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.)

[Oh, so that's the way you want to play, huh ...]

I don't know ... I think he might just send us to the smithy for that.

[markofthewise]

The people at the smithy are too busy for that kind of thing. And far too respectable.

[trueknight]

So, the smithy can't bring themselves to do a little engraving, huh? I didn't realize they thought so highly of themselves. [a pause while he shrugs to himself] I guess we'll have to ask around and hope we find some metalworker here that hasn't put themselves up on the highest pedestal they could find.

[markofthewise]

Good luck finding one of those. I heard Brave Vesperia has a really good one, but with the way he's mistreated and ill used, I wouldn't be surprised if he turned it down.

[trueknight]

Oh yeah? I heard that guy complains a lot and keeps trying to get the guild's name changed. I'm not surprised he gets mistreated so often.

[markofthewise]

Well with the blatant favoritism of who gets picked for what, not to mention a terrible name, I can't really blame the guy.

[trueknight]

I never heard about any favoritism. You sure that's not just all in his head?

[... He'll leave the name thing alone for now, though. He doesn't really care about anyone's opinions on the guild's name, anyway.]

[markofthewise]

It could be. Or it could be their leader is trying to cover his tracks.

[trueknight]

That guy? Nah ... He doesn't seem like the type to care that much.

[markofthewise]

You're right. He does seem to be an incredibly uncaring and inconsiderate person.

[trueknight]

Yep. Totally uncaring. Which is exactly why that one guild member of his is obviously hallucinating.

[markofthewise]

So their leader is a sociopath and one of their members is insane. No wonder they don't get trusted for any real jobs.

[trueknight]

... Huh. You know, you just might be on to something there.

the most mature interruption

[wingenvy]

Hey, come on, guys! We're supposed to be talking about beautiful women here!

Leave guild politics out of the babe gossip!

oh perfect

[markofthewise]

[... oh, hey Zack. Whoops.]

See, Yuri? Even Zack agrees with me. On the talking about women part.

oh hey an adult entered the conversation

[trueknight]

Says the guy who dragged the guild into things to begin with ... [Well, whatever. It's not fun anymore with Zack grumping at them for this, even if it was for the best.] Anyway, I already said I'm not talking about any of this, and gave my reasons why. If that's not good enough for you, Sokka, then that's your own problem.

[NO OPINIONS FOR EITHER OF YOU. You both can just deal with it ]

it's scary when zack is the adult

[wingenvy]

Hey, come on, Yuri! You're surrounded by beautiful women, what's the harm in admiring the view a little?

downright terrifying

[markofthewise]

Yeah. And you can't claim you're not interested in them. We both know otherwise.

i think i might need another adult for this

[trueknight]

I wasn't about to, anyway!

[... UGH. C'mon you jerks, don't make him openly admit that most women he knows would probably break his spine or get royally pissed if he got involved!]

Someone's gonna spread this around eventually. So, why should I even bother?

is yuri afraid for his purity kyaaa

[wingenvy]

You're already neck-deep in the discussion at this point. Might as well go all the way.

[Stop being so evasive and join the fun.]

maybe he needs an adult to hug him :(

[markofthewise]

Yeah, seriously. Be a man! If it gets spread around, we can't possibly look as bad as the guy wanting fifty wives.

yes he needs gentle reassurances desu ne :(

[trueknight]

That's not the point ...

[SIGH]

Besides, I'm not interested in any of the ones here, as it is. So I don't even have anything to say anyway!

[That's probably the closest he's going to get to giving his opinion for the time being. TRY AGAIN IN A LESS PUBLIC PLACE YOU JERKS.]

yuri don't be a girl, I know you look like one but come on

[wingenvy]

Really? All these women and you're not interested in any of them? Man... you're really picky.

[You don't have to want to date them to say they're pretty, bro.]

or maybe you should just be a girl, you were good at it

[markofthewise]

Yeah, talk about high standards. No offense, but you're not exactly the hottest guy in Luceti yourself.

wow rude |:

[trueknight]

I never said I was.

[Good lord, he really can't get these two off his back for a moment, can he ... Well, he's getting dangerously close to tsun-ing out completely snapping at these two for an incredibly stupid reason as it is, so--]

Sheesh ... Go talk to each other if you want to go on about that sort of thing. I'm done here.

[And he's closing the journal to go be huffy and punch things with Luke |:]
