[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.)

[A slight pause before he goes on, wondering if it's okay to divulge.]

You are right. I came to Luceti a few months ago from a time where - when we're already dating. She came to Luceti from a year behind me, when she still thought of us as being just friends. And then she lived here for over two years.

So you're in love with someone who may now never develop feelings for you.

[The wording gives a sting to his heart. He pauses before answering.]

I... yeah, it's... kinda like that.

Well, it seems your solution is pretty simple.

[...]

What do you mean?

She fell in love with you once. You just have to do the same thing you did before.

I... well... wouldn't it be like cheating to just do the same things again?

Consider that one of your sacrifices to get what you want.

[He's still not sure if it feels right, but...]

Then maybe I will try. I... I think I just have to think about it and see if it really... feels right. But... thanks, Ling.

Good luck, whoever you are. I still intend to try my luck as well.

Oh, my name's Aang. [He already knows so much about his love life, no use hiding his name as well.] I don't know if I can say it's nice to meet you, but... in this case, I guess I just have to hope that one of us can make her happy. [...And that it'll be me.]

Very well, Aang. May the best man win.

Yeah, something like that.

[This can only go so very wrong.]
