[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.

Why do they bother?

[scimitar]

Cuz they're idiots.

[bauhinia]

Seems pretty straightforward.

[ No, no it's not! Not at all... ]

[scimitar]

Exactly!

[bauhinia]

You really think that?

[scimitar]

That they're dumb for askin'?

[bauhinia]

Yeah, basically.

[scimitar]

Sure do.

[bauhinia]

Interesting.

[scimitar]

I thought it was jus' common sense! 'Course someone's not gonna wanna be told they need to think before they speak!

[bauhinia]

If they already do that, it's usually not a problem.

[scimitar]

Cuz they're hypocrites, right.

[bauhinia]

I dunno, maybe you could look at it that way.

[scimitar]

How would you look at it?

[bauhinia]

I dunno, I didn't give it a lotta thought.

[scimitar]

Give it some!

[bauhinia]

So you're saying I should think before I speak?

[scimitar]

No way! I jus' wanna know what yer opinion on it is, if ya were to ever get one.

[bauhinia]

Well, I'd have to think about it, that's my point.

[scimitar]

Oh.

I didn' think it'd take that much thinkin'.

[bauhinia]

Maybe not. [ But he'd like to drag this out if possible. Just because. ]

[scimitar]

[WHY]

I thought ya liked doin' that. Y'know, thinkin'.

[bauhinia]

[ Because he can. ]

I do. It's good for you.

[scimitar]

A lot of it? Nahhh.

[bauhinia]

Too much of a good thing, yeah. I know.
