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.)

I'm concerned she's only interested because I'm going to become an Emperor.

I see. [Okay, false alarm!]

[...but it'd be rude to just agree with him, wouldn't it? Even if it is (most likely) true, it wasn't the nicest thing to insinuate about Anise. Especially on the off chance that maybe she really was interested in this guy!]

[.......]



...she's shown interest in an acquaintance back home for a similar reason. Perhaps this situation isn't all that different?

[Jealousy is an ugly color.]

[avaricious]

Possibly. Though she does seem like a nice girl, all the same. So that may be a small matter that's easily overlooked.

[distressedude]

But you said yourself she's too young, didn't you? It'll still be quite a few years before she's likely to really consider marriage. Not to mention the potential age gap between the two of you...

[...n-not that Ion has any right to say who Anise can and can't marry, but...]

[avaricious]

Those are some good points. If we're meant to be, I'll have to learn to be patient for when she's old enough and ready for that sort of thing.
