Ellipsa's Online Network

I can't sleep and Lady Rinku had a wonderful idea. Though I have a different game in mind. Twenty questions! Except that seems overwhelming, especially at this hour, so I am cutting it to ten.

One: Are you close to your family?
Two: How far have you traveled from home? (Excluding any traveling in Ellipsa.)
Three: Have you ever been in love?
Four: Do you like poetry?
Five: What subjects have you studied?
Six: What are your favorite holidays and why?
Seven: What is your favorite color?
Eight: Have you ever wielded a weapon?
Nine: Did you have powers before you came to Ellipsa?
Ten: If you could be any animal, which would you choose?

Take your time and if any of the questions seems overwhelming, come up with one to replace it.

{Xie Lian falls silent as he waits, a gentle breeze causing the wind-chimes by his head to ring.}

{He is decorating his home, a cute Pokemon on his heels. Qiuhua babbles excitedly, sharing her thoughts and her judgement over the additions. Xie Lian crawls onto a stool and hums under his breath, a merry tune~}

Does everyone have enough warmth and food? {Qiuhua barks with all her tiny might and Xie Lian smiles.} Lady Qiuhua would like to know. She would offer her fur, but I think it looks much better on her.

{After stringing up some lights, he hops down from the stool and sweeps the Eevee into his arms.}

However I am serious: if you lack in either warmth or food, I am ready to help. Just say the word.

Ah...help! {Xie Lian now resembles a merman. Or, rather, a Koi merman. He flaps uselessly in his garden and covers his face with his hands, his finned ears fluttering in embarrassment.}

I think...I need...a pool? A...um...bathtub? Something!

What happens if I dry out?

Everyone! Everyone, listen to me! {Xie Lian is excited. He wants to share his excitement. Come one, come all~ Today is a special day!}

Today is the day someone special was born! My San Lang. Hua Cheng! Wish him a happy birthday, okay? I'll handle the rest~

{Are there balloons? Streamers? Confetti? You better believe it.}

Forgive me, I... {Xie Lian is looking confused and out of sorts, his eyes darting around awkwardly.} I feel as if I was...away? For months.

San Lang? Are you here? {The view is wobbly as he hurries through the snow, his feet sinking into the ice with each step.} Oh this won't work.

{Pushing off of one foot, he leaps into the air, shaking the snow off of his robes.}

I need to return to Mount Tonglu, I'm sorry. Is there a way to draw a Teleportation Array, perhaps? My powers feel stronger in this land. If I could end up close to the mountain, I would find a way in.
