Dàjiāhǎo. I know there have been a couple of these already but, I just wanted to make sure that everyone was okay. {Her eyebrows furrow and really, between the mirror thing and now with the earthquakes? It's all a bit much. She sighs.]

But regardless, it seems this city keeps bringing in newcomers. So to those of you who are new, huānyíng,, ah, welcome.

River, darling? Xīwàng rú cǐ.. [She really needs to get them a house so she can keep an eye on her young friend.]

[She reaches up, rubbing her forehead. She's tired and would actually like a break from all the city's craziness. But first, just a few more people to check in on.]

Alice? Jamie? Doc- Eleven? I am praying you are well also. [It looks like she might want to say more but for now, she's just going to leave it at that.]

((OOC: hover over the Chinese for translations.))

I'm fine. [Because such a short text, clearly not suspicious from Alice, of all people.]

[companioning]

[Oh Alice. Inara is not fooled.]

Alice Liddell, I will believe that when I see you.

[madcuriosity]

[It's a very long time before Alice responded.]

Please don't make me leave the house.

[Inara's expression softens.]

Darling, I'm not asking you to do any such thing. Switch to video so I may see you.

[madcuriosity]

You... won't like what you see...

[But all the same, Alice replies. Again, it takes her a while to do it but she turns on the video function. She's pale, she's got bags under her red, puffy eyes, and even her hair seems duller.]

Miss Inara... this isn't really something I wanted to show you.

[It takes Jamie a bit to respond, and when he does, it's not exactly in his usual way...but there's enough chaos right now that in theory there could be reasons for that. The fact that he chooses to focus on Inara more rather than himself? Well, there could be reasons for that, too. But he's not saying why right now.]

Sorry, I was a bit busy. Are ye alright?

[gayagenda]

Yeah, so I know people got all up on the Asian thing after "Gangnam Style," but you're the one who finally converted me.

Congratulations.

You've had losses? My sorrow joins yours. A hard day unto all.

[comeonthensexy]

No need for prayers! I'm fine!

[ Out and about helping people best he can, still. If anyone still needs help. It's what he does. ]

[companioning]

[Inara's eyebrows shoot up and she's rising to her feet.]

Alice, do you really think that I only want to talk to you when you are looking your best?

[Of course Inara is already moving toward the door.]

[video]

[companioning]

[She's beginning to see a pattern here and it's not one that she's really liking.]

I'm tired but well enough. How are you?

video.

[companioning]

[Inara has noooooooo idea what this girl is going on about.]

Gangnam style? I'm sorry but I really don't know what you're talking about.

video

[companioning]

I'm not sure, which is why I made this post. [And apparently she has but she's just learning now just how much so.] But you have? I'm truly sorry.

[Video]

[companioning]

I still say them.

[And she does, every day, whether he likes it or not.]

But you're certain? You're truly fine?

[subecho]

No dead that I stand aware. Some wounded. It is what it is: men heal.

[Video]

[cursedtosleep]

Inara, you're alright. I'm so glad. I feared that something may have happened.

video.

[gayagenda]

Okay, the important part is where you're gorgeous and I'd listen to you speak like, Chinese all day.

Does that help?

video.

[companioning]

[Inara really can't do anything other than smile.]

Fēicháng xièxie. That really is very sweet. I must admit I haven't run into many who here who even know it's Chinese I'm speaking, so it is a little refreshing that you did.

[companioning]

They do, though sometimes only physically. Were you injured?

[Video]

[companioning]

[Inara smiles.]

I'm fine, I almost always am. There's really no need to worry about me. And you? Is everything all right with you?

video.

[gayagenda]

[She's ... smug, even if she doesn't know she doesn't have any reason to be.]

Well, it was that or Korean. I'm glad I guessed right.

video.

[companioning]

Sadly I don't know any Korean, so I'm glad you guessed right as well.

I'm Inara. I don't believe we've had the opportunity to talk before now.

video.

[gayagenda]

Well, at least you'd know I was close. So hey, it worked out.

And I'm Santana. Yeah, I usually don't bother being nice to people over this, but I guess I need to start somewhere.

video.

[companioning]

You have a lovely name, Santana and it's very nice to meet you.

[Inara's eyebrows lift a little.]

Is there a reason you don't bother?
