[The communicator accidentally clicks on after Cao Cao flung the poor device up against a nearby wall. He was throwing a royal fit, just yelling and cursing at everything that wasn't his precious hat. It seems that during his sleep that his hat was snatched by a certain someone but Cao Cao of course suspected it was Sun Ce who done it.]

That miserable little child! How many times must I tell you to keep your hands to yourself and leave my belongs alone!

SUN CE! WHERE IS IT?! I'll cut out your miserable tongu---OW!

[Guess who stepped on the communicator just now and is limping around.]

D-damn it...

[Coughing slightly thanks to all the dust and smoke that flew up once the fifth floor collapsed.]

How did this happen!? The tremors weren't that strong! [Ends up coughing again except this time a bit longer than before. There is the sound of glass breaking followed by something crashing within the background. Probably fragments of the ceiling that is tumbling down.]

S-Sun Ce!? [Grumbling.] Where the hell did he go!?

[He can be heard rummaging about through the wreckage.] ...is that a corpse?

Ah, it's not Sun Ce's...[A faint sigh of relief.] There is blood and glass everywhere. The entire sky can be seen from here.

I have had enough of the chaos here!

How can such a land function without establishing a proper governing body? How can we pretend this is a stable society when it is not? There is only so much that can be done under the guise of the individual, this is why I must ask for change now before we all find ourselves in more despair and misery. Instead of us constantly stating reasons as to why none of us can forge a collective census to end the strife within our land, let us forge together in order to promote a lasting peace for ourselves and our fellow man!

I do realize there are many of us who hail from different worlds, many of us who come from various lands that are plagued with blight and war. We are all kidnapped saviors from worlds that do not value peace and worlds that do not honor the sanity of life. Despite us being here against our will, we have done nothing to ease the agony we face here by constantly embellishing this unpleasant anarchy.

The innocents are being punished and the weak are suffering in quiet agony.

If we truly desire change for this land, then why haven’t we as a collective whole sparked any change here? Are we so lazy that we cannot even lift a finger to help save ourselves?

I ask you all, what shall become of us if we continue to linger within our differences and fail to progress as people unified in a common goal?

Bofu! What is all this talk about you scarring the minds of the masses as of late?
I hear you are quite fond of talking about your...well...

Forget I even asked.

Lord Tir, I do hope all is going well despite our given situation! As you may know, Leanne has fallen prey to the Malice. Sun Ce and I shall attempt to thwart her rampage with our blades but if we do fail, be sure to stop her.

I do wish I had more pleasant news to speak about, Tir.

(Text; Public)

As much as I enjoy the peace between you and Junyi, Lord Sun Ce...I cannot help but wonder as to what has changed you so.

Not only does your sudden demeanor worry me but I have heard news that many others within this realm are not behaving normally. Some claim this is the work of some sort of 'plague' but I do not know if such an answer is true.

Therefore, I shall just ask...

Are you well, Bofu?

(Voice)

[-Hiccups-]

People? What people? Surely these fools are not here for my precious wine!

If so, I shall cut them all down with my b-[-hiccup-] blade if need be!

Now...

Where is that fodder again? Ugh! [-Whispering-] My head is killing me...


[ooc: guess who is tipsy from all the wine during a 4th wall event?]

(Video; Chinese)

[-The video starts off with Cao Cao laughing madly as he records the kitchen. He gets closer to the running sink and it's easy to tell that it's not water rolling down from the faucet.-]

It's wine! Real wine! Look at that glorious red hue!

[-Zooms in the camera for a better and clearer view of the "oh-so wonderful" wine.-]

The heavens has blessed us, Bofu! They have blessed us in the form of this magical wine! It is endless in supply and sweet upon the lips.

We need not worry about having enough to quench our thirst.

This is a wonderful evening~

[-Gleefully starts to recite this poem again but this time in his native tongue.-]


[ooc: um yeah, this is because of Azriphale's chip plot.-]

(Video; Chinese)

[-Grumbling to himself as he sorts through all the loot he snatched while with Sun Ce. Unlike the other warlord, Cao Cao found a few worn out shirts and pants instead of writing material. He even found a old beaten up leather coat that he is now cutting apart.-]

Some of this garbage must be useful in some way...

[-Holds up the strip of leather within his hands.-]

Perhaps this thick fabric can be used as light armor or such.

Mother's Day?

Is this some sort of wayward pagan tradition? Honoring your mothers is quite unusual...

Usually it is the daughter's duty to honor her mother, not the son. Does such a day truly need to be celebrated?

I do not even remember how she looked like.

No matter, I suppose I should more grateful for such a peaceful day. It's rather warm out.

It seems as if the gloom that once filled our hearts has vanished at last! No longer do we fear our shadows and no longer do we fear death.

This calls for celebration, yes? Then why is it that no one has taken the initiative to plan for one? Perhaps a little bit of inspiration shall inspire you all to celebrate our freedom from the terrors that lurk beyond the gave.

Lord Sun Ce, I do dedicate this poem to you as well as the rest of fair Discedo!

------------------

To my wine I sing
of the times of peace,
when officers shall not make calls at the door.
The ruler is bright and virtuous,
His ministers loyal and trustworthy.
Abiding by propriety and courtesy,
The people have no cause for lawsuits.

From three years of farming, nine years of stores,
The granaries overflow with grains –
While the elderly have no need to labour.
Rainfall is abundant and of proper time,
The myriad of crops a great harvest yields.

From dukes down to viscounts,
all love the common people,
demoting the unworthy, raising up the good –
As fathers and brothers they nurture the people.
Those who defy the law
are punished according to the severity;
though none is so selfish as to take roadside property.
The jails are all empty,
and on Solstice day no sentences are pronounced.

------------


(ooc: *snickers* historical poetry ftw...)

[-Silent for a few minutes except for his faint mumbling as he reads the message that was scribbled across the wall.-]

Quite a flight of mind...
Greeted by a ghost?

Perhaps needing assistance...?

[-Pauses-]

What is this jibberish? Is this Sun Ce's doing? No, no...

He hasn't returned as of yet. That fool is probably dead somewhere if the ghouls hasn't gotten to him first.

[-Sighs and whispers.-] But even if he is dead, why is it that he has not returned here? Am I truly alone in this world now?

[-Continues reading the message.-]

Take a gander, I could demand her help but she fled to the Lander...

The Lander? Do they mean the Boulevard nearby? There is a street named that...


[ooc: this is backdated about...what, five hours earlier? /fail]

...It seems that something may be at amidst here.

The scientists have been quiet for far too long and I knew that some kind of evil would befall upon us. Although, does it seem quite odd for all of us present here to be experiencing the same sense of dread?

I have no doubt that this is their doing.

[Voice] | Chinese

[-A low groan is heard, almost more of a pained grumble than one caused by exhaustion. A few curses follow, all within his native tongue, before he tries to speak clearly into the device.-]

Sun Ce, are you sure that was wine? Nngh... It was too good.

[-A sigh-] How odd...the room, it is still moving. Hm, this must be sorcery.

Out of mild curiosity, whatever happened to the gentleman who challenged me a few months ago? The one who claimed he could learn Chinese in just a few days?

I'll admit, the task of learning about engineering is rather daunting but I shall not cede as of yet.

[ooc: sorry Sun Ce, he drunk up all the wine~]

Is it common practice for the skies to shower us with such gifts or is this a way of the scientists letting us know they still exist?

Whichever the answer I am grateful for the items I have received today. Despite the fact that such tribute pales in comparison to the riches I once enjoyed in my homeland, I suppose these goods were the best these overseers could muster up.

Ty Lee, it seems there is no need for arts and craft now. A calligraphy set with a bottle of black ink has magically appeared along with a new robe.

I trust that others have received gifts as well that are reminiscent to the lands from which we hail from.

When was the last time the scientists contacted any of you? Has Discedo been this quiet since I last remembered?

If so, then I assume we are long overdue for an audience by them.

That was a very interesting match...

Perhaps I was too quick to state that there is no one here that could match my skills. Akihiko Sanada has certainly proved me wrong.

I enjoyed myself, Sanada. I hope that both our injuries shall heal with haste.

Honestly, there isn't a single calligraphy brush anywhere in this God forsaken hell!?

This must be some sort of punishment by the Gods, the boredom alone is enough to slay the most virtuous of men. The beasts do nothing to bring me amusement, far too many of these fiends are simply too dull witted to be considered suitable opponents.

[-Sighs-] But suppose I should count my blessing at least...

I am not dead yet. That is always a plus.

[ooc: CR? I need it.]

[-Grumbling as he wanders about, probably searching for something.-]

To spend another waking moment here is simply daunting! Ugh, that brat is still fooling around with that junk he found...

[-Mutters a few curses here and there until he finally speaks up again.-]

Does anyone happen to have a vial of ink? The color does not matter but the quality does.

Ah! Also some paper and perhaps a brush? I doubt such items will be that difficult to find but considering the lack of useful items within those shops...

[Audio; Chinese]

Nnngh…

Oh…what? My head, was I struck by an arrow…?

[-Grumbling faintly as he tried to rise to his feet, obviously in agony since he is groaning.-]

Those insufferable rogues…They tried to ambush us within the forest! Where is my steed? I’ll crush the al---[-Pauses abruptly once he noticed his surroundings.-]

What in the name if the Heavens!? T-th-this cannot be! No! NO!

[-Let’s out a grunt once he finally managed to stand, Cao Cao was just snatched out of the middle of a fierce battle with the rebels in Wuyang.-]

…I remember this world.

Discedo is what they call it. This world of death and impurity…it was not a nightmare after all.

[-A deep sigh…-]

This must be punishment bestowed by the Gods themselves if I find myself trapped in this hellish domain for a second time!

[-Growling softly-] Why must it be I that must be punished?!

I cannot believe the Gods favor that Xuande over me!
