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.)

No. I'm not interested in any of them like that.

[Voice]

[of_sablier]

None of them at all?

[Voice]

[markofthewise]

There's nothing wrong with them. I'm just. Not looking for anyone. That's all.

[Voice]

[of_sablier]

Oh, I see-- there's someone else who has captured your heart, but you don't want to name them to keep anyone else here from going after them.

[Voice]

[markofthewise]

Something like that. She went home.

[Voice]

[of_sablier]

[... well, THAT'S a mood-killer.]

... oh. I'm sorry to hear that.

[Voice]

[markofthewise]

Yeah. Dating's not really my thing. We're still engaged. Even if she won't remember it.

[Voice]

[of_sablier]

Mmm... does the memory of that really matter as long as you can be by her side?

[Voice]

[markofthewise]

It's more complicated than that.

[Voice]

[of_sablier]

But it isn't complicated at all. If the two of you care for each other, then just being together should be enough.

[Voice]

[markofthewise]

She's not here. And she might never be here again.

[Voice]

[of_sablier]

Then you'll just have to find a way to bring her back, or for you to go to where she is.

[Never mind that his own plans to dump the world into the Abyss for Lacie didn't quite go as planned.]

[Voice]

[markofthewise]

Yeah. That's the plan. [He'll stay here until he gets her back. One way or another.]

[Voice]

[of_sablier]

It sounds like you already have everything all worked out! That's good. You don't need my advice for that.

[Voice]

[markofthewise]

Uh. Well, yeah. I guess not. Thanks anyway?

[Voice]

[of_sablier]

But you know, there's still no harm in just looking.

[Voice]

[markofthewise]

Hey, I was looking. Remember that list of names? I looked.

[Voice]

[of_sablier]

Of course, of course. And that also means that everyone else is free to look as well, or maybe even more than that if they're so inclined. The more for the rest of us!

[Voice]

[markofthewise]

Look as much as they like until they get hit, anyway.

[Voice]

[of_sablier]

Ah, that's so harsh! Surely you don't expect us to have that little in the way of manners.

[Voice]

[markofthewise]

We're on a journal talking about girls with a filter so they can't see us. I think we may be past that.

[Voice]

[of_sablier]

It would be lacking manners if we were talking about it without the filter.

[Voice]

[markofthewise]

If you say so. We'll probably get busted anyway, though.

[Voice]

[of_sablier]

Mmm, I think the person who made this post will be in more trouble for this than the rest of us.

[Voice]

[markofthewise]

Yeah, I'm kinda counting on that part.
