Hello, hello Trench! If you don't know me, I'm Wu, and I run the Raccoon Room, Trench's exclusive Sleeper performance venue.

[ Wu grins at the camera, talking a bit fast, clearly excited about something. The excitement palpable even through the Omni with his paleblood power projecting his emotions. Fritter the raccoon is perched on his shoulder, holding on to some of his hair as he talks ]

I come to you today with an announcement. A very important announcement! I know a lot of us have baggage we're carrying around from back home, and after a while, you might be like, hey, this isn't super important anymore! And then something happens, and it's suddenly really, really important again.

[ Wu puffs himself up a bit, sitting up straighter, putting his free hand solemnly to his chest. Fritter mimics him, doing the same action with her little paw to her heart ]

So, today, on this, February second, of the Egg Moon in Trench, Deer Country, I, Wu, King of the Earth Kingdom back on my world that doesn't have it's own specific name, I hereby formally abdicate my claim to the Earth Kingdom throne and title.

[ As soon as he's done, the formality breaks and he lets out a bright laugh. Fritter chitters excitedly, crawling up into Wu's hair. ]

Whew! That felt good, really good. [ But then his eyes go wide and he adds, conspiratorially: ] Oh, but if you're from home and you somehow go back home and there's another Wu there, he didn't do that, not yet at least! He still has some work to do.

[ We're back to casualness, and a bright, wide grin. ]

I'm glad that's done with. Oh, boy. You know, that super important thing? Mako and I are getting married! And he doesn't want any pesky titles following him around like mine was. So, we're just going to be two regular guys. Just two guys, getting married. [ He sighs happily, clearly deeply, disgustingly in love. Fritter rolls out of his hair and he casually catches her in his arms.

Then he gasps again, sitting up: ] Oh, and you're all invited! February 20th, at the Raccoon Room. I'll see you there!

[ He doesn't know. He doesn't know at all. ]

Our of tubes?! [ He's going to believe all of this, his eyes going wide ] Wow, that... sounds very, ah, convenient!

[azurestar]

[Oh poor Wu. Lance is like a kid testing where the line is, so e's just gonna keep going.]

Oh yeah, makes eating on the go even faster. And don't forget to smack your lips real loud and go 'DY-NO-MITE!' after every sip. It tells everyone else how good the soup is so they go get some too. Gotta support our local businesses, after all.

[royalfling]

After... after every bite? Are your chefs really that insecure?

[ Okay, Lance. That's almost a step too far. Almost. He is suspicious now ]

[azurestar]

No, no, after every sip. It's a soup only thing, and it's not about the chefs being insecure, it's about letting everyone around you know you have good soup and where they can go to get some of their own!

[royalfling]

That-- you can't be--

[ Okay, okay. He has to be being fucked with now. But he is just going to lean over and ask Mako in a stage whisper if "some" people really say dynamite after every sip of soup, to which Mako confirms that yes, this is a thing that "some" people do, said in a deadpan voice. Wu sputters and stares at him, then at Lance, clearly trying to work through this in his mind ]

I've-- I've never seen either of you do that!

[azurestar]

[Maybe Mako isn't as boring as he thought? (He may be currently texting with Bolin at the same time about Mako's bachelor party) Because that stage whisper is pretty apparent and he chuckles.]

Well, ask yourself this: have you ever seen us sip street soup?

[royalfling]

That-- no! No. Is it just street soup? Not all soup?

[ Mako makes a good show of being horribly boring, but Wu knows the truth ]

[azurestar]

Juuust street soup. It's hard for street soup to get noticed any other way since they move around!

[Lance may have to try and goad the more interesting sides of him out more.]

[royalfling]

[ Wu nods. Okay, that's more convincing. Soup seems like a strange choice to eat without a table, but, well. Who is he to question a culture he's only tangentially aware of? ]

Okay... okay! Good to know! I'll be sure to, um, do that. If I ever try it.

[azurestar]

[Yessss, oh he's going to continue to have so much fun with this.]

Well, it's starting to look like the good people of Trench still haven't discovered the joys of street soup through a straw. Maybe we should fix that.
