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

[meilihua]

[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.]

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

[Video]

[bauhinia]

Okay, should we like, change the subject?

[Video]

[meilihua]

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

[Video]

[bauhinia]

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

[Video]

[meilihua]

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

[Video]

[bauhinia]

Yeah, you almost have to find stuff first.

[Video]

[meilihua]

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

[Video]

[bauhinia]

Let him do his own shopping? That could work.

[Video]

[meilihua]

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

[Video]

[bauhinia]

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

[Video]

[meilihua]

I know, right? Sometimes I'm pretty proud of these ideas!

[Hmm, logistics] So we can pick him up in the afternoon...

[Video]

[bauhinia]

And take him out for however long. Are we gonna eat dinner or something?

[Video]

[meilihua]

I guess we can have dinner at my place. I promised him I'd make noodles and all...

[Video]

[bauhinia]

Oh yeah? I wanna eat your noodles too. That's a good idea.

[Video]

[meilihua]

Best plan! All right, let's meet up tomorrow before we go pick Teacher up from his place, okay?

[Video]

[bauhinia]

Okay, sure. Where d'you wanna meet?

[Video]

[meilihua]

Hmm, I don't know. I could just come knock on your door?

[Video]

[bauhinia]

Works for me if it works for you. [ He gives a little shrug. ] I'm not picky.

[Video]

[meilihua]

Sounds good then! This is going to be really fun!

[Video]

[bauhinia]

For sure. [ But does he mean the "celebrating China's birthday" part or the "drag China all over the city" part.... ]

[Video]

[meilihua]

We haven't really hung out with just the three of us for a long time anyway...

[Hey, both sound great! But way deep down...

Very very deep down...

They both are pretty happy about this.]

[Video]

[bauhinia]

Yeah, that'll be interesting.

[ They can do their metaphorical filial duty. ]

[Not Here?]

[meilihua]

[God, poor China, having the raising of these two...]

[Not Here]

[bauhinia]

[ And he's supposed to be lucky...! ]
