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.)

Yeah, guess so! I'd say maybe we could see her wearin' it again someday, but I doubt she'd be okay with that. Hijikata-san would probably throw a fit, too.

[cannoneer]

Lemme guess, he's the angry one, right?

[nikori]

[...AHAHA yeah that deserves quite a large bark of laughter from Heisuke.] Hahahaha! Yeah, that's Hijikata-san all right! He's always pretty grumpy, and it doesn't help that he's suddenly more protective over Chizuru.

[cannoneer]

Lemme guess, jealous boyfriend?

[nikori]

Somethin' like that! Or at least, he's been making it seem that way, haha! [Regardless, it's hilarious.]

[cannoneer]

... so, that mean she's not seeing anyone?

1/2

[nikori]

...Huh? Uh... No, guess not. Why do you ask? --

[nikori]

[...

...!!!]

Wait... Oi, oi! Just 'cause Chizuru's not with anyone doesn't mean some random guy can take her, okay?! I won't let that happen! [FORBIDDEN.]

[cannoneer]

Aww, I'm not some random guy. She invited me to dinner. [See? Tht makes it okay.]

[nikori]

The rest of us don't know you though, so that still makes you some random guy! [GOSH. Chizuru is under their protection okok. Even though Heisuke sucks at that sometimes.]

W-whaaa?! Well, you better not do anything funny or do so much as lay a hand on her, okay?! [I hope you didn't think this dinner wasn't going to be chaperoned.]

[cannoneer]

Relax, man. I ain't gonna do anything to hurt her. Not like I plan on asking her out or anything. Pretty sure she's too freaked out by me for anything like that.

[nikori]

Yeah, you better not! Or at least not for a while, anyway. [...Actually even then Heisuke's somehow unsure about that. He doesn't want Chizuru with some guy okok.] What makes you think she's too freaked out, anyway?

[cannoneer]

Probably the part where she thought I was some kind of monster the moment I met her.

[nikori]

Mm... Well, Chizuru's not the type to really think that way about someone after knowin' 'em, so...

[he would know; he's basically a monster himself. ...and well Chizuru kinda is too but he wouldn't think of her that way at all.]

[cannoneer]

Yeah? Well, I guess we'll see.

[He gets the feeling that this isn't something that can change easily.]

wow that's embarrassing

[nikori]

Yeah, just trust me! Chizuru's pretty great like that. You'll see soon enough.

[At least you're not a demon who wants her to bear your children, Cyborg.]

[zumo]

[He was going to reply specifically to Cyborg's self-introduction, but:]

Nothing of the sort. Don't listen to a word this idiot says.

[cannoneer]

Right, gotcha. Good to know.
