.057 wishes [video; backdated to yesterday]

[dreamgranter]

[There is a witch sprawled out on her couch, wearing what appears to be a dragon-themed outfit of some sort and looking more than a little depressed.]

What kind of New Year is this? No firecrackers, not a single red scroll and absolutely no feast at all. And you didn't even bother to clean the house, either! Have you not learned anything?

[Here, have a very dramatic sigh.] Bad children. Very bad children. Don't come crying to me if the Nian tries to gobble you up whole!

Actually, I did all of those things, even the fireworks. Now all that has to be done is have a dinner with my family, aru.

Still, it's good to see that the New Year hasn't been completely forgotten despite all that strange broadcast about those animals.

[dreamgranter]

Whaaaaaaaat? And I didn't get invited? That's so mean, China-kun~! [FORGET ABOUT THE STRANGE BROADCASTS THIS IS SERIOUS BUSINESS]

[video]

[gochuugoku]

[Awkward silence.]

O-Oh... So I knew you last time I was here as well then? [He rubs the back of his head.] Forgive me, but I can't remember my previous stays at the moment and I still don't know why exactly.

[He puts on a shaky smile.] B-But if you'd like, you could come over, there's still food left, aru!

[Note that though he still has a thick Chinese accent, his English sounds better than it did before.] Um, but do you mind telling me your name again?

[video]

[dreamgranter]

Offering me leftover food with that face, and you don't even remember my name, either... Bad China-kun, very bad...

[Don't mind her, she's being overly dramatic because she saw this a chance to further troll him. Although she does take insult from being offered meager leftovers.]

[gochuugoku]

Ah, n-no! I didn't mean to cause any offense! You know better than I that resources her are scarce, not to mention rather cheap. If I had the means, I would have made an even better feast than the one I made days before, the streets would be filled with dragon and lion dancers, and a glorious fireworks show would erupt in the night sky, aru!

[Then he hangs his head a bit, sighing.] If I had the means, but the scientists are such a displeasure to talk to.

[video]

[dreamgranter]

That, I can agree with. Having a proper New Year celebration is the least we deserve for putting up with them for so long!

[video]

[gochuugoku]

Exactly! There was barely enough food to make a decent feast!

...But I pulled it off somehow. [He smiles slightly.] Still, I wished that I could have made a nian gao. I didn't have enough rice this year, though.

[He has two sacks back in his apartment, but he'd rather wait until the weather warms up so he can grow some more.]

[video]

[dreamgranter]

[... oh. Oh, why did you have to go and mention food, man.]

Oh, what wouldn't I give for delicious nian gao-- and jau gok and jiaozi and yusheng, too~! So many delicacies, so little time~!

[video]

[gochuugoku]

Yes, yes, exactly! Oh, if only I had the proper resources!

[video]

[dreamgranter]

You must find them, find them noooooooow! [LMAO ICON AND KEYWORDS APPROPRIATE.]

[video]

[gochuugoku]

It's not that easy. I can't even plant the rice I have sitting here in my apartment until the weather warms up, aru. Then there's barely enough ingredients to make a dozen jau gok.

[video]

[dreamgranter]

[... why do you people take Yuuko seriously. No, really. Don't feed the troll, man.]

I'm sure you can find a way. Are you or are you not the great China-kun, after all?

[video]

[gochuugoku]

[Because he can't remember that she's a troll. Isn't it obvious?]

Of course I am, but this chip is keeping me from reaching my full potential.

[video]

[dreamgranter]

[... poor unfortunate soul.]

One would expect you to be trying to get it removed, in that case.

[video]

[gochuugoku]

[In pain, in need.]

Of course, but I've been busy with other things, such as New Years and trying to remember my previous stays. I was thinking about trying to take it out myself, but I was advised by the one called Cube not to.

Though, there are people who are willing to teach me on how to perform surgery. I already know how to perform acupuncture, cupping therapy, and make herbal medicines.

[video]

[dreamgranter]

[They come crawling in-- OKAY NO]

I can't say this chip isn't an inconvenience, more often than not. But there are also times when it's useful.

In the end, the choice to take it out or not is yours alone.

[video]

[gochuugoku]

[SPOIL SPORT]

So I've heard, but I think I prefer it to be out. It makes me feel so... vulnerable.

[video]

[dreamgranter]

Well, then. I suppose that should be taken care of soon. [Guess who can do it.]

[video]

[gochuugoku]

Do you have any suggestions as to who I should go to? [Not getting the hint.]

[video]

[dreamgranter]

Just the one. [GDIT CHINA COULD YOU BE MORE DENSE?]

[video]

[gochuugoku]

You? What's the price? []Yes, he could. /troll]

[video]

[dreamgranter]

That's something to be discussed in person rather than over communicators.

[video]

[gochuugoku]

Very well then, in fact, that's something I prefer myself. When and where would you like to meet?

[video]

[dreamgranter]

I'm always available. Time is something I have to spare in this place.

[And she means that in more ways than one, sob.]
