An annoyed voice of a man reply, “It better not. I don’t wish to redo all the paperwork for hundreds of people again.” “It’s fine.

G. We won't be able to see much in this darkness, and they might notice movement or a reflection off our eyes if we look. Just keep listening.

No to the disadvantage. I. Also, eavesdrop. They're talking about us after all, and it isn't eavesdropping if people are talking about you. I'm pretty sure. Trust me, it's true. So true.

A 1 B 1 C 1 G 2 Stay still, don't make voice I 2 Look around It’s not eavesdropping if they are talking about you! You trust your logical explanation and continue to eavesdrop. You continue listening to the irritated man’s retort “That may be so, but let’s not forget the turtle is also graced by the Destiny Star!” He is clearly displeased with you for some reason. Maybe it has something to do with Baba? Speaking of Baba, you look around for him. To your always-realization, turtle can actually see better than human in darkness and your turtle eyes are side way of your head, so you don’t really need to move your head much to get the 180 scooping view. The surrounding is still dimmer than before, but you recall the outline of all the same old natural structures beside the absent of a lot of stones. Baba’s stone is still tied to your string, but it’s dangling on the pond’s surface far away. Your string is still preventing it from sinking so far. “He will never figure out how to tap into his full potential.” The woman voice response casually, as if it’s just a regular day-to-day conversation. “And only a few individual in his city would have some ideas about it.” You thought about extending your head and bending backward to look at them, but your neck is currently undergoing petrification. Oh well. “Ugh, I don’t need you to remind me about them!” The man said with great displeasure as if it’s a vulgar topic. You don’t really like being slowly turning into stone, but it’s not like a turtle move much anyway, so it doesn’t really bother you that much. BUT… How will you poop now? This is troublesome indeed. The woman gave a soft chuckle, “Even if they do manage to help the child, he would have to deal with the guard I have instated.” “How reassuring.” The man said with a hint of sarcasm. You wonder why your human self always worried about so many things. It sure would be nice to sit down and relax more often. Enjoy life as it is. Watch the tree sway softly by the wind and listen to the song of the birds. Worry about more troubling things like the capability to poop from your rock bottom. “It should be sufficient for the task.” The woman reassured the man in a lighthearted voice. “You should worry more about the Lone Star’s next target.” “Hmm? Ah, yes. If destiny continues at its current path, Old Man Liu’s death should occur within one year from now.” The man went on meticulously with other birth data and astrology terms that you don’t understand. You awoke in your cabin in sweat. “Good morning.” Mantis greets you from the other side of your room with a tired expression. He’s sits cross-legs on the floor and leaning behind the wall with a few bottles of alcohol next to him. You… A) PANIC ABOUT DREAM B) Stay calm and return the greeting C) B, and offer him some water or tea D) Scream E) Lecture him for intruding your room F) Go back to sleep G) Write-in Nyaa fucked around with this message at 00:35 on Feb 4, 2016 |

You get off your bed to return the greeting and offer the man some water or tea, but he raises his jug of wine and say, “No thanks, I have my own.” And took another swing at it. Despite the numbers of jugs next to him, he looks relatively sober. “I am glad you are yourself again.” His tone is filled with relief as he places the jug down. “You were… A bit different before you went to bed, so I decided to keep an eye on your after Baba’s surgery…” There is a moment of silent. You can ask and talk to him about anything.

Slightly Lions posted:How is Baba? Snow? Li Foil? Mantis dug around for another jug, but they are all empty. He sigh, "I suppose I will have some tea." You nod and brew him a new pot of tea. In the meantime, Mantis continues his answer. "Li Foil is fine with his servant protecting him. He visited you once, and left after confirming your well-being. I didn't told him about your outburst". The water is hot enough and you pour it all over some tea leave that you have no idea what it taste like. You never have any interest in tea, but you at least know it is made through soaking tea leave in hot water and drink it in the smallest cup you can imagine, which is what you do. Hands him the smallest cup of tea you can find. Mantis settle down on a chair and took your tea gratefully. He continues answering your question. quote:Who won the fight? quote:Are we still on course? quote:Who was hurt? He paused a moment as if reflecting something in his mind. "In this kind business, there will always be injuries no matter how safe it looks. It is a harsh lesson that I have finally learned in this trip." He eyes opens and look at you with a sincere and remorseful face, "... And I am sorry for bringing you and your friend into such danger. I was a fool."

Bake the Get-Well-Noodles like we promised to yesterday. Ask him about the place we are docked at. Where are we exactly? Is there anything I should see whilst I'm here? Is there anything I could get Baba to help him? Are there any open-classes I could attend, or wandering scholars or monks around? Where is the best Noodle-shop here? Anything I should avoid or watch out for?

You folds your hand to salute him in the modern equivalent of offering an handshake. There's a few variations based on social position and event, but they will be omitted since your school taught you well on such subject. Doing it wrong in front of someone of high social standing could get you scolded or even jailed! Mantis looks up at your salute. Slowly, he returns the salute. "It is good that you did not perform a kowtow as it is the customary gesture for following under a master. For I am not knowledgeable enough to be qualify as a master-" He raise a hand to interrupt your further pleads, "BUT, as I heard from your Uncle Liu, he is searching chi masters for you. They, however, are at least capable of teaching you the basic techniques of fighting. So, I have decided, for as long as it takes for your master to arrives, I will help to train your physicality to be ready for further teaching." He grab the teacup, "This will not be a master and student relationship." And drink it whole in a final gesture of acceptance of your request. "But a training sessions between friends." He lifts the tea pot and fills up your teacup. Will you accept this offer and drink it? A) Yes.

You hold the tiny teacup with both of your hands. You raise the cup slowly and meet him at eye level. You drink it whole. “Very well, friend.” Mantis declares, “We will work out your training schedule when we return home. For now, you should have some rest and recuperation.” He gave you’re a farewell and excuse himself from your room. ------------------ It is now mid-afternoon.
