[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. ]

Yeah, you're fine for now. The realization'll hit you in time, everyone experiences it.

Hey, where's your tap, I need a big fucking drink. [ He shakes his empty water bottle. ]

[bauhinia]

Is that so? [ He beckons for Suigetsu to follow him back to the kitchen, then points out the sink, leaning against the counter. ]

[liquidate]

[ He follows and monopolizes the sink soon after. ] Ah, thanks! [ He fills his water bottle and sips happily from it. ] So whaddaya do for fun 'round here?

[bauhinia]

No problem. [ Crossing his arms and looking at the ceiling. ] Depends. I draw a lot. Explore. People come by for lessons sometimes.

[liquidate]

Lessons-... ohhhhh right. Foreign language lessons and shit. You teach a bunch?

[bauhinia]

More lately. A few languages, some martial arts, that kinda stuff. Drawing. I teach drawing.

[liquidate]

We should swap techniques! I am always okay with martial arts.

[And sometime down the line, ENGLISH. He'll snap one day. ]

[bauhinia]

Sure, but I think my stuff's gonna be way less interesting than yours. [ He is only a ninja in his mind. ]

[ He'll realize that learning a language Sasuke learned is probably a good idea? That way Sasuke can't talk about him behind his back. ]

[liquidate]

Probably, but learning cool shit is always a good idea!

[bauhinia]

Yeah, right? I guess we'll never know 'til we try.

[liquidate]

Damn straight!!!

[bauhinia]

Like I said, tell me when and where and we'll do it.

[liquidate]

Anytime, anywhere, man! I am always ready for some action.

[bauhinia]

But not now, yeah?

[liquidate]

Nope! Today is for celebration! Unless you want your present to be sparring!

[bauhinia]

Yeah, much as that'd be interesting, probably oughta wait a little.

[liquidate]

You're callin' the shots today!

[bauhinia]

Okay, gotcha. D'you wanna eat something?

[liquidate]

Of course! Whaddaya got?

[bauhinia]

I can make a couple of things. D'you like rice or noodles better?

Or like, bread?

you're spoiling him, all of sasuke's progress is being undone HAHA

[liquidate]

I love noodles! [ He follows the other closely whenever he decides to pop into the kitchen. ] Soft noodles~ in soup!

o o p s

[bauhinia]

That I can totally do. I'm gonna have to dig around and see what meat I have though.

GYAHAHA

[liquidate]

You're so nice, Hong Kong.

[ He flits over to the table and wriggles into the seat, happily sipping his water. ]

So as a place, you also represent your place's food and cooking ability, then?

kdjsg indeed

[bauhinia]

I don't hear that much.

[ Looking through the fridge now. ]

Yeah, you got it.

[liquidate]

How come? [ Hand on cheek. ]

Are you known for your food then?
