So Mayfield, I'm speaking to you today about a totally serious matter: Hong Kong SAR is looking for a new wingman.

'Cause my old one is apparently being weird with my sister and that's not cool.

I already have a girlfriend right now, but I always keep an official wingman regardless. If you like, don't know what one is already then you're

[Blinking as she looks at the box.]

For me?

[scentofbauhinia]

Sure.

[ holding it out ]

It's that time of year.

[gonnamarrydaddy]

[Opening up the box...]

Oh man, mooncakes! What's the occasion?

[scentofbauhinia]

The Mid-Autumn festival. Well, the end of it anyway. I'm kind of late this year.

action!

[partytoastess]

[ Following Hong Kong's announcement that he needs a wingman, Nena just hangs up instantly thinking this is obviously pilots only, right?

She'll just speed outside and run right towards the door, even if Hong Kong is lounging on the lawn. ]

[scentofbauhinia]

[ Nope, he's actually indoors at the moment. After a few minutes he'll answer the door. ]

Hey Nena.

...You didn't bring those ducks did you? [ hahahah he doesn't want them trashing his house okay ]

[partytoastess]

[ Nena will cheerfully giggle, ignorant to any and all implications that he doesn't like the ducks. ]

Nope!! I want to ask you something very very important Hong Kong!

[ yes, she wants to draw this out more to build anticipation. ]

[scentofbauhinia]

Oh.

Like, come in then. [ standing to one side to let her in. ]

[decadenzas]

[ambles outside to sit next to him. yep, not even a 'get your miniature festival of tomfoolery off my lawn' or anything considering he is still a little subdued by his spastic ragefit from earlier. instead he quietly reaches for one of the unlit sticks of incense.]

...It doesn't seem very long until you start hitting holidays and festivals multiple times.

[scentofbauhinia]

[ to mention the spastic ragefit or not to mention the spastic ragefit... nope he'll just hand him a match to light the incense. ]

Yeah. Not exactly reassuring is it.

[decadenzas]

[takes the match and strikes it, setting the incense stick to smoulder. he's less tense now that HK has oh so politely chosen to not mention it yet.]

There are less reassuring things here but- [a pause as he tucks his incense in with the rest] -there's certainly something unnerving about this.

I've heard there was a time in which everyone became convinced that they had been here for a decade.

[scentofbauhinia]

Oh, yeah. I heard about that.

Iceland thought he'd gotten older and been married to Liechtenstein and everyone here was all resigned to things or something like that. [ setting another incense stick down himself. ] Glad I missed it.

[beermark]

There are bars and clubs here?

[scentofbauhinia]

...Well, a bar. But it's kind of a dive.

Might change one day though.

[beermark]

Oh.

Well, beer is beer! Where is it?

[scentofbauhinia]

Downtown.

Easy enough to find. Just like, look out for Engand passed out by the door or something.

[unexculpable]

[there's an edge of disgust in Ed's voice]

... You're not being serious, right?

[scentofbauhinia]

Deadly serious. [ his tone is unreadable as ever, but there's something in it that hints he might not be. ]
