❀ - [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.]

Did you make these yourself, Fraulein?

And a happy birthday to China. How old is he now?

Hey thanks for the sweets.

( small smile. )

I have China's morning covered but the rest of the day is yours.

Four million, is it? But he doesn't look quite that old.

[He's visibly amused.]

And yourself? When is your birthday?

Ah. And you do not look a day over 20,000.

[He teases lightly.]

[He smiles at her kindly.]

To be honest, you look to be my age or younger. Nineteen, perhaps?

You guess? And I am not old!

[But then...]

Thank you for the mooncakes, though. They are very delicious...

Yes, but that doesn't make me old.

( normally she would say, 'okay then'. but since this was taiwan she simply had to say. )

No, you should have him for a while.

[Since sadpire is still sad.

...but cake was always acceptable, even if she didn't feel very hungry and that wasn't exactly what she thought of when "cake" came to mind.

The moon is still pretty, though.

The blotches do look like a rabbit.

Sis is so old-school. [ Haha, shut up, Hong Kong. Like you're any better. ]

中秋快乐, yeah?

[ And ironically the mun's keyboard is simplified, oops. ]
entreats: (what would it be?)

[personal profile] entreats 2012-10-01 08:56 pm (UTC)(link)
No, I'm not saying it's a bad thing. [ she shrugs to herself. ]

It's just interesting to see how people keep up traditions from back home even here.
ilyana: (Quite Pleased)

[personal profile] ilyana 2012-10-01 10:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah! So you were the one who made the delicious moon cakes?!

[Ilyana ate them all... and then was sorely tempted to ask other people for theirs as well]
