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.)

[This gets a groan. He is not surprised to see Katara mentioned there. But really? Korra too?]

Great, I'm sure this guy will be very happy with Katara.

[generalflirt]

If she agreed? Oh would he ever. Sadly, I don't think she'll ever go for that.

[markofthewise]

Don't be so sure. I dated a princess once. Maybe she'll feel the need to match that.

[generalflirt]

Did you? Well, if it's dating Ling-kun for sibling rivalry, can't fault that.

[markofthewise]

Yeah. [A pause and, okay, he can't help it.] ... really? Korra?

[generalflirt]

Really what? Have you looked once at her breasts? They're quite gorgeous. Boobs are Justice and all that.

[markofthewise]

[... well, okay. He had. And tried not to think about it because it was weird. But.]

Have you tried using that line on her?

[generalflirt]

Acha, well, me an a handful of other people here actually value my life, so I think I'll hold off on that. [He laughs] No sir, I've done enough with helping her fit into some clothing while she was hot and sweaty.

[markofthewise]

[Record scratch.]

You did what?

[generalflirt]

Assisted a girl wearing clothes thick enough to be light armor get into some summer duds when I saw her dying.

[markofthewise]

Yeah, but I'm guessing you didn't just point her to the summer clothes and say "good luck", right?

[generalflirt]

That wouldn't be very considerate if I did, now would it?!

[markofthewise]

Yeah. I'm sure you were doing it all out of the kindness of your heart.

[generalflirt]

Absolutely.

[markofthewise]

Thought so. [Bleh. With Korra still gone, he'll have to decide what to do about that. But she's fellow Water Tribe. She probably deserves a warning or heads up or something.]

[generalflirt]

I'm a considerate guy, after all. I see a girl in dire straights, no way I can't help her out. You're the same, right, Sokka?

[markofthewise]

Sure. My first thought would have been "air conditioning" and "refreshing beverage".

[generalflirt]

To a girl wearing something that looked like a bear pelt in 33 degree weather?

[Celsius, that is. If you don't know that it might seem weird though]

[markofthewise]

She's a smart girl. She would have figured something out. I left the South Pole doing the same thing. Once the heat set in, I figured out how to wear less clothes. All without any special help.

[generalflirt]

That's all well and good, but what's wrong with helping her figure it out? It reduces suffering.

[markofthewise]

I'm pretty sure you were more interested in reducing coverage than reducing suffering.

[generalflirt]

I choose not to take offense to that.

[markofthewise]

[Offense was the point.]

Yeah, whatever.

[generalflirt]

But frankly, I should.

[markofthewise]

Yeah. You should.
