[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).]

...When you speak that way. Perhaps it would be better if no one from my world came to yours at all and vice versa. It would be a disaster if our two worlds met. Most likely it would end with the deaths of both of them, aru.

Then again, when I travel alone, I tend to keep a low profile. No one outside the government are to know of our true identities, aru. Surely it would be fine if I posed as a commoner.

[Wry grin, OOPS. Too late. Marco already intends to make it to Japan's world, and change all of human history to make it work for him if he has to. Yup.]

Perhaps, but that depends where you want to live too. And do you really think you could manage that kind of lifestyle China, much less maintain it very long?

[gochuugoku]

[A dry laugh.]

Well, I spent nearly two centuries being stomped on by other Nations. I didn't even live like a commoner then, I was more like a peasant, or a slave even. So, yes, I believe I could maintain it for awhile.

[Quiet frown.] The tenryuubito keep slaves. All the nations banned it, but the world nobles are rather above the countries' laws you could say. Especially since their whims set the world governments' laws.

If they discovered you didn't age despite time and hard work, that's a very real danger.

[Grits his teeth. He might have gotten too personal there. Oops. And there's a light tell-tale fidget with his anklet.]

[gochuugoku]

It's a danger in my world too, that's why I constantly move around the country. I can do the same there.

[fierybluebird]

[Nods his head.]

If you're sure... [He doesn't sound so convinced himself, but he's not going to try to keep convincing China how hard it is. After all, he wouldn't listen to anyone else telling him how hard something was.]

[gochuugoku]

Cheer up, Marco. When time does come to the point where we can travel amongst other worlds, I'll give you a personal tour of my country! I'm sure Kiku would do the same.

[fierybluebird]

I appreciate that China-san.

[fierybluebird]

I'd offer to give you a tour as well, but I'm not sure what islands will belong to who. Maybe when everything quiets down, eh? If it all quiets down...

[gochuugoku]

Then I will await anxiously for that time to come.

[fierybluebird]

And with luck it actually will.
