feetoffury | First Brawl: Round Two, FIGHT! [Action/Video]

[Agent Chun-Li was not going to be amused, at all. Suddenly waking up, sopping wet, was not her idea of a good time. And she couldn't help but shake the feeling that this was not the first time. She drowsily stirred, trying to shake off the heat of the hot spring and blearily make her way to out of the water. What is my life she thinks to herself, looking around the oddly familiar bathhouse for some sign of where she might be. Grumbling, she roots around until she finds a towel and thankfully her qipao had been folded up on a nearby table. On top of a familiar looking book...with her name written on it.

THAT got a low groan...and the detective flopped down to review.]

Ugh. Luceti.

[Not long after that, a Video came up over the network. Now dressed, dried and with her hair done up in proper ox-horns, the Interpol Agent coughed and stood before the camera, arms clasped in front of her.]

Good afternoon everyone. My name is Agent Chun-Li, and for those of you who remember me, hello!

If you don't, then allow me to introduce myself. I'm a police officer from Interpol, and I spent some time here during the last summer it seems. Back home I spend my free time teaching kung-fu and other sorts of wu-shu. I'm originally from Hong-Kong, but I've spent a lot of time travelling the last few years. Keeping busy with work, you know? My memory of being here before is pretty clear now that I've had the chance to go through the journal again, so don't hesitate to contact me if you want to talk or you need help.

I'm hoping not too much has changed in town, I can definitely remember this place having some really good food. And...I've gathered that it's getting getting into November so I guess that means it's going to get cold soon? Anyone who's been here through winter mind telling me what I need to be prepared for? I don't usually get outside the cities too much back home.

Anyway, it's nice to be back I suppose. If you see me wandering around town, don't be a stranger, alright? I don't bite.

[Chun-Li bows politely and cuts off the feed. She can be found around town, at the Clothing Shop, Item Shop, various restaurants, the Welcome Center, and the Smithy to collect her bracelets as well.]

(ooc: Tag her wherever you like, around town, at the hot springs, over the journal. I'm cool with whatever, break all the time you want!)

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Yea, I have. From the looks of things in the journals, I've been gone a while though.

[Chun-Li shrugs and peers into the camera]

Those all sound like good ideas, really. In a rustic place like this, who knows what can happen?

Indeed. There's no telling what will happen. When you think you're prepared, you're really not. And when you think things can't get any worse...

[They often do.]

Nope. Murphy's Law and all that.

[Irrepressible, this one.]

But that doesn't mean you can't make the best of any given situation.

That's about all we can do to move on.

Yea.

[Her eyebrow quirks]

Are you always this dour with strangers? Or have we met before and I'm forgetting you? Sorry if I am.

Edited 2012-11-05 19:05 (UTC)

This is how I am. I prefer to be honest.

And no, I don't believe we've met before. I am called Saleh.

Well, there's being honest, and there's having tact. No offense, but I did just return.

[This is how she is, honest.]

But it's nice to meet you, Saleh. My name is Chun-Li.

Chun-Li...

[Apparently he hasn't quite recovered from the draft as well as he'd thought yet. And he's still not sure how he's offended her. So he finds himself at a loss for words, his gaze wandering off from the camera.]

Saleh, when you meet someone, do you try and leave a positive impression or a negative one?

...

I prefer to leave a positive impression, but...

[He trails off, not really wanting to dump his personal burden on her.]

Then maybe you should smile more? Loosen up. You're alive, and you need to put your best foot forward or you're just going to alienate yourself.

So that's why you're...?

I'm sorry. Last week was horrible...for me, and for many others. I didn't want to dump my burden on you, however...since you have just arrived.

[And there's his tact.]

I'm not offended and I didn't mean to chew your head off, but you get it now?.

I'm sorry you had a hard week. I know what that's like, believe me.

What happened?

We were drafted last week, to battle the Third Party. However, an infection began to run rampant, turning victims into...something else. They attacked and bit people, to spread the infection. Some people did manage to create a cure in the end, but for some of my friends, it was too late. Food and water were scarce in the last few days of the draft.

I made it back alive, but barely. I felt so hollow inside...both physically and emotionally.

Stars, Marco told me about that.

I'm sorry to hear it, Saleh.

[Not...sure what to say to that, really...]

It's fine...there's not much that can be done at this point. It's over now, so...all that's left is to move on.

[Even though he's still struggling with it a bit.]

[Sounds like someone needs a therapist...]

Well, you're alive. Your friends will be back. Make the best out of the situation you're given. That's what my father always told me.

[Most of the time he is the therapist. There's not much advice that others can give that he doesn't already know and give to others.]

I'm aware of this. I just need time.

Right.

[Geez, she's new Saleh.]

Well, if there's something I can do to help?

[It's easy to forget that when she's so outgoing and has been here before.]

No...but...thank you.

Yea, sure. No problem.

[Cheer up, Saleh. It'll go a long, long way]
