mười chín ❀| it's quiet and loud; no one hears it but us

[lotuslife]

Xin chào, Mayfield. I hope you find yourselves well following the party which just occurred. [Well, not really. She doesn't actually care; she's just saying it to be polite- not that you can tell, as her tone is warm and placid. Onward to the actual point of this phone call:]

My anh- brother- China, has returned, as many of you may already know.

[OFF TO WORK

when he spots vietnam

drawing something on china's front door... this requires closer inspection

walking over and what the hell]

...

[lotuslife]

[finishes another with a flourish

aren't you suddenly glad you weren't around in the 3rd century?]

[scentofbauhinia]

[yes

pause. how does he word this question?]

...Why are you drawing gau on his door? [very very vulgar cantonese swear word meaning dick 8|]

[lotuslife]

[winces at his phrasing. if he were close enough she'd be yanking his ear] Have you not read any history books? [pfffft she does not expect him to have read that far back or even care at all]

[scentofbauhinia]

I don't really care enough. [fff yeah you hit the nail on the head

if the history isn't covered in one of japan's video games then he's not interested]

[lotuslife]

Then it will be forever a mystery. [MAYBE A LITTLE BUTTHURT

she turns back to the door and begins to draw another [CENSORED], except this one has a little bauhinia next to it, aw. and it's wearing knock-off sunglasses. you can tell because the price tag says $2 (this is extravagantly expensive to Viet, though).]

[scentofbauhinia]

[looking.......]

...I would never wear sunglasses that cheap.

[lotuslife]

That is a an entire week's salary.

[scentofbauhinia]

...Really? [honestly baffled!

nah he has been poor before obviously, but it's just funny to troll her] I buy gum for that amount in my house.

[lotuslife]

[makes a disgusted sound and turns back to the door and her glorious State Approved Artwork]

[scentofbauhinia]

[starts drawing a [CENSORED] with a paddle and straw hat on it

DON'T ASK WHY HE HAS A MARKER ON HIS PERSON OKAY, HE JUST DOES]

[lotuslife]

[turns

stares

ELBOWS HIM IN THE SIDE this is her door]

[scentofbauhinia]

[oof

winces

but then stares at her face with a worried expression, like there's a huge festering boil on it or something]

Viet......

[lotuslife]

[wh-what is that expression]

...Yes?

[scentofbauhinia]

There's something on your face...

Looks bad. [moving closer to peer at whatever it is]

[lotuslife]

[moves away when he comes closer]

I am truly not interested in being kissed by you again. Please stay away.
