1 ❦ ACTION + PHONE (WEDNESDAY EARLY AFTERNOON-ISH)

[macanese]

A) PHONE: [He picks up the phone, hesitant as he hasn't seen a phone, let alone a house like this in many years. He dials a number -- China's number from back home to be exact. A-ah, maybe something got mixed in his tea and this is all a dream. This couldn't be some new resort, and he's pretty sure tourists wouldn't care for something like this

[It may not be the most rational thought in her hand, considering she's been in this exact situation a couple of times now, but after the exhaustion of the past month it is the only prominent thought in her head.

So Hungary finally makes herself known once the stranger's taken his treacherous step towards the kitchen's exit.]

STAY AWAY FROM THE FLOWER BED!

[macanese]

[He turns around, seeing a rather angry woman behind him... and something about a flower bed? He does a little bow before speaking.]

I beg your pardon, miss, but it seems I have found myself here without the intent of wanting to be here. [oh did that make sense... he's never been in this situation before.] I mean no harm, and I apologize if I have done anything to receive such a strong response. [AKA ANGER, but... strong is a politer way of phrasing it.]

[muskatli]

Oh, of course it's always an accident at first [she waves her broom for emphasis--the closest thing on hand] and no one really means to--

...Who are you?

[macanese]

[He backs away a bit, waving his hands out in front of him.] If it is something you rather have me not do, intentional or not, I will cease to do so.

[he gives a little bow once again.] I am Ho Jin, but I am also known by Adé if you wish to call me such. [He pauses briefly, trying to err on the side of caution.] May I request your name? No apology is acceptable if I do not know your name.

[gezellighe]

What a bad time to show up here.

[macanese]

[Oh.... that voice is for sure isn't China's. Maybe he got the wrong number? Or China lost his phone... again.]

I may have dialed the incorrect number, but is a Mister Wang Yao present?

[gezellighe]

. . . looking for China, Macau?

[Yeah, he heard Macau talking to Hong Kong earlier. Kind of a nosy guy. . .]

[macanese]

[He's caught off guard by such a statement, still not sure who the person speaking to him is.]

Yes, and may I ask who you are? It is only fair that I know who you are if you know who I am.

Phone

[pasodoble]

Hm? Is something wrong?

[macanese]

Yes, there seems to be... [He isn't 100% sure who this, but he seems to have a vague idea who it is.] pardon me, but is this Mister Spain?

[pasodoble]

Hm? ( ( Waiting to hear what's wrong-- ) ) Sí, and this is?

[macanese]

This is Macau -- formerly one of Portugal's colonies. It has been a long time since we've spoken, it seems.
