ode to an icecube

some people say i'm tsun
but i don't think it's true
some people say i'm crazy
so yeah i'm crazy for you

okay so you're kinda an icecube
but i think you'll probably melt real soon
this line's about sea cucumbers
this line's about the moon

so we don't have much in common
we're in different hemispheres
you've gotta a lotta geothermal activity
i've got tons of skyscrapers

hey that didn't really rhyme
but here you go: my GDP's amazing
you can bet i'm the best when it comes
to investing i'm a total tax haven

that's a total lie and it didn't rhyme either
i kinda suck at poetry but i'm totally sincere
even though my expression's lacking, hey
i'll be your arthur if you'll be my guinevere

i pulled that off a lot better before
when it was a helen of troy joke
not that i'm referencing trojans here
but i still think i'm a pretty handsome bloke

give me one more chance
i'll really set you reeling
i was totally serious before y'know
i wanna know how you're feeling

[ no this isn't about anyone in particular why would you think that
also why am i posting this, why didn't someone stop me ]

[bauhinia]

Sure, I can make something. What d'you want, chocolate or fruit or what?

[action; Cantonese!]

[eastmontecarlo]

Something with dairy sounds best.

[action; Cantonese!]

[bauhinia]

Pudding, yogurt, ice cream? Something like that?

[action; Cantonese!]

[eastmontecarlo]

Oh...

Pudding. [ He loves pudding, okay. ]

[action; Cantonese!]

[bauhinia]

I was kinda thinking you might say that. Maybe I'm psychic, yeah? [ Time to...



Make.

The.

Pudding. ]

[action; Cantonese!]

[eastmontecarlo]

[ Yeah. Cooking's not so easy, huh. ]

Do you think so?

[action; Cantonese!]

[bauhinia]

[ Difficult, no. Intense, yes. ]

Well, it could be true.

[action; Cantonese!]

[eastmontecarlo]

Perhaps we should test it.

Can you guess what I'm thinking?

[action; Cantonese!]

[bauhinia]

Stop thinking about pudding first.

[action; Cantonese!]

[eastmontecarlo]

Oh, you're very good...

[action; Cantonese!]

[bauhinia]

No, that time was just because I was thinking about pudding too. Wish we had mangos.

[action; Cantonese!]

[eastmontecarlo]

Or water buffalo milk and ginger...

[action; Cantonese!]

[bauhinia]

I don't know if Fortuna has water buffalo.

[action; Cantonese!]

[eastmontecarlo]

I see... Do you think we could make pastéis de nata?

[action; Cantonese!]

[bauhinia]

Man, I wish. They'd be better with fresh eggs.

[action; Cantonese!]

[eastmontecarlo]

Perhaps you should turn back into a phoenix! [ Yes. That was his attempt at joke-telling. ]

[action; Cantonese!]

[bauhinia]

Wow, if only. I miss it, y'know. [ Being a bird was fun, okay?! ]

[action; Cantonese!]

[eastmontecarlo]

But you couldn't speak.

[action; Cantonese!]

[bauhinia]

You understood me well enough.

[action; Cantonese!]

[eastmontecarlo]

Only because I've known you for such a long time. Others would struggle more.

[action; Cantonese!]

[bauhinia]

Maybe so. Like, I'm not questioning that you know me better than most people. I dunno how other people'd react.

[action; Cantonese!]

[eastmontecarlo]

Perhaps it'd be best if you had the ability to control it, then, so you could switch back and forth fluidly and prevent miscommunications.

[action; Cantonese!]

[bauhinia]

Plus that'd just be awesome. [ Most important point, clearly. ]

[action; Cantonese!]

[eastmontecarlo]

[ A gentle laugh! Hong Kong, you so silly. ]

It would be, wouldn't it?

[action; Cantonese!]

[bauhinia]

[ He is. He's the silliest. ]

Totally.
