❀ - [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.]

[Brook wipes away a tear from his eye at the beauty of the sentiment.]

That's really very sweet of you Taiwan. Yohohoho! I promise, the next time you come to see me, you'll say, "Wow, this skeleton knows how to treat his guests!" Or at least... something to that effect, in your own words. Yohoh-ughh-ack... Sorry... too much laughing... throat not cooperating.

[Brook finishes his coughing, with his sore non existent throat, but is still smiling as he wipes his eyes and nose again.]

Hooo... that's better.

[Wow, this is awkward. Taiwan seems stuck between figuring out if a glass of water or a pat on the back would be more helpful, and luckily settles on neither.

Smiling reassuringly:]

Well, it'll also be my first time being hosted by a skeleton [eep?] so that'll be interesting too!

For future reference, do you have any card games or anything you like to play?

[Action]

[meilihua]

I like most card games! And I definitely like learning new ones.

[tapdancinskelly]

Great! Maybe we can get a cool poker game going or something. Yohohoho!

[meilihua]

Wouldn't you have to invite more people to have a really fun game of poker?

[Action]

[tapdancinskelly]

Well we could invite some other people over too! Like maybe one of your siblings?

Maybe Hong Kong! It doesn't really seem much like China's game, he'd make us all play mahjong instead.
