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.)

The girl's got a fire in her, alright. Definitely easy on the eyes - maybe even more than she seems to be, if that tree was right.

[avaricious]

That tree? [Oh, right. One of them did comment on Ran Fan. And Greed as well. This arouses his suspicion. Especially after the two of them building sand castles together...] Greed, would you say the two of you are close friends now?

assuming this is action?

[moremoremore]

I wouldn't go that far. It's such a pain to get her to really have fun, but... she's a good friend, alright. We've discussed all kinds of interesting subjects.

sure

[avaricious]

[... is that so. Well. That's even more suspicious.]

I see. What sort of fun have you tried to have with her?

[moremoremore]

Dumb beach stuff. Tried playing in the sand and tossed the ball around a few times. She wasn't really up for my kind of fun. I guess I just couldn't loosen her up enough.

[avaricious]

No. I don't think Ran Fan would really go for your kind of fun. [The man who wants money, power, sex and women.]

[moremoremore]

Yeah, I guess it's hard for anyone to have any kind of fun when they bind themselves with so many rules.

[avaricious]

We all have our own rules. The ones that Ran Fan keeps for herself are no less important than those you keep for yourself.

[moremoremore]

I understand that fully. We're just in a place where it's much easier to have fun going by my rules, you know?

[avaricious]

For you, perhaps. I'm not sure it's for everyone.

[moremoremore]

Are you sure? You're the one who fired her, right? So you're already trying to free her of some of the rules she used to restrain herself. Maybe because you understand that in this place, your little orders and structures don't really matter. Total freedom, to live and to want, that's what we can have here.

[avaricious]

That may all be true, but she wasn't fired. She was released from my service until such a a time as we return to Xing. [Which is better than a firing. Ran Fan would have never been able to accept that.]

[moremoremore]

Details, details.

[avaricious]

What about you, Greed? Anyone you're interested in?

[Besides Ran Fan obviously.]
