary, but he can agree that it is very traditionally chinese. which is the point of the whole thing, he supposes... ]

VERY WELL
LET US MEET SOON THEN

YOU HAVE A FAMILY? [ well, of course he does. ] IF YOURE HERE ITS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME UNTIL THEY ARRIVE
BUT YOU SHOULDNT WISH IT UPON THEM

[He's a bit taken aback by the question of his family, but it's not like he hasn't heard it before so he just shakes it off.]

Yes, I have five brothers and two sisters, and of course I would not wish it upon them to be here. I do miss them, but on the other hand, I would prefer that they stay home where they are safe and where they do not have to "worship" so often.

i see
well
how .....
are you with whats asked of us

I am on my fourth week... and it is just as people said. It's a very unpleasant feeling.

[He's no virgin, but he feels so awkward about just asking someone so casually. However, that time when he was at the opium dens with Marie was a close one. He managed to control himself, but it wasn't easy with her being so close to him and then suddenly kissing him on the mouth.]

[ d-deja vu. what does he even say??? of course, zhong hui wants to help, but... ]

shouldn't you
get that taken care of ......
there are places for that
you know
