Nine To Go - [Voice]

[avaricious]

[Well, someone is getting married. Here, of all places! Ling thinks it's a bit reckless, but there's no harm in a little fun. So he devises a filter and doesn't even bother disguising his voice.]

[Filtered To Males Only]

Hello! My name is Ling Yao. I'm sure most of you heard about the recent wedding about to happen. I've been thinking about marriage myself. After all, I do have to eventually pick out fifty wives when I return home. But it wouldn't hurt to find someone here as well. I could be here for a very long time and Luceti does happen to have an exceptionally stunning population of women. So, what do you say that some of you suggest your top five most beautiful women for consideration. Feel free to elaborate on what makes them an excellent candidate for marriage.

And please, let's not get into the matters of Xingese politics. It's really just the way things are, so I'd rather not talk about it much.

[It would ruin the fun!]

(ooc: Please, please, please go all out with the thread jacking! I'm not even kidding. I want to see shit hijacked all over the place up in here. Hell, Ling himself might not even reply to some of these threads unless they interest him personally. Go wild, please! It'll be fun, honest.)

Sort of. I guess you could say I had too good of luck for a long while, and... well, it just ran out. She got sent home. I didn't.

[He shrugs.]

I picked up and moved on. But the last girl I was actually attracted to got sent back to her world after one date.

[avaricious]

... you haven't been attracted to anyone else? [... Adell, are your hormones broken?]

[vulcanblazer]

...Don't get me wrong. There's lots of beautiful girls around here. I can see that. Sure, I may have been interested in a couple, I guess, but... for me it takes more than just a pretty face.

[avaricious]

Well they do have pretty bodies too. [And more! But Ling isn't this guy's therapist.]

[vulcanblazer]

[Adell snorts a chuckle at that.]

No argument there.

Well, if I had to name drop an especially good looking girl, I'd say Nami, but... yeah, don't bother. She's probably not gonna be interested.

[avaricious]

Oh? Why is that?

[vulcanblazer]

She's never showed much interest in dating... pretty much anyone. And I'm pretty sure a lot of guys have tried.

[avaricious]

Oh. So she's only interested in women. How unfortunate.

[vulcanblazer]

I didn't say that at all! I said she wasn't interested in anyone!

[avaricious]

Well that's boring.

[vulcanblazer]

...You did that on purpose, didn't you.

[Well, whatever.]

And I guess if I'm gonna list a couple others? Well, Raven from the smithy's pretty, though she's really quiet and doesn't seem to like people that much.

[He thinks briefly about Sheena, but decides against it. Last thing she really needs is suitors lining up for her.]

[avaricious]

[Wow, save the busty ninja for yourself!]

It's not very helpful if you keep listing women that aren't interested in people.

[vulcanblazer]

[Hell yeah, Adell has the same voice actor as Zelos, so what now? He's already got points toward that.]

I don't know her that well, though. For all I know I could be wrong.

[He shrugs.]

Oh yeah, Azusa's really good looking too! And she's really nice and has a great singing voice.

[A pause as he thinks...]

...Let's see... well. A lot of the other good looking women I know are taken, come to think of it. Sorry.

[He also neglects to mention Cloche, but given the heartache she's been through lately... well. Better left unsaid for now.]

[avaricious]

... are you sure that they just aren't interested in you?

[He's getting a vibe here.]

[vulcanblazer]

Didn't we just go over that I'm not exactly looking much?

[avaricious]

Well, it certainly shows!

[vulcanblazer]

Look, when you really...

[He trails off. He's not going to really get into it. It's just not worth it.]

Never mind. If I end up meeting someone I really get interested in, I'll ask them out. Simple and effective.

[avaricious]

Well, you do seem to be the expert. I'll take your word for it!

[vulcanblazer]

[...Now he's just being trolled.]

...All right, then. Who's on your list? Someone as interested in beautiful women as you probably has one.

[avaricious]

Well, there's Crystal. She's not much interested in a relationship, which is a shame. She's a very thougthful and considerate girl. I don't know many girls with the patience she has. But she's strong and brave enough to go into a battle alone, relying only on the help of her unusual pets.

Winry is an exceptional woman from my own world. She has an exceptionally large heart and though she can seem cold at times, don't let it fool you. She's a kind person with a warming presence. She was recently taken, but now she's smitten for another.

Haruhi doesn't smile much and I don't think she's very happy, but she's a very intelligent woman with a very creative mind. She's wiser and more considerate than she lets on. And despite appearances, very mature as well. But when she does smile, you can see the caring woman behind it.

Katara may be a master of moving water around, but she's got a real fire in her. She won't put up with people who treat her poorly and never afraid to speak her mind. She's the sort of person who doesn't compromise what she believes in, even if it hurts her to do so.

Anise is a little young, but she's filled with a strong sense of ambition worthy of a princess of Xing. She's always eager to please and bring a sense of excitement. Though I think she's not really interested in me for the right reasons.

Pao-Lin is an exceptionally skilled warrior and quite strong. Her home reminds me of my own. I don't think she's very happy here, though. Though I don't think many are, but she did seem sad last time we spoke. Someone like her deserves better than Luceti.

I did go on a date with Nagisa! She's a little naive and very shy, but she tries her hardest in what she does. I can't say she's a fighter, but she's strong in her own way, keeping her feet on the ground even when someone insists otherwise.

Kairi is a fighter. She's been here longer than I can imagine being trapped here, but she hasn't lost any sense of passion for life. She's also rather funny, as well. Even if she did turn me down, I still have a poster of her to remember her by.

There's Ran Fan. A fellow member of my clan that I've known all my life. She's an exceptional sort of girl with an undying loyalty. There's no one I know as strong as she is and has done things I can't quite imagine. No one I know can quite give their all like she can...

[Oops. He got a little sentimental there. He changes gears quickly.]

Of course, my personal favorite is female Edward! She's everything you could hope for. Spunky, funny, and exceptionally smart. It really is a shame the Malnosso keep replacing her with the boy version.

1/2

[vulcanblazer]

[...

He actually put a lot more thought into this than Adell had ever thought to give him credit for. In fact, he looks more and more stunned the more Ling speaks. And he's honestly surprised he'd list Haruhi, but he can't at all disagree with the assessment.

After Ran Fan, though...]

2/2

[vulcanblazer]

[He just loses it and busts out in hysterical laughter. Edward. Seriously.]

[avaricious]

Well that's rude.

[distressedude]

[...]

[You know, by now Ion's used to Anise and her desire to marry a rich and wealthy husband, but it's still another thing altogether when a man Ion doesn't know is listing her as a potential marriage applicant.]

Pardon me for intruding on your conversation, but... how exactly do you know Anise?

[moremoremore]

...

Ran Fan, huh?
