w1 monday

[liuli]

[ monday afternoon finds gu yun standing at the door to the opium den, staring at the tigers on the walls, his arms folded. the look on his face is sort of indescribable; he's got his monocle on today, though! fashion.

hearing footsteps, he glances back, though, and gives yuri a sup nod. ]

[aubins]

[ sup fantasy steampunk chinaman, yuri is doing the customary sweep of all the new rooms and stops just long enough to give the opium den a -- slightly bewildered -- look over before turning to gy. ]

This looks especially fancy.

[liuli]

[ oh? he glances back. ]

It's an opium den. Have you never seen one before? They're starting to get popular in Jiangbei.

[aubins]

[ he just gestures at him ]

I don't even think I know what opium is.

[liuli]

[ wow, this is one of the first times he's felt more ahead of yuri on something that isn't technology related. ]

It's a drug. An extremely potent one.

[aubins]

[ he is the teacher now. please note i deleted a terrible daddy joke just for you, sisi ]

A drug...?




Wow, I want to be surprised they're just dropping drugs into the mix here but I can't say I am given the theming here. [ taking bets, who's going to have a opium induced bang first out of everyone here. ]

[liuli]

[ the judgement here. it is DRIPPING off of this sentence. also thank you. ]

I can't imagine a more indulgent thing, really. That's what these sorts of places are for.

[ gu yun waves his hand. ] I suppose the next thing that will pop up ought to be a brothel, at this rate. Then again, I suppose that's our job.

[ terrible ]

[aubins]

Really?

Well. There's corners for decadence everywhere, in every world. You're bound to stumble across something from time to time whether you mean to or not.

[ he just snorts. ] None of us have needed a brothel to indulge that way, now, have we? [ he saw! those marks at strip check! gu yun! ]

[liuli]

No, we certainly haven't. [ a beat.

and then, with a shameless waggle of his eyebrows, ignoring that yuri is implying that he banged: ] Have you?

[aubins]

[ me, checking the day... ]

I'm perfectly capable of finding my own Indulgences. Just like you are.

[liuli]

[ hmm hmmm ]

What are you implying. [ he's aware. ]

[aubins]

You had some interesting bruises at the trial on Saturday. Fight gone bad? [ the absolute BULLSHIT in his voice ]

[liuli]

[ he seems to find something about that very funny. ]

You're not that far off. [ gu yun waves a hand to dismiss that. anyway. ] Let's not talk about this here - I think the tea room's a rather nicer view, if you're planning on gossip. I think you mentioned staying off with a friend the other night? I'm curious.

[aubins]

[ closes my eyes in exhaustion at that, looking at my monday pcs. ]

Ohhh. A fight gone wrong in all the right ways?

Hmmm. Sure, they have all those little cakes there too. I don't make being surrounded by those.

[liuli]

Something like that.

[ it's

fine. closes eyes also.

gu yun waves him along, with that! off to the tea room they go. he seems very at home here, gathering a tin of green tea and settling down to pour himself a cup, gesturing to yuri to do the same! ]

[aubins]

[ exhausting. ]

[ yuri will... grab a different tin, of something called seiros tea, and sort himself a cup of that with a smile. and also, he's grabbing some cakes.

because all he has done in threads in this room has been "eat cake" and i don't plan on having it stop any time soon. ]

So. Which of us is starting with the embarrassing and awkward personal questions?

[liuli]

I'm embarrassed by nothing.

[ hm ] Who'd you bed, then?

[aubins]

[ that sounds like a challenge. ]

Luca. You?

[liuli]

A gentleman doesn't kiss and tell.

[ WOW

all snickering aside: ]

-- I don't think you'd believe me, if I told you!

[aubins]

Where's the fun in that? What happens in the tea room stays in the tea room.

[ hmmmm ]

Try me.

[liuli]

Hmm....

[ he trails off, thinking. . .(maybe it's just for the drama) ]

Have any guesses? I don't give it away that easily.

[aubins]

I'll remember this next time to ask who I slept with.

[ hmmmm. ]

Mahito?

[liuli]

[ THE FACE HE MAKES ]

What? Where'd you get that idea? No.

[aubins]

[ he just blinks! innocently! ]

Well if you're going to keep me guessing...?

[ who knows what will come out of his mouth next. ]

[liuli]

[ terrible. ]

Guessing badly on purpose, hm? I'm losing faith in your deductive skills.
