discedo | ❀ - [Video/Action] - 第五 [中秋節; Mid-Autumn Festival, Discedo]

[Hopefully by now, most people on Fortuna have somehow received a prettily wrapped package containing four different varieties of home-made mooncake outside their doorstep. Those within Discedo had them hand-delivered; everyone else...hope they made it...]

Hey everyone! I know things have been really crazy recently, but if you have a chance [pause] and are in someplace where it's safe to do it [pause...], you should definitely go outside and take a look up at the moon! If you squint really closely, maybe you'll see Chang'e ( 嫦娥), the moon goddess who lives there, or the Jade Rabbit making medicine!

[A soft, kind of wistful laugh] At least, that's what I would say if we were at home...

Anyway, I hope all my packages made it safely, but even if it's not the same moon, you can definitely still eat the mooncake! There's 4 kinds: lotus-paste, red bean, green tea, and chocolate! Just for variety.

I included egg-yolk in a few of them, but you don't have to eat it if you don't like it.

[Oh wait...] Yeah, and I guess it's China's birthday tomorrow too.

祝你生日快樂，老師！ You're still old, by the way!

Oh, and I don't care if you changed to simplified, you're still going to have to get all your greetings in traditional from me! [Yes, Taiwan did just stick her tongue out in the video. How mature.]

Right?

But what about like, Egypt? He's pretty old.

He doesn't really act that old though...

You know how Teacher can get... all [trying to imitate his voice and failing. Badly] ow my back, things are changing too fast and all...

And he's always talking about the past. Like, that's done and all, right? I get that being retrospective's a thing and all, but he goes way overboard.

Yeah, seriously. [You're the best bro, bro.] We need to knock him out of that, right?

How're we gonna do it though? [ Other than via the use of relatively harmless but potentially dangerous explosives? ]

Too bad we can't airlift him into the wilderness or something so he can get back to a simpler life...

You want him to become a hermit or ascetic or something?

Well, if we plan it right, we can leave him there for a while and see how he likes doing without all the weird modern-day changes, right?

I'd totally die without internet and stuff. I dunno how I survived so long without it.

I know, right? Well...I don't know about dying...

Okay, pretty close to it. I was in shock the first week I was here or something because my phone was dead.

Guess it's a good thing we have these communicators...

Yeah, it is. I think I might've totally lost it without one.

I do miss my laptop, and music player, and all those dramas...

You're not going through withdrawal not knowing what's happening with all your shows, are you?

I'm trying really really hard not to think about it too much-!

Okay, should we like, change the subject?

Only if you have any good ideas about what to give Teacher...

I dunno. What does he need, that's the question.

It's so hard to think of something... and then to try and find it here...

Yeah, you almost have to find stuff first.

Hey...why don't we just drag Teacher around until he finds his own present?

Let him do his own shopping? That could work.

Yeah, and then we can just get it for him! [Poor China /sobs]

That's a good idea, sis. [ Yes, poor China.... ]
