( private // Chinese )

I had hoped to get a short break after everyone...changed before things went wrong here again. But there was something in my reflection aru. I-I'm not sure exactly what it was, I only looked quickly while walking past a store. But it shouldn't have been there.

It's snowing...

Perhaps it will be a good excuse to take a short break to myself.

I suspect this city is about to give us another rude surprise. There is something unnatural in this fog. I don't like it.

[The sound of him knocking on a door. A few seconds go by and he knocks again.]

Russia? Are you awake?

[Silence except for the faint sound of breathing and what might be someone poking at someone's clothed arm. Yao has a much stronger Chinese accent when he speaks next.]

Ai ya. He isn't waking up.

Sorry, I had to stay home longer then expected.

What is everyone decorating for?

My head...that was a few days I could have done without. I feel like I just came back from a the Prime Minister's banquet.

I'm sorry for anything I might have said. Or done. I think I threatened a boy with a sword...? Hopefully Huang Long will never hear of this. At least I didn't run into the alien, that could have been unfortunate.

Hong Kong? Taiwan? Are you both alright?

Idiot. He should have known better then to try to steal from me. I've never seen someone cry so much when faced with a sword.

I'm getting bored of this place despite its many marvels and I am starting to think people here are confusing me with someone weaker. I need to return home. Someone will soon discover I am gone which will throw things into worse chaos.

What an interesting place...But I have no time to waste here. I can bring back my King once the wars are over. Whoever that King might be.

The wars haven't spread here have they? That would be a disappointment.

I never did expect to spend New Years in the hospital. I wonder how auspicious it is to spend the New Years here. It is a place where life is protected, so it can't be that bad. I can ask Huang Long when I go home next.

It's almost peaceful in here, more so then outside I think. And the nurses seem to like having me around much more then Belarus, I don't want to know what you did to them. The alien had better not come to speak to me.

---------------

I'm not entirely sure what's going on but the mentions on the network don't sound good. Wasn't there an agreement not to fight here? I'll be staying in a hotel I think, until this is resolved. Just in case. Hong Kong, you should join me.

It seems I missed something the other night? I was kept busy for the weekend.

The city doesn't seem to be razed aru.
