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.)

[A pause.] ...no, not really. [But this is also the kid who doesn't exactly feel naturally drawn to anyone that isn't directly related to him.] I guess I kind of get it though. I have friends that have been in love.

[avaricious]

Are you saying you can't even think of any girls you like?

[perplexme]

I don't know if it's really a like, but she's a cool girl.

[avaricious]

Well, don't be shy with the details. Who is she?

[perplexme]

Well...her name's Naoto. Naoto Shirogane. Know her?

[avaricious]

No, I've never heard of her. What's she like?

[perplexme]

She's great. She's more like a boy than a girl, so she's a lot easier to get along with than most of the girls I've ever met. She's really smart...she's a detective.

[avaricious]

So you don't much care for feminine girls, do you?

[perplexme]

They're way too complicated. I don't get make-up and I don't get what's so hard about choosing an outfit. Can't it just be simple? Feminine girls are anything but simple.

[avaricious]

Perhaps you should try savoring the mystery some more. Understanding things is overrated in my opinion.

[perplexme]

How can understanding be overrated? Wouldn't you want to know as much as you could?

[avaricious]

Certainly, but not all at once. After all, if you intend to spend your life with someone, I'm sure it would be nice to continue to be surprised.

[perplexme]

But what if it's a bad surprise?

[avaricious]

No one ever said marriage was easy.

[perplexme]

Then why get married?
