I don't think we're in Karakorum anymore, Toto

[wrath_ofkhan]

[has made a small pile of stones, and is looking down at it sadly] ... [sniffs, and wipes his nose on his sleeve; he's no longer the emotional wreck he was on the 18th, but there's still leftover melancholy]

They didn't even tell me where they buried you, so I guess this'll have to do. As a stand-in, or something, I guess. [nudges the pile] ...You were a great boss. Best ever. Ogedei's doing an awesome job and all, but it's just not the same, you know? I mean...

[stops short: something feels a bit off.] ...? [looks around, and suddenly realizes that he's totally not where he thought he was] ...The hell--!?

[oriental_paris]

Hmmn? Knowing doesn't change anything, dear Mongolia~.

[wrath_ofkhan]

Okay, now you're acting really weird. What's your problem?

[oriental_paris]

... Hahaha... ha... It's just--it's so strange to see you... as you are now.

[wrath_ofkhan]

As I am now? What do you mean?

[quickly looks down at himself] ...There's nothing wrong with me, is there? I feel fine, same as always... damn it, I knew this place was trouble!

[oriental_paris]

As...you are now. You have not looked that way for--[sees your look of extreme confusion]--... nevermind.

... But heh. Welcome, anh cho de. ♥

[wrath_ofkhan]

[still feeling quite creeped out, but gives her a small smile anyway] ...Yeah, sure. Thanks, I guess.

weirdo.

...Hey, what's your name, anyway? I don't think I caught it.

[oriental_paris]

Knowing really doesn't change anything. And China will be... thrilled to see you like this, I'm sure.

Con quỷ.

... Xin loi, I should have introduced myself. [small curtsy and head bow.] Việt Nam. Or, perhaps, Đại Việt would be a more familiar name for you.

[wrath_ofkhan]

[inclines his head, politely touching a hand to the edge of his helmet] Nice to meet you.

[looks confused again] ...Sorry, what was that? I could've sworn you just said you were Đại Việt... but that's crazy; she's way younger than you, haha.

[oriental_paris]

No. You heard me right. I am Đại Việt. Err, not that I go by that name now but this is name that you are most familiar with.

[wrath_ofkhan]

[congratulations, Vietnam, you just short-circuited his brain] ...

...You...

...What!? How... how is that possible--!?

[oriental_paris]

[Thanks, she feels pretty proud; is she the first? Never had to deal with a country outside of present-day before.]

... Aaah, what is easiest way to put this... mmn, there are so many way to say this! You are... aah, this place is... not when you think it is.

[wrath_ofkhan]

But you... and the... and... um.

"When?" What do you mean, "when"? I-it's the same as always, right?

...it's 1240, right? ...Right? oh, what the hell is going on...

[oriental_paris]

1240?

... No. It... it is 2009.

[wrath_ofkhan]

T... Two-thousand...

...

...Prove it. Fucking prove it. [mutters:]I can totally handrehandle this. This is just some weird joke, with a weird girl who looks like Đại Việt. Yeah, that... that's it...

[oriental_paris]

And how would you like me to prove it? Tell you about your own invasion plans and how it unfolds? Since you would not believe me even if I produced a calendar.
