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.)

Then it should be time to start meeting us! I am confident that we from Konoha can be as effective friends as Ino-san is n effective girlfriend. My name is Rock Lee!

[stilldontgotit]

Hey, that works for me. Kind of an odd place for intros, but... the name's Riku.

[niceguypose]

It is good to meet you, Riku-kun!

[stilldontgotit]

So, you been here long? Kind of hard to keep track of everybody when there's over three hundred people hanging around.

[niceguypose]

Not for long! I have arrived only last month. I appear to be the most recent arrival from my world!

[stilldontgotit]

Man, that must've been weird for you. Some of your friends have been here for months, if not longer.

[Like Ino and Shikamaru. They're the first ones who come to mind.]

[niceguypose]

Indeed, they have. Some have been here for years, and even Naruto-kun has been here multiple times. It is something to be used to, for I am used to being older than most of the other Konoha ninjas who are present here.

[stilldontgotit]

Heh, I know how that goes. When I first got here, my best friends were a year ahead of me, and usually I'm the oldest.

[niceguypose]

I see. We are most definitely kindred in that regard! At least it helps us to embrace our youth.

[stilldontgotit]

I don't know. Is one year really such a big deal in the long run?

[niceguypose]

It is! Every last moment of youth is an invaluable, irreplaceable treasure, Riku-kun, whether it contains romance or heartbreak!

[stilldontgotit]

Every single moment, huh? And I'm guessing even sleep counts...

[niceguypose]

Of course! The value of sleep can never be underestimated. It is a time for our bodies to rest and recharge our youth while our minds continue to adventure through dreams!

[stilldontgotit]

[Or nightmares... but Riku's not gonna be a downer.]

That's true. You can't accomplish much if you're too tired to even move. It's just not healthy.

[niceguypose]

[Nightmares are just another obstacle to be overcome through training.]

This is true. An alert mind can accomplish so much more training!

[stilldontgotit]

Sounds like training's a pretty big deal to you.

[Then again, Riku knows what that's like. He spends enough time training as-is.]

[niceguypose]

It is! I believe heavily in the benefits of hard work, so i train myself with an upmost diligence!

[stilldontgotit]

Well, I can't fault you for that. I wind up spending a good chunk of my time training, anyway.

[niceguypose]

Good! We must train together sometime! That way if one of our training regimens is harsher than the other's, one can improve through the other!

[stilldontgotit]

Well, I'm always up for a good spar. Besides, training's more enjoyable when you have somebody to bounce off of.
