GUYS!

GUYS GUYS GUYS!

[Hello Exsilium, have a very excited, and possibly familiar to some, Panda! He's been away for a while, but now, it seems, he's back with his usual fanboyish glee.

At least this time we're not seeing the inside of his nose?]

Oh. Right. Sorry, sorry. Volume control. Gotta remember that. But...so cool.

Okay. Okay. I disappeared from here for a while, right? That's what happened? That's what happened. Okay.

We can time travel.

[His expression says "IS THAT NOT THE COOLEST THING EVER?"]

Not the missions, I know about the missions. But we time travel when we go back home! Get this. We come back...exactly...the time we left.

So I didn't even get in trouble with Master Shifu for missing lessons or anything!

[His excitement dulls just a little however, and he looks thoughtful.]

But...okay. It does get kind of weird. I couldn't remember you guys. That was...that was kind of a bummer, actually. But...but now I'm back and it's all back! Here!

[He points to his head.]

Isn't that just the coolest?

((OOC: Folks in (or around) Room 105 can action-tag as well, if they like! Hi new roomies! :D))

[Po's eyes light up with recognition and delight.]

I remember you! Swann! The quarter-wolf guy! Man, I really wish I remembered you when I was home. Master Monkey would have loved to hear your stories.

I wonder if the Initiative can like...make it so we can visit each other when this is all over. Wouldn't that be awesome?

[kingdom_of_song]

[Swann growls, then smirks and tugs on his beard.]

Och, is Master Monkey a bard as well?

[He scratches his chin.]

Welll... I dinnae, I've never been tae China. What's it like?

[He's genuinely interested. He's read stories, of course, and Gong never talked about it.]

[skadoosh]

Master Monkey? Naaah, he's a kung fu master like me! But he loves telling stories and jokes. I bet you'd really like him! I think he'd like you too!

[He looks confused for a moment.]

China? Nah, I'm from the Valley of Peace! It's well uh...peaceful, for one thing. Usually. That's why we have the Furious Five and the other masters! We protect the Valley in case evil comes calling!

We've got lots of villages, a lot of farms, the biggest village is around the Temple. That's on a mountain, and the village is all 'round it. I live in the Temple now, but I used to live with my dad at Golden Harvest Noodles. Man, going up those stairs to the temple was murder.

I mean it's not as...explodey...as here, and we don't have the talky boxes and the fast cooking things, but it's home.

[kingdom_of_song]

Sounds lovely... simple, even. The best sort of thing! I dinnae have all this technology stuff either, just the world and my wagon and my family.

[He smiles fondly]

And yer a hero there, perfect for what we're doing, eh?

[Pause.]

Is Master Monkey a monkey?

[Because, well, Po is a big black and white talking bear.]

[skadoosh]

Yeah, I miss home already. Ooh! My dad didn't have a wagon but he had a noodle cart. We used to take it all over and make noodles for everybody!

Mm-hm! Master Monkey's a monkey. The rest of the Furious Five's is Tigress, and Crane, and Viper, and Mantis! And then there's Master Shifu, he's a red panda, and Master Oogway! He's a turtle! Or well, was. Now he's flower petals. And my dad's named Ping, but he's a goose. And well, I'm just Po. You don't have to be named what you are, but we do it a lot. It uh...can get kinda confusing sometimes.

[kingdom_of_song]

[A turtle turned to flower petals. Right.]

Och, noodles. We had a bloke in our caravan what used tae make the most amazing noodles from eggs an' flour. 's why he had chickens, gods the noise and the feathers everywhere but it was worth it.

[Pause. Thinking look while studying Po.]

D'you cook anymore? Because I was thinking of opening a pub, a wee one, where tae serve drinks and such. Stuff that'll spin heads, aye.

[skadoosh]

Ooh! Is a pub like a restaurant? Because I'm a good cook! Not as good as my dad, but nobody is. And noodles are real easy to make. We could call it "Dragon Warrior Noodles and Drinks!"
