[China's sitting comfortably near his low table with a puzzled look on his face.]

Last night I had a very strange dream. I was dressed in a female Beijing Opera costume and I was singing and dancing. Maybe I drank too much at the Lantern Festival, or something, aru.

[He pauses to drink some of his green tea, which was sitting in a teacup on the low table.]

By the way, what's this I keep hearing about memories? Are you saying the dream I had was actually a memory? [Guess who hasn't had any experiences yet.]

[OOC: Hey man, this is China. Anyone is free to view memories ranging from his (lonely) childhood, to his dynasties, the wars, present day, and the Christmas he spent with Stocking here in Discedo (since that's the first and only real memory he's recalled of Discedo so far).]

Of course.

[He nods.] Then I hope you don't mind me using your kitchen. [He's already walking there, though, and taking the ingredients and cups out from the cabinet.]

[ Following behind and leaning against the doorframe with his arms crossed. ] If you need anything, let me know.

[ He knows better than to try and interfere otherwise. ]

[He hums in reply.] Let's talk while I make the tea, shall we?

[He pours the water into the teapot.]

So... what happened?

I can only tell you about August onward, because that's when I got here. I haven't gotten any memories back from the times I was here before that.

Really, so you too then? But you still remember nothing from that time?

Then why do I remember my own past times if you don't?

I dunno why. I guess it doesn't really matter, yeah?

Between what we can tell you and what you remember on your own, you'll probably have the full picture.

I... suppose.

[He checks on the tea before turning off the stove and taking the tea pot off of it.]

Please go on with what you were about to say then, Hong Kong.

All right. I got here in August. You were here already at that point— from 1937. You said you'd been here since June, so two months by the time I arrived.

[China brings the tea over, he had already poured it into two cups. He places them on the low table, one near Hong Kong and one by himself. He says nothing since he can't remember any of it at the moment, he continues listening quietly.]

You showed me around a little when I first got here— and gave me a sword, so I could take care of monsters if I needed to. [ He bows his head, saying thanks for the tea. ] I moved into an apartment by myself. Until Macau got here, I mean. We live in a new place now, with 熊猫.

A sword? May I see it?

Panda? Panda is here too? Where?

Sure thing. Panda's outside right now, but the sword's here. I'll get it. [ He wanders off briefly and then returns with the blade in its sheath, sliding it pommel first to China. ]

[He gives a nod of thanks before he takes the sword into his hands and carefully unsheathes it. He examines it carefully. It definitely wasn't made of the best steel like the ones they had back home, but it was strong enough to take a lot of beatings.]

Here. [He hands it back to Hong Kong after sheathing it once more.]

谢谢，老师. [ He bows his head again and accepts the sword, carefully setting it aside. ]

[He nods in return.]

Do you know when Panda will be back? [A little side conversation to hopefully break down some of the tension.]

Could be soon. It kinda depends on what he finds to eat. [ He glances toward the door. ]

Have you fed him apples? Because it doesn't look like there's any bamboo in this city. Perhaps we should try making the special dietary supplements we make for the ones back home in captivity.

I'm thinking about asking the scientists for some seeds. They won't grow in Discedo, but somewhere else, I think.

Maybe in Dissimulo? There's plenty of open space there.

Yeah, I think that's what Marco said.

Yes, we've had many interesting conversations. [And by interesting he means revealing, to the point where he was able to remember a few things.]

So... what is the next part of your side of the story?

Where was I? Oh yeah, when I got here and you gave me the sword. You left awhile after that, for a week, just like this last time.

And when I came back...?

You came back from 1967. I'm pretty sure you remembered everything about being here. Far as I could tell.

That's strange... If I could remember everything last time, why not now? [It was more of a question to himself rather than Hong Kong.]
