[Mulan's visage flickers onto the screen. She looks.... distressed, shocked, vulnerable. You can tell even before she begins to speak that this was meant to be a private message. Oops.]

Kuzco...

[She takes a deep breath.]

I need to talk with you. Meet me in our room in an hour.

[She gives the camera a small, weak smile before really pressing

[Private Video]

[captainfrowny]

[Shang raises a brow, of course.]

About what? If it was about the snowmen, I already heard.

...good to see that you guys didn't really get hurt, though.

[Private Video]

[honor2usall]

[She laughs. Weakly]

I wasn't fortunate enough to get caught up in the snowmen incident...

[Her smile falls...]

I suppose your letter is late then. This... This is better said in person. Where are you so we can meet?

[Private Video]

[captainfrowny]

I'm currently in my room, as of this moment. I just got back from having to serve the emperor for a bit.

[Yep, brow is still raised, and he now gets slightly worried.]

...is something the matter, Mulan?

[Private Video] ----> Action.

[honor2usall]

It's not that anything is wrong-- it's just---

[She waves her hands in front of the camera, a nervous tick and then starts her sentence again.]

I'll be over in a second, okay?

[The video feed shuts off and a few minutes later you will hear two confident knocks on your door, Shang.]

[veedeeohs]

[hoooly_ship]

Hey sweetheart, you just sent that to everybody.

[SURPRISED YOU CAN STILL TALK TO ME TULIO~]

[honor2usall]

[FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF--She is flushed red.]

Wh--What? I didn't mean to--!

[Face meet palm. NICE TO MEET YOU ONCE AGAIN]

Great...just great....

[Yeah you know what? HE'S GETTING USED TO IT.]

[hoooly_ship]

Yeaaaaaah. Whoops.

[FINE.]

[honor2usall]

Sorry about that.... I'm just a bit...

[Urgghh... what was the right word for it...]

Distracted right now. I'll try not to send out private messages to everyone next time....

[....so distracted that she's being more formal with Tulio apparently...]

[fearthefool]

Who's Kuzco?

Re: [video]

[honor2usall]

[BLINKBLINKBLINK. WHO THE----H---Nevermindwhatever]

My... roommate.....?

[video]

[fearthefool]

Oh, your roommate. Yes, now I see.
And which one is your roommate?

[video]

[honor2usall]

...Um... if you know him... He'd be loud, obnoxious, wear red... he's an emperor....

[...yeaup that's all she's got for the "defining traits of Kuzco Department....]

[llamafaaaace]

[BOOM. THE DOOR IS - opened by hand. Kuzco arrives about twenty minutes late with some kind of bagel in his mouth.

And....it looks like he has a book under his arm. The Miss. Manners books and etiquette bibles had to be returned or he'd start getting fined or something for late fees. It was dumb but there was noooooo way he was paying to keep a book. Bleh.

Or maybe not bleh - after all he'd checked out another book.]

Never fear, Kuzco's here.

[honor2usall]

[Mulan looks up from where she sits on the bottom bunk...slightly surprised...in her hands is a massacred tissue paper. She takes a breath to speak but... then looks down to the side... biting her lip.]

I--

[Her sentence stops short. She's quiet for just a bit longer before:]

You should sit down.

[llamafaaaace]

[...This was weird. This was really weird. Kuzco stared at the tissue paper and raised an eyebrow.]

Do I have to sit or is this an optional thing?

[Because really, he thought somewhere in the back of his head, that if he sat he wouldn't be able to get up and walk away if he wanted.

Which he felt like, if Mulan asked him to sit, he would defiantly want to leave later.]

[honor2usall]

[she smiles forlornly and takes a hand through her hair, pushing it out of her face and over her shoulder]

You... may want to.

[tiatiatiatiatia]

Mulan...?

What's wrong between you and Kuzco?

[Relationship drama? Lottie's all over that.]

VIDEO FOR NAOOO

[honor2usall]

[Mulan had been startled out of her thoughts by Lottie's voice from her comm. She sat in the dance studio, away from people, away from Kuzco... She picks up the device and contemplates what she's going to say for a moment before settling on a weak smile and sending a message]

I had to break up with him.

WHOOOOOOOO

[tiatiatiatiatia]

What?! Why?!

I thought you two were in love!

[honor2usall]

[Mulan sucked in a deep breath and rubbed a hand across her face]

I'm engaged to Shang now. I can't be with Kuzco.
