(( The sepia-toned face on the screen is pale with dark, curious eyes. There's something in the curve of his lips that isn't quite a smile, yet it is. Overall it's a pleasant expression on a pleasant face. ))

I'm curious. Who else got up close and personal with the Emperor at his, ah, party.

Do you consider it an achievement?

[ Someone is Confused as to why this is announced. ]

Re: [Video] un: songzichen

[soakedinvinegar]

I do. I'm a collector of sorts.

[tobrushawaysnow]

Of those you consider attractive?

I heard things about the party, but I didn't know ya could get close to the emperor!

There's an emperor here? Wow! Sure hope he's not anythin' like how Garlemald's emperor was!

[soakedinvinegar]

Mostly, but also those with influence. Not that I flatter myself by thinking he'll remember.

[tobrushawaysnow]

I see.

You are hard to forget.

[soakedinvinegar]

You didn't go? It was very entertaining.

[protectorofsmiles]

Yeah so I heard. And saw

The aftermath

All over a friend's bodyA-anyroad, sounds like things were wild in there! I was busy huntin' a bounty! Erm, well, not hunt, more like knock out and turn in alive, but yeah!

[soakedinvinegar]

You wouldn't forget me, would you A-Chen?

[soakedinvinegar]

How exciting! Do you enjoy bounty hunting?

[tobrushawaysnow]

[ His gaze drops - he'd be blushing if he were able to. ]

No. I won't forget you.

[protectorofsmiles]

Weeeeellll not really! I'm not wild about huntin' folks, but they were dangerous and harmin' innocents! I'm relied on a lot back home for dealin' with trouble like this, so I had to take it! Besides, I owe a lot to Granny, who gave me food and home when I came here to Nippon, so I wanted to pay her back somehow. She needed a new oven and other house repairs, so the bounty reward helped a lot!

...What about yerself? You into that sorta thing?

[soakedinvinegar]

(( Kexing can't help smiling at the shyness. ))

No need to be shy, A-Chen. We're very good friends now.

[soakedinvinegar]

I only fight if I have to. I can fight, I just don't enjoy it terribly.

It sounds like you've made yourself quite at home here. Have you been here long?

[protectorofsmiles]

[Genbu can relate. The warrior of light title was put upon him after all, not a title he sought himself. To be made to fight when all you wanted to do is craft and entertain...]

Hehe, I guess I have! Let's see...the locals were celebratin' the new year when I arrive, on the first astral moon, so that makes...

[Genbu freezes.]

Five moons...damn, I've been here five moons...

{Ah the dangerous Ghost Lord. Scorpion smiles and gives him a small bow. Respect is expected, isn't it?}

I wasn't interested.

The... The Emperor? A-Xing... [Someone is flustered and amazed.]

[vapelife]

Yeah, man, great party, wasn't it?

[The dark skinned man in the video pours himself a cup of wine, which he begins enjoying immediately.]

My dad, Lord Zeus, taught me hospitality is important, yeah? So whenever a kingdom shows me good hospitality, I, you know, like to spend some time with the rulers, if you get what I'm saying.

Re: video; un: winedad

[soakedinvinegar]

(( Unfortunately, Greek mythos is not something with which Kexing is familiar, so the name 'Zeus' means nothing to him. However, he smiles warmly at the stranger and nods in agreement. ))

I understand completely! Hospitality is so important.

[soakedinvinegar]

(( Oh no, he's cute! ))

My A-Xu and I enjoyed time with him together.

[soakedinvinegar]

(( Kexing nods in turn. ))

In the party or the Emperor?

[soakedinvinegar]

So long...

Is anyone from your world here?

[protectorofsmiles]

Yup! A young lady who's an Au Ra like me! Though she is Xaela, a blackscale, but she wasn't born on the steppes, so callin' her a dragon won't be a death wish! Haha...still best to not compare her to a dragon. It's kinda insensitive for horned folk like us. A-anyroad, she arrived much later, I think about a moon or so ago?

How about yerself? Did ya come here with anyone? Or find anyone here?

[soakedinvinegar]

My soulmate arrived at the same time as I. I am very fortunate that fate chose to bring us together once more.

(( He pauses before canting his head in curiosity. ))

Au Ra, that is what your people are called? I've never seen anyone like you before.

The Emperor. {He stretches out like a hard-to-please feline.}
