[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. ]

I think it could totally work.

[ He is okay with capitalizing on his good points. ]

[Action]

[meilihua]

I guess it might. Sometimes people are weirdly attracted to your charm...

[Action]

[bauhinia]

There's nothing weird about it.

[Action]

[meilihua]

I mean that your charm sometimes attracts weird people then.

[Action]

[bauhinia]

I guess you're right about that.

[Action]

[meilihua]

So what's the first thing you're going to do when you take over the world?

[Action]

[bauhinia]

Bring back Bruce Lee.

[Action]

[meilihua]

So he can make more movies?

[Action]

[bauhinia]

If he wants.

[Action]

[meilihua]

Hmm...what other things do you think he might want to do?

[Action]

[bauhinia]

I dunno, but whatever they are, he oughta get a chance to do them.

[Action]

[meilihua]

I wonder if you could really get the ability to do that if you took over...

[Action]

[bauhinia]

If I couldn't do that, then I'd do something else. [ Something real. It was just a lot easier to say the other thing. ]

[Action]

[meilihua]

Hmm...if Hong Kong were in charge of running the world...

[Action]

[bauhinia]

Things would be awesome.

[Action]

[meilihua]

So are you going to tell [significant smile] before or after you take over?

[Action]

[bauhinia]

I'm still kinda deciding, y'know?

[Action]

[meilihua]

...and I guess we should worry about how we're going to get home first, huh...

[Action]

[bauhinia]

Yeah, that might be a good idea. But I mean, we'll go home eventually, right? Everyone does.

[Action]

[meilihua]

A year is a long time though...

[Action]

[bauhinia]

D'you think? [ It didn't feel too long to him, really. ]

[Action]

[meilihua]

Well, you know... some people are here for like...just a couple weeks, or months... and then there's people like you...and I've been here almost a year now too.
