avaricious | Nine To Go

[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.)

[There's a pause where Yuri tries to remember what Raven's referring to.

.......

... Oh, right. He's not completely sure, but he has an idea, at least. So, he'll just shrug to himself.]

I guess things like that really do change people's attitude towards some things.

[Might as well just stick to light teasing. No need to get serious in such an open setting.]

Huh? No! Don't take it the wrong way, I'm still judging which girls are the hottest and worth my time! There's just no point in sayin' it on here since they're bound ta find out about it. I've got enough trouble on my plate, I'll let the other guys take the rap fer this little incident.

[Besides he has his own list.]

Huh. Well, never mind, then. I guess nothing can change an attitude like yours. [a quick pause, then--] ... Although, I can't exactly say I blame you for staying out of this, either way.

Speakin' of which, what are you doin' in a journal entry like this? I never pegged ya down as the kind of guy who liked anythin' beyond girls with cat ears.

[-------IGNORING THAT.]

I'm just passing time.

[... Maybe not completely ignoring that. He sounds kind of annoyed. Really, of all the things those stupid trees could've said about him ...]

[He didn't get it from the tree, he got it from your lovely reaction to Rita's outfit back home. Sorry dude.]

Huh, funny way ta pass time. Don't ya usually go to the battle dome fer somethin' like that?

[w/e w/e. No need to blurt it out in an environment like this anyway, you old fart B(]

I just finished up there. There's only so much I can do before I run out energy, you know.

[... Never mind that it took nearly two hours for that to happen.]

Excuse! My boy, there's no shame in admittin' that you wanna enjoy the finer gender once in a while! We're all in the same ship!

Haven't I already said in the past that I'm not interested in talking about this stuff with you?

And I already said that I'm not gettin' involved in this. Geez, with the way you act I wouldn't be surprised if you were into guys.

I think you know by now that I'm not.

[HONESTLY.]

And besides, for someone that doesn't want to get involved, you're sure trying hard to get me involved.

Then stop makin' up excuses and just admit that yer here fer the same reason the rest of us are! Ta hear about the pretty ladies in this rotting garden!

I'm not making up excuses! Man, what part of "passing time" do you not understand, old man? I don't need a reason for everything I do.

[Really, that's all he's doing! ... And maybe seeing who gets named frequently and so on, but dammit, it's for science or something, okay?!]

Ya don't need ta be so defensive about it! If you were passin' time then why would ya risk gettin' involved in something as like this? Ya know, somethin' that's gonna end up bitin' the butt of every guy who replies to it.

You're the one giving me reasons to get defensive ...

[But whatever, moving on. He really doesn't care THAT much.]

Besides, it's not gonna come to bite me at all. I'm not saying anything incriminating.

Considerin' this isn't the first time the guys have done this, I've got the feeling we're all going down with it. [Always the optimist.]

Think about it! A whole entry of guys talkin' about which women are the hottest and I, me of all people, am being one of the ones not blurtin' all the bra sizes out everywhere! It's wrong! All wrong! Being here in Luceti has gone and done somethin' ta me! I can't take it!

Hey, relax ...! I'm pretty sure keeping your mouth shut in this kind of situation doesn't mean something wrong with you.

Don't tell me ya've gone and forgot my personality already?! I'm Raven! R-A-V-E-N! I only do two things, complain and flirt! What good am I if I'm not even doin' the flirting?! [He immediately stops, so promptly it's obvious he was going to continue. Instead, something he hadn't considered came to mind.

After the brief pause he just sighs.]

[... Really, Yuri has no idea what to even say to that. Uh.]

... You done now, or are you going to keep freaking out at me?

Uh, I think that'll do. I don't really feel like talkin' any more.

Huh?

[... Well, it sounded like he came to some kind of realization, or something, during all that ranting. Either way, Yuri's not going to question it. Whatever it is more than likely isn't any of his business, anyway.]

... All right. Whatever you say.
