Tea Break 4 (Video)

[tea_lover64]

[Iroh gives a pleasant smile as the video opens up. In front of him there is a pai-sho board. It was time to finally time to formalize a date and setting for something he proposed awhile back]

Hello everyone, as some of you may remember, I had inquired about the interest of learning the wonderful game of pai-sho back a couple of months ago. It seemed there was at least a fair amount of interest in such a thing, so I am proceeding as if there were.

[He takes a sip of tea, placing it down delicately before continuing]

I would like to have the first learning day on the second of March. I haven't seen any holidays then, and it seems a good time for it. It will be held at the Welcome Center, and I hope that we shall have a great turn out. I humbly ask those who already are familiar with the game to come by and assist those who are learning.

[He inclines his head politely for such a request]

If anyone else would like to contribute a bit of time to help with set up, or perhaps some snacks, I would most appreciate it.

[He gives a kindly smile]

I look forward to seeing you all there, please feel free to ask any questions or concerns you may have.

[Ah the excitable man]

I would appreciate that. I need someone to help promote the event and greet people.

[dealsinshipping]

Well, you're lookin' at the right guy! I'll promote some and greet some, then promote some more... And then I'll do both at the same time!

[tea_lover64]

Glad to hear you are so enthused.

[Come to think of it, he had never heard otherwise]

[dealsinshipping]

Hey, in a place like this? Any boardgame can catch my interest! I mean, if it's a choice between Pai Sho and watching paint dry, Pai Sho's gonna win by a landslide!

[This argument sounded amazing in his head, but might sound a little less endearing now that it's been vocalized.]

[Video]

[tea_lover64]

Perhaps when you are promoting you might choose a different set of words to make it more interesting.

[Not very endearing at all]

[dealsinshipping]

Oh! Oh right! Hm... [He runs a hand through his hair as he thinks for a moment. Then another excited smile dawns on his face.]

How about... Pai Sho, the most challenging game since tigershark wrestling!

[Video]

[tea_lover64]

Well, we don't want to scare people away. I would say tigershark wrestling is a lot more dangerous and physically challenging than Pai Sho. Perhaps just stick with the interest aspect of things, a traditional game of our world, played by people of all backgrounds, from royalty to farmers, water tribe and earth kingdom. Sort of along those lines.

[Don't tell people it takes more effort than wrestling tiger sharks Varrick]

[dealsinshipping]

[Hm. With how prone some people around here are to fighting, he figured they'd be all over tigershark wrestling. Maybe not.]

Right, right. Traditional game, very historical, very diverse... But if that doesn't work, I'll bring up the free snacks.

[Video]

[tea_lover64]

Yes, that seems more suitable.

[Free snacks always seemed to work]

[Video]

[dealsinshipping]

Gotcha! [There's a moment's pause, then he eases into a more serious expression. He still remembers what was discussed the last time he spoke to Iroh over the journals. Young Fire Lord Zuko being sent home, that is.]

Sooo... How've you been, anyway?

[Video]

[tea_lover64]

I have been quite well thank you. Keeping busy and active as I can be.

[He was accustomed to having long periods of absence from those he loved]

[Video]

[dealsinshipping]

Yeah? Good for you! Life gets pretty goshdarned boring when you're not busy.

[Video]

[tea_lover64]

Yes, though some of what I do I believe teenagers might find rather boring.
