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.)

You shouldn't and... wait what?

Online, like on the internet? You look at reviews and buy stuff?

[avaricious]

[On a line? In a net?]

... so it's like a fishing market. Only with women instead.

[bloodybishie]

[Ok, he'll enunciate.] Not really. The internet is kind of like the journal network. People can use it to communicate with each other, and some people use it to sell stuff. So you go online -- on the internet -- and look at the things others have to say about a product before buying it.

That's what this reminds me of.

[avaricious]

That's a very complicated and confusing analogy. I'm not sure it really helped.

[bloodybishie]

Yeah. I kind of regret it...

Well, what I mean is, it's wrong to get reviews and rating from other men. You should just get to know people on your own. It might take time, but you should find someone. [Set up a Luceti Speed Dating group or something. Meet people faster.]

[avaricious]

What makes it wrong?

[bloodybishie]

Well, it's flawed to base choices on other people's opinions anyway. Also, the girls in question don't know. It's not fair to them, especially when they might not be interested.

[avaricious]

I'm merely getting names of people to talk to. And I'm being told of those not interested. I'd prefer to think of it as making things easier for them.

[bloodybishie]

Well, good luck with that. [This... probably won't end well.]

I doubt the women in the village will go for this, though.

[avaricious]

I wouldn't be surprised if they do the same thing if given the idea.

[bloodybishie]

I guess it could happen. [Girls do gossip. But they don't typically arrange polygamous unions.]

[avaricious]

A pity we won't be able to hear about it. But perhaps one of their own will rat them out to us in turn.

[bloodybishie]

Y-yeah. [... Would he be unable to see it if there was such a discussion? He's not sure.]
