Concerning Shang's Funeral

[thethirdhare.livejournal.com]

Hi guys!

I'd like to call forth the attention o feveryone who will be attending Shang's funeral.

It is happening this IG day, and so I thought it would be good to come to a consensus of what happened. Personally I think this might be better handwaved since it will be a lot of ritual that doesn't have much interaction and then everyone just going "we're sad :(" but if a lot of you would like to RP it out, or at least a little of what happens afterward/before I can get a log up.

This is how I imagined things going:

Ping and Alphonse (if he isn't now distracted by Ed's arrival) would have left early to get Shang to the burial site, where there is already a grave dug out for him. It is located near the Indian Spring [looked on a map], more specifically on the south side of a hill near it. Everyone would arrive later, and they would be requested to wear white clothes. Thus would undergo typical rites of Ancient China (if you are unsure here is a decent enough website on it).

Once done people will be free to go, or remain as Mulan will for three days of mourning. Rations and whatnot have been brought. Note, however, that obviously this will mean that your character won't be able to participate in the party.

Arashi and China will definitely attend, but idk how long they'll stay there. China might get very involved (and stay) since he was close to Shang, but I think Pelt's arriving back in a couple of days, so she can decide that for him.

Sakura...might drop by, if only to pay her respects.

Fine with either handwaving or playing it out. o>

Okie doke! Gotcha, though if Sakura is coming it would be best to accompany the main group or come with someone else seeing as out its outside the city

[rosy-wings.livejournal.com]

Yeah, was planning on having her go with the main group, actually. ♥

Roy and Laura are definitely in. Raidou might go if Naoto does, but I realize now that he might not want to intrude. owo

...And Mukuro is most definitely not going to be there. Ahaha. ;;

As far as I know Naoto is not going--at least Sammy hasn't mentioned anything to me about her going, and she didn't really know Shang or Ping all that well. I shall keep it in mind tho

Ash will go! But he will feel awkward and leave Ping alone (cause that's how Ashy deals with sadness making things)

You can bet your gong Mushu is staying with Mulan the whole time, hiding though if others are gonna be there >_>. Cause I think only...Ling and Mulan know who/what he is?

And China~ But yes! It all sounds good.

Germany and Watson will attend, but they won't do the three day thing!

Gotcha

[socialbutterfly]

Minato will wander in and out to observe, though he likely won't stay the duration either.

Armstrong will be going to pay respects to a fellow soldier.

Responding not so late!

That is to say, China's set to camp out with Mulan for three days. u.u Someone better still drag Arashi off to that party.

[starkissed.livejournal.com]

Taiwan might be dragging her away ;;

Also, just know that Fuumui will likely be bothering Arashi during the party.

[closedmarket.livejournal.com]

I await the formal meeting between China and Kamui very much, honestly.

Kick him in the shins, Arashi!

[starkissed.livejournal.com]

But if she does, he might just do worse things ---- D:

Aim higher? >8

Chinaaa. Aw :< okie doke! Seems it'll just be him and Mulan then. They'll be back the first of August then which will probably land on the 19th!

Would you maybe want to log the two of them talking at some point in the 3 day period?

[closedmarket.livejournal.com]

Awesometastic! Well. Depressivetastic, but, hey, bonding time.

And all up to you. O: Maybe their returning, at the end? It'd be an easy thing to imply, if they're just coming back.
