BTW do you guys need Douchebag and his lady-killer assistant to hang around while Three Little Pigs and Plague get it going with Old Man Wu?

If not maybe I can advance the Donghai war storyline for a bit.

Uhh... don't leave for Donghai yet. I have a subplot that needs Mr. Zhou in the palace for another short while.

i need prince ying hanging out a bit...if you're unable to get him to hang around then no worries. i can easily make do without him.

OK sure. *Steps on brake* Screech!!

HAHA lame.

[Ren Ying Ying]

Well, donghai war doesn't necessarily need prince Ying and mr Zhou just yet. You can always write of the Xiwu front

You can create your own subplot or join one of ours or pm anyone to help involve your character with their subplots.

Yes lulu, we will gladly torture your character if you need us to

If you don't want to create a character just yet, you can still join in by writing for the NPCs. Just make sure to check up with the NPC's creator .

Or maybe I can write something about Cutie Pie's past training under Jueqing.

Will we be writing it together? :O You post for Cutie Pie and I do so for Jueqing? I don't want to wind up at the hospital.

HAHAHA it's not like that! I'm thinking along the lines of Jueqing recounting how Cutie Pie was his most stubborn and annoying student and how he wanted to leave in exasperation several times but the Xiwu King always pleaded with him to stay.


BTW, GX did you get to vote today?

Aww... I don't think that will happen to Jueqing. His type of person, I don't think he will appreciate her riding on his head so he will make sure he tame her, at least to a certain degree.

Or maybe they can have some sort of mutual respect there.

And yes, I got to vote. Did you get to vote?

[patricia n]

aw...poor lanxi. such a victim of love...sigh.

EDIT: rough work week for me. i will post tomorrow when i've recovered. and i'll let you girls have your fun with the romance before i shift plots.

OK I see what I can do.

Lanxi & Lanyi (NPC)



Yi Lanxi (兰西)
Skill expertise: Lightness arts, stealth, lock picking, etc

Yi Lanyi (兰意)
Skill expertise: Needles (as concealed weapons), bare-handed combat, etc

Ages: mid to late 20s
Occupation: Personal maids of Lady Yi

Background:

As far as Lanxi and Lanyi can remember, they have been traded as slaves from one master to another. Sometimes, they would escape from their masters, but would only end up being kidnapped by another.

They have no idea who their parents are. They don’t know whether their parents died in the chaos of war or whether their parents sold them for money. In fact, they don’t even know what their birth names or true ages are. Of course, neither can they be sure if they are actually sisters. Yet, they have somehow managed to stick with each other throughout all the years. Hence, it didn’t matter whether or not they shared the same blood. They were the only family each other knows.

15 years ago, during the aftermaths of another war, Lanxi and Lanyi managed to escape from their masters at the time. However, due to the destruction of the wars, food was scarce in the region. Luckily, General Yi Weifang passed by the region while on his way returning to Luoyang at the time and found the two just as they were on the verge of starving to death.

As Lanxi and Lanyi did not know their actual birth names, General Yi was the one to name them “Lanxi” and “Lanyi”. Since they serve the Yi family, their surname is “Yi” by default, though no one ever refers to them by their full names and simply uses “Lanxi” and “Lanyi”.

The Yi family is a prominent military family; hence even the servants and maids are required to train in basic martial arts. To General Yi’s surprise, Lanxi and Lanyi turned out to be exceptionally talented and hardworking. Hence, he decided to have them specially trained with more advanced martial arts and personally oversaw their progress. Because of this, they often shared martial arts training time with the young Yi Quan and often became his only playmates.

Lanxi excelled more in lightness skill and stealth while Lanyi excelled more in hand to hand combat and concealed weaponry. 5 years later, General Yi sent them to serve Yi Wanyan (Lady Yi), who was already married to the crown prince. Since then, they have been serving as her eyes, ears, and hands. However, in order to not attract attention, Lanxi and Lanyi usually try to conceal their skills from outsiders.
