[fourteenth fragrance] backdated video; August 9th

[bauhinia]

[ Hong Kong has his comm set up for a completely intentional, confessional style video. He's not wandering around or flicking things into buckets of water or filming himself blowing something up. Well, he ought to do that eventually, but not today. ]

So, hey. I didn't realize it yesterday because of all the celebrating and stuff, but it looks like it's been a year since I got here. Doesn't really feel like it. I mean, I seriously never thought I was gonna be here for that long.

Even though it's not that long, I guess. Anyway, I'm just posting this because I kinda wanted to say thanks to everyone. I know this place is like, super ridiculous sometimes, but there's a lotta people who work hard to make it better for us.

So, thanks.

And don't laugh, okay? I'm being serious here.

[ With that, he looks aside, seeming kind of embarrassed. He then ends the feed. ]

Nope, you always love parties. I guess the cookies can be my contribution then...

[Action]

[bauhinia]

If you wanna. I mean, you're obviously invited and everything.

[Action]

[meilihua]

Aww thanks, I wasn't sure of my welcome.

[Action]

[bauhinia]

You are kidding, right?

[Action]

[meilihua]

I figured I'd get bonus points with the cookies.

[Action]

[bauhinia]

You kinda know me too well.

[Action]

[meilihua]

Maybe just a little bit. [ v ^_^ v ]

[Action]

[bauhinia]

Don't you know you're not supposed to abuse that kinda thing too often?

[Action]

[meilihua]

Hey, I brought cookies, didn't I?

[Action]

[bauhinia]

That's true. [ He looks at the cookies. Then back to her. ] Better put those in the kitchen.

[Action]

[meilihua]

[o7] You got it! [Marching past him to the kitchen.]

[Action]

[bauhinia]

Thanks, sis. [ Watching her go. Woman on a mission there.... ]

[Action]

[meilihua]

[Wow, bro, why is your kitchen so messy?]

You know, I'm not sure there's room...

[Action]

[bauhinia]

[ His kitchen? Messy? Never! It's full of food, but never messy. ]

Sorry, there's a lotta leftovers. By the stove there?

[Action]

[meilihua]

Hm, I guess... [It seems kind of precarious...]

[Action]

[bauhinia]

It'll be okay. [ He wanders over to move a covered dish onto the stove itself. ]

[Action]

[meilihua]

How are you going to eat all of this anyway?

[Action]

[bauhinia]

I'm not.

I mean, I'm gonna give some away. And Macau'll help too.

[Action]

[meilihua]

Need any help packing stuff up then?

[Action]

[bauhinia]

That'd be great, actually. I mean, if you wanna.

[Action]

[meilihua]

Sure! Anything I can help with.

[Action]

[bauhinia]

All right, uh, I think I just wanna divide it up evenly. There's paper plates, so we could like, put a little of everything on each one?

[Action]

[meilihua]

Do we have foil or plastic wrap?

[Action]

[bauhinia]

Somewhere. Hang on, I'll grab it. [ Going over to one of the cupboards and opening it. ]

[Action]

[meilihua]

...You have a lot of stuff in your cabinets.
