The time is so confusing here... all the differences... we don't use the... a.d. system anymore- Britannia is a.t.b., and- I was really sure next year was supposed to be the Pig... but here it's supposed to be the year of the Ox apparently... 2009... but it was supposed to be 2018 by the Britannian calender...

Doing the math like this is kind of

I've organized a party before! Ah--more than one! I could help ♥

[justasystem]

You have?!

[moe_moe_rabu]

Well. . . . Not for Chinese New Year, but for other things, yes! I could help~

[justasystem]

Really? That would be really fun, I think- Having a party!

[moe_moe_rabu]

I think so too~♥

I don't know what you need at a New Year's party, but if you tell me, I think we could plan the best party~!

[justasystem]

... oh- We need-

Lanterns... and people for a dance- And cooks! And lots of people...

[moe_moe_rabu]

Like paper lanterns? Hmm~ Those should be easy to find! And there's lots of places to eat here, so we can find cook! I don't know about finding people for a dance... Maybe we'll need to ask about that more...

But once you invite people, then you'll have lots of people ♥

[justasystem]

That sounds really good so far!

Um- Mari... Youko said?

I'm the Tianzi.

[moe_moe_rabu]

Ah--you met Youko-chan~? Yes, yes, I'm Mari~

Mmm...I still don't like thinking that you're really her...

Hello!♥ It's very nice to meet you~

[justasystem]

Nice to meet you, too!

[moe_moe_rabu]

Mm~ I lost in a game of Jankenpon a few days ago, so I have to serve the winner tea tomorrow♥

But! After that, I'll start looking for all the things we'll need~

[justasystem]

Jankenpon?

[moe_moe_rabu]

Ah--you don't know it? It's a game~ I can teach you if you don't know it~ Maybe you call it something different?

[justasystem]

How do you play?

[moe_moe_rabu]

I don't know what kind of game you'd call it... Just...a fist game, but...

You have two people playing against each other, and each person picks--secretly!--one of three things: a rock, a piece of paper, or a pair of scissors. That's the thing they're going to show the other person--with their fingers~ There are hand signs for each thing, and certain things win against the other things~ There's a fist for rock, two fingers for the scissors, and your whole hand for paper--they look like the things~!!

So~ The two people chant together for a second and at the end of the rhyme, they both show with their fingers which thing they chose. And the winner is the person whose thing is stronger ♥!

The piece of paper beats the rock because it can cover it. But the scissors beat the piece of paper because they can cut it. But the rock beats the scissors because it can crush them.

The winner is the person whose thing wins~

That was a really long explanation...but...does it make sense~?

[justasystem]

... I think I get it!
